Last month, curious Chicagoans saw this dream monster in broad daylight. Fathered by the Armour Institute of Technology, of which Dr. Poulter is a scientific director, whelped by the Pullman works and christened Penguin I, it bumbled through the streets on a test run, got stuck under a viaduct. Extricated, it waddled off two days later for Boston at a speed of 10 m.p.h., sometimes less, paused to nose a truck in Columbia City, Ind., slithered off the highway into Mrs. Cleo Watkin's cow pasture near Gomer, Ohio, and came to rest with its nose in a drainage...

A few days later, when her finger swelled, her husband & colleague, Anatomist Eliot Round Clark, probed out the sliver of glass. To their amazement, the Clarks saw tiny blood vessels sprouting inside the tube. Because they were scientists, that gave them an idea. They got three rabbits, slit the delicate skin of their ears over a dime-sized area, sandwiched the ears between oval glass windows, long as an egg. Then, because they were scientists, they proceeded to annoy...
