Last week Drs. Newcomb Kinney Chancy, Victor Carl Hamister and Stanley Warren Glass of National Carbon Co. recapitulated their recent experiments and reports for the Electrochemical Society convened in New Orleans.

The Cleveland chemists showed conclusively that the carbon does not liquefy but sublimes directly from a solid to a vapor as dry ice does. The sublimation point is a fundamental constant of the element and represents the maximum arc temperature. Determining this constant within narrow limits provides, according...

Others: the fatally successful altitude flight of a French airman; a bullfight seen through a German painter's eyes; an aging poet catches his death of cold in trying to show off before a hen-brained girl...
