Herr Stinnes recently completed an oil trust, developed in the last year, based on concessions in Mexico and Argentina, wells in Mesopotamia and the Balkans, and on the Deutschen Redoil, which derives oil from brown coal by means of a German process...
...accidental falling asleep, with the phones on his head, of a student in training for a job as radio operator in the U. S. Navy led to a discovery which will vastly shorten the process of manufacturing experts in wireless telegraphy. While the code and its translation were coming through the ether, the brain cells of the sleeping man, in a state of plastic receptivity, were absorbing the meaning of the dots and dashes and forming new associations. On waking, he was able to repeat accurately everything he had received in sleep. Psychologists say that such results are feasible because...
Pavloff's name is best known to the Western world for his classic demonstration of the neurological basis of the digestive process in dogs. A normal animal, if hungry, shows increased flow of saliva and the digestive juices at the sight or smell of food. By a simple surgical operation, Pavloff brought the duct of a dog's salivary gland to the surface of the cheek and measured the flow under stimulus of food. At regular feeding times a bell was rung, and after several repetitions it was found that the sound of the bell alone, without food...
Information is beginning to leak out regarding some experiments Henry Ford has been conducting for several years in connection with a new, low-temperature process for burning and distilling bituminous coal. Preliminary tests have been made quietly in a small plant at Huntington, W. Va., and two new plants are now under construction, one at River Rouge, Michigan, adjoining the Ford plant there, and a second at Walkerville, Ontario. Until these plants have been in operation for some time, the extent to which the new process is commercially successful cannot be determined...
Previously, the distillation of coal has been undertaken mainly to produce illuminating gas and the residue of coke, and has been conducted at high temperatures. The new process, by conducting the distillation of the coal at low temperature, sacrifices about half of the maximum obtainable illuminating gas, as well as ammonium sulphate. On the other hand, the illuminating gas resulting from the new process is of a better quality, and five times the amount of motor fuel oil is obtained, in addition to benzine, pitch, creosote and innumerable coal tar products...
