Jap Train Will Do 450 mph (They Say!)
PROFESSOR Hisanojo Ozawa of Japan has designed a radically new type of train that he claims will do 450 mph, whizzing by jet propulsion between upper and lower rollers. Recently he tested a model, which did a modest 25 mph but functioned perfectly as a mechanically guided missile. A problem: how do you get around curves? Professor Ozawa has the answer: curve lines of no less than 2.48 miles radius. •
Snowshoes, Jelly Beans and Rat Bait Cheese
YOU can buy anything from a buggy whip to a bustle at the Old Country Store, South Sudbury, Mass. Wilfred Allen, originator and proprietor of the old-time emporium, has it packed to the rafters with relics that would have made your great great grandpa do a jig of joy. Modern items are also sold because Allen has to balance the budget, but it is the antique furnishings that give his shop its unique charm and flavor of days gone by.
Thomas Foster’s School By Mail
By Alfred Lief
COAL mine accidents in the 1880′s prompted a Pennsylvania editor, Thomas Jefferson Foster, to crusade for safety laws. In his paper he ran question -and-answer columns for miners which proved so popular he later compiled them into a free handbook. But it seemed to him that the message he had to tell should be conveyed to his readers in a more systematic way. Read the rest of this entry »

Diminutive “Super-Ear” for Deaf
A HIGHLY sensitive detector of sound known as the “Super-ear,” a device which operates on a new and unique principle, has recently been put on the market for the relief of deafness. The “Super-ear,” one method of the use of which is shown in the photo at the left, is adaptable for use in any position. It can even be concealed in the palm of the hand, and attracts little attention. It operates by compressing the received vibrations of sound into a series of successively smaller chambers, thus securing greater intensity.

DOWN GOES PICCARD!
Yea, he’ll go down four miles BUT… will he come back up?
THE African sun slants its dawn rays across the Gulf of Guinea. From the deck of a ship a huge crane swings out over the water. Slowly it descends and with scarcely a ripple deposits the amazing thing on the ocean’s face.
Inside the Thing a little man with wide metal-rimmed glasses orders crisply: “Cut the ropes,” and the world’s strangest submarine, its only contact severed, begins it’s descent into the world of endless night in the ocean’s depths. Read the rest of this entry »
Photo Wallpaper
THROW out that wallpaper! Away with plaster! Your home may now have magnificent new walls—walls covered seemingly with rare and beautiful materials such as hare-wood, woven rattan, marble, even snakeskin—all practically indistinguishable from the real thing.The Di-Noc Company of Cleveland makes it possible. Using a record-sized camera they take color shots of the material to be reproduced, etch the exposures so obtained on copper plates, and use the plates for printing by the gravure process on an extremely thin paperbacked film. Film with backing is transferred in large areas to any flat surface and the backing stripped away.
Wow.

Gas Replaces The Noose
FOLLOWING the lead set by Nevada, Arizona and Colorado in the quick and painless method of executing criminals by gas, Wyoming has installed a lethal gas chamber to replace the noose, a now fast disappearing method of capital punishment. The Wyoming death chamber, manufactured by a Denver, Colorado, firm, is claimed to be the most humane yet devised. Several other states are said to be considering the adoption of gas chambers for legal executions.
