She was of a helpless, fleshy build, with a frank, open countenance and an innocent, diffident manner. Her eyes were large and patient, and in them dwelt such a shadow of distress as only those who have looked sympathetically into the countenances of the distraught and helpless poor know anything about. （from Jennie Gerhardt）

MONTREAL-Clark Johns accomplished a spectacular debut for his NHL career tonight, the first score launching a four -point first period out burst, to lead the Johnson City High Hats to a 6:4 victory over the Montreal Teals and their eighth consecutive game without a loss.

The range of a voltmeter may be extended by means of a series resistor called a multiplier as shown in Fig.2. The full-scale reading of the meter alone may be 15volts.With the multiplier 250volts may be required to move the pointer to full-scale, 135 volts across the multiplier and 15volts across the meter.

Archimedes first discovered the principle of displacement of water by solid bodies.

The rotation of the earth on its own axis causes the change from day to night.

Television is the transmission and reception of images of moving objects by radio waves.

Attention must be paid to the working temperature of the machine.

Electrical energy can be stored in two metal plates separated by an insulating medium. Such a device is called a capacitor, or a condenser, and its ability to store electrical energy capacitance. It is measured in farads.

There are a number of methods of joining metal articles together, depending on the type of the metal and the strength of the joint which is required. Soldering gives a satisfactory joint for light artic les of steel, copper or brass, but the strength of a soldered joint is rather less than a joint which is brazed, riveted or welded. These methods of joining metal are normally adopted for strong permanent joints.

The elimination of the errors of these types is a major problem in the design of physical experiments. A few possible lines of attack on this problem are indicated below, but the devising of experiments to investigate a particular point, to the exclusion of disturbing factors, is the most exacting of experimental physicist.

The forces due to friction are called frictional forces.

A call for paper is now being issued.

In this country the only fuel available is coal.

In radiation, thermal energy is transformed into radiant energy, similar in nature to light.

The air outside pressed the side in.

The force upward equals the force downward so that the balloon stays at the level.

The results obtained must be checked.

The heat produced is equal to the electrical energy wasted.

During construction, problems often arise which require design changes.

The molecules exert forces upon each other, which depend upon the distance between them.

V ery wonderful changes in matter take place before our eyes every day to which we pay little attention.

To make an atomic bomb we have to use uranium 235, in which all the atoms are available for fission.

The area rule concept, the supercritical airfoil, and the engine installation configurations that provide favorable interference which are presently being applied to military aircraft and fuel efficient transport aircraft were evolved through wind tunnel experiments.

The solar wind grossly distorts the earth’s magnetic field, dragging it out to a long tail.

Long regarded by elementary particle physicists as a costly nuisance, synchrotron radiation is now recognized as a valuable research tool.

Using a computer, we composed a series of synthetic songs by shuffling natural syllables into different patterns. To signal the presence of a hunting hawk, the chaffinch becomes a ventril oquist, “throwing” its voice so that the hawk can not find it.

Using this reasoning, we can estimate the number of the detectable civilization in our galaxy.

Bred in the areas around the equator, this protozoan proves very inactive out of the tropical zone.
