...trouble with this method is that the bodies dry flat, squashing down to thin, distorted films. Last week Professor (of biophysics) Robley C. Williams of the University of California told of a better method. He puts a film of collodion on a copper disk cooled with liquid air (temp. ~377-6° F.). Then he sprays his microorganisms on the cold film. They freeze solid in a flash. When he pumps the air from around them, their moisture passes directly from ice to vapor, leaving their empty husks in the exact shapes they had at the instant they were frozen...

Consequently, one of last winter's more popular theatrical wisecracks said that "Mountain Greenery" was the best song in "Allegro...
