Pressure Explosions
nperiLResearc Men

MOUNT PLEASANT, Iowa, June
8.-P-Pressure OF $4,000 pounds
a square inch has been forced into
a steel tube having glass windows
by Prof. Thomas G. Poulter. head
Of the Iowa Wesleyan university
physics department.
This is more than nine times the
pressure previously obtained with
glass window apparatus. although
all steel tube apparatus has regis
tered higher.
The value Of windows Is to note
as they take place, the unusual
changes in these high pressure ex-
periments, which arc one of the
latest modes Of scientific explora-
ton.
For one thing. glass windows re-
veal color changes. In all cases.
Professor Poulter says, the color
shifts somewhat in the direction Of
the violet end Of the spectrum.
This means that the reflected rays
Of light from the substance
squeezed become shorter.
This work on color changing un-
der pressure first was reported by
Or. p. w. Bridgman Of Harvard
and Or. q. r. Wick. Or. Poulter's
apparatus has carried IL further.
