...from them, much of the structure of theoretical chemistry has been built up. But water is actually most mysterious, should be studied, said Dean James Kennell of New York University. He reminded his audience that in a world where the active constituent of the atmosphere was hydrogen instead of oxygen, fires would be extinguished, not by throwing on water, but by some hydrocarbon such as gasoline...
...note with interest your article concerning Dr. Cunningham's oxygen treatment and the opinion of Director Cramp of the American Medical Association [TIME, July 4]. Having been a patient of Dr. Cunning ham's two years ago it fairly makes me boil to read the statement of Dr. Cramp...
...theory is that certain forms of diabetes, pernicious anemia and cancer are caused by germs that can grow only in the "absence of free oxygen. The corollary of this theory is that if the body tissues are made to absorb and carry enough air, the oxygen will prevent such germs developing. So Dr. Cunningham puts his patients into shut rooms where air pressure of 10 to 50 pounds a square inch more than ordinary is maintained and keeps them there for from a few hours to a month. Some patients merely spend their nights in the tank treatment rooms; others...
...Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn., one E. L. Gaylor, student in physiology, breathed pure oxygen as hard as he could for six minutes, saturating his lungs with the gas. One last big lungful he then held, for 14 min., 2 sec.-long enough for a police-man to walk one mile. The previous breath-holding record is reported to have been approximately ten minutes, at the University of California, in 1916. Were Breather Gaylor to attempt living in an atmosphere surcharged with pure oxygen he would soon become drowsy, lose appetite, weight, and finding real difficulty in breathing, he would turn...
...Zero; up where the air is so thin that one's body feels as puffy as a cloud?sat Capt. Hawthorne C. Gray in the basket of a free balloon. Except for the glass of his goggles he was covered with fur and leather. A machine pumped electrically-warmed oxygen into his lungs. His instruments, he' said, indicated an altitude of 41,000 feet (almost eight miles). This was higher than any man had ever been,* either by free balloon or airplane. The previous record for a free balloon was 35,433 feet; for an airplane, 40,820 feet (TIME...
