LIQUID AIR.
1T May Take the Place of Oxygen In Sub
marine Navigation.

Liquid mir may play an important part
In submarine navigation. 1t WAS believed
q fow years ago that oxygen would solve
the problem Of furnishing q reasonably
wholesome atmosphere to submarine boats,
and q submarine craft equipped with oxy-
gen rctorts instead of compressed air re-
torts remained many hours under water,
whilo it's occupants played cards, nto n
hearty meal and did othor things that had
hitherto beer ono only above tho surface
of tho water. The advantage of oxygen
over compressed mir lies in tho fnct that
less OF the former than OF tho latter il
needed in submarine navigation, and there
fore II less weight Of metallic rotorts has
to be carried. IN tho seemingly successful
experiment tho oxygen wns permitted to
escape in small quantities into tho atmos-
phorc of tho vessel whom tho conduct Of q
small flame indicated tho presence of too
much carbonic acid and consequent dearth
of oxygen. Little has been heard of oxy-
gen equipped submarine craft since the cx-
pertinent, and now liquid air has arrived,
perhaps to furnish exactly tho thing need
cd, rather than % makcshift substitute for
u normal atmosphere.
Since n London company has boon form.
ed for tho purveying of liquid air, 1t looks
as If tho proper apparatus for handling it
had been provided, and suggests the carly
employment of tho liquid in submarine
navigation. There seoms tho possibility
of q submarine craft that shall get rid of
its impure air by some means yet to be in
vented, and substitute for it the needed
nmoun Of pure air slowly converted from
the liquid to tho gaseous form. An ingcn-
ious but totally u%nscientifc person has
suggested tho possibility of n submarine
craft safely navigating tho still ocean
depths, undisturbed by motion of wind or
wavo, with rotorts Of pure liquid mir care
fully kept in q freezing mixture, but con-
stantly permitted to leak tho necessary
quantity per minute to supply tho place OF
tho vitiatcd air laden with poisonous exha-
lations from the lungs of the crow and
passengers. Tho hostile battleship would
never DO safe from sudden submarine ut
tack and the pestiferous smuggler would
bob up serenely at midnight in remote
harbors, land his contraband goods, and
be of.-Now York Sun.
