...peculiar aspect of yesterday's phenomenon was that it apparently radiated from overhead, and according to observers, centered directly above the CRIMSON building. Observatory authorities declined to comment...
...only 1,000° C., lowest of any star known. Around the main body of the star is a shell of gas electrified by light from Epsilon Aurigae, in the same way that the electrified shell or "radio mirror" around earth is maintained by radiation from the sun. This phenomenon has never before been observed in a stellar atmosphere. Actually, Epsilon Aurigae's monstrous, almost transparent companion has not yet been seen or photographed. It was deduced from spectrographic observations made on Epsilon Aurigae. Its size, constitution and temperature were determined after it passed in front of Epsilon Aurigae...
...have left the country. In some cases in battle areas where there are wounded to care for, the missionaries remain at the colleges and universities, hospitals and medical missions where for years they and their predecessors Christianized and educated the best class of Chinese, nurturing the indigenous Chinese Christian phenomenon of the New Life Movement of the Chiang Kai-sheks. In the New York Times last week, details in a lengthy airmailed dispatch by F. Tillman Durdin on the fall of Nanking (TIME, Dec. 27) revealed something of the fortitude currently displayed in China by these...
Injury by heat, X-rays or mechanical means also caused the hormones to be released, and they were obtained not only from yeast cells but from liver, kidney, embryo and other tissues. Dr. Sperti therefore decided that he had come upon a general phenomenon associated with cell injury. Since one effect of the hormone was to multiply cells rapidly, it seemed possible that unknown hormones of the same type might be the cause of the unhealthy cell proliferation which constitutes cancer. But since the fluid from radiated yeast brought about normal, not abnormal cell proliferation, the prospect arose of using...
There are 6,315 bituminous coal mines in the U. S. and last year they produced 430,000,000 tons of soft coal. On each of these tons producers lost an average of 11?. This state of affairs in the $3,500,000,000 coal industry was no 1936 phenomenon; save for a brief respite under NRA it has been the normal condition of coal since 1923. After NRA came the Guffey Coal Act (also found unconstitutional) and finally last spring the Guffey-Vinson Act creating a seven-man National Bituminous Coal Commission. This body, with powers much like those...
