...great Stavisky case last week. Fortnight ago Inspector Bony discovered the missing stubs for the checks with which Swindler Stavisky is supposed to have bribed his way to power. Last week in the municipal pawnshop of Orleans he discovered the missing jewels. After Stavisky's death no trace of them could be found. Inspector Bony discovered a bright-eyed pretty little mannikin who led him straight to the Orleans pawnshop and a cardboard box containing gems valued at $78,000 which Stavisky was in the habit of putting up from time to time for rush loans. During the week...
...believed that there are several types of cosmic ray particles, in addition to the high speed electrons, which enter our atmosphere from space. Millikan holds that photons, which also enter our atmosphere from without but unlike the electrons leave no trace of their passage, collide with the nuclei of inolecules in the air and cause a certain amount of disintegration of those nuclei. A shower would then be produced similar to those of the high speed electrons...
...True, the Bible mentions a Queen of Sheba who was supposed to have ruled over the Sabaeans, a tribe which lived in central Arabia in the small section of inhabitable land which there is in the country.

Mention of the Queen of Sheba herself has never been found and may never be found. She may be entirely a fictitious character...
...degenerated into scurrilous and personal appraisements of, and assaults on, officials. A conspicuous recent instance is by a writer who dared not sign his name. . . . With a little less than libel, a trifle more than backstairs gossip, this writer in whose veins there must flow something more than a trace of rodent blood, exalts some who are weak and throws mud at some who are strong. . . . All this is published by a dying newspaper, recently purchased at auction by an Old Dealer-a cold-blooded reactionary-who was one of the principal guides along the road to the disaster...
Such questions as these the Weather Bureau has been trying to answer over since its inception. As yet it has met with little success. George II. Noyes '97, senior meteorologist of the Boston office of the United States Weather Bureau, can trace the path of a storm with surprising accuracy but is forced to confess ignorance when asked why this winter has been so unusually severe. However, it is interesting to delve into the history of an individual storm such as the blizzard which has plagued Bostonians yesterday and today...
