THREE MILLION POUNDS PRESSURE. —Dr. Roy W. Goranson, of the staff of the Carnegie Institution in Washington, is shown with his newlydevised “cascade bomb,” a device with which he was able to produce the greatest pressure ever achieved on earth, approximately 3,000,000 pounds per square inch. Dr. Goranson’s achievement is considered of great importance because it gives a clue to conditions as they obtain at the core of the earth, and because it opens up a whole new field on the study of the qualities of substances under extreme pressure.
