Shows the afllnity that different oils have for water and shows how the photo-cell is based upon the principle of the simple radiometer. A small model is shown being driven by three photocells. Because of the different topics considered in this film, it is not suitable for definite classroom instruction. However, it is an excellent subject for science news reels, educational programs and science club programs No. 2 illustrates the impractical though very interesting magnetic gears. It also shows practical application of the use of the photoelectric cell in the photo-sorter. Details of the construction of electric light bulbs are shown No. 3 "presents 2 stories dealing with magnetism: One one the effect of strong magnets on weak magnets, and the electron theory of magnetism; the other, the effect of cold and heat on the Curie metal used in control devices with alnico magnets. Well organized and presented." California No. 4 demonstrates the "electric eye" or phototube. Shows how the phototube controls drinking fountains, registers, "camera finishes" at race tracks, operates doors of office buildings, etc. Also explains how the phototube makes sound movies possible No. 5 "illustrates the odd phenomena produced in the modern science laboratory. High lights deal with liquid air, magnetic thickness gages, and the cathode-ray oscillograph." California No. 6 shows "scientific experiments in the making of forced glass springs'. The making of sodium electric lamps and their use as indirect lighting for public highways." Tennessee SCIENCE AND SUPERSTITION.
