...valuable stamp in the world. Should some one find, on an old letter, a big stamp with an octagon marked within its four corners, and a square inside the octagon, and in the square a schooner, full-rigged, with "British" in the sky above it and "Guiana" in the sea beneath, then the value of Mr. Hind's stamp would be lessened, for collectors would know that there were two such stamps in the world...
...feet deep in the eternal ice of that summit, and lowered into it instruments extremely sensitive to radiant energy. Their procedure closely paralleled experiments conducted during 1923-25 by Dr. Robert A. Millikan of the Norman Bridge Laboratory of Physics (Pasadena, Calif.), who first buried his instruments at sea level, then flew them far aloft by kites, finally lowering them to a considerable depth in the pure waters of a high-altitude lake.* And their conclusions, announced last week, paralleled Dr. Millikan's: bombarding the earth from the surrounding universe are some hitherto unknown rays, of submicroscopic wavelength, which...

This tyranny will end with the appearance of the college graduate who has concentrated in cooking. The Greek or French cook will come out of the kitchen; gone will be the cry of "black and tan" or the hoarse shout of "sea-goings". In their stead, American language, as spoken in our best colleges, will be heard in restaurants. Culture will take the place of anarchy; America will succeed in the kitchen just as it has succeeded elsewhere; foreign competition will stand no show beside the learned and cultured American college cook. The higher education will have gained another victory...
