...foreign schools. At the conclusion of this, an opportunity will be furnished for the members of the association to inspect some of the interesting features of the new research Laboratory, such as the 100,000 volt storage battery, Professor Lyman's ultra-violet vacuum spectograph, Professor Duane's X-ray spectograph, and Professor Bridgman's high pressure apparatus...
...protons of an alpha particle seemed to cling to the nucleus of a beryllium atom (thereby theoretically transmuting that atom of beryllium into an atom of carbon). The particle's other two protons and the two electrons seemed changed into what Professor Bothe considered an artificial gamma ray, which like a light ray is an electromagnetic phenomenon...
...indicated that the average atomic weight of the isotopes of tellurium is (new observation) 127.47 instead of 127.5. Dr. Bainbridge is proud that his machine cost him only $2,000 to build. President Compton of M. I. T. announced the immediate construction of a 15,000,000-volt x-ray tube and equipment to operate it. Building a tube strong enough to carry that tremendous energy is no great feat. General Electric's Dr. William David Coolidge built one for 900,000 volts. It is now being used to treat cancer in Manhattan's Memorial Hospital. Then there...
...Castillian face sharpened by the neat goatee and the craggy nose. And there are too, the imperious, mocking eyes. Over this brilliant figure is thrown the red robe of the most enduring and majestic institution that the world has even seen. It is a convass that stands like a ray of sunlight among the darker imperial shadows of Winterhalter and the more obsequious court painters...
...Venzke run his first races when he was a 16-year-old Reading millworker and later trained him at the Hill School track, foresaw his exploits this year. In the Millrose games last month, Venzke broke the indoor record (4:12), jointly held by Paavo Nurmi and Joie Ray, by four-fifths of a second. A week later, at the New York Athletic Club meet, he ran the fastest indoor mile in history-4:10. The outdoor record is 4:091/5, held by Jules Ladoumegue of France, who would certainly have run against Venzke in the Olympics...
