...subject that [Stubbs] prepared was a horse which was bled to death by the jugular vein. A Bar of Iron was then suspended from the ceiling . . . and the animal was suspended to the iron bar. [Stubbs] first began by dissecting the muscles of the abdomen proceeding thro five different layers ... Then he proceeded to dissect the head ... he made careful designs and wrote the explanation which usually employed him a whole day. He then took off another layer of muscles . . . and so proceeded until he came to the skeleton...
Chips from the Chisel. This is the sort of record that archaeologists love. The mound represented what for many centuries was a well-built stone city of about 10,000 inhabitants. The oldest part seems to have flourished before 2500 B.C. It had no city wall, and a layer of ashes shows that its poor defense posture may have enabled an invader to burn it. When the inhabitants built a new city, they encircled it with a substantial wall...
...body? Yes, said a panel of experts. Two clear-cut types of auto-allergy are firmly established. Both involve the eye and, although rare, can be serious enough to cause blindness. In one, injury (which may result from surgery) causes part of the uvea (the pigmentary layer of tissues in the eye) to be misplaced, and this sets up inflammation. Most remarkably, the sight-threatening reaction develops in both eyes, though only one was injured. The second type results when a fragment of lens tissue is left after an operation for cataract. For this, the eye sometimes...
...from west to east in mid-latitudes, often reaching 250 m.p.h. The turbulent region below the jet stream may begin as low as 15,000 ft., increasing in roughness as it nears the stream (which is not itself normally turbulent) at an average of about 30,000 ft. Another layer of CAT rides on top of the stream, reaching to 40,000 ft. There is normally some turbulence on both sides of the jet stream, but the north side is almost always the worst. No one knows...
...city, said Dr. Hall, might make good use right now of a monster reactor. Over Los Angeles a layer of warm air (an inversion) hangs for long periods and traps beneath it the city's notorious smog. Dr. Hall believes that a reactor, operating at comparatively low temperature but generating 100 million kilowatts of heat, could punch a hole in the inversion and clear L.A. of smog...
