Senses No. 6 through No. 9 are found easily by breaking down the sense of touch into five separate senses: "crude" touch, pressure, heat, cold and pain. (Some authorities list four: "true" touch, temperature, superficial pain and deep pain.) Says Author David W. Foerster, a third-year medical student (University of Oklahoma) who has made a special study of the subject: "Ordinarily, when we feel an object, we bring into play three or four of these senses simultaneously . . . When we touch a hot stove, we experience heat, pain, crude touch and perhaps pressure...
...varsity lacrosse team, its already thin ranks seriously depleted by recent injuries, will face a severe test of stamina this afternoon when it faces the M.I.T. squad at the Tech field. The Engineers' team can hardly be rated powerful, however, and the predicted brea kin the heat wave should work to the Crimson's advantage...
...killed himself rather than face the Sun King without enough fish for his pièce de résistance. Fortunately, no such tragedy marred last week's visit of Britain's Queen Elizabeth to France, although one great cake prepared in her honor collapsed from the heat before she got to it and had to be hurriedly propped up. No one's life was held forfeit, and the first visit of a reigning British queen since Victoria was such a success (except for a royal umbrella lost at Orly Airport) that even the Communist newspapers...
Other Possibilities. Wynder also saw hope for making the cigarette safer along several other lines. One is to reduce the temperature at which a cigarette burns, now in the 800°-880° C. range, to a heat now shown to be relatively harmless-around 767.° the average temperature at which tobacco burns in a pipe. (This might be done either by adding a chemical to the tobacco, or-more likely-by changing the cut to resemble that of pipe tobacco...
...temperature. The engine can be made to run on almost any combustible liquid, even thick black bunker oil. Since the gases that spin the turbine have been mixed with scavenging air, they are not very hot (800-900° F.), so the turbine need not be made of expensive, heat-resistant metals...
