Your article about Science Fiction magazines brings to mind a little-considered result of the now famous Orson Welles Martian-menace-hoax broadcast of last fall. Many of the Science Fiction pulps now on sale owe their success to the publicity given the Martians at that time. Martians, you know, are very essential to Science Fiction...
...practically foolproof way to commit one. When Frank Ross (James Cagney), a fresh reporter, presses too close to the racketeers running his home town, the boys slug him, douse him with whiskey, prop him behind the steering wheel of a car and head it toward a crowded intersection. The result starts Jimmy off on a long term for manslaughter and gives Fellow Prisoner Hood Stacey (George Raft) his opportunity to meet "the first really square guy I've ever known." It also touches off the most authentic and exciting prison picture since The Big House...
...receives the bolt, discharges it harmlessly through its coils. In these coils the lightning sets up a varying magnetic field in which the fulchronograph wheel spins. Each iron fin of the fulchronograph is magnetized according to the intensity of the field at the moment it passes through, and the result is an intensity chart of the lightning bolt every 40 microseconds (millionths of a second...
...General Electric researchers, who for years have studied lightning bolts striking Manhattan's Empire State Building, showed more interest last week in hydrogen-cooling for generators at the powerhouse. Since hydrogen is the lightest of all gases, it circulates with much less friction than air. As a result of cooling generators by hydrogen rather than air, the power output per pound of fuel is increased by 20%, and the fuel saving on a 200,000-kilowatt unit tots up to $20,000 a year. There is no fire or explosion hazard, because oil seals keep the hydrogen purity...
Last week, Wall Street noted that power production for the week ending July 1 was 14% ahead of last year and slightly ahead of 1937, added this to Bond & Share-New Deal good-will and the chances of more SEC-holding company deals. Result: the Dow-Jones average of 15 utility stocks rose for eleven consecutive days, making the second quarter of 1939 look like a straight line advance for at least this group...
