...physicists have filled the gaps in the electromagnetic spectrum, which runs from X rays at the short end, through light and heat, to miles-long radio waves at the other. One big gap remained between the infra-red (heat) waves and the shortest radio waves (about .8 mm.) that man's apparatus could generate. Last week Dr. Hans Motz of Stanford University told how the gap has been filled...

The thin men maintained higher skin readings, partly by drawing on the body's internal heat supply, partly by shivering more. The shivering was accompanied by increased oxygen consumption, as the thin men burned more food to keep warm...
