...Example: splitting the light of distant nebulae in their spectroscopes, astronomers got spectrum lines which they could assign to no known element. Accordingly they created by mutual consent a new element, called it "nebulium," and doubted that it existed. Years later they found "nebulium" to "be their familiar friends oxygen and nitrogen, ionized into unfamiliar atomic states...
...neutral oxygen atom in the high solar atmosphere and under a peculiar state of excitation has been definitely found to coincide with analysis of three of the strongest coronal lines. For years "coronium" a purely hypothetical element, had been considered the cause of the radiations from the sun's corona, just as the light of nebulae was long attributed to the mythical "nebulium...
...experimenters placed oxygen in a test tube and induced a high excitation in it by electricity; they then examined the gas through a spectroscope and compared the results with the spectrum of the solar corona. Although a slight discrepancy appears in these observations, it can be readily accounted for by the inability to produce in the laboratory the exact conditions...
...derived from marsh gas, has been tried out as a new anesthetic at the Universities of Toronto and Wisconsin, with favorable results. Cyclopropane is not unpleasant to take, without harmful effects on the heart, less inflammable than other anesthetic gases, as relaxing to the patient as ether. ¶ Oxygen skillfully injected in small quantities under the skin will accomplish almost everything that inhaled oxygen does. A pint of subcutaneous oxygen has the beneficial effects of several hundred gallons of inhaled oxygen. Presuming skill on the part of the doctor, injected oxygen lessens the cost and speeds the efficacy of oxygen...
...Russian army air service, which lately sent stratonauts higher than any had flown before (TIME. Oct. 9), last week dropped a flyer farther than any man had ever dropped. The man dropped was a pilot named Victor Evceyef. Swaddled in heavy clothes with an oxygen mask over his face and a parachute over his stern, Evceyef went up with a comrade from Moscow Airdrome. Mile after mile the plane climbed, into atmosphere -34° F. At 4½ mi. Pilot Evceyef jumped. Instead of opening his 'chute, he plummeted for more than two minutes until he was only...
