Tears are constantly secreted by glands which get their water from the blood and lie just above the outer curve of each eyeball. Tears float slowly over the eyeballs and drain into the nose and throat through two holes at the inner corner of each eye. Ordinarily this flow & drainage of tears is imperceptible, and serves simply to keep the eyeballs clean and slippery. But dirt or stinging stuff in the eyes makes those glandular reservoirs suddenly empty in a protective local reflex. The excess causes weeping, sniffling and gulping, for hard crying produces more tears than the tear ducts...
...combat the forces of conformity one can rely only on oneself. To escape the claims of the outer world one must first have come to terms with the problems of his own inner life. The courage and fortitude necessary to maintain even a slight degree of independence are not to be found in the hearts of those of little faith.

Nevertheless eclipses offer such fine opportunities to scientists to study the composition and behavior of the sun's outer envelope and to photograph the magnificent flare of the corona, that expeditions were waiting for the shadow at both these meagre vantage points.

...simple apparatus for vacuum distillation includes a cylinder set squarely within another cylinder like an arm in a sleeve. A heating device keeps the inner cylinder warm. The outer cylinder remains at room temperature or may be cooled. A vacuum pump exhausts air from the space between the two cylinders. When the vacuum has been created, the liquid to be distilled flows down over the surface of the warm inner cylinder. As the liquid flows, molecules of vitamin A or D or other light substances pop off, jump the inter-cylinder gap, condense on the inner wall of the bigger...
