...year, in a standard work on eclipses, "coronium" was treated with respect. The Menzel-Boyce report unmasks it as mostly oxygen in bizarre atomic metamorphoses. The normal oxygen atom has eight orbital electrons. Menzel & Boyce proceeded to imagine oxygen atoms in such a state of excitation that electrons could skip freely from one orbit to another. Such excited atoms, according to quantum theory, should have energy levels differing from each other by precise amounts. Drs. Menzel & Boyce expressed a number of these energy levels mathematically. Then (by extrapolation of the 43-year-old Rydberg method) they mathematically expressed the light...
...must be of the same level. Myself, I am a glutton for reading books, papers, magazines, nothing comes amiss. To me, but for its size, I've never come across a magazine which takes such a devil of a lot of reading, and you simply can't skip any. But what surprises me most is the circulation. A magazine the exact counterpart of yours published in London would have a circulation of three-quarters of a million in next to no time. I have always taken American newspapers with a large grain of salt and personally think ours...
...that those in power exercise control over education, that they realize their advantage, and that they will naturally refuse to disseminate the truth about themselves. It was slightly stupid of Governor Cross to advocate this hackneyed nostrum before a presumably intelligent audience. It was stupidity itself for him to skip from politics to Shakspere in his abortive attempt to say, in effect, that he did not know whether any good could come out of the old party system, and that if such knowledge were dangerous, he did not choose to know...
President Machado's private gunboat, the S. S. Juan Brunozay, was in Havana Harbor last week with steam up. Sailors were very busy about the deck. The rumor flashed through Havana that Gerardo Machado was about to skip the country. President Machado thereupon broke a silence of many months by inviting U. S. correspondents to the Presidential Palace to hear a statement. His sallow, pocked face broke into a friendly grin as he insisted that he had not the slightest intention of either resigning or running away...
...significant which this year's pudding has revealed is that there is one more feat which defys the art of any Harvard undergraduate. A Harvard man simply does not know how to wear a form-fitting dress. But he can sing, skip rope, and as is most convincingly proved, he can sometimes write music...
