once more. The general market near /

Liquid Air.

Many scientists are deyoting their

rapidly and cheaply hquefying air.
This, when accomplished, will be of
great value for many purposes, of
which refrigeration and the moving
Of engines, stationary and locomo-
tive, are the most important By the
most successful method hitherto
used German experimenter was
able, with a copper tube apparatus
weighing 1872 pounds and pressure
averaging more than 100 atmos-
pheres, to liquefy air in two hours
without resorting to Hillary cool
ing expedients. BY means, however,
of a machine exhibited last month
before the Dublin Royal society,
liquid air was produced in % min
utes. The air pressure in this case
was less than 81 atmospheres and
the apparatus weighed only 20
pounds. The liquid air was not in
quantity large enough to be of com
mercial Importance, but the system
was a marked Improvement over all
its predecessors. Exchange.

No Afmisttce Until Certain Conditions
Are Complied With.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, May II. ~ The
porte has replied officially to the note
of the powers and declines to agree tc
an armistice until the following condi-
tions are accepted:
The annexation of Thessaly, an in.
demnity of a1O,0O0,0O0 (durkish), and
the abolition of the capitulations.
The porte proposes that plenipoten-
tiaries of the powers should meet at
Pharsalos to discuss the terms of peace,
and declares that if these conditions
are declined the Turkish army will
continue to advance.
The demand for the annexation Of
Thessaly is based upon the fact that
the province was originally coded to
Greece on the advice of the powers
with the object of ending brigandage
and Greek incursions into Ottoman
territory, the porte believing at the
time that the cession would attain
these objects, but the recent incurslons
of Greek bands and the events imme-
diately preceding the war have proved
to the contrary This is the substance
of the reply

DR.. Rufus G. Wells, whose home is

Of the Alaska gold fever. He has be-
gun work on gigantic balloon in
which he proposes to start for the

loon will consist of a cigar-shaped bag
filled with gas, sustaining basket and
propeller. The gas will be sufficient to
sustain the weight of fifty men and
their necessary baggage. DR.. Wells is

z aeronAut Of the age. He tells marvel
Gus stories Of his exploits-how he once

seven hours. and another time crossed

go around the world in thirty days,
and consequently such little matter
as trip to Klondyke is hardly worth

ant matter. He has constructed tin
model of a machine something like
Langleys flying machine, but fitted
with various propelling wheels which
can be turned so that they
win exert either lifting or
horizontal power that will
move the machine forward. Dr.
