Register has the highest esteem
for Gallipolis and its business men,
and when the Tribune states that
the Register endeavors to preju-

it simply utters an untrnth. The
Tribune has done more to kill the

ABOUT LIQUID AIR.
Interesting Experiments Conducted by G.
E. Triper of New York.

interesting experiments Conducted by "
E. TripIer of New York.
5 ,2, {+i3.siF,rom the New York Tribune)
A whiskey cocktail which the COM
FOUNDER would allow no one to touch
was prepared in the presence of sew
eraf scientific men, two or three days
ago, by Charles E. Tripler of this city.
Having poured about 1.-TWO fingers of
old rye into an ordinary tumbler, he
added about half an inch Of liquid air
from a. tin dipper. The mixture effer-
vesced in a rather lively fashion, but
only for a moment. MIR. Tripler stirred
1t meanwhile with a slender glass rod,
and then dumped the contents OF the
tunbler out on his laboratory table.
The stuff then had the consistency and
appearance of Muscovado sugar or
Slightly moist snow which had ac-
quifed q yellowish-broWn hue.
When a visitor attempted to take
small pinch of it between thumb and
forehnger, and thus to transfer even
the smallest quantity to his tongue, the
boss bartender promptly interfered.
"Why, mani" he exclaimed sit will
blister your mouth fearfuly! Drop itw
KIT erward he explained that as alcohol
'dSess not, freeze until it reaches a temp
segature of about 200 degrees below zero,
Fahrenheit, and as the fluid with which
he began the experiment had been
= Frozen by the evaporation of the liquid
VAR that had been added, the innocent
docking; crystals were much colder than
Fan uninitiated observer would suppose
and would scar flesh almost like a hot
4fon. Mr.. Tripler then proceeded to
conduct a number of other wonderful
experiments with liquid air, the prep
aration of which has occupied much of
his time and thought for several years.
Perhaps a description of these should
be prefaced with word or two about
the liquid itself Mr.. Tripler keeps a
quantity of it on hand, in an open cask,
from which he or his assistants scoop
dipperfuls as occasion requires. The air,
in this form, is not confined under pres
sure, and shows no explosive tenden-
cies until it is converted once more in
to gas. In that process it expands in
stantly. Seen through the walls of a
globular glass vessel, it looks like water,
being beautifully transparent and all
most colorless. A depth of several
inches imparts a pale blue tint to the
stuff. This is the hue of the contained
oxygen. Inasmuch as nitrogen of the
air has a lower boiling point or is more
volatile than oxygen, the former ele-
ment slowly evaporates If the COM
pound is allowed to stand for a time so
that a residue of almost pure liquid
oxygen is left.
If a double walled glass globe be pre-
pared, with a space of about half an
inch between the walls. and a vacuum
be secured there the vessel loses the
power Of radiating and absorbing heat.
Such a globe, four or five inches in
diameter and having a short, wide neck
(say ar Sinch or more across), may be
half filled. with LIQUID air and allowed

a casting was made around them. One
screw eye was then caught over a stout
nail and weight of one hundred
pounds or so was suspended from the
other. The mercury did not yield enough
to let the weight fall for 10 minutes, and
it did not all return to a liquid form
again for more than half an hour
Tin dipped into a basin of boiling liq-
uid air and thus reduced to a tempera-
ture of 300 below zero became as brit
tie as glass. Rubber treated in the
same way was much hardened, but also
crumbled like stone under a hammer
Copper, leather and aluminium, however,
retain their fleXibility in spite of the
extreme cold here utilized.
The method employed by Mr.. Trpler
to reduce air to liquid form. is original
with him in some respects. Although
Linde Gn Germany and others have
also adopted it, Mr.. Tripler says that
he was the first to do so. Various sci

entiic men have supposed that there
was theoretical absurdity in the eX-
planation given by the New York eX-
perimenter but, as Mr.. Tripler believes,
he not only produces liquid air in lar
ger quantities, but much more cheaply
than foreign chemists. he laughs at the
sceptics He says that he produces
about ten or fifteen gallons of the fluid
with an expenditure of about half a ton
of coal
One Of the practical uses to which this
wonderful stuff can be put is refrigerat-
ing. 1t is asserted that a cold storage
system using liquid air would be much
cheaper than if operated by ammonia.
In time engines may be run with it, per-
haps. Tt can be exploded like gun cot-
ton, and used in cautery. When once
the various other practical applications
of Mr.. Tripler's product are recognized,
it is possible that he may figure as a
benefactor of mankind.

work to muster their forces. Hearing
of the preparations, NJ. Rochefort said,
in his journal this morning, that he
would. in compliance with the thousands
of requests which had reached him, ap-
pear at the Place Monge at half-past 4
o'clock to shake hands with his friends

in Paris was on duty, and strong de-
