Thoughts like this occur not only to aeronauts, engineers, travelers. The current issue of the Scientific Monthly shows that this particular thought, "around the world in a daylight day," occurred to Dr. Charles H. T. Townsend, a U. S. entomologist stationed at Itaquaquecetuba, Estado de Sao Paulo, Brazil, during his studies of a muscoid fly called Cephenemyia, the world's fastest aeronaut. Much like a bumblebee in size, color and form, Cephenemyia begins life as a larval parasite in the nasal passages or other head cavities of deer, cattle and other ruminants. To find suitable host animals and catch...
...continuum of events,' says Einstein, 'exists as a background for phenomena, and when happenings occur in any region whatsoever the events are there ready to give forth their testimony'--but all to no avail if there are no minds there ready to receive the testimony and add it to the individual continuum...
BITTERN POINT?Virginia Macfadyen-A. & C. Boni ($2). We have but two fitful glimpses of the piratical, tongueless Turk of these pages. Both occur in a swamper's hut in the 18th Century Carolinas. We infer that he is shy a finger on his strangling hand, that his dagger has a permanent wave and that his ministrations upon the persons of five young women derive from Jack the Ripper. We infer, that is all. Yet that is ample to earn this Turk several graduate and honorary degrees in murdery. From the barest hints he becomes a lurking presence whose actuality...
Brazil will naturally be blamed for this chauvinistic attitude, but as long as the League continues to be a world congress rather than a European one such conflicts of interest are likely to occur. Since the gradations in rank among nations are gradual and often controversial, drawing a line between the great powers and minor becomes extremely difficult. Consequently the practice of awarding permanent seats in the council is a dangerous one. A remedy for this situation has been offered by Vis-count Ishii, President of the Assembly, who suggests that hereafter all conciliar places be elective...
...foundations are is a pretty bad state," Mr. Stanley Hartley of the American Society of Engineers, who has recently examined the Lampoon Building, told a CRIMSON reporter last night. "The caissons on which the foundations were set, have settled, so that serious damage would undoubtedly occur to the building unless elaborate reconstruetions were undertaken. The Lampoon editors, however, feel that the cost of such alterations would be prohibitive." Mr. Hartley expressed his concern at the possibility of the entire building, which he calls "the most attractive in Cambridge", being doomed to destruction...
