Professor Otto Stern of Carnegie Institute of Technology observed that hydrogen Drotons escaping through a small aperture become ionized, or build up a small positive electric charge, through the friction of their escape. Hydrogen burns on contact with oxygen. The presence of a slight negative charge of static electricity in the airship fabric or in the air might thus cause a spark sufficient to start the fire. Zeppelin men scouted this idea, however, pointing out that many a German airship came back from bombing London shot full of holes which caused no hydrogen fire...
...breathing exercises by which yogins claim to achieve a state of mental sublimity, Dr. Behanan says they merely dulled his wits, possibly due to a lack of oxygen in the brain. Breathing normally, handsome Dr. Behanan, 35, is famed at Yale as a first-class poker player, an ambidextrous ping-pongist hard to beat...
...money in 1936 than in any other of its 19 years of corporate existence. Net profits were $36,852,000, a 35% increase over 1935. Noting that prosperity was in Carbide's every pore, President Jesse Jay Ricks last week wrote to 55,705 stockholders: "The quantity of oxygen sold in 1936 exceeded that of any previous year. . . . More motorists bought 'Eveready Prestone' antifreeze. . . . Alloy sales to the steel industry exceeded in volume those of any previous year." Also noted with pride by President Ricks was that $20,000,000 worth of new plant construction...
...Bronchial pneumonia results from inflammation of the bronchi and bronchioles. It is less dangerous than lobar pneumonia which clogs the lobules and prevents carbon dioxide from getting out of the blood, oxygen from getting...
...certain cases of pulmonary tuberculosis develop in children. He guided a former assistant, Professor Olof Larsell of the University of Oregon, in mapping the nerves of the lungs. Despite all this, Dr. Miller humbly and urgently begins his monograph: "There remain many problems to be solved." For instance, does oxygen diffuse directly into the blood stream, or do the lungs first do something to oxygen to make it fit for the blood? How do filtrable viruses get through the respiratory system to cause diseases like measles...
