LIQUID AIR.

a euccessful Experiment That Verified
One Msde Some Years Before.
The boiling points of oxygen AMI
nitrogen are respectively 375.s ant
S56 degrees F. below the freezins
point Of water, and therefore thess
are the highest temperatures a,
which they can be seen as liquids
The most remarkable liquefactior
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 supposed-that they
would iquefy separately, the oxy-
gen, which has the higher boiling
point, first and the nitrogen after.
ward.
So indubitable did this reasoning
appear that though few years ago q
small quantity Of liquid atmospheric
air was actually produced by 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 30 fortunate as to witness
Professor Dewar's remarkable exper-
iments at the Royal institution re-
ceived ocular demonstration that the
too confident critics were wrong.
Liquid atmospheric air was produced
in considerable quantities, and some
OF it poured into q wineglass and
handed around for inspection.
It was at first in a state Of violent
ebSllition, but this soon ceased, and
q gentle and finally almost imper
ceptible effervescencc took it's place,
the liquid air being apparently in no
hurry whatever to resume it's ordi
nary gaseous condition. This was not
the least striking part Of q 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

Great Land for Whiskers.
From the Mexico (Mo.) Ledger.


Col. E. X. Gates, of CuTyville, whose
whiskers are so long that he has to hide
them to prevent a crowd following him
about the streets, came up last night from
his home on business. The followers of
Mohammed for centuries have sworn "by
the beard of the prophet, but it is safe
to say that the gentleman of sable skin,
to whom reference was made, had no such
beard as this Piker. Only privileged
few have been permitted to gaze upon the
splendor of the flowing growth which Col
Gates can step upon, but those few will
long remember the sight. The colonel
wears his beard underneath his linen.
concealing all but a short, scraggly
growth that falls from his chin When
he allows his beard to fall down in front
of him, and combs it out loosely, it almost
conceals the man himself from view. 1t
is black and luStrous.
Senator William PETER, of Kansas, took
his beard and himself from the dalliance
of the wild winds of the prairie to the eff
fete atmosphere that fingers anout the
Potomac, and there astonished the deni-
zens of that benighted region They
wondered at his beard. which is more
than foot long and of the blue-bl
variety. What would they think of Col
Gates?
The bearded Piker has but one rival in
the state, and he, too, is Piker; his
name is Tapley-the famous Vol" Tap
ley, of 1.-The State of Pike" There was
once another man in Missouri who was
widely known through his abundant hir-
suite growth; that was John Tibbs, of
Macon, who wore thirty-six inches of
whiSkers. Tibbs is now in Eureka
Springs, running bottling works. Sam
sons plenteous hair and whiskers gave
him strength, or. more properly speaking,
his strength lay in their possession.

Col. Gates great prosperity. For num-
Der of years he has kept store in Curry

and silks and lace on the next, plows and
candles, notions and potatoes, -four and
drugs, all gathered together in one house,
under one roof. even as Noah gathered
into the ark two of every kind. But, af-
ter all, this great and phenomenal growth
of beard is but another illustration Of
how profuse and varied are the products

sympathetically One of the old
French noblesse was lately heard to re-
mark that when he first went into society
his father used to impress upon his mind
that at a party he was bound to insure its
success so far as he was individually con-
cerned. To make himself agreeable was
a duty not to be neglected without grave
breach of courtesy, both. to the guests
and the friends who invited him. In a
modern gathering no such Anticipated
sentiment would tind a disciple. Young
people, if they do not meet some one to

their boredom, and would stare in aston

friends house it was the duty towards
the hostess to pay attention to those who

ladies and ugly girls should have little
share of consideration would be to sub
iect oneself to the charge Of being old

Little Dan McAvoy Killed by an Ex-

Daniel McAvoy. the 12-year-old son OF
MIR. \. McAvOy, met with fatalaccident
in Whitfield square yesterday afternoon
about 4 80 o'clock.
The little fellow and other companions
of his own age were playing in the square.
Walter Heron was engaged in loading
small cannon. From the statement
Of some of the boys it appears that the
cannon was rusty and cracked in several
places, and that it was stuffed with dirt
and powder, and slightly wadded. The
instant the fame was applied a loud re-
port followed, and the so-called toy few
into fragments. A large piece of iron
struck McAvoy in the neck, cutting the
jugular vein. He staggered and asked tine
boys to help him home. When he arrived
there blood was pouring in a stream
from the wound, and the boys father saw
that his son was fatally hurt.
The little fellow, when brought in,
said: PA. try to stop the blood" Mr.
McAvoy carried him over to st. Joseph's
Infirmary, but all the physicians had left
shortly before. The boy was laid down,
and there slowly bled to death, as moth
ing could be done for him In one hour
from the time the accident occurred he
breathed his last.
Several Of the other boys
were hurt, but none seriously Strange
to say, Just a year ago yes erday, the boy
had his face badly burned with powder,
and was confined TO his bed long time.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
from thefamhy residence on Price street,

STRUCK THE WRONG MAN.
William waddell, Colored, Runs u
Against a Oountryman.

Against Oountryman.
There was an interesting case up for
trial before Recorder Wilson yesterday
morning. 1t seems that while Policeman
d, j. Cronin was on duty ON West Broad
street early yesterday morning he
heard cries for help in the direc-
tion of Oak street. Putting his horse
into a gallop, the officer hurried up
TO the place, and in a dark alley near
Cuyler street he saw two men clinched
near the entrance.
AS he dismounted hurriedly one of the
men broke away and ran up to him, cry
ing out :'"He robbed me; this is his pis-
toll" The speaker was a white man.
Crouin arrested the other man, who
turned out to be William Waddell, a we'll
known mulatto Waddells face and head
were covered with blood pouring from
wounds inflicted by the blows from the
butt of pistol.
In court the white man, whose name is
J. o. McCrane, said that he was passing
the alley, when Waddell stepped out and
endeavored TO start a row with him. Nc
Crane tried to keep him off, thinking he
was drunk, but the negro pulled out pis-
toll, and levelling it at McCrane, told him
ito hand over that 500 BILL
Il then saw had no more chance" ex-
planned McCrane, zen so jest pitched
right cen to him." and Judging
by this pitching in, McCrane
is man who never does a
thing by halves. Waddel's statement was
to the effect that he was passing and saw a
man run out of alley pursued by McCrane,
who jumped on him and beat him with
the pistol. When searched nothing was
found on Waddell. The recorder turned
him over to the superior court on a charge
of highway robbery, and required
McCrane to give $3.50 bond to appear as
witness at the trial. Waddell is
drummer in the regimental
band and up to now has always
had reputation for integrity The fact
of his knowing about the possession of
the bill by McCrane may be explained
by stating that he is a barkeeper, and
perhaps might have seen the man pull
the bill out of his pocket. McCrane is a
good speciman of the original Georgia
backwoodsman, and looks as if he could
do up aman in better style than could

ITALY's NEW CABINET.
Premier Crispi Reads It's Declaration
of Policy.


Rome, Dec. 20.-The new Crispi cabinet
appeared in parliament to-day and Pre-
mier Crispi read the ministerial declara-
ton of policy. Signor Crispi said that
the parliamentary origin and sentiments
of his colleagues indicated the spirit in
which the cabinet was constituted. They
belong to no one party, but to q
great party. aiming at Italian
unity. They assumed Office at a
moment when Italy was in a
more serious state than it had ever been
before. Therefore, they warmly appre-
ciated the union of parties until IGaly's
fortunes were rest Ored. The government
would introduce the necessary bills to
deal with the many needs of the state.
There was no time 10 lose and the
government intended to effect every pos
sible retrenchment by simplifying the
public services; but the country should
cherish no illusion as to the extent of the
results which might be obtained.
In conclusion Signor Crispi said that the
moment had come TO call upon the country
to make sacrifices.
