Amundsen. While their airship Norge gathered her strength at Leningrad for the hop from Europe to Spitzbergen, Explorers Amundsen and Ellsworth disembarked from their steamer in ice-choked Kings Bay and set about unloading a cargo of hydrogen gas, food, and other materials. A mooring mast was standing, and a hangar going up, to receive the Norge, which was expected very shortly with her crew of 16 men and one terrier-mascot...
Amundsen -Ellsworth -Nobile. While her Norwegian and American commanders progressed in triumph to Tromso and took ship, with supplies of men, materials and hydrogen gas, to meet her at Spitzbergen, the dirigible Norge obeyed the commands of her Italian chief, Colonel Nobile, hurrying over Europe by day and night. Her landing at Pulham Field, England, was accomplished after much maneuvering. Various supercargoes were discharged and she left, the evening after arriving, for Oslo. Grey morning found her feeling her way along the Danish coast. Soon after noon she dipped to the royal palace at Oslo, to Explorer Amundsen...
...Hydrogen atoms, tiny little things composed of one positive particle of electricity (the proton) and one madly whirling negative particle (the electron), which goes round and round its fellow just as the earth circles the sun, have been occupying the attention of physicists and chemists at Princeton University...
Last month, Professors Hugh S. Taylor and A. L. Marshall found that by bombarding hydrogen atoms with atoms of mercury energized by light, the hydrogen became so active chemically that it would unite directly with oxygen at ordinary temperatures to form hydrogen peroxide, a substance of great industrial value (it disinfects, bleaches) hitherto difficult and costly of preparation...
Last week, Professor Karl T. Compton reported that he had put molecular hydrogen into a tungsten tube, heated it to 2,800 degrees Centigrade, thereby dissociating it into atomic hydrogen, and shot into this a current of electrons from a hot filament similar to those used in a radio tube. The energy of this current was readily reckoned in volts, and as the voltage was increased things began to happen to the hydrogen atoms it encountered. Suddenly they began to emit radiation of a definite wavelength, measurable as a single line in a light spectrum. The hydrogen atoms had been...
