...thing. If you are not satisfied beyond all reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty as charged, then he ought to be acquitted." Twenty-six hours later came a resounding thump on the brown wooden jury room door. The bailiff let the jurors out. The foreman unfisted a moist crumpled note, handed it to the clerk. A thin smile faded from Patterson's lips as the clerk read his third death sentence...
...part of the absorption in air is due to collisions between oxygen molecules and water vapor molecules. Dr. Knudsen's experiments with air and its two major components, oxygen and nitrogen, weigh heavily in favor of this suggestion. There was no appreciable difference in the decay rates in moist nitrogen and dry nitrogen. But the decay rate in moist air was only one-fifth the rate in moist oxygen, and oxygen is one-fifth...
...days of rain, had delayed the tournament a full week. When sturdy Helen Jacobs, whose muscles were as solid as her opponent's convictions, finally took the court against Dorothy Round, who had beaten her twice in England and even won a set from Helen Wills, the slow moist turf made a perfect surface for the slow, sly Jacobs chops.

Dr. Louis George Hermann, assistant professor of surgery, sprinkles flakes of chopped skin upon raw wounds. The skin cells take root, seedlike, in the moist raw surface, absorb nutriment, proliferate. In a short time the islands of growing skin touch each other, merge and make a sightly new skin. Dr. Hermann finds that which way the skin flakes fall does not matter. Like plant seeds they orient themselves, grow outward from their "soil...
