Efficiency of compressed air as cleaner for electrical machinery
The article argues that compressed air effectively cleans oil soaked copper or carbon dust from moving electrical parts without wiping. It notes the risk of grit entering the pump and causing damage, but states this can be prevented and should not deter using air blasts for cleaning.
Oxidising Metals Through Air Sprays
Inventor M Harmet proposes oxidising cast iron by forcing molten iron through a fine channel with an annular air blast forming a spray. The spray travels to a receiving chamber where the refined iron or steel is tapped.

Photographic Action of Radium Discussed at Society
The Physical Society heard Mr. Skinner report on how radium bromide affects photographic plates. Exposure increases image density, then fades with longer exposure, similar to overexposure in light photography. The beta and gamma rays are implicated, alpha rays likely absorbed by the mica, and a reversed image can occur with prior bright light exposure.
