Since sound waves travel more slowly in thin air than at normal atmospheric pressure, propellers in the substratosphere have a lower effective top speed than at sea level. Last week scientists attending the Fifth International Congress for Applied Mechanics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggested a way to improve propeller performance in the substratosphere: bigger propellers, designed to take bigger bites...

The normal dog rapidly excreted the urea of the nephrectomized dog. Ten experiments were reported. In practically all cases the kidney-lender made a rapid recovery.
