Except for this Elephant sally, the Deacons had the upper hand the whole game. But the Eliot line held up to the last few minutes of the game. Then Kirkland made a desperate drive, and reached pay dirt with seven seconds left to play. The place kick failed...

...Europe's heavy industries-close to the sources of coal and iron. Europe's major coal field lies roughly in a great arc. Using Oslo as a centre it is possible to describe that arc with a compass.

With microscopes using visible or ultraviolet light, magnifications of a sort up to 5,000 diameters have been obtained, but the really useful upper limit has hovered around 2,000 diameters.

Light is a train of waves; to pick some tiny body out of the unseen, the waves must find it big enough to get hold of. If the body is much smaller than the wave length, it will slip through like a mosquito through a fishing net. Electron beams are also wave trains...

There is no sustained plot to occupy the men, only sporadic incidents such as a battering storm at sea, a drunken rumpus in a West Indian port with a bevy of native...
