A bolt jumps from a cloud to earth when the atmospheric electrical tension becomes stronger than the resistance of the air between. The air resistance depends upon its ionization, and the ionization-Professor L. N. Bogoiavlensky assumes-depends on buried radioactive rocks and the electro-conductivity of the earth above. Hence he and his assistants go about with meters to register such radio-activity and electro-conductivity...

It detects a testicular monstrosity within three weeks of the onset of the swelling. The younger the teratoma, that is, the more primitive the fetal elements, the stronger is the hormone reaction. "Adult" tumors give weak reactions because their contents are bits of fully formed body parts...
