HOW AIR is LIQUEFIED.
Its Effect Upon Tin, Iron and Glass
Vessels.

Its Effect Upon Tin, Iron and Glass
Vessels.
To liquefy air, says the New York
Sun, it must be reduced to r-7IS part
of its original bulk, or to tempera.
ture of 3oI degrees below zero. If it
were attempted to liquefy the air by
direct pressure, it would take nearly
II, 900 pounds to the square inch to
accomplish this. Professor Dewar, of
England, first succeeded in producing
liquefed air about three years ago.
He used combination Of pressures
and refrigerations, but he was able to
secure only small quantities OF this
interesting liquid. Mr.. Charles E.
Tripler, OF this city, has since succeed
ed in producing liquid air in large
quantities, and this he has supplied
to Columbia College and other scien-
tifc institutions for experimental pur-
poses, besides giving many interest
ing exhibitions of it himself Mr..
Tripler has not made the details OF his
liquefying machine public, but it is
pretty we'll known how it works. Mr..
Tripler begins the compression of the
air by using an air pump, driven by a
twenty horsepower steam engine.
This squeezes the air down to a pres
sure of perhaps 1900 to 5000 pounds
to the square inch. In this state it
flows through a coiled tube Eunder
water, where the heat made manifest
by compression is taken away by
flowing water. After this a little Of
the cooled air is allowed to escape
through pinhole into long, small
copper tube, in space inclosed with
a thick non-conducting covering.
Gradually the temperature of the air
within the tube is reduced, until at
last it settles into the lower end of the
tube as liquid and is drawn off at
will by the turning of stopcock. AS
the liquid air is drawn off it resembles
skinned milk in color an consisten-
cy. The milky look is due to the
gaseous impurities which the free air
had contained. and these are now pres
ent in purely mechanical form. The
impurities are water and carbonic acid
gas. Both have been frozen into
minute particles of snow as the air
was cooled, and these bits are floating
in the liquid air.
To get rid of these the air is poured
through filtering paper, just as one
would filter water. 1t comes through
as beautiful, limped liquor of almost
the same specific gravity as water,
and OF beautiful light blue color.
The color, it is known, is due to the
oxygen. One of the pretty expert
m ents shown is to prove the nearness
of liquid air and water in specific
gr avity. A little liquid air is poured
upon the top of a jar of water. It
boils and bubbles, and perhaps in
most cases sets up such a hubbub
that it all disappears before it gets
quiet enough for the experiment to
succeed, but if this does not happen,
the observer will finally see the liquid
air in sort OF funnel shape, and at
last drop will seperate from this and
sink just little way into the water,
boiling all the while. Then it will

rise again, sink once more a little
lower, and so continuing will, per-
haps, finally reach the bottom of the
jar before it all boils away. In the
state in which the liquid air is poured
on the water the experiment proves
that it is just a little lighter than the
water. In that condition it contains
about one fourth oxygen and three.
fourths nitrogen, The nitrogen is
more volatile than the oxygen aud
lighter. This boils off faster than the
oxygen and so leaves the liquid heav-
Ter than it was, and it begins to sink.
Finally, when little is left but the OK
ygen, it sinks to the bottom.
This liquid air is curious stuff. 1t
cannot be handled in vessels of iron,
steel, glass or ruber. for it makes all
of these substances so brittle by its in
tense cold, that they would snap to
pieces at the slightest provocation.
One of the experiments shown is to
take an ordinary tin cup and cool it
for moment by holding it in the
liquid air When it is withdrawn it
can be broken into bits with the hng-
ers just as if it were wafer. As the
metal gets warm again it resumes its
ordinary toughness. You can touch
liquid air, if you do it with caution
and skill, and not get hurt, although
its intense cold would destroy your
flesh as quickly as red-hot iron. As
you draw your fingers through the
liquid air it feels cold but not intense
ly so. This is because it does not
come actually in contact with the
skin. The heat from the fingers sets
it to boiling and there is layer OF
free air always interposed between
the liquid and the fingers. When
woman started to touch the liquid air
with gloved fingers she was stopped
and warned that moments INNER
sion under such circumstances would
burn her hand as If she had put it in
to furnace. If you let drops OF the
air fall upon your hand they do not
do any injury. but bound off in the
same fashion that water drops hop
about on a red hot stove. Your hand
is really red hot as compared with the
drops of liquid air.

A stomachful of undigested food is
about as unhealthy mass as one can
well imagine.
What can be done with it,
There it stays. 1t won't digest.
1t churns up, ferments and decays;
becomes poisonous (as all putrid mat
ter does) and causes great pain and
deep-seated disorders.
In order to change all this, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial.
1t stops fermentation and decay at
once, so that no more poisons are
created.
1t clears the stomach of poisons
already there. 1t helps it to turn the
food that remains, into healthful
nourishment. 1t strengthens the
stomach for the next meal.
Here is the whole philosophy and
cure of indigestion in few words.
And what's more, it's all true. Try
it.

A HUMANITARIAN" WAR.

1t appears that the various depart
ments at Washington are receiving
memorials reminding them that this is
q humanitarian" war, and being such,
anything like a spirit of retaliation
must be downed. These memorialists
have evidently got this idea from the
fact that the war is waged primarily
in the interest of humanity and ci-ili-
cation. This is very true, and the war
Will not be waged on barbarian princi-
pies, but if this reminder that the war
is a Humanitarian" one means that
the war should be carried on as a sort
of pink tea affair, and that nothing
harder than bon bons and puff balls,
with occasionally a piece of fngel cake,
shall be hurled at the enemy, then
these memorialists might just as well
have saved their paper and pains. The
war should be carried on vigorously and
relentlessly, until Spain is driven from
the western hemisphere. When blow
is struck her, it should be so hard that
she Will tremble from center to circum-
ference. And when all this is being
done, it should not be forgotten that
Spain has inflicted many wrongs upon
this country and its people; that it was
in Spanish harbor an American war
ship was blown UP and two hundred
and sixtysix American officers and
sailors were murdered through Spanish
treachery. All this should be remem-
bered, quite as distinctly as that this is

UNDESIRABLE STATES voLUN.
TIERS.

Some three years ago Mr. Cleveland.
then president of the United States.
took occasion. in addressing a religious
body, to speak of the undesirable
states" of the west. His remarks were
an insult to the people of the west, and
were resented as such; that which
prompted them was his dislike of any
ard everybody who did not accept his
dictum on the financial question, a
thing the far west unanimously refused
to do. But these sentiments were ech-
oed by all of Mr.. Cleveland's adulators.
and also by those who were for McKin-
ley and the single gold standard in 1896.
Language failed them to express their
detestation of the degradation to which
the silver men had sunk, and the
treason they were endeavoring to work.
Al this IS referred to to show how
very unpatriotic and un-American the
people of the undesirable states" of
the west were regarded by their broth
ers Of the east, who favored the single
gold standard.
The silver men and the gold men
still differ radically on the currency
question, but in the presence of for
eign war that question is held in abey-

1t is such things as these appoint

placed the utmost reliance on the presi-
dent and everything ne has asked for
has been cheerfully and readily grant
ed; it would have been impossible TO
have given him greater or heartier sup

the president has scarcely met the ex-

CONDITION OF THE BANKS.
Continued Accumulation of Idle
Funds at New York.

New York, May 2S.-The weekly bank
! statement shows the following changes:
i Surplus reserve increase, $2,9S9, $50;
loans, increase, $500, 400; specie, in
crease, 81, 459, 200; legal tender, increase,
| 50, 2S4, 800: deposits, increase, s1501S 500;
| circulation, decrease, $500. The banks
now hold $50, 200, 600 in excess of the re-
! quirements of the 25 per cent rule.
The Financier says: The statement
of the associated banks of New York
for the week ending May %, reflects a
continued inaction of idle funds at this
center, although the expansion of S.
POP. 400 in the loan account is a certain
indication that business is improving.
The banks gained S6,744 600 in cash,
which, added to the loan increase, &C.
counted for the unusually heavy growth
of s15.O1S. 600 in deposits within the last
seven days.

ution. Against this the only losses
have been in the shape of remittances
to southern banks, and these are not
nearly as large as receipts. The move
ment from the interior is only normal
at this season. Perhaps some of the
loan expansion represents purchases of
sterling exchange, not included in the
previous statement; but now that
money rates abroad have fallen, this
form of investment will not be as con-
spicuous as in the early part of the
year. The month of May has been
marked by some noteworthy changes in
the bank totals. Loans have increased
over S19,00O.000 deposits sS7. 900. 600, cash

sPRINGvILLE BANK ROBBERY.

Yesterday Springville, in Utah coun-
ty, was the scene of a bold and daring
bank robbery. Two desperadoes held
up the cashier of the bank and took
some three thousand dollars in money.
Making their exit, they jumped into a
| buggy and started for the mountains,
only mile or so distant. Up to this
point everything favored them. The
cashier Immediately gave the alarm
and soon posse was in pursuit of the
robbers and had not followed them far
before they were overtaken. One was
surprised in the brush and surrendered
upon demand; it seems he had lost his
pistol. The other one did not surrender
when called upon but began shooting
at the posse. He was killed, but I'M
fortunately not before he had shot one
OF the posse in the leg, inficting a
serious wound. Those who so prompt
ly responded to the call for help in
pursuing the robbers cannot be too
highly commended, and they are to be
congratulated upon their good work.
These robbers appear to have been
members of the famous Robbers Roost
gang. This affair at Springville makes
the third member of the gang who has
bit the dust this month. The effect
cannot fail to be salutary in the high
est degree. 1t will tend to demoralize
the remaining members and to make
the people more determined than ever
to rid the state of their presence. Three
of them are dead while three of them
are in custody and certain of being
landed in the penitentiary.
The people of Utah are not used to
bank robberies, this being the third one
that ever occurred in the state. The
first one occurred in this city some
ten or II years ago, when Mr.. 3. II.
Shelter, at that time cashier of lions
Savings bank, was assaulted. being
struck over the head with a heavy iron
poker His assaiIant got no money. He
was captured and sent to prison. The
next bank robbery occurred at Nephi
four or five years ago. The robbers
were captured. The affair at SPRING
vile yesterday was the third attempt
of the kind. Its termination was any
thing but encouraging to others who
may have had any intention of irving
the same game. These men at Spring.
Vile were probably encouraged by the
success of the desperadoes who robbed
Paymaster Carpenter at Castle Gate
about a year ago. Things are coming
the laws way this year.

hardly out of his teens to a grade
which, ordinarily, in our service, is at
tanned only after years of experience,
training and service. There is nothing
commendable i'll a policy which places
college boys or the disreputable sons of
reputable fathers in positions which
call for men of integrity, education and
ability. There are some fragrant exam
pies of the injustice which politics and
personal favoritism have wrought upon
regular army officers. 1t is something
more than shame when an officer who
has attained the grade of captain by
years of service on the plains and by a
long period OF training in military
work in the department and in the field,
finds himself junior by two grades of
young man who might be his son, so
far as comparative ages go, and whose
appointment is tribute to the indus
try and influence of his father or his
friends. 1t might have been expected
that personal influence would operate
TO some extent but we do not believe
the actual condition was anticipated, or
that it was realized there would be so
many instances of personal and politi-
cal favor. The newspapers are justified
in their severe comments. The princi-
pie is all wrong. 1t is a disbursement
to officers who have seen service, and
who merit favor if any be allotted 1t
seems to us that with little independ-
ence and fearlessness those in author
ity could have resisted the influences
which have added TO the register of the
volunteer army so many names of peo-
pie who do not deserve this distinction,
and who will leave TO the unrewarded
the work and the responsibility-every
thing but the personal spectacle and the
emoluments.
And the country may deem itself very
fortunate if much disaster does not fol-
low these appointments. If there is any
place in the world where merit and fit
ness should control in such matters, it
is in selecting officers to lead troops IN
war time.
