...been the Mohawk-Hudson power interest that has brought the Morgan Company most of its publicity as a utility factor. Mohawk-Hudson was organized jointly by United Gas Improvement and General Electric. It functions throughout northeastern New York, with Albany its southern centre. In June (TIME, June 24) two other New York state utilities merged with Mohawk-Hudson, extended the Mohawk-Hudson territory west to Buffalo and northeast along the St. Lawrence. The merged company was christened Niagara-Hudson. New York's Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt is said to be dubious concerning the legality of this merger, although...
...higher than it had closed the night before. Union-Commerce Corp. varied 39 points during the day's trading. Other banks' stocks danced, jumped, oscillated.

Para-Hydrogen. Dr. K. F. Bonhoeffer, 30, timid, blond lecturer in chemistry at the Friedrich-Wilhelms University, Berlin,† demonstrated that there are two kinds of hydrogen molecules. Around a glass tube filled with charcoal he poured liquid hydrogen which cooled the charcoal to almost absolute zero. Then through the frozen charcoal he pumped ordinary hydrogen which, as it poured out of the tube, passed over a wire heated to incandescence. A small mirror reflected a beam of light on a screen. As the treated hydrogen struck the glowing wire it interfered with the light and caused the mirror beam...
Practically all the chemists who witnessed the experiment believed that Dr. Bonhoeffer had split the hydrogen atom. Newspapers so reported the event. That was ridiculous. The hydrogen atom, simplest of the 92 elements, has a single proton at its centre and a single electron swinging around that centre. The two may be particles or they may be waves. (The experiment tended to prove that they were waves.) But they are indivisible. To break them up would wipe them out of existence. However, the hydrogen molecule is composed of two hydrogen atoms. Chemists and physicists have believed that both electrons revolve...
