There are reports of the discovery of
u process Of liquifying air. If this be
true it will revolutionize the entire me-
chanical development of the country.
A telegram from New York says: The
mysterious whitish compound which
was supposed to be a new and powerful
freezing mixture is liquifed air. and
is the basis Of Mr.. Tripler's power,
which, he contends, will take the place
of steam and produce energy at a min
imum of cost. How he liiuifies air he
will not tell. 1t has been done before,
but in small quantities in scientific
laboratories, but never commercially.
When liquifed tie air is at a tenn
p~erature Of 45G degrees below zero on

sequent upon this vaporization that

from boiling water is transmitted. 1t
is possible, however, he declares, to
obtain a pressure of 1000 pounds to

200 degrees below zero, and at prac-
tically no cost. while to obtain $50

LUCK
London Newspaper Comment on
the Administration and the
Price of Wheat.
Ought to Have Been Overtaken
by Swift CALAMITY for the
Dingley Bill.
Allegation That Bryanites Are
Thereby made to Look Fool
ish" Comforting.

LONDON, Aug. 23.-The Westminster
Gazette, referring to the rise in the
price of wheat, says:
It is an unmerited stroke of good luck
for President McKinley's government,
which ought to have been overtaken by
swift calamity for shamelessly paying
election debts to the trusts by the pas
sage of the Dingley bill.
At the same time the Westminster
Gazette finds comfort in the allegation
that 1.-THE Bryanites are made to look
foolish" and adds:
The Western farmers will see at once
that high prices are compatible with a
gold standard and the destruction of
Bryan and his panacea is bound to
follow. But if President McKin-
ley's supporters n wise, they
will not for q moment imagine that
when they dispose of the silver craze
they will dispose of the revolt against
the American capitalists, wAo have
never used their power SO ruthlessly az
since the last presidential election.
The Westminster Gazette then pro.
ceeds to denounce the ''extortions' OF
the new United States tariff, which, it
adds, sis one of the worst and most
fruitless sources Of corruption of public
men and public servants"
In conclusion the Westminster Ga.
zette says: The degree Of success which
has attended Bryan shows that the
American people are becoming alive to
the rottenness of something, and next
| time attention will be directed less tc
| the gold standard than to the standard
Of public life.
