...intense heat made the atmosphere tremulous and wavy. At the end of three hours the heart, which was unusually big remained unconsumed. The frontal bone of the skull . . . fell off, and the brains literally seethed, bubbled and boiled. . . . Byron could not face the scene. . . . The village children . . . told each other that from these bones, once they had reached England, the dead man would come to life...
...rain washes everyone clean. The minister who plans to leave with the woman he loves?a wife who has fled ashore from the yacht of her wastrel millionaire husband?finally sends her back to the debauchee.

Yesterday, in the trial heat, Watters time was 1.55 2-10, three seconds slower than Meredith's record mark, but in the competition of today's battle for the half-mile championship, it is generally believed that he will cut his time down to within a fraction...
Captain Pelletier d'Oisy, flying from Paris to Tokyo (TIME, May 12) arrived at Canton, China, was greeted by President Sun Yat-Sen* of South China and members of the French Colony. His total flying time from Paris was 80½ hours. D'Oisy reported heat waves and sand storms from Calcutta as the chief obstacles and predicts the stretch he has just crossed will be the most difficult for the American flyers...
