...enthusiastic du Pont Co. immediately christened their product Duprene, ordered a plant built at Deepwater, N. J. to manufacture rt commercially. Since it needs only acetylene, salt and water, it will not be expensive to make. Duprene looks like natural rubber, shows the same molecular makeup in xray, but is denser, more resistant to water absorption, to attacks by ozone, oxygen and other chemicals, to swelling by gasoline & kerosene. It is vulcanized by heat alone, without sulphur. At high temperatures it hardens slowly. Its powers of resistance are expected to give it many commercial uses now denied to rubber...
Professor Williams has made an intensive study of atomic reactions in high voltage insulations, and has done much to reconcile the theory of molecular reactions as advanced by physical-chemists with the practical application of dialectrics for high voltage as practiced by electrical engineers. He studied abroad for several years under Professor Debye, eminent Geman exponent of the Dipole theory of reactions. Recently the General Electric has employed him in research work along this line...
...just what constitutes a Democrat. Five Democratic members of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee disapproved Appointee McNinch's Democracy, voted against recommending his confirmation to the Senate. North Carolina's two Senators and its Senator-elect Josiah W. Bailey went through a characteristic series of molecular reunions and dissolutions on the question. Senator-elect Bailey, a regular Democrat, bitterly opposed the appointment before the Committee: "When the President gives a Democratic appointment to a man who has supported him the conclusion is that the President is using a Democratic appointment to reward a supporter of himself." But Senator...
...used a newly developed 50,000-volt tube which makes it possible to take moving X-ray pictures. The tube acts as a powerful microscope. Rays hit the substance which Dr. Clark wished to photograph, were bent back to a fluorescent screen. When the screen was photographed the molecular changes in the substance were apparent...
...arts as well, will still be the province of males, who will relax in foxhunting and horse-racing, sports which the Earl, with true British acumen, finds will continue. War unfortunately will persist, but in a more humane form, conducted largely by amphibian tanks, perhaps radio-controlled. If the molecular engine is devised, airplanes will supersede all other vehicles, decentralizing all activities, including industry?and here the Earl makes several bows to Henry Ford. The last essay wanders a bit, forecasting an exact psychology that will sweep falsehood and pretense from the earth, leaving little that is so interesting...
