Experimental physicists have found that the electron has an intrinsic mass or "weight" of about .0000000000000000000000000009 gram. This quantity is usually represented by the convenient symbol m. Both experimental and mathematical physicists have regarded m as a major constant of nature, a foundation stone of the universe...
Kline of the Merck & Co. laboratories. From rice polishings it was very expensive but the synthetic manufacture is cheap. Merck & Co. markets the vitamin in one-gram, one-tenth-gram and one-hundredth-gram tablets but does not advertise to the public and sells only to the medical profession.

...important and already broadly extended research into what makes vegetation grow. It is estimated that one ounce of active plant hormone would stimulate enough vegetation to girdle the earth at the equator. Researchers can now detect the effect on one plant of one ten-billionth of a gram of hormone. No subject has excited plant physiologists more than this in the past decade, and it has seen its major development in the last five years. Yet it was foreshadowed a half century ago by Julius von Sachs, a brilliant German who reasoned that roots and flowers must be produced...
...assays showed that the deposit was rich and copious. In 1933 a refining plant was completed at Port Hope on Lake Ontario, 3,500 miles away. The Great Bear Lake find broke the Belgian monopoly, reduced the price of radium to its present level of $25,000 per gram. Few months ago Canada celebrated production of its first ounce of radium...
