...great mass of peasants and secondly to his long and impeccable record as a revolutionary. At 14 he began to work intermittently in a cartridge factory at St. Petersburg, during the slack winter season on his father's farm, and was almost at once fired with the pure flame of Revolution. His success in interpreting citified Marxian doctrines to peasant friends at home was phenomenal. Soon enough, however, the Imperial Police transformed his life into a long, incessant struggle punctuated with arrests and finally with banishment to Tiflis and later Reval. Thus the President of Russia...
...last act gives a party at which there is a fire-eating magician. Also, in the last act, there is the San Francisco earthquake and fire. The plot deals with dope-peddling; Slippery Jim (Robert Bentley) is the chief dope-peddler; he leaves the racket and marries a pure, sweet girl. Wong is killed in the earthquake...
Although the "Enthronement" was now complete - insofar as Occidentals understand that idea - there would be several more days of pomp, during which the Tenno would personally inform the Sun Goddess what had occurred and offer her with filial piety the sacred rice (boiled). Finally, with hearts uplifted and pure, Emperor and Empress will participate in three joyous Grand Banquets, visit the Shrines of the Imperial Ancestors, and lastly open the national Chrysanthemum Party, gayest fête of the Japanese year...
...increase the demand. At the paternal Sugar Institute, last week, plans were on foot to assemble an army of researchers. To their official attention had been called a fact and a question. The fact : Sugar, a hydro carbon (C12H22O11) is the only organic chemical which is manufactured chemically pure on a tonnage basis. Hydrocarbons are easily broken down. Atoms of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, may be taken from them, forming new and different hydrocarbons. Possible uses of sugar are in the manufacture of shoe polish, soap, explosives, fuel, essential oils. Conceivably a vast industrial opportunity lies behind the purity of sugar...
Still another significant invention came before the Optical Society. It was a refinement of Dr. William David Coolidge's cascading cathode tube which shoots pure electrons out through a thin nickel window (TIME, Nov. 1, 1926). The new tube's window is made of pyrex glass thinner than tissue paper and permits more electrons to escape from the tube's cathode than does Dr. Coolidge's nickel window. And the new contraption is relatively cheap, available for research laboratories everywhere to experiment with the mightiest rays that man has yet learned to control. Remarkable...
