Old Bill Misgivens, "maybe you. never
heard of Archimedes Biggerstaff. l
suppose that his parents must have
had some knowledge of Greek history

name out in full when he registered
at a hotel or when he signed a letter. |

going to astonish the world with some
invention that would make the old
original Archimedes look like brush |

One of Archimedes's hobbies was the
control of heat and cold. He said that

here was in ton of coal and he pro-

n 10 cubic feet into the space of one
cubic foot, so that one cubic foot

equal to a ton of the best coal. This
heat was to be put into
/ container which was perfect con-
luctor, so that you could store it
