...chain of fortresses ever constructed since the world began. In the next nine months alone the new Ministry of Defense will spend $600,000,000, according to budget estimates published last week. Secret, France's defense program is nevertheless known to consist of a series of fortresses, largely subterranean, strung like pearls along almost her entire land frontier from the English Channel to the Mediterranean. Subways connect large key forts with smaller posts so that men and munitions may be rushed from fort to fort beneath the poppies of a smiling countryside...
...latest addition to the length of Harvard's subterranean passages, a tunneled walk connecting Randolph Hall and Westerly Court with the central unit of Adams House, has finally been completed and was opened for use last Saturday. As a result of this final boring, the swimming pool in Westerly may be reached from either Randolph, or from the central unit of the House, where the dining and common rooms are located. At present the construction of the new building of Adams House is rising toward completion on the site of the former Russell Hall...
...water higher up in the hole. A moment arrives when steam pressure is enough to lift all the water out of the hole. At that moment practically all the pent water suddenly changes to steam. The geyser spouts, subsides, until the critical steam pressure is again built up by subterranean heat...
Among the special facilities for research offered by the new building are two subterranean research rooms, insulated for the study of X-rays. There will be several rooms in which a constant temperature will be maintained. One of which is to be devoted to the culture of crystals. The physics library now in Jefferson Laboratory will be moved to the new building, together with the collection in Craft Laboratory. Tutorial books will, however, remain in Jefferson, which is to be made over during the summer into classrooms, conference rooms, and elementary laboratories. The 100,000 volt storage battery...
...plane of equable temperature within the earth Man re-established himself, tunneling thousands of miles, gradually building his subterranean cities. Working hours were continuous, but no one's shift was long. A rigid socialism did away with even the need of money. Industrial sections, the huge synthetic food-producing plants, were centralized, far removed from residential and play centres. Travel was practically instantaneous: in cars "magnetically levitated through vacuum tunnels." No animal food was eaten. The life span was prolonged to the limits of usefulness-then the worn-out person was "removed." Population was static, births controlled, hygiene enforced...
