...flying them high into the sky with kites, lowering them into the snow-fed waters of mountain lakes, Physicist Millikan tracked things uncanny, elusive and unknown. In 1925 he announced his discovery: cosmic rays (Millikan rays) so powerful they could pass through three feet of steel, six feet of solid lead. These rays, bombarding the earth from all directions, come from the disintegrating atoms of embryonic stars (TIME...
...calling attention to Cantonese "insolence" wonders why the U. S. warships have not used their guns on the Nationalists before. All this flaming and rather tawdry blustering is not only shallow but dangerous as well if it is communicated to a State Department which is not particularly noted for solid good sense under the administration of Mr. Kellogg...
...more delicate, graceful design for the proposed Memorial Chapel," said Professor K. J. Conant '15, of the School of Architecture, in an interview given to the CRIMSON yesterday, "would remove much of the hostility to the scheme which seems to exist. The present plan is perhaps a little too solid and heavy. Personally, I would be, glad to see a chapel erected somewhere along the lines of Independence Hall in Philadelphia...
Secretary D. H. Killeffer of the New York section of the American Chemical Society last week helped the lay public to catch up with a notable advance in commercial refrigeration. He described the properties and uses of "dry ice," as this commercial solid carbon dioxide is called from the fact that it forms a gas instead of a liquid when it melts. U. S. manufacturers, said Secretary Killeffer, had now perfected "dry ice," a practical portable refrigerant, and brought it into wide use. For shipping ice cream it was 1500% more efficient than water ice. Between Manhattan and Philadelphia...
Credit for the perfection of "dry ice" belongs largely to Chemist Pierre E. Haynes, now with the Dry Ice Corp. of New York. General Carbonic and Liquid Carbonic are other corporations now making "safe dry," a form of "dry ice," which became a commercial product in 1925. To make solid carbon dioxide: invert a tank of liquid carbon dioxide under pressure, open the valve. The sudden lessening of the pressure causes the liquid as it squirts out to turn part cold solid, part...
