Directions for a paper game. Cut out the Halley’s Comet figures and small red circles, mount on cardboard, and play with two to four players. Players toss circles to earn moves, advance the comet along the orbit from Start toward Finish, with detours for Earth and Mars circuits as indicated, following yellow spaces. The first to Finish wins.
The Halley’s comet story traces its 75 year orbit from its first noted sighting in 240 B C to Halley’s own 1682 discovery and his 1759 prediction. It will cross Earth’s orbit March 31 and reach its closest approach May 18 19, visible to the naked eye in spring.
Cocky, a lemon crested cockatoo possibly the world’s oldest traced bird, resides at a Sydney area inn near Tom Ugly’s Point. Once owned 80 years by Captain George Ellis, he now dazzles visitors with a long beak, talkative chatter, and tales of Lord Northcote and Sir Harry Rawson among past guests.
A steel billet is immersed in a bath of molten copper at high temperature until the surface layer partially dissolves and blends with the copper coating. The process aims for a durable copper steel composite.
The outer portion of the steel billet is impregnated to form an alloy film of copper and iron. After withdrawal the surface bears the alloy film, then a mould step coats the assembly with pure copper. The final copper layer welds to the alloyed surface, uniting the metals to endure abrupt temperature changes and mechanical stress.
Experiments using cement for wine storage tanks show unlined concrete walls absorb wine aromas as acids decompose the cement. Acid-proof coatings fail, but a lining of small glass squares set in cement mortar resists acids and preserves bouquet. Tanks range from 530 to 66 000 gallons and suit cottonseed storage too.
