Speaking of training, Paddock says the secret of physical fitness consists in leading a normal life of regular habits. He is not in favor of intense training...
...infinitesimal, a narrow path (usually straight but sometimes bent as though the atom had trespassed too close to some minute object which had repelled it) made of the same water vapor that forms the clouds. Occasionally some dizzily dashing helium atom hurtling through the hundreds of thousands of normal atomic citizens in the air crashes kerplunk into the nucleus of one of them. Only 30 such collisions occurred in all the 1,000,000 trails recorded by Professor Harkins...

...rats, Dr. H. W. Feldman '26, as National Research Fellow, has continued his studies of fertility and sterility both within the species Rattus norvegicus, and in crosses between it and Rattus rattus. Several previous investigations have found this cross invariably unsuccessful, but Dr. Feldman found that under favorable circumstances normal matings can be induced between norvegicus females and rattus males, and that hybrid embryos may be produced. For some reason, however, these embroyos die and are either resorbed or aborted before the completion of the normal gestation period. The longest continued gestation for hybrid embryes thus far observed terminated...
...cures as there are sufferers. Last week Drs. J. Frank Pearcy and Daniel B. Hayden of the University of Chicago Medical School advocated a new one, in the American Medical Association Journal. They had been working on ears and eyes in hospital and laboratory; they noticed that lowering the normal blood pressure by means of sodium nitrite decreased the dizziness and "seasick" feeling of subjects after they had been rapidly rotated. Believing that seasickness is caused by overstimulation of the labyrinth of the ear by the constant changing motion of boats, they decided to give sodium nitrite a public trial...
