Last month racial feeling reached fever heat when a score of whites snatched Horace Ida off the streets of Honolulu, drove him out to Pali, soundly beat him after threatening to throw him to death off the cliff. Ida claimed but could not prove that U. S. sailors were responsible...
...were incredible, he tossed one into a pot of water, cried: "Notice that it floats. If I should leave it here for a year it would still be floating. In other words we have a brick which is light, one-fifth the weight of an ordinary brick, of high heat-insulating quality, porous, yet resistant to the entrance of water, and of a crushing strength sufficient to support its weight if built into a tower five times the height [1,250 ft.] of the Empire State Building...
...Heat & Sex, The outer case of an egg is its female element, the stuffing its male element, with temperature determining the predominance of either, contended Dr. Emil Witschi of the University of Iowa. To support his argument he showed pictures of incubating frog eggs. Those which were maintained at 59° F. grew thick shells, became female polliwogs. Those maintained at 82° F. developed big insides, turned into male tadpoles...
Oldtime theologians thought of hell in terms of fire and brimstone-volcanic heat coming from inside the earth, whose core is probably no hotter than 1,500° C. Modern electrical engineers can produce steady temperatures of 2,000° C. in furnaces for the steel industry, and fortnight ago Chemist Robert Browning Sosman of U. S. Steel Corp. announced that with a heliostat and focusing mirror he had been able to capture 3,000° of the sun's heat (TIME, Dec. 21). With gas, temperatures as high as 4,600° have been obtained, but they could...
Electric furnaces are built on the principle that when electrical energy meets resistance it is converted into heat energy. Well known is the Ajax Northrup high frequency furnace which increases the heat energy by creating a current in the material to be melted. Using this principle, Engineer Chesnut made an experimental furnace of 1 cu. ft. capacity. The crucible was lathed out of a solid block of graphite, a form of carbon which conducts electricity well. To set up the resistance he packed the crucible in lampblack-an obstinate conductor of electricity. The current was carried through a copper coil...
