...strongly heated" where the sun enters it vertically. From that point winds of heat-expanded air blow out in all directions, carrying tides of dense ionization, like a jet of water pouring over a round ball. But the Earth-ball is also rotating. Where the expanding waves go in the direction of rotation the wave-front is smooth; where they go against it they are like whitecaps in a tide...

...short wave station, equipped with a beam antenna which allows the broadcasting of radio waves in a straight line, has been constructed on the roof of the Physics Building by Harry R.

With a wavelength of five meters and an antenna which can be raised or deflected on a horizontal axis as well as turned from side to side, it is the only station of its kind in the country. It began operation two weeks ago. Its purpose is purely experimental, and at present, it is carrying on communication with the short wave stations...

It gets its foreign news from France's Havas, Britain's Central News. Proudly Transradio declares that the U. S. Press, for all its bitterness, has never openly accused it of lifting news out of domestic newspapers.
