LIQUID AIR.
A Successful Experiment That verified
One Made Some Years Before.

A Successful Experiment That Verified
One Made Some Years Before.
The boiling points of oxygen and
nitrogen arc respectively 37S.S and
S5G degrees F. below the freezing
point of water, and therefore these
are the highest temperatures at
which they can be seen as liquids,
The most remarkable liquefaction
which has yet been accomplished,
however, is that of air. The two
gases of which it is almost entirely
composed are oxygen and nitrogen,
and since these have different boil
ing points it would naturally be sup
posed-as it was supposed4-that they
would liquefyl separately, the oxy-
gen. which has the higher boiling
point, first and the nitrogen after
ward
So indubitable didr thisrreasoning
appeargthat thoughafewyears ago a
small quantity of liquid atmospheric
air was actually produced aby two
continental scientists they were told
that they must have been mistaken
and that their supposed liquid air
was not air. at all. The audience
which was SO. fortunate es to witness
Professor Dewar's remarkable exper-
iments at the Royal oinstitutionl re-
ceived ocular demonstration that the
too confident critics were wrong.
LIQUID atmospheric, air was produced
i'm considerable quantities, and some
lofn it poured into, wineglassviand
handed. around for inspection.
| ., It was at first in state of5violent
ebullition, but this soon eeasedstand
gentle and finally almost imper-
ceptible efferveseence took its place,
the liquid air being apparently in no
hurry whatever to resume its fordl-
nary gaseous condition. Thiswas not
the least striking part of a most
striking experiment, for at an ordi-
nary temperature tons of pressure to
the square inch would not have re-
tanned the air in a liquid state, yet
there it was in an open vessel and
apparently exposed to the temper
ature of the lecture room, butit was
apparently only.
All liquids when boiling absorb
heat, and liquid air is no exception
to the rule; therefore on being
poured into the glass it Immediately
absorbed all the heat it could get
from that. source, and there was no
other available save the Immediately
surrounding air, but this air was 1T
self just given off from the liquid
state and was at the ow'tempera-
: ture of the boiling point. In conse-
auence suficientheat was not forth
coming to maintain ebullition, and
the liquid air was compelled to evap
crate with comparative deliberation

IN THE HOUSE.

When the house assembled all hopes
of getting quickly to business were
shattered when Messrs. Hoerner, Jacob
son and Mcguire declined to serve on
the omnibus Doodle investigation COM
mittee of II members to look into the
charges of Mr.. Markham and others in
reference to the Wyman log scaling bill
and other measures. They insisted on
being excused but Speaker Lee refused
to grant their request.
F. M. Wilson offered aresolution that
the original committee be instructed to
go ahead and investigate Mr.. Markham
and let the numerous ''josh" amend
ments that were added to the first reso-
luton go. Mr.. Horton moved to amend
by discharging the entire committee,
but this was lost by vote of 81 to 60.
Mr.. Wilson's motion then prevailed and
the added six members were excused.
The Appropriation Bill.
The house then went into committee
of the whole with Mr.. Cotton in the
chair and resumed consideration of the
general appropriation BILL A number
of amendments were offered to section
II and it was adopted. The entire bill
as amended was then adopted and rec
commended to pass.
TIE Charter Bill.
On the charter bill being taken up,
the members did not want it read. but
an effort to suspend the rules was d.
feated, and the reading began. Imme-
diately the house was almost emptied
of members. The reading clerk evinced
disposition to skip whole pages, but
Mr.. Ives objected, and stuck to his
work of following the reading for half
an hour. Then he relented, and in
about half a minute the bill was de-
clared read first time. On motion of
Mr.. Howard the bill was read a second
time, ordered printed and placed on
general orders

THE LEGISLATURE.
IN THE SENATE.

ST. PAUL, April 15.-The senate spent
nearly all day on the general appro-
priation bill. Section 9 was under con-
sideration when the senate was called
to order and occul the entire morn
ing session. Senator Stevens moved to
insert new subdivision in section g.,
appropriating $4,000 for the use of the
forestry department in the investiga-
ton of forest fires. He advocated the
adoption of the resolution in strong
speech on the importance OF preserving
the forests. This motion created a
lengthy discussion but finally prevailed.
An appropriation of $500 was added to
correct the tablet on the Minnesota
monument at Gettysburg.
Salaries Increased.
A motion to increase the amount for
clerk hire in the governors office and
also in the auditors was made and car
ried.
An amendment appropriating $4,000
for the publication of the proceedings OF
the good roads convention was lost, as
was also a motion to appropriate $4,000
for an old soldiers memorial monument
at st, Paul.
Senator Sevatson moved to strike out
the 81, 600 appropriation for rifle range
at Lake City and Senator Little moved
to cut all appropriations 25 per cent.
Both motions were lost.
Senator Donnelly offered resolution
directing Sergaant-at-Arms Smout to
turn over Mr.. Rhodes letter book to
the attorney general, to be used as evi,
dence in the prosecution of the coal
combine. This was adopted and re-
cess to $3.50 was taken.
The Bill Passed.
At the afternoon sessi on discussion OF
the bill was continued and the Mark
ham bill cut quite figure in the de-
bate. The senators who had killed that
measure seemed determined to give the
counties that had been affected sort
of a peace offering, and these same
counties, or good many OF them, re.
fused the gratuity. After spending the
entire afternoon in wrangling over this
section, it was stricken out, and then
the bill was passed. 1t will now go tc
the house for concurrence in the amend
mentS.
