...nothing to do with lifting the ship, that being the work of the hydrogen gas. and is not, as is commonly supposed, a new and mysterious discovery. The same gas, known as Pintsch gas, has been used in a less pure form to light railroad cars and farmers' stoves in this country for a decade. Herman Blau of Augsburg, Germany, simply refined upon the initial work of his friend Julius Pintsch and gave his name to the product...
After several postponements the Graf Zeppelin stood ready, its 18 hydrogen bags prepared to lift 121 tons into the air for its motors to drive over the Atlantic at from 70 to 84 miles per hour...
More Matter. The physicists are creeping up on the origin of matter. Dr. Robert Andrew Millikan of the California Institute of Technology, pursuing his study of the cosmic ray, has illuminated new chapters in the celestial life of the hydrogen atom. Those infinitely tiny but infinitely active particles not only leap at each other explosively to form helium, but also by special jumps unite to form oxygen and nitrogen. The exact nature of the jump is not yet fully understood, but each different jump shoots off its own private signal, a ray of definite power...
...same rays were found in Bolivia and in California, showing that they come from a source so vast & remote that they strike the whole surface of the earth impartially. Theoretical calculations by Millikan out of Einstein, on the strength of the rays that would be shot forth if hydrogen atoms collided to form oxygen or nitrogen, perfectly checked the actual measurements made...
...suns and stars may not be the only scenes of activity. Helium, oxygen, nitrogen are common in the earth. Have they always existed as helium, oxygen, nitrogen; or have they been formed and are they being formed from the hydrogen which is so abundant in the soil? Is it possible that the terrific activity which goes on high overhead is taking place underfoot at the same time? It is, says Science...
