...billion, all those electrons would weigh just about one ounce avoirdupois. And yet one of those almost weightless electrons, a negative charge of electricity, as it shoots from the cathode of an X-ray tube or from the filament of a radio tube engraves its path on metal...
...electrons going at high speed, broader for slower moving ones. This is a phenomenon noted in Professor Floyd Karker Richtmyer's physics laboratory at Cornell University and announced last week. One of his graduate students, Dr. P. H. Carr of Gaffney, S. C., had noted how pitted the metal targets of X-ray tubes became after long electronic bambardment,* and inferred that flicking light also left its invisible mark. To bring such marks, if existent into sight meant long trials of various reagents on such battered metals. In the end he found that mercury vapor "developed" electronic engravings...
...tube the cathode shoots a stream of electrons at a hard metal target. The electrons heat up a spot of the metal so that it gives off invisible light rays, the X-rays...
...exhibition is comprised of jars, plates, vases and so forth on the pottery line. There will be scarfs, shawls, and samples of many types of weaving done by private concerns in England and Japan. Lacquer, metal, and textile work are also to be seen. It is understood that the articles are to be for sale...
...city planners must use architectural physic and surgery. Obstacles will be man's persistent following of the least resistance line, his respect for the past. As the straight line is best for the ideal city, the curved line being too rococco and impractical in an age of metal construction, the city of the future must be planned rectangularly. His projected city has a concentrated business district in the centre of vast areas of suburban residence zones. In the morning the workers pass by rapid transit to large "vomitories" or stations whence they are whisked by subways to the basements...
