THE IMPOSSIBLE YELLOW THING IT was too bad that nobody actually saw what happened to the new army X−ship on its test flight. It happened that there were clouds that night, and anyway, the impossible thing occurred twenty thousand feet in the air. So all the information they got was what the pilot told them over the radio. And, of course, no one could hardly believe that. It was too incredible. However, there was no denying plane and pilot vanished. Also, there were the photographs which the pilot took and droppedthe picture that actually showed the thing that had grabbed the plane, incredible as it was. The army wasn’t fooling that night. There had been a congressional investigation, and it had resulted in the boot being taken to certain high staff officers until, as one old−timer put it, the seats of their pants rang like bells. THE YELLOW CLOUD 1 THE YELLOW CLOUD The investigation had brought out the simple and undeniable fact that the armythe United States armywas about as well−prepared as a man with a musket. The army, the soldiers of the Stars and Stripes, might make an impressive sight when stood in a rowif nobody noticed that they stood in about the same equipment as in 1918. Every European soldier had a submachine gun, even the, Chinese had sub−gun companies, but the American doughboy, the boy in khakiwhat did he have? He had a rifle¡918 style. His commanding general also possibly had a polo pony, listed in the records as a cavalry mount. It had peeled hides, had that congressional investigation. It had wanted to know why there were only half a dozen or so antiaircraft guns available to protect New York City, although there were plenty of soldiers riding around on horses, the way King Arthur rode around in the fifth century. England had multi−barreled anti−aircraft guns capable of firing several thousand shells a minuteand England had almost as many of those guns as the U.S.A. had soldiers. America wasn’t going to fight England, of course, in fact, it looked as if she was figuring on England to protect her. Or figuring on somebody. It certainly didn’t appear that she was thinking much about protecting herself. Army, you better do something, was the word. Europe was full of men who were trying to be Napoleon. There were even some in South America. The only thing that impressed these burglars was the fact that you wore a pistol. So the army wasn’t fooling. For once, actually, it wasn’t. It had even fired its publicity men, the boys who could take two crack−pot tanks produced by a nut inventor, and send out enough pictures and ballyhoo baloney that some of the U. S. A. really thought it had a mechanized army. Army wasn’t fooling, and it was testing the new X−ship, the new X−ship being a plane that was actually the kind of plane they had been saying the previous ones were. It was a supership which could outfight and outfly by fifty per cent the best plane of any other army in the world, and this was no press−agent slop. To test−fly the X−ship, the army had called upon the greatest engineer in the army reservea man who was probably also the second greatest engineer in the world. Colonel John Renwick was this engineerRenny Renwick, the man with the fists, and the I’m−on−my−way−to−a−funeral face. The man who was associated with Doc Savage. THE stage had been nicely set for a devil of a mystery, only nobody knew that as yet. The X−ship was so good that the army really wanted to keep its performance a secret; so precautions had been taken. The test was being held from a deserted sand−dune island on the North Carolina coast, and the one bridge leading to the island was watched; while a motorboat floated around and around the island loaded with army officers dressed like local fishermen. It was to be a night hop. THE YELLOW CLOUD 2 THE YELLOW CLOUD The new X−ship was there, sitting on the hard sand beach, a creation of camouflaged metal that looked as stocky as a bulldog and as vicious as a yellow hornet. The snouts of nine machine guns poked out of various streamlined ports, her innards were full of racks for bombs, and there was a high−powered aërial camera and a gigantic photo−flash contraption, so that the plane could take a night picture of many square miles of enemy territory. Everything was ready except Test Pilot Colonel John Renny Renwick. He hadn’t shown up. Around about stood generals and majors and lieutenants and sergeants. No small amount of interest centered on the army’s new electrical "listener" for locating airplanes flying high. Four of these stood on the sand. The gadgets were very efficientbut most every other army in the world had them as efficient. The idea of tonight’s test was: The new X−ship had a silenced motor, a special propeller, and it was hoped it could fly so silently at an altitude of twenty thousand feet that no electrical listener could spot it. This night’s test would tell. The army radio men had their outfits set up, too. A bang−up, new two−way radio telephone was part of the equipment of the X−ship, and they were going to test that. The men at the electrical "listeners" gave a start "Sir, there’s a plane coming," one reported. The plane came down with a brisk whistle of wind past wings, stuck out two whiskers of light from its wing floodlights, and came to rest on the beach. The occupantsthree menalighted. "Colonel Renwick!" someone said. Colonel Renny Renwick had a voice that sounded something like the roof of a mine coming down must sound to a miner. "Holy cow!" he said. "Sorry if we’re a little late. I wanted to pick up two friends of mine." "Two friends?" "Sure." "To witness testing of the X−ship, you mean?" "Yep." The army officers looked at each other and must have said mentally, "Oh, damn, what’ll we do about this?" The test of the X−ship was supposed to be very, very secret, and not for outsiders to see. "Weahthat is" "Sure, I know." Renny Renwick rumbled. "But it will be all right for these two guys to watch. They’re in the army, too. They’re Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Blodgett Mayfair and Brigadier General Theodore Marley THE YELLOW CLOUD 3 THE YELLOW CLOUD Brooks." "Oh!" "Yes," Renny said. "The two are Monk Mayfair and Ham Brooks." That made it different. Very different. "Did Monk bring his pig?" an officer asked. That got a burst of laughter. "And did Ham fetch his chimpanzee?" inquired a second officer. This caused another laugh. The army officer was referring to Habeas

Hon. JOHN F. HYLAN, Mayor of The City of New York. Sir-111 compliance with the provisions of the Charter, I send you herewith the re;)ort of the work undertake11 and accotnplished :tl this department for the year 1919. I have the honor to remain, Very truly yours, JOHIG N. HARMAN, Commissioner. Prospect Park Plaza--Showing Community Christmas Tree With Soldiers' and Sailors' Arch in Background. ' INTRODUCTION EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS. The Brooklyn parks kept pace with the remarkable growth of the Bor- ough and up-to-date requirements during the year, and added largely to their general attractiveness. The department made many material improve- ments and also provision for future extensive developments in securing authorized expenditure of nearly $500,000 for long-needed paving improve- ments. Another ilnprovement was substitution of motor trucks for old horse- drawn trucks. By this substitution thousands of dollars eventually will be saved to the City. The proper upkeep of structures and other extensive properties has brought salutary results. Many random toe-paths of -trespassers through - lawns have been removed, trees and shrubbery exltensively pruned and a large program of new tree and shrub planting carried out. Nearly all structures have been thoroughly repaired, rolling stdck and tools overhauled and made serviceable, sufficient supplies kept on hand, lawns, walks, roads and buildings well cleaned and kept in orderly conditipn ; the wrecked Dream- land Pier and old steamboat dock removed.

  • Semantic Audio Analysis Utilities and Applications
    Semantic Audio Analysis Utilities and Applications PhD Thesis Gyorgy¨ Fazekas Centre for Digital Music School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, Queen Mary University of London April 2012 I certify that this thesis, and the research to which it refers, are the product of my own work, and that any ideas or quotations from the work of other people, published or otherwise, are fully acknowledged in accordance with the standard referencing practices of the discipline. I acknowledge the helpful guidance and support of my supervisor, Professor Mark Sandler. Abstract Extraction, representation, organisation and application of metadata about audio recordings are in the concern of semantic audio analysis. Our broad interpretation, aligned with re- cent developments in the field, includes methodological aspects of semantic audio, such as those related to information management, knowledge representation and applications of the extracted information. In particular, we look at how Semantic Web technologies may be used to enhance information management practices in two audio related areas: music informatics and music production. In the first area, we are concerned with music information retrieval (MIR) and related research. We examine how structured data may be used to support reproducibility and provenance of extracted information, and aim to support multi-modality and context adap- tation in the analysis. In creative music production, our goals can be summarised as follows: O↵-the-shelf sound editors do not hold appropriately structured information about the edited material, thus human-computer interaction is inefficient. We believe that recent developments in sound analysis and music understanding are capable of bringing about significant improve- ments in the music production workflow.

  • Ainu Ethnobiology
    Williams Ainu Ethnobiology In the last 20 years there has been an increasing focus on study of Ainu culture in Japan, the United States, and in Europe. is has resulted in a number of major exhibitions and publications such as “Ainu, Spirit of a Northern People” published in 1999 by the Ainu Ethnobiology Smithsonian and the University of Washington Press. While such e orts have greatly enhanced our general knowledge of the Ainu, they did not allow for a full understanding of the way in which the Ainu regarded and used plants and animals in their daily life. is study aims at expanding our knowledge of ethnobiology as a central component of Ainu culture. It is based in large part on an analysis of the work of Ainu, Japanese, and Western researchers working in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. Ainu Ethnobiology Dai Williams was born in Lincoln, England in 1941. He received a BA in Geography and Anthropology from Oxford University in 1964 and a MA in Landscape Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania in 1969. He spent the majority of his career in city and regional planning. His cultural research began through museum involvement in the San Francisco Bay Area. Based in Kyoto from 1989, he began research on the production and use of textiles in 19th century rural Japan. His research on the Ainu began in 1997 but primarily took place in Hokkaido between 2005 and 2009. Fieldwork focused on several areas of Hokkaido, like the Saru River Basin and the Shiretoko Peninsula, which the Ainu once occupied.
