A Boy-Powered Submarine
By DEE ENGEL
Many of the towns lying along the Platte River are close to sand pits — depressions made when sand is dredged. These fill up with clear water and the sandy sloping bottoms make these various pools ideal for swimming and other water sports. Don Webb lives in Kearney, Nebraska, and of course there is an abundance of these miniature lakes close by; so Don built a sub which is manned by a couple of boys. And to say that they have a lot of fun with it is putting it mildly.

New Electron Tube “Sees” the Invisible
AN artificial eye, which extends the range of human vision into the dark areas of “ultra-violet” and “infra-red,” is now available for scientific use, and will undoubtedly be turned to many purposes of everyday life in the next few years.
It has been possible, for years, to take photographs by the aid of radiation which is invisible to the eye, and to develop them in a few minutes. Read the rest of this entry »
Tesla was a genius, but he was an engineer, not a scientist.
Faster Than Light!
By HUGO GERNSBACK
IT may come as a shock, to most students of science, to learn that there are still in the world some scientists who believe that there are speeds greater than that of light.
Since the advent of Einstein, most scientists and physicists have taken it for granted that speeds greater than 186,300 miles per second are impossible in the universe. Indeed, one of the principal tenets of the relativity theory is that the mass of a body increases with its speed, and would become infinite at the velocity of light. Hence, a greater velocity is impossible. Read the rest of this entry »

Outfitting Explorers for High-Priced Adventure
by KENNETH COLLINS
Modern explorers striking out into uncharted regions must be equipped for every emergency. Here a veteran explorer tells how these preparations are made at great costs.
BEFORE an explorer strikes out on his hazardous journey into some remote and uncharted region of the world, he is confronted with the prodigious task of laying in a stock of supplies and equipment that may range from airplanes to can openers.
“How does the explorer go about making such provisions for his expedition?” you may wonder. “Where does he begin? How can he determine what supplies he will need and in what quantities he will need them? What precautions must he take? And, finally, where does he purchase his unique equipment?”

If he can smell her bad breath on the love letters she writes him, then I suppose this would make sense. Otherwise, stop dating dicks.
I’d have loved to see the brainstorming session for this:
“See, it’s a toothpaste ad, so we need a good postal joke.”
“It stamps out bad breath!”
“I never want to lett’er open’er mouth!”
“I keep waiting, but no one ever delivers my male!”
“Bill and I are going to envELOPE!”
“I’m tired of express males, all I really want is an overnight delivery.”
Also, I keep seeing “Guess my male has gone ashtray!”

I’ve always wondered if the MoviePhone guy ever uses his own service and if it freaks him out.
She Tells Herself the Time
LONDON now has a time-telling telephone service, obtained by dialing T-I-M on the automatic exchanges. A natural-sounding voice gives the time— but it is, as a matter of fact, a phonographic reproduction. It has been recorded on a glass disc, in the same manner as sound tracks are put on moving-picture films, and similarly reproduced electrically in any telephone circuit connected in. The phone thus functions as does a theatre loud speaker, when connected in the projector’s amplifier circuit.
Multiple Screens for Super-Movies
THE present method of representing simultaneous scenes on a motion-picture screen, in succession, may be supplanted by one in which details will appear on one screen, and the main body of the action on another, at the same time, according to a recent patent which contemplates the making and projecting of several films at once.
