...living storage vats of the honey-cask tribe. There is some marvelous stop-motion cinematography. Roots grow like wild white worms before the watcher's eyes. Gourds bulge, flowers bloom, tomatoes blush. Best of all are the scenes of underwater life. The archer fish, with fearful accuracy, spits liquid arrows several feet into the air, and bags a butterfly for dinner. The angler fish, looking like nothing but a clump of seaweed, sprouts a fishing pole from its nose, and dangles a tempting piece of built-in bait before a passing mullet. Conclusion: mullet into gullet like a bullet...

This is because unsaturated fats (corn, cottonseed and peanut oils and some olive oils) are usually liquid at room temperature, so they are messier than the solid saturated fats (lard, suet, butter). As a result, manufacturers of shortening usually hydrogenate their unsaturated fats-by adding a couple of hydrogen atoms under heat and pressure. This turns part of the unsaturated fats into saturated fats, which look better, smell...

It has none of the expensive valves, pumps, turbines, etc., that cram the innards of liquid-propellant rockets. Its propulsive mechanism is nothing but two strong-walled "bottles" tightly filled with a slow-burning explosive. When the first bottle fires, the rocket reaches the speed of 1,900 m.p.h. in six seconds. The second bottle takes over at 40,000 ft. and boosts the speed to 3,800 m.p.h. Only the simplest...
...location, Freeport will have to erect a drilling platform 60 ft. above the water. Using a method it pioneered, Freeport will pump superheated (330°) salt water down to the rock-imbedded sulphur, melting the mineral and forcing it toward the surface, from where thermos barges will haul the liquid sulphur 25 miles to Port Sulphur...
