...With portable seismographs, we will go down the 6000 foot hole and fire explosives at different levels along the descent. Then by making a series of observations at the surface of the giant hole we shall record the velocity of the sound in the layers which it penetrated. Finally we shall compare these velocities with those computed from ordinary surface measurements...

Everything was swaying as though motivated by a giant dish-washing machine. Oh! that dull throbbing around the temples! that clammy, sticky, dry, clogged feeling in his throat and upper tonsils.

In a tank of 1,100 of an acre area he grew 1,226 Ib. of lush red tomatoes. His giant tobacco plants are especially impressive (see cut). From 25 sq. ft. of water he got 100 cantaloupes, declared this to be 20 times the yield expected from soil. Pushing against the roof of his greenhouse, with its massive roots in water, is an 18-ft. banana plant, now only eleven months...
