...realism bores Parisians, German realism irritates them, Belgian Congo superrealism shocks them. Hanging in the private Gallerie Sur Realist on Mont Parnasse last week was a painting by a Congo Negro of a Congo Negro in a peculiar posture, nude except for a string of beads and a rope of silver ornaments. Parisian women, profoundly shocked, demanded that the unsightly painting be removed. Police investigated, ousted it from the public...

Except for formal ratification, Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and the National City Co. of Manhattan, who represent the reorganization committee of bondholders, own the onetime Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, a system estimated at $750,000,000. They bought it at an auction sale in Butte, Mont., last week for $140,000,000 and their promise to untangle the road's debts, no light task. For the pres-ent there will be no change among the operating executives. But the system's name has been altered to the Chicago, Milwaukee & Pacific Railroad, with "The Milwaukee" as the nickname...
...five days and five nights last summer, Dr G. Von Salis and Dr. W. Kolhoster of Switzerland sat on top of Mont Monch, which towers up to 13,465 ft. hard by the Jungfrau in the Alps. They had dug a pit twelve feet wide and 20 feet deep in the eternal ice of that summit, and lowered into it instruments extremely sensitive to radiant energy. Their procedure closely paralleled experiments conducted during 1923-25 by Dr. Robert A. Millikan of the Norman Bridge Laboratory of Physics (Pasadena, Calif.), who first buried his instruments at sea level, then flew them...
...world last year, Dr. Millikan did not hazard a guess at their source. They seemed to him to be coming at the earth in all directions. In the Swiss report of last week, however, it was stated that the greatest "penetration radiation" had been detected when the pit on Mont Monch yawned directly up at the constellations Orion, Hercules and Andromeda. This observation fitted in with a theory that the Millikan Rays are the result of atoms being disintegrated during the formation of new stars, for the constellations named all contain spiral nebulosities (embryonic stars...
