...latest measurements of the cosmic ray (TIME, November 23, 1925) prove it to consist of definite bands of color, like the light from a Cooper-Hewitt mercury arc, but the spectral region in which the bands occur corresponds to frequencies 100,000,000 times greater than those emitted by the Cooper-Hewitt arc. Having measured the ray, Dr. Millikan sat down to figure out its importance. He turned to Einstein's theories. He found, using the Einstein equation (M C 2-E), that the most conspicuous band in the cosmic ray spectrum is probably the same band that would...
...seen tonight, it will be visible five degrees south of due west just above the horizon and during the half hour after sunset. When it becomes readily visible, photographs in different colors and a spectral analysis of it will be made by the observatory, and from these findings it is hoped that its chemical and structural composition may be determined...
...business, a mystery show in which every customary spooky manifestation is trotted on, from the waving of mysterious crimson lamps outside the windows to the usual unexplained noises made by a stagehand hitting a cracker box with a bungstarter in the hope of representing, we suppose, a spectral game of craps...
...ghost of the 1912 Wilson-Taft-Roosevelt presidential campaign-flitted last week about Washington, cast a spectral eye at the White House itself. One 1912 issue was "No Third Term for Roosevelt"; one 1928 issue may be "No Third Term for Coolidge." Last week Michael J. O'Shea of Worcester, Mass., said that in 1912 he had canvassed prominent Republicans to secure signatures to an anti-third term petition. Of the many signing, said Mr. O'Shea, one was State Senator Calvin Coolidge. Mr. O'Shea added that the signatures were made in duplicate, that one copy went to Washington...
Pallid busts of the Caesars keep a spectral watch in the great highceilinged room which Signor Mussolini calls his office. There, upright at his massive desk, he transfixed newsgatherers last week with a calm smoldering glance, answered their questions about the new Proscription Law (TIME, Nov. 15). Was it not, hinted the representatives of the press, a little persecutory to deport non-Fascist offenders to "penal islands" in the Mediterranean and Adriatic for "political and social crimes...
