With this data from the highest altitude to which he had ever sent instruments, Dr. Millikan reported last week that cosmic ray intensity increases to a maximum at 66,000 ft., then falls off 22% on the way up to 92,000 ft. This contradicts the generally accepted finding of Erich Regener of Stuttgart who sent unmanned balloons up more than 100,000 ft., found increasing cosmic Bombardment up to 85,000 ft., a fairly steady intensity above that altitude...

It runs the North American gamut from squirrels and doves up through bear and turkeys. It is written in short, efficient chapters, with a minimum of glowing reminiscence, a maximum of good hunting sense. Bob Vale has shot wild guinea fowl in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and told a bear to go scat on a Pennsylvania trout stream, but he also rephrases homely old rules like "At partridge, always crack fast"; "At rabbits, shoot low-and watch out for tularemia...
