It killed guppies, tadpoles, flatworms, prevented tobacco seeds from sprouting, dimmed the light of luminous bacteria, made mice appear tipsy and terribly thirsty. Then Professor Ingo Waldemar Dagobert Hackh of San Francisco's College of Physicians & Surgeons guessed that a slow, steady increase in the amount of heavy...
