Cheap Process Discovered for the
LiquefactfOn of Air

WASHINGTON, March 20, 1S97.-Consul
General DeKay, at Berlin, reports to the
State Department the important discov-
cry of a new method by which air may
be liquifed cheaply, and therefore for
practical use in the industries and arts
There are so many uses for liquified air
that scientists hardly know where it's
usefulness will end if it can be produced
at low cost in commercial quantities. This
has been accomplished by a new method
and apparatus devised by Prof Linde of
Munich.
Hitherto the cost was about 225 for re-
ducing five cubic metres. and Prof Linde
has cut this expense down two and a
quarter cents. The chief feature of the
new apparatus is the use of compressed
air for refrigerating purposes, and in the
pump partially compressed air is allowed
to cool the incoming air, this process be-
ing repeated without the use of chemi-
Gals until a fluid like water is obtained
The temperature reached in the process
without other refrigeration than the com
pressed air itself is 273 degrees below zero
when the air under pressure liquifies.

ALBANY, March 49, 1897-Dr. Baxter
7. Smelzer, secretary of the State Board
of Health, has just returned from Elmira
where he has been inspecting the new
mechanical filtering system in that city.
The plant, which cost in the neighbor-
hood of S150,000, is ready for operation,
but a New York concern has an injunc-
tion against the Elmira company for an
alleged infringement of patent This has
presented the operation of the plant. In
the meantime the ravages of typhoid
fever are so extensive in Elmira it was
thought best to make some arrangement
for starting the filter with the under
standing that the Elmira people pay the
the patent in case the decision was in
favor of the latter. 1t was learned, how
ever, that like case was pending in the
action of the Niagara Falls plant. on
which a decision would be had in a short
time. It was decided to await the de-
termination of this case.

Bu Gable TO the United Press.

VIENNA. March %, 1Ss7.-The new
Reichsrath was opened today by En-
peror Francis Joseph in person The
Emperor in his address from the throne
said he believed that the action of the
powers In regard to Greece had a ten
dency toward peace, and he hoped that
the policy of the powers would SOON re-
suit in satisfactory settlement OF the
Cretan difficulty. Though the powers
condemned the attitude of Greece, the
Emperor said, they did not mean to en-
courage Turkey in resisting the reforms
which the powers had demanded that
the Porte should institute in the Turk
ish domains. The Porte, he declared.
must remedy the existent abuses in the
turkish empire and accept the recon-
mendatlons of the powers.
!, Concerning the, concert of the powers,
the Emperor said:-"Thanks to the com,
mon action of the powers the dangers
arising from Greece's action In Crete
have been minimized, and we are now
permitted to hope that the concert of the
powers, despite differences of opinion on
the part of some and hesitations on the
part of others, will lead to a solution that
will be eminently satisfactory I say this
above all in regard to the Cretan cues
ton, upon, which my government is.in

measures to preserve the territorial status
