Liquitied Air by the Gallon.

The processes for liquefying air en-
ployed in England by Professor Dewar,
the first scientific man to accomplish
this feat have been slow and expensive,
and it has therefore been the good for
tune of comparatively few to witness
the remarkable experiments that can
be performed with this substance. 1t
has been reserved to an inventive
American Charles Z. Tripler of New
York, to perfect a simple and mex
pensive process for liquefying great
quantities at a time, SO that he now
literally makes it by the gallon We
quote from The American Machinist'
a description of his process and of some
of the things that can be done with
liquid air:
In the process employed for liquefy-
ing air it is compressed to a pressure
of 1000 pounds and cooled by passing
through copper coil to normal tenn
perature. 1t is discharged through a
very minute opening, when it expands,
and its temperature falls. and, coming
in contact with second coil, cools
that and its contained air at 1000
pounds pressure. This cooled air is
discharged also upon a third coil, also
and in this coil the cold produced is
so intense that the air runs out in
a liquid stream quarter 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 operation of evaporation requires
heat for its maintenance, the evapora-
ton proceeds slowly or rapidly ac-
cordlng to the rate of heat supply
The intensely low temperature must of
course, not be forgotten Ice dropped
into the liquid causes it to boil until
the ice is cooled. The boiling point at
ordinary atmospheric pressure is-191
degrees Centigrade or $50 degrees
Fair. AS the boiling point of nitrogen
is more than 10 degrees below that of
oxygen, it is found that it boils out
first, and by a careful control of the
evaporation may be retained separate;
this process, therefore, affording a
means of obtaining oxygen for the
many purposes for which it is REQUIRED
in the arts
The refrigerative phenomena exhib-
TIED were numerous 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 temperature of the air. it was
taken out and struck with a hammer,
flying into the finest fragments! Tin
became as brittle as glass, while cop
per and platinum We're not affected in
this way. Mercury was frozen so
that it was used to drive. a nail in a
board. Cotton saturated with the Iiq-
uid oxygen exploded and burned brill
iantly. These phenomena and others
exhibited too numerous to be rehearsed
i here suggest great possibilities of USE
/ fulness for liquid air in the FUTURE
