...summer and 347-day winter. Last week it was summer time on Mars' earthward hemisphere. The planet's ice cap was almost all melted. The stained areas showed the faint regular lines which some observers have called "canals." Their irregular spread, coupled with measurements of their heat, suggest that the stains are seasonal vegetation...
Acetylene gas in a sealed tube was reduced to a surprisingly large quantity of yellow powder, resembling varnish, which resisted all chemical reagents and a heat of 4000°. The powder was a substance utterly unknown to chemists. Precipitated by the ray upon an aluminum disc, the powder became an enamel which could not be removed...
...limestone burned angry orange. After exposure to the rays, these minerals looked searing hot but were not. Their fluorescence was without rise in temperature and in some cases persisted for hours after the exposure (as displaced electrons worked slowly back to their places in the atoms). The application of heat and cold (liquid air) altered the speed and intensity of these effects. Diamonds were only temporarily affected by exposure...
