...awaited confirmation of a report from California, that an oil well in Madera County was yielding nearly pure helium. Scientists were skeptical for two reasons: 1) Exhaustive tests had convinced them that California gases are not helium-bearing. 2) When tested for lift, "helium" often turns out to be nitrogen or carbon dioxide...
...Declared they: "It is probably safe to say that it is more widely distributed in Nature than any known physiologically potent substance." Data so far accumulated indicates that pantothenic acid's molecule is composed of long chains of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, that it contains no sulphur or nitrogen. The stuff is potent. A speck of Professor Williams' latest pantothenic acid, extracted from liver, speeds the growth of yeast in 250 gal. of liquid...
...sampled and studied the lungs and blood of scores of fresh-killed blue whales. He has reported his findings to Nature. Since whales are air-breathing mammals, Scientist Laurie expected to find, in the blood of whales fresh-killed and captured after diving deep, large quantities of dissolved nitrogen, forced into the blood by submarine pressure. Such was not the case. In most samples there was even less nitrogen than is soluble in whale's blood at atmospheric pressure. Peering through his microscope, Scientist Laurie discovered why. He found that whale blood teems with tiny free-swimming organisms...
...full of years and distinction. Dr. James Franck, 51, was a professor at Gottingen University. He won his Prize in 1925, for experimental physics. Professor Fritz Haber, 64, was director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physical & Electrical Chemistry in Berlin. He invented the important synthesis of atmospheric nitrogen and hydrogen into ammonia which supplied Germany with explosives and fertilizers during the War. Like Nobel Laureate Albert Einstein, Laureates Haber and Franck resigned their German jobs to avoid Adolf Hitler's white pogrom...
...anticipate skeptics, Professor Lipman last week noted that he found enough organic nitrogen in his meteoric specimens to sustain the life of a few bacteria: that bacteria can endure intense cold; that the heat generated by a meteorite passing through the Earth's atmosphere is not enough to kill sealed-in bacteria because the passage occurs so quickly that the interior of the meteorite is relatively cool though the outside is white...
