DEVELOPS RAY RECEIVER FOR SIGNALING WITH INVISIBLE RAYS
A rugged, simple signaling device with which a mere Army private could communicate on invisible rays, a possible mechanism for detecting the presence of enemy ships off a fog-bound coast, and a highly sensitive apparatus for use in atomic research are among the potentialities of a new receiver of radiation invented by Dr. Hammond Vinton Hayes, veteran electrical scientist of Boston, who was formerly chief engineer of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company.

Dr. Hayes, made cautious by a lifetime of experimental research, makes none of these claims for his new invention with the exception of the possibility of the signaling. But the implications of the discovery are clear.

I’m Too Sexy for My Master’s Thesis is a sentiment that most academic bloggers can relate to, I’m sure; but Rachel’s thesis topic sounds pretty sexy too, on the British Army’s Jewish Legion in the First World War. It’s very much a research blog, which is good to see. Cas Stavert of Only Two Rs is writing a novel set in the First World War, and also reading lots of early twentieth century British novels—which I’m finding very educational! (Via Great War Fiction.) Finally, Modern Mechanix extracts weird and wonderful articles and advertisements from old science magazines. Sadly they are all American, not British, but there is still much of interest to me. For example, check out this Italian gas mask for typists, or these early German and American radar devices. (Via Boing Boing.) air-minded, adj.
