COLLEGE NOTES.

On Friday evening Dec. 18th. the
Athenian Literary Society gave its
Twenty ninth annual Mid winter En-
tertainment. The attendance was
large although the weather was very
inclement, and the entertainment, was
pronounced an unqualified success.
The music was excellent and en-
braced selections by the College Or
chestra, and vocal solos by Miss Stel-
la Eakin, and Messrs Will Bartlett
and w. R. Toms. The rendition of
all the musical numbers was except
ionally fine and called forth high APP
plause.
The features of interest in the liter
airy part of the programme were two
oratlons, "The Philosophy of Inven-
tion," and "The Dream Of Immortal
ity." The former by w. T. Ramsey;
the latter by w. T. Green. A much
enjoyed recitation was presented by
]. Quincy Wallace. The debate was
hot "set-to" between Rob Elmore
and Fred Webb on the question, Re

evaporation of liquid ethylene in "a
vacuum, the ethylene vapor being re-
moved by a pump. Another pump com
pressed this vapor to it's liquid. when
it was cooled by the evaporation of
liquid carbon dioxide which was also
compressed and cooled by circulat-
ing water. 1t was by this method
that Professor Dewar conducted his
original experiments.
The apparatus of Tripler and Lime
are quite simple, as compared with
the ethylene Sc enc, and are calcu-
lated to produce a commercial pro
duct.
The following description applies
to Linde's apparatus, as made in the

is shown in Fig. 1. The pump P

Liquid Air


In the condensation of air, says
Modern Machinery, we have proof
that it is not a permanent gas, as
was formerly believed. Fer illustra-
ton, the air Of the atmosphere may
be considered as a superheated vapor,
from liquid having an extremely
low temperature boiling point.
The critical temperature Of air at
atmospheric pressue being given by
one authority as 40 degrees and by
another as 100 C. it follows that 4
air be reduced to or below its critical
temperature, it will cease to be a
gas, and become a liquid. This has
been accomplished by subjecting the
air to pressure. reducing the result
ing temperature, and finally allow
ing it to expand to atmospheric pres
sure, when liquefaction will result.
There are now two practical methods
for reducing air to it's liquid form
that employed by Charles E, Tripler
Of New York city and the method
and apparatus used by DR.. Carl Linde
of Munich. Germany, who is famous
as the inventor of the ammonia re-
frigerating machine bearing his name.
In the earlier laboratory efforts in
this line, the air was compressed in
what might be called a surface con-
denser, when If was cooled by the

For this purpose the liquid, rich in
oxygen, is used to saturate charcoal
in small pieces. which is quickly made
into a loose paper cartridge and det-
orated in the same manner as dyna-
mite. It has the advantage that the
resulting temperature is not high,
thus avoiding the possible ignition Of
fire damp in coal mines.
Liquid air is, however, a most val
liable agent in laboratory work, scien-
tific research and Investigation. By
its use the temperature of absolute
zero no doubt, will be obtained en-
abling further investigation of the

perature on metals may be studied
to advantage by its use The effect
OF extreme low temperature on colors
is another field fer investigation. It's
powers as an analytical agent promise
an important field for development.
Promises Ct important uses in medi-
cal science are made. In this con-
nectlon, Russian physician, by its
agency, maintained a room at a
temperature of 100 degrees F. below
zero, After a dog had been confined
under these conditions for ten hours
he was found to be In good condi-
ton, and had an enormous appetite
The experimental Their subjected him
, self to a period of ten hours In the
dry cold and still atmosphere, and
found that his system was greatly
mu,ated, and the intense COM
bustion requ red by the system to
keep warm resulted in a great desire
fer food. Continuation of the ex-
periments had the effect OF making
both man and dog more vigorous.
III this case it is assumed that an at
nosphere high in oxygen was en-
ployed.
In the way of commercial uses for
liquid air, DR.. Linde is now having
built for the Rhenaria chemical
works at Aix-la-Chapelle a f20-horse-
power machine, which is expected
TO produce ab,ut eleven pounds Of
liquid per horsepower hoIr This
machine will be used to improve the
Deacon process for making chlorine.
The Office of the machine will be
to substitute a gas rich in oxygen for
atmosphere, and to effect chlorine
separation by the agency of cold,
without compression.
1t is, of course, true that where
cost is not an item of importance,
that very great refrlgeratlng effects
may be produced by liquid air This
holds true also of its use for power,
provided means of utilization Ia
secured, as the energy that may be-
confined in small space is enor-
nous, and the possibilities in this
direction will appeal to scientific in
ventors.

The gas given off in B is principally

practical commercial nature. Among
the latter the most prominent ara
that Of power transmission, the
operation Of power motors, refrigera-
ton, and its use as an explosive
In connection with power trans
mission and use in motors, or air
engines, Frank Richards, the com
pressed air expert, has made some
calculations, assuming that the
fluid could be confined and used
under conditions suitable for the pur-
pose and has arrived at the conclu-
sion that Mr.. Tripler's compressor
would use Is horsepower and yield
less than tw0-thirds Of l per cent. Of
the power used, for the purpose O.
driving an air motor at 100 pounds
initial pressure. This would be a
loss of 80 per cent, which would, OF
course, preclude the use of liquid
air for power in the present state Of
the art OF manufacturing it
en- the subject of refrigeration, Mr..
Richards. stating that the best ice
making plants yield seven pounds Of
ice per p-und of coal, assumes that
the Triplsr compressor would use four
pounds Of ccal per horsepower 0ur
which would be equivalent to 2044
pounds of ice, as compared t. about
1 per cent. of the extremely cold
liquid. which could only be used with
difficulty.
IN its use as an explosive, under
certain conditions liquid air may find
a practical application. As yet it has
been only used experim ntally in
some German coal mines. But the
in handling is serious as il
cannot be confined in cartridges.

To make up for leakage, or for that

Thus it is apparent that the heat in
the air gathered by this accumulat-
ing process is carried away in the

The two elements of ar. oxygen
and nitrogeT!. liquify together ana
produce a nearly colorless fluid, with
a slight blush tinge which may be
kept III an open vessel for several
hours before it will all evapcrate, the
length Of time depending on the
quantity and mears of insulation
used to keep the heat Of the at
mosphere from it. The liquid, how
ever, must not be c-nfned, as it
develops an almost irresistible pres

suppositi n that the evaporation pro-
duces such an intense refrigerating
effect that it holds the process in
check

nitrogen passes off first while the
oxygen exaporates slower s. that as
