03 October 1958 - CRANE SEES THE CIVIL WAR THROUGH A YOUNG SOLDIER'S
EYES: Stephen Crane's novel 'The Red Badge of Courage' is released in
book form for the first time. Not yet born when the Civil War ended,
the young author weaves a narrative of America's great cataclysm, now
30 years gone, with such verisimilitude that critics will call him a
master of Realism.

08 November 1895 - GREAT LEAP FORWARD IN MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS: German
physics professor Wilhelm Rontgen stumbled on X-rays while experimenting
with Lenard tubes and Crookes tubes and began studying them. He wrote
an initial report "on a new kind of ray: A preliminary communication"
and on December 28, 1895, submitted it to Würzburgos Physical-Medical
Society journal. This was the first paper written on X-rays. Rontgen
referred to the radiation as "X", to indicate that it was an unknown
type of radiation. Some early texts refer to them as Chi-rays having interpreted "X" as the uppercase Greek letter Chi, Χ.[citation needed]
The name X-rays stuck, although (over Rontgenos great objections) many
of his colleagues suggested calling them Rontgen rays. They are still
referred to as such in many languages, including German, Hungarian,
Ukrainian, Danish, Polish, Bulgarian, Swedish, Finnish, Estonian,
Slovenian, Turkish, Russian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Japanese, Dutch,
Georgian, Hebrew, and Norwegian. Rontgen received the first Nobel
Prize in Physics for his discovery.

Title: Movie Glass
Categories: Candies
Yield: 1 Servings

1/2 c Water
1 3/4 c White sugar
1 tb Light corn syrup

Boil the water and stir in the sugar and syrup.
Let it reach a hard boil. Boil six minutes. This
will be extremely hot; over 300-|F - and very
dangerous to get on your skin.

Carefully pour it onto a clean plate. Let cool
for an hour and it will pop out of the plate.

This is break-away glass, like they use to smash over
people's heads in the movies. It is also hard candy.
