...oxygen tanks were brought in, the stream of visitors continued. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson called. So did Mr. Justice Sutherland. President Roosevelt kept in touch by telephone. Chief Justice Hughes called, and Mr. Justice Brandeis. Finally when his life could be sustained only by constant oxygen, admittance was denied to every visitor but one. This week, as Mr. Justice Holmes's 94th year was drawing to an end, physicians announced that that Last Visitor was at his door...
Operation of this theoretical submarine depends on a fact familiar to high-school chemistry students-that water separates into its component gases when an electric current is passed through it, hydrogen collecting on the negative pole, oxygen on the positive. While under way on the surface the submarine's engines burn a mixture of oil and hydrogen, have enough reserve power to drive an electric generator. This generator furnishes current to an electrolyzer which turns water into hydrogen and oxygen under pressure. The excess hydrogen and all the oxygen are stored in steel tanks...

Like many another explosive, nitramon contains ammonium nitrate. It also contains a stable carbon compound (formula secret) which only reluctantly releases its carbon to combine with the nitrate's oxygen. Once detonated, however, nitramon explodes with 40% more force than TNT. It costs less than some grades of dynamite. The company claims that it is impervious to cold, works under water, should make quarry blasting and coal vein stripping completely safe up to the moment of "shooting." Politically timely was the assurance that nitramon's value is strictly limited to peacetime...
...prevent ventricular fibrillation and sure death, Drs. Nahum and Hoff advise elimination of poisons, physical disturbances and excitements; use of barbiturates or other drugs which reduce the heart's activity; administration of oxygen. In extremity, a surgeon might cut the nerves which cause the adrenal glands to excrete their exciting adrenalin. But drugstores now carry acetylcholine, the vagus hormone, with which a desperate doctor can often quiet ventricular fibrillation, set the heart pulsating smoothly again...
