In an effort to produce the largest, fastest and most luxurious ship afloat, the British built the S.S. Titanic. It was so
superior to anything else on the seas that it was dubbed “unsinkable”. So sure of this were the owners that they provided
only twenty life boats and rafts, less than one half the number needed for the two thousand two hundred and twenty
seven passengers on board. Many passengers were aboard the night it rammed an iceberg, only two days at sea and
more than halfway between England and its New York destination. Because the luxury liner was travelling so fast, it
was impossible to avoid the ghostly looking iceberg. An un-extinguished fire also contributed to the ship’s submersion.
Panic increased the number of casualties as people jumped into the icy water or fought to be among the few to board
the lifeboats. Four hours after the mishap another ship, the Carpathia, rescued the seven hundred and five survivors. The
infamous S.S. Titanic had enjoyed only two days of sailing glory on its maiden voyage in 1912 before plunging into
twelve thousand feet of water near the coast of Newfoundland, where it lies today.

In 1920, after some thirty-nine years of problems with disease, high costs, and politics, The Panama Canal was of-
ficially opened, finally linking theAtlantic and Pacific Oceans by allowing ships to pass through the fifty-mile canal zone

the trip through the canal and costs an average of fifteen thousand dollars, one tenth of what it would cost an average ship
to round the Horn. More than fifteen thousand ships pass through its locks each year. The French initiated the project but

Of the six outer planets, Mars, commonly called the Red Planet, is the closest to Earth. Mars, 4,200 miles in diam-
eter and 55 percent of the size of Earth, is 34,600,000 miles from Earth and 141,000,000 miles from the Sun. It takes this
planet along with its two moons, Phobos and Deimos, 1.88 years to circle the Sun compared to 365 days for the Earth.
For many years, Mars had been thought of as the planet with the man-made canals supposedly discovered by an Italian
astronomer, Schiaparelli, in 1877. With the United States spacecraft Viking I’s landing on Mars in 1976, the man-made
canal theory was proven to be only a myth.
The Viking I, after landing on the soil of Mars, performed many scientific experiments and took numerous pictures.
The pictures showed that the red color of the planet is due to the reddish, rocky Martian soil. No biological life was
found, though it had been speculated by many scientists. The Viking I also monitored many weather changes including
violent dust storms. Some water vapor, polar ice, and permafrost (frost below the surface) were found, indicating that
at one time there were significant quantities of water on this distant planet. Evidence collected by the spacecraft shows
some present volcanic action, though the volcanoes are believed to be dormant, if not extinct.

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally
destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two
weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contribu-
tions to humanity. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was
added in 1968, just sixty- seven years after the first awards ceremony.

60
Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards
which vary from $50,000 to $1400,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death, the awards-a gold medal, illuminated diploma, and
money-are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics play an important role in the judge’s decisions. Americans have
won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people have won two prizes,
but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.
