...HEAT LIGHTNING - Helen Hull - Coward-McCann...
...right smart unhandy to be po'," and live in a mountain cabin on $575 a year, with a woman and six children to keep-and maybe be neighborly and take in a half-dozen extra ones when their parents die. In the three-room cabin there is no heat but from the fireplace, no window, no plumbing. The hill woman is much in childbirth. After six or eight children she may die.

...burn is caused by dry heat of 140° F. or more, a scald by moist heat of 120° F. or more. Their injuries to flesh are identical...
This unique research will start on the elastic and other properties of rocks. For example, how do rocks under great pressure conduct heat? This is something fundamental in the study of earth transformations. To prosecute the study Professor Bridgman has some remarkably powerful little machines. They consist essentially of thick, steel-jacketed cylinders carefully cast and precisely machined. The hydraulic pressure which oil puts against pistons in the cylinders is presumably less than the pressure upon things deep within the earth. Yet the man-made pressure changes the nature of elements. Thirty-nine of 48 pure metals which Professor Bridgman...
