...large maker says it will drop to 1½? by summer. At 2?, or $40 a ton, the CO 2 men think their product can compete with water-ice. In addition to being twice as cooling, solid CO 2 leaves a blanket of gas which insulates against heat for so long a time as to make it as a whole nearly ten times as efficient as water-ice. Thus at present prices the CO 2 industry hopes to have its real opportunity to supplant water-ice in refrigerating carload lots. But whether it can make money at present prices...
...glow' of a falling meteorite is not the result of combustion but of the extreme heat generated during the dissipation of its molecules by swift collision with those of the air. Small deposits of various metals are often found on sandy ocean beds, and it has been conclusively shown that these deposits are collections of single molecules or small particles of metal 'knocked' from meteorites while they moved through the atmosphere...

As befits the steaming trough, bordered by desert horizons, in which they find themselves, their talk treats of life's early beginnings, Man's ends and possible...
...Virgin Birth. But the scientist's ratiocinations leave him unconvinced. When the anchor-chain grates overboard at Port Said, Joel finds the out-argued priest sticking to his divine guns still. Joel cannot figure him out. Also he sweats less than Joel, does not seem to mind the stewing heat. He is a queer fish too. Kamongo is one of the two April choices of The Book-of-the-Month Club...
