...lead. But as the Pirates faltered in the home stretch, the Cubs, well aware that there was about $5,000 in World Series swag for each player, kept inching ahead in one of the most exciting stretch finishes since 1908, when the National League race ended in a dead heat...
These mutual insults generated so much heat that finally last week neutral sub-chieftain Abu Khalid arranged a meeting near Jaffa. At the unexpected approach of British troops this meeting broke up, but at a second conference, in the parched hills of northern Palestine, matters were settled amicably. Each chief agreed to allow the other to retain the "Commander-in-Chief" title, but only over separate districts. Neither is now to give the other orders, although "requests for cooperation" will be heeded. To celebrate this "peace" in true Arab fashion, the two chieftains and their henchmen roasted a sheep...
...year men are not thinking exclusively in terms of Harvard Square; in their minds are still the scenes they saw on the way to Cambridge. Many of them came from the West, coming from Chicago by way of Albany and across the flood areas, through cities without light, without heat, without food or medical aid where waters rolled down from mountains and swept all before them. And many came from New York, threading their way in cars through devastated countryside or flying over the Connecticut River that resembled a lake without boundaries: They must have thought of what they could...
...Gamma, of the constellation Cassiopeia (visible in the Northern hemisphere), is 400 times brighter than the sun, nearly five times as hot. Year ago Gamma began to grow brighter, like a nova, or exploding star. Astronomers were sure that the increased brilliance would be accompanied by generation of additional heat, but they were mistaken. For the temperature of Gamma dropped from 28,800° F. to 15,660°. Last May the star attained its greatest brilliance, suddenly "took a nose dive," said Dr. Baldwin, as its light ebbed. Paradoxically its heat increased. It is now at normal temperature again...
...forming a roof over the entire continent. Plotted on a meteorological map they resemble a mass of partly coiled snakes. Although the greater area of each tongue remains at uniform specific humidities, the extremities tend to undergo changes. At the southern ends of the dry tongues heat is lost and dry air descends from the upper regions. The northern ends of the wet tongues tend to condense, pass mois ture to the dry tongues. As the tongues exchange heat and moisture and as atmospheric currents follow the rotation of the earth, transverse currents of air are generated. Theoretically these currents...
