...paths are slim for electrons going at high speed, broader for slower moving ones. This is a phenomenon noted in Professor Floyd Karker Richtmyer's physics laboratory at Cornell University and announced last week. One of his graduate students, Dr. P. H. Carr of Gaffney, S. C., had noted how pitted the metal targets of X-ray tubes became after long electronic bambardment,* and inferred that flicking light also left its invisible mark. To bring such marks, if existent into sight meant long trials of various reagents on such battered metals. In the end he found that mercury vapor...
Prince Bismarck. President Wilson, President Harding, "Tiger" Clemenceau, Napoleon III and Alexandre Dumas fils had only one weakness in common: prostatic hypertrophy...
Enlargement of the prostate by chronic inflammation is a common ailment of elderly men. It is probably not a tumor process. Although it makes the victims uneasy and uncomfortable, it is rarely painful. Authorities estimate that one of three males over 60, suffers from prostatic hypertrophy. Gonorrhea in early manhood is a frequent, but by no means the sole cause.* The prostate gland nestles between the male bladder and rectum. Anatomically it corresponds to the womb. Normally it has the shape of a large chestnut 1¼ to 1½ in. wide by 1 to 1¾ in. long...
...Pont, gunpowder & chemical tycoon, who attended the convention as a director of Equitable Life Assurance Society, envisioned a great collateral use for these stupendous sums. Said he: let the insurance companies each year contribute one-eighth of one cent of every dollar of their assets to an organization for research in their favorite thing: the prolongation of life. "The funds would finance the greatest organization the world has ever applied to a specific problem," observed Mr. du Pont. The funds would be $20,000,000 yearly, the equivalent of a half-billion-dollar endowment...
From the throat of Ruth M. McKinney, one of the graduate staff working for a doctor's degree, they secured the most useful cultures. It was of the polymorphous streptococcus. It "looks like a microscopic chain of unmatched beads which a child has strung together." When this germ collects into minute, smooth colonies in the blood, it causes a cold or mild influenza. When the colonies become rough, the influenza grows severe, virulent. With the specific cause of influenza thus recognized, an intelligent way of treatment and a vaccine for prevention lies in purview...
