Professor Duste

The second attempt to censor Superman s atomic adventures involved his even more popular newspaper comic strip. In April 1945, the Superman artist drew a futuristic "cyclotron" that was prepared to bombard the hero with three million electron volts at the speed of 1,000,000,000 per hour. "Withdraw Superman " a bystander warns. "You ll be blasted to pieces." Superman, of course, survives, and the quirky scientist Professor Duste eventually concludes that his "atom smasher" is out of order. The censors asked the McClure Syndicate to refrain from any further atomic-related stories in the newspapers, and they complied. The story line immediately cut to Superman playing all nine positions of a baseball game by himself.

In the preparation of this new edition advantage has been taken of the opportunity offered to correct a number of errors in the first edition, and to make the text a reproduction of the fourth German edition of Professor Gattermann s book. In many cases the laboratory directions have been improved, a number of new illustrations have been added, and the Special Part now includes methods for the preparation of glycol, di-methylcyclohexenone, s-xylenol, phenylhydroxylamine, nitroso-benzene, p-tolyl aldehyde (Gattermann-Koch synthesis), salicylic aldehyde (Reimer and Tiemann s oxyaldehyde synthesis), cuprous chloride, the decomposition of inactive mandelic acid into its active constituents, and a zinc dust determination. The preparations of acetylene and acetylene tetrabromide have been omitted.
