Last week a corporation devised a different method of patent-distribution by inviting its entire industry to benefit in its patent process. The corporation i, Standard of New Jersey, Rockefeller jewel; the process is the manufacture of gasoline by hydrogenation (the combination of hydrogen with carbon to form the gasoline hydro carbon). The process is jointly owned by Standard of New Jersey and the I. G". Farbenindustrie, commonly known as the German Dye Trust. Standard and I. G. Farbenindustrie have planned to organize a subsidiary company which will pay them a royalty for the U. S. rights to the process...
Many and potent are the stories of the "Caterpillars." In 1919, the blimp Wingfoot Express flew over Chicago on a good-will tour of inspection. Directly over the business section, one of her motors backfired, flames licked open the hydrogen-filled bag. In an instant, the peaceful scene changed to a holocaust. Four of the five passengers jumped with parachutes. The fifth, his harness tangled, fumbled and fumbled with it as the white-hot wreckage carried him to death. The flames ignited the parachute of one of the jumpers. He dropped straight to destruction. The other three landed. One died...
...Montreal Light Aeroplane Club held a pretty air pageant to entertain the twoscore national air tour planes from the U. S. St. Hubert's has Canada's unique mooring mast, to accommodate the British dirigible R-100 if she crosses the Atlantic next May as planned. A hydrogen manufacturing plant stood nearly completed last week. New roads were being built from the airport to the city. Montreal hopes to get the U. S. national air races for 1931. The place's great pride is not its wireless and lights, but its hard-surface runways, its comfortable hangars...
...weight of a cubic centimeter of water, and four other items. From observation he has figured very closely the velocity of light, the drag of gravity, absolute zero (459.4 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit) and six others. By deduction there are seven derived constants, like the mass of the hydrogen atom, or of the electron. Then there are six experimental constants, and four conventional...
Practically all the chemists who witnessed the experiment believed that Dr. Bonhoeffer had split the hydrogen atom. Newspapers so reported the event. That was ridiculous. The hydrogen atom, simplest of the 92 elements, has a single proton at its centre and a single electron swinging around that centre. The two may be particles or they may be waves. (The experiment tended to prove that they were waves.) But they are indivisible. To break them up would wipe them out of existence. However, the hydrogen molecule is composed of two hydrogen atoms. Chemists and physicists have believed that both electrons revolve...
