Once before, in 1926, Professor Keesom produced solid helium. But the quantity was only one cubic centimeter, i. e., one-sixteenth cubic inch or one-fourth of a teaspoonful. That quantity lasted for only a moment, changing into liquid helium, a colorless, mobile liquid, which Professor Keesom's predecessor at the Leyden cryogenic laboratory, Heike Kamerlingh Onnes (1853-1926), had obtained...
...standard method of reducing a gas first to a liquid, then to a solid, is to force it through a fine nozzle, thus causing it to expand and cool. Successive passages through the nozzle make the gas increasingly cold, requiring greater and greater pressure to force it through. Liquid hydrogen is used to absorb the heat from cooling helium. Professor Onnes found that helium would not liquefy until reduced to just below five degrees above Absolute Zero. He got the temperature down three more degrees, but could not solidify the helium fluid...
...Nugent '30 led off the Crimson half of the sixth with a ringing single to left, the first solid hit off Hurwitz. E. H. McGrath '31 followed with a base on balls and Harvard had its first real scoring opportunity. B. H. Ticknor '31 fanned, but Captain G. E. Donaghy '29 came through with a smack to right which scored Nugent and put McGrath on third. Coach Mitchell here inserted S. L. Batchelder '31 in place of J. A. Prior '29 who was having an off day with the willow, and the former grounded out to second base, McGrath counting...
Punch represents thousands of solid respectable British families. It is read in every quarter of the globe. It was Punch that first mourned the death of Lincoln; that published the famed cartoon, "Dropping the Pilot," when the young German Kaiser forced Bismarck to resign; that opposed the Irish Home Rulers; that grew most exercised over Mayor Thompson's (Chicago) anti-British antics...
...past four years. Six hundred miles away, a monumental mausoleum was ready to receive it, built by the Nationalist government on a hillside overlooking Nanking. Bearing it thither was an elaborate railway funeral coach, pride of the Peking-Hankow Railway, built of hand carved teakwood, fitted with solid silver doors, window frames, light fixtures, its walls draped with Nationalist red, blue, and white silk, its floors muffled with a blue silk run of double thickness. Most important of all, there was in final readiness the last bit of pavement on the Chung Shan Chi Nien-great straight memorial road, eight...
