How Many

Its development cost 2 billion
dollars. In the construction of the
facilities which gave it birth, 125,

called for 65,001) more workers.
Yet, so well kept was the secret of
the atomic bomb that the world
gained the first clue of its exist
ence in the terrible explosion over
Hiroshima.
The A-bomb apparently remains
the best preserved secret in his
tory—altho it, of course, is impos
sible to know this with dead cer
tainty. At the same time, it has
established a position of focus for
gossip and ingenious conjecture
without compare.
The latest is the headlined sen
sation in London's Daily Express:
“Atom Secret Out—America Has
Ninety-Six.’’ The writer claims to
have authentic information that
American atomic bomb factories
l have been producing these secret
j devastators at the rate of six per
month for the past fifteen months.
The British writer describes the
bomb as a huge contraption twen
ty-five feet long and weighing
four tons. The large size is dic
tated by the exploder mechanism,
he says, describing the device as a '
long ‘gun barrel’ ’through which
one piece of plutonium is fired!
into another.
Despite the authenticity claimed
for this intelligence there is no
reason to suppose it to be more |
than the usual gossip which has!
been making headline.- since II ro- 1

CROWN JEWELS PRACTICAL
Crown jewels are “practical”
too. According to the Encyclopae
dia Britannica, part of the chain
of the Order of St. Andrew, one
of the Russian Crown jewels, con- '
tains twenty detachable pieces of
different design, each of which
may be used as a separate orna-;
ment.

MAYBE YOU'RE NOT ASLEEP
Little green men do not exist i
solely in nightmares. According to
the Encyclopaedia Britannica, the
complexions of the Punans, na
tives of Borneo, have a greenish
hue because they never expose 1
themselves to direct sunlight, but
live perpetually in the half-light!
