After Saturday's heat, the Varsity will immediately devote its attention to the four-mile row at New London, which will come on June 16 this year, a week earlier than usual. Smoothness and reserve power are of much more importance in a four-mile than in a two-mile race, and longer workouts will be required...
Throughout the heat, stroke Cassedy of the first shell was able to keep his beat down to about 30, while the Jayvees, steadily falling behind, kept up a good 32 or 33 until the end. The first shell reached the mile mark in 4 minutes, 56 seconds, with the Jayvee boat trailing by a little over a length, and easily widened the gap of blue water to a length in the remaining 3-4 mile...
...Bermuda, Commander Macneil transferred his equipment to a British boat for demonstration behind smoke screens. The Macneil fog-eye, like the Macneil thermoelectric sextant perfected last year (TIME, July 25), functions according to Commander Macneil's thesis that every object not at Absolute Zero (-459.4° F.) radiates heat-like infra-red rays. A two-foot, concave, silvered glass mirror in the fog-eye collects infra-red radiations of objects, focuses the rays on a sensitive thermocouple which translates the infra red rays into faint currents of electricity. A compact amplifier which Physicist Edward Elway Free built for Commander...
...some person in a novel. The streetcars pass, carrying people to no destination; they sit in the brightly lit rows of seats, staring out, they flicker above the roar of the car-wheels, and exist no further. Enchanted, the Vagabond strolls past shops and people, in the still lingering heat, enjoying the colors and smells unthinkingly, willessly...
...cold. Professor Giauque used gadolinium sulfate octahydrate, a colorless crystal substance derived from a rare earth metal. This he cooled to about -306.4° F., when he began wrenching the molecules with a huge magnet which University of California owns. Liquid helium absorbed and withdrew the magnetically generated heat. At -459.1° Professor Giauque was stopped, regretting that he could not stride the stupendously difficult little step of .3° which would carry him to Absolute Zero where substances should retain no more heat, where molecular activity should completely cease. where all things should be coldly inert. But Absolute Zero...
