...cells. Further research disclosed two agglutinogens, A and B. A person's red cells might contain A or B, or both (AB) or neither (O). Thus, according to their blood, there are four kinds of people in the world-A, B, AB, and 0. Every father and mother transmit definite blood factors to their child. Thus the offspring of parents with O and O blood can have only 0 blood and not A, B or AB blood. The child of 0 and A parents might have either 0 or A blood but not B or AB blood...
...type" (show-ring points) and pedigree. High milk production is an inherited capacity which cannot be told by looking at the creature. Nevertheless breeders buy cows which have "long thin tails with a good switch," buff noses, incurving horns, in the belief that such dams will infallibly transmit their milk-producing ability to their calves. To sire their herds they buy champion bulls which have convinced judges on some 25 show-ring points. The result is that unbiased experts no longer claim that cows registered, in herd books produce more milk than unregistered animals, that wise breeders sometimes pay more...
...transverse shear waves are the crux of an unsettled controversy about the nature of Earth's core.

Others are equally sure the core refuses to transmit shear waves, is hence molten-at a pressure of 15,000,000 Ib. per sq. in., a temperature of 50,000 degrees...
...service, designed by American Telephone & Telegraph, is what the world has long known as Telephoto. But A. T. & T., which developed Telephoto at a cost of $2,800,000 only to junk it for lack of patronage, has applied to Wirephoto a new technique* whereby it can transmit a picture so perfectly that the result is almost as good as the original. And instead of eight scattered Telephoto stations, often far from the news, Wirephoto has 24 to start with, any of which can send and receive pictures with all others...
Last week International and Acme were giving Wirephoto as hot a race as they could by airplane delivery, watching it with an eye to joining in a competitive wire operation if necessary. Hearst was reported to be experimenting with an invention to transmit not photographs but engraved cuts, all ready for printing...
