As the machine rotates and produces a centrifugal force up to 650 times gravity, the corpuscles settle out of the blood. Replacement fluid flows into the "ocarina" chamber, dilutes the original fluid which flows off through a vent. In a first test of 15 minutes Col. Lindbergh demonstrated that only...

The new discovery extends this old-time ocean inlet even farther, taking in the entire Great Lakes region. Said Dr. Kellogg: "It's a cinch they [whales] didn't climb Niagara Falls...
