Afterwards, as though in defense of his professional reputation, Dr. Sirovich said: "Had I had any medication, such as caffein, sodium benzoate, nitroglycerine, adrenalin or oxygen, I perhaps could have helped...

...California Institute of Technology, pursuing his study of the cosmic ray, has illuminated new chapters in the celestial life of the hydrogen atom. Those infinitely tiny but infinitely active particles not only leap at each other explosively to form helium, but also by special jumps unite to form oxygen and nitrogen. The exact nature of the jump is not yet fully understood, but each different jump shoots off its own private signal, a ray of definite power...

...Bolivia and in California, showing that they come from a source so vast & remote that they strike the whole surface of the earth impartially. Theoretical calculations by Millikan out of Einstein, on the strength of the rays that would be shot forth if hydrogen atoms collided to form oxygen or nitrogen, perfectly checked the actual measurements made...

...suns and stars may not be the only scenes of activity. Helium, oxygen, nitrogen are common in the earth. Have they always existed as helium, oxygen, nitrogen; or have they been formed and are they being formed from the hydrogen which is so abundant in the soil? Is it possible that the terrific activity which goes on high overhead is taking place underfoot at the same time? It is, says Science...

...spectra of far off nebulae have long been thought by astronomers to be made by a mysterious element which they called nebulium. This idea was exploded by Professor Ira Sprague Bowen, famed physicist colleague of Dr. Millikan. He found the lines are caused by the very familiar elements oxygen and nitrogen. They seemed unfamiliar because, in the rare atmosphere around the stars these elements have room to cut complicated capers, storing up energy for some time, then jumping actively and shooting off rays. In the dense atmosphere of the earth they are always being bumped by, or bumping, other atoms...
