Stopped Cold Above Mars
The recent solar activity has claimed a far-off victim: a radiation meter aboard the Mars Argo

The meter, which had worked well in the two years that Argo has been orbiting Mars, was used

trying in the coming weeks.

The “History of Costume”or “Zur Geschichte der Kostume”was printed from 1861 to 1880 in Munich by the publishing
firm of Braun and Schneider. It was originally published as individual plates in a German magazine titled “Munchener
Bilderbogen.” Later, these plates were collected and bound into book form. The total publication consisted of 125
10
pages, with four color illustrations per page, for a total of 500 costume designs. These plates show historical dress from
antiquity to the end of the 19th century.
This book is an excellent source for students who are studying the history of fashion, and for costume designers. One
must be aware though, that these illustrations have a Victorian perspective to their designs. The last 35 pages show
contemporary folk dress (c.1880) from most European, Asian, and African countries. These provide a source for
researching plays that take place during the Victorian period, such as “The King and I” or “The Sea Gull.” The original
book was published in German, so at times, the English translation is confusing. This is especially noticeable in the
contemporary folk dress plates where many of the countries mentioned now have different names or no longer exist.
If you wish to obtain additional information on the original book, Denver Publications has an excellent reproduction of
the printing entitled “Historic Costume in Pictures” by Braun and Schneider.
173. According to the review, how was the “History of
Costume” first published?
(a) In book form
(b) As individual plates in a German magazine
(c) As part of a research paper
(d) As a series of framed prints.
174. Which of the following is said to be included in the
book?
(a) 19th century photographs
(b) 500 pictures of costumes
(c) Original sewing patterns
(d) Nearly 2,000 pages of text
175. What does the review state is a problem with the
book?
(a) It is poorly translated.
(b) It is not historically accurate.

(c) The City of Stockholm
(d) Gredler Energy Systems.
178. How much hydrogen will the new station produce
each day?
(a) 40kg
(b) 120kg
(c) 350bar
(d) 5,000psi

Dear Dr. Murphy,
Thank you very much for agreeing to make a third meal available to my son Brian while he is enrolled in Fairview’s
after-school band program. I do have one concern, though, about the food being offered after school. The choices do
not seem to have any relation to recognized medical studies about such things as excessive fat, sugar, and useless
junk food.
Brian informs me that in recent days his after-school menu has included fried fish with fried potato nuggets, a hot dog
with potato chips, and fried chicken with French fried potatoes. The most healthful piece of food offered to Brian in the
past week seemed to be a small piece of green pepper floating on a sea of cheese on a pizza.
I do not feed my son this sort of food at home, and I don’t think it’s appropriate for a school to serve. Your regular lunch
fare usually-includes a salad and a cooked vegetable. Is there any reason why these couldn’t be offered as part of the
after-school meal, as well? I would very much like to talk to the school dietician or whoever has designed the after-
school menu about the school’s third meal food offerings.
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Karen Diamond
