...from radium, Dr. Coolidge would need about 2,000,000 volts of electricity. To get beta rays as penetrating as those from radium, he would need 3,000,000 volts. If he could create such voltages and if he could direct them properly, he would be, according to Philosopher Henri Bergson, at the heart of the world. Dr. Coolidge has succeeded in using 900,000 volts effectively. How he worked, he described to the engineers at Manhattan last week after receiving his latest medal...
...canvases there appeared one gigantic bloom, its huge feathery petals furled into some astonishing pattern of color and shade and line. A bee, busy with a paint brush, might so have reproduced the soft, enormous caves in which his pasturage is found. One of the.insects out of Henri Fabre, some thoughtful, sensitive caterpillar who had read Freud, might have so pictured the green and perpendicular avenues of his morning's promenade.

...from Cleveland returned last week to Paris aboard the chic, sumptuous S. S. Paris of the French Line. Landing at Havre, he was welcomed by the Mayor. Stepping off his train at the Gare St. Lazare, he was embraced by the Military Governor of Paris, sleek General Henri Joseph Etienne Gouraud. French throngs jammed the station, crying "Vive L'Ambassadeur! Vive Herrick!" Not often does France welcome so tried and sterling a friend as the U. S. Ambassador, Myron Timothy Herrick, who returned, last week, after a long, treacherous illness at his home in Cleveland, to Paris, his other home...
