...excitation that electrons could skip freely from one orbit to another. Such excited atoms, according to quantum theory, should have energy levels differing from each other by precise amounts. Drs. Menzel & Boyce expressed a number of these energy levels mathematically. Then (by extrapolation of the 43-year-old Rydberg method) they mathematically expressed the light-wave frequencies represented by the five mysterious spectrum lines. Last, they brought the two sets of mathematical expressions together. In three cases the correspondence was close enough to remind them of keys fitting into locks, to enable them to say that most of "coronium...
...negatives; from there, the embryo fliers will advance to the interpretation of photographs taken from the air. To an inexperienced observer, aerial photographs are either wholly or partly unintelligible; so to correct this condition, Captain Dache M. Reeves, also of the Air Corps, will demonstrate and explain the method of correctly interpreting the pictures. The mathematical side, involving the computation of scales and altitudes, will be presented by Captain Bruce C. Hill, who is of the Engineering Corps, while First Lieutenant James F. Phillips, another Engineer, will instruct the men in practical application in the laboratory...
...Roosevelt message was cordial, but burned no bridges: "Since the beginning of my Administration I have contemplated the desirability of an effort to end the present abnormal relations between . . . the U. S. . . . and Russia. It is most regrettable that these great peoples . . . should now be without a practicable method of communicating directly with each other. The difficulties that have created this anomalous situation are serious but not, in my opinion, insoluble. . . . I should be glad to receive any representatives you may designate to explore with me personally all questions outstanding between our countries. Participation in such a discussion would...
...took it from the Roman Catholics. Wrote Presbyterian Eells: "It gives the impression of affectation. ........It is contrary to devotional custom. . . . It is ant-Scriptural. . . . Christ never used it, the Apostles never used it, and the New Testament Church never used it, . . . God has abundantly answered the Biblical method of prayer. Is there any evidence that He prefers the recent innovation?" The Oxford and Webster dictionaries give preference to "ay-men," Webster stipulating that when sung it should be "ah." Stemming from the Hebrew through Greek, Latin, French and Old English, "amen" means "truly" or "verily"; "Be it so really...
...constant relationship to price changes. It is a perfect theory and in a financial Utopia would work excellently. But since governments are not immune from politics and manipulation, especially abroad, where central banks and governments are in intimate contact every day, the chances of a practical and sound method of maintaining a unit of value by the commodity standard are remote...
