...times a journalist can be less interesting than a politician. One suspects an industrious correspondent of poring over back newspaper files and making a conscientious if uninspired summary. At times he is distressingly literal and like Mr. Washburn submits frequent homilies on the humbler virtues. He does not vapor, however, about the broodings of Fate. Some extracts...
...beta or gamma) are deflected by electric or magnetic fields, and produce ionization of gases through which they pass, i.e., electrons are dislocated from their atoms, and the resulting particles, called ions, become carriers of electrical currents. These gaseous ions may also become nuclei for the condensation of water vapor, just as dust particles help to form clouds and precipitate rain. It is, of course, possible that Venus affects terrestrial weather directly by magnetic or electrostatic influences. But it is more likely that it interferes with the solar radiations on their way to the earth. The sun is constantly bombarding...
...interesting fact that helium airships using gasoline fuel become lighter and lighter, owing to the loss of water vapor from the combustion of the gasoline. To keep the ship down, helium has to be released to bring the weight nearer to that of air. This has made long flights costly and impracticable. But a method of condensing and retaining the water vapor has been devised which keeps the weight uniform and saves the helium...
