Wars For independence,

All history teaches that in a war fol-
independence superiority in numbers
does not count. For instance, the little
republic of Switzerland, surrounded by
Kingdoms and empires in arms, won it's
independence upward Of 900 years age
and is independent today, yet it has
and has always had only an army Of
militia. The little principality of Mon.
tenegro has been fighting the Turks

before the discovery Of America. The

Wallace and Bruce, and Prussia under

Of the world that a people who have
fought with such desperate valor as the

Converting Gases Into Liquids.

1t is only very recently, say within
the last three or four years, that the
convertibility of gases into liquids and
solids has been practically accomplish
ed. Such feats in physics and chemistry
are now we'll understood, as is the prac.
tical applicationof the solidifying force.
The experiment of Professor Dewar of
England along that line in 1923 at
tracted the attention of the scientists of
the world. He gave many demonstra-
tions of his power over the ethereal,
yet unruly elements, " and was the first
to liquefy and then freeze a gas. In
1898 Faraday proved the fact that some
gases could be liquefied under pressure,
but, as Professor Doremus declares,
simple pressure is insufficient in the
cases of many Of the other gases, intense
cold must rob such gases of their latent
heat before liq~uefaction takes place,
and it is a well known fact that the sol
entists have not always understood how
to manufacture an artificial blizzard.
The experiments of Professor Dewar
and others are at present only interesting
to the scientists, but it is believed that
they are the forerunners of apparatus
that will be noteworthy from the stand
point Of the business world. st. Louis

More Curious Than Probable.

A curious explanation Of the indispo-
sition of Queen Victoria to have her
reign celebrated as the longest in Eng
lish history is mentioned by a relative
of one Of the court ladies. 1t is to the
effect that the queen, at heart a vehe-
ment Jacobite, holds the elder pretend
er to have been truly king of England,
as James III, and she feels that, as he
survived his father 81 years, his reign
was longer than hers has been. l give
this as Ii was given to me, with no
comment save that numerous other fads
about the Stuarts. which the queen un-
doubtedly oherishes. are not a whit less
