report was given in the Philadelphia
Ledger Of the following day. The air
was liquefied in New York, two and
half gallons of it being conveyed to
Philadelphia in a milk can thickly COW
cred with felt. In the process employ
ed for liquefying the air it is compress
sed by a pressure of 1000 pounds and
cooled by passing through copper coil
to normal temperature. 1t is discharg
ed through a very minute opening,
when it expands and its temperature
falls, and, coming in contact with a
second coil, cools that and it's con-
tanned air at 1000 pounds pressure.
This cooled air is discharged also up
on third coil, also containing air at
the high pressure, and in this coil
the cold produced is so intense that the
air runs out in a liquid stream quar-
ter Of an inch or so in diameter. The
liquid air remains liquid, just as water
does, until its temperature rises to the
boiling point, and then, as the opera
tion OF evaporation requires heat for
It's maintenance the evaporation pro-
ceeds slowly or rapidly, according to
the rate Of heat supply. The intensely
low temperature must, Of course, not
be forgotten. Ice dropped into the
liquid causes 1t to boil until the ice is
cooled. The boiling point at ordinary
atmospheric pressure is-191 degrees
centigrade or-320 degrees Fahrenheit.
AS the boiling point of nitrogen is
more than ten degrees below that of
oxygen, 1t is found that it boils out
first, and by careful control Of the
evaporation the liquid oxygen may be
retained separate this process, there
fore, affords a means Of obtaining oxy-
gen for the many purposes for which
it is required in the arts. The refrig-
erative phenomena exhibited were nu-
merous and interesting. An egg placed
in tumbler of the liquid caused it to
boil furiously. When the egg was
finally cooked" or cooled TO the tenn
perature Of the air it was taken out
and struck with hammer, flying into
the finest fragments Tin became as
brittle as glass, while copper and plat
mum were not affected in this way.
Mercury was frozen so that it was used
to drive a nail in board. Cotton sat-
urated with the liquid oxygen exploded
and burned brilliantly.

Civilized people, especially of the
English-speaking races, pride them
selves upon their discoveries in cleo
tricity with which they now operate
the guns Of the great ships of war, and
they point with fear and trembling as
well as satisfaction to the perfection OF
all sorts of dynamite bombs and ex-
plosives which they may, on occasion,
use to kill people by the hundreds; but
with all their cleverness they have
never learned to make what a naked
savage can fashion out of a crooked
stick. 1t has been stated that there is
nothing made Of wood which a Yankee
boy cannot copy with the aid Of his
jack-knife, but the man who said that
had probably never heard of a boom

to make them by almost living with
the savages and watching them as they
sat whiting away at a piece of wood
with their crude stone hatchets and
sharp shells. He makes them now,
when he has little leisure from his
regular occupation Of wood engraving,
but ordinarily he sits in his little New
York studio working over a microscope
as quietly as if he had never whirled a
kangaroo into eternity with one of
those bewitched pieces of deformed
wood. Besides those which he has
made himself, Mr.. Baker has the larg-
est collection Of real Australian black
mans boomerangs in this country.
There are almost a hundred of them,
and queer lot they are! Some of
them are haggled as if the savage had

A few Of these date away back to the

CRAMPS OPINION OF WILHELM.
Most Progressive Monarch Who Ha,

Most Progressive Monarch Who Has
Reigned Since Peter the Great.
Charles II. Cramp, the great ship
builder, in commenting on the enter
prise of foreign countries, is quoted in
the Philadelphia Inquirer as saying this
about Germany: 1.-THE magnificent en-
terprise Of Germany at the present
time-covering almost every branch of
industry-is an example for the whole
world to gaze on with admiration. Her
manufactures, her commerce, her
merchant marine and her navy are
alike receiving an attention and en-
enlargement that are developing them
rapidly into the most stupendous mon
uments of industrial enterprise and
back of it all is the young German en-
peror, who is regarded as crazy by
half the people of the world. He may
be crazy, erratic or anything else they
like to call him, but / tell you that the
manner in which the Kaiser William
has stiffened the backbone of Germany
since his accession TO the throne pro-
claims him TO be the most progressive
monarch who has reigned in Europe
since Peter the Great. One of his loft
lest ideas is to make Germany para
mount on the seas, the result Of which
is the shipyards in Germany were new
er go busy as they are today. Germany
is not only building vessels for her
own navy and merchant marine, but
she is making every effort to control
the ship building industry of the world
This she can never do, but her pluck
and enterprise are extraordinary in
this particular. She has her agents in
every country theoretically seeking to
obtain contracts for war vessels, and in
her overtures to Turkey she not only
offers to build it new navy but to
take its old navy and put it through
repair by overhauling and undermining
every vessel"

the severity Of the disease or the prompt
and perfect cure performed by DR.. Ayers
Pills. Similar results occur in every case
where DR.. Ayers Pills are used. "They
helped me right away" is the common
expression of those who have used them.
Here is another testimony to the truth of
this statement:
~ formerly suffered from indigestion
and weakness of the stomach, but since l
began the use of DR.. J. c. Ayers Pills,
I have the appetite OF the farmers boy. 1
am 4o years of age, and recommend all
who wish to be free from dyspepsia to
take one of DR.. Ayers Pills after dinner,
till their digestive organs are In good
order."-WM. STEINKE, Grant, Neb.
DR.. Ayers Pills offer the surest and
swiftest relief from constipation and all
its attendant ills. They cure dizziness,
nausea, heartburn, palpitstion, bad breath,
coated tongue, nervousness, sleeplessness,
biliousness, and a score of other affections
that are, after all, only the signs of more
deep rooted disease. You can find more
information about DR.. Ayers Pills, and the
diseases they have cured, in Ayers Cure

A crazy man named Collins made
things very uncomfortable for the Hit
threshing crew, who are working about
four miles south Of this city this morn
ing. Collins has been working on the
crew for some time and of late has been
acting very strangely. This morning he
went to work with the other hands at
the usual hour, and labored quite dill
gently until about o'clock, when he
seized a pitchfork and went on the war
path. He turned his attention first to
one of the feeders, made several jabs at
him with the fork and ran him over the
top of the separator and away from the
machine: The rest Of the crew were
treated in the same inconsiderate niati-
ner and all took to their heels leaving
him in full possession. Collins then left
the machine and started toward the city.
Sheriff McG auvran was notified at once
and started out to look him up but up to
the hour of going to press he had not
been apprehended. The crew were
badly frightened and were powerless to
act as Collins instituted proceedings first.
He made threats against the lives of sew
eral of the men and also promised to
come back and burn the rig tonight
