...causing plants and animals to produce offspring without proper parentage. Tadpoles have been coaxed out of unfertilized frogs' eggs; live, healthy rabbits have been born after a conception which took place m a_ glass vessel; cell fragments of sea urchin eggs-fragments not even containing the female nucleus-have been fertilized with hypertonic sea water. Reported last week was a new fraud on Nature: the fertilization of holly and other plants with a chemical instead of natural pollen...

"Now, perhaps," concluded the professor, "Colonel Moore-Brabazon will give me a logical statement of British foreign policy in the last ten years, which has puzzled me as ;much as the nuclear mechanics of the last ten years has puzzled...
...Europe may be looked upon as a nucleus composed of individual protons, not, however, all of the same size or power, mixed up with a few neutrons of no charge and little mass. This is kept together by a strong force which prevents them flying apart, known as geography. This nucleus is not symmetrical as, included on its western edge, is a particularly powerful proton (Britain) that has 'wave characteristics' of a definite type peculiar to itself. In the south there is what might be called a neutrino (Italy). This has, some think, also wave mechanic aspirations...

Nor did its seven detective stories seem destined to be the nucleus of a permanent collection. The fiction, which looked weak in comparison with the biography and works of history, included Gone With the Wind and Of Time and the River, but it also numbered such minor works of doubtful durability as Fannie Hurst's We Are Ten and Robert Nathan's Enchanted Voyage.
