Light Fluid In which Cork Sinks.

Now that hydrogen has been liquified
there seems to be no more worlds to con-
quer In that special direction. 1t was
remarkable coincidence that the first pub
lie exhibition OF this latest wonder was
made in connection with the centenary
of the Royal Institution of Great Britain.
Professor Dewar, in opening the exhibit
ton, spoke OF liquid hydrogen as a new
instrument of research, which il eminent
ly is by virtue of the extremely low tenn
perature at which alone it can exist, and
which low temperature it, by its pres
ence or contact, enables other substances
approximately to reach. The liquid was
exhibited in n state of gentle ebulltion
in vacuum tube immersed in liquid air,
the latter serving to impede the access
of the heat. The hydrogen is a trans
parent liquid and, besides being the cold
est is also the lightest liquid known.
A cork drops Immediately to the bottom
of it. At the bottom of the vessel con-
tanning the liquid there appeared a whit
ish substance, which has, in fact, solid
air, or air ice. 1t is impossible to avoid
the air ice in the bottom OF the vessel,
as the air at the surface of the liquid
is, by the intense cold, condensed, liqui-
fed and subsequently solidifed. and, be-
ing so much heavier than the hydrogen,
it sinks and accumulates at the bottom
To show that the liquid was really hydro
gen a light was applied to small guam
tity which at once burst into brilliant
fame. Solids immersed in the liquid long
enough to attain the same temperature
were, upon being taken out, covered with
liquid air, which would run down and
drop off.-American Machinist.

not do it so completely as to shut out the

it can be seen for long distances from
almost every direction.
A very fine arch it is to be too. The
actual cost will be but $26, 500 but it
must be remembered that 81 of the best
sculptors in the country are giving their
services and are working like beavers
at its construction. If Gotham had to
pay these patriotic artists of the mallet
and chisel, the bill would foot up some
thing like $500, 900, for each sculptor
has national reputation.
The arch will resemble the arch of
Titus in Rome, but it will be bigger
and finer to look at than that historic
affair, although not Of such lasting ma
terial Staff, which glistens whittier than
any marble and looks Just as substan-
tial as granite, will be used
A double line Of ornate columns ex-
tending on either side of the arch will
make a magnificent and imposing ap-
proach to the stately pile.
The arch is to be adorned with sculp.
ture symbolizing the power Of the
United States as a maritime nation
The main idea Of the sculptural adorn-
ment will be to have the four great

THE ELECTRICAL ILLUMINA-

But the most prominent feature OF
the decorations will be the electrical

Dewey, will shine in letters SO feet
high, and when first lighted Thursday
night, the returning admiral can easily
read them from the deck of the Olympia
even should he decide to anchor ter
miles outside of Sandy Hook
The legend will be 800 feet long, and
more than S, 900 electric lamps Of high
candle power will be used to form thi:
midair signal of welcome to the ad-
miral. The device will be strung on the
central part of the span between the
towers and above the railroad tracks,
so that it can be seen and read up and
down the East river as well as for miles
down the bay.
The lights forming the letters will be
pure white, and at each end of the de.
sign will be appropriate embellish
ments The reflected light from thi,
display, which Warren w. Foster sec
rotary of the committee, says will be
the greatest display of electrical illu-
mination the world ever has seen, can
be seen in every direction within &c
miles.
The bridge will be- decorated by day
with bunting and flags its entire length,
but its greatest glory will be seen by
night. In addition to the great central
illumination there will be many other
lights, and from the towers four great
searchlights will play their piercing
rays in every direction.
The legend which the big bridge is
to bear will be repeated dozens Of times,
in letters from to 30 feet high all

lamps are to be festooned among the
trees, across the walks around the foun-
tain and everywhere that there is peg
or a branch to hang lamp upon.
These lights will be colored as well
as white, and the big arc lights which
will be hung in arches at n greater
height also will show a variety Of colors.
The park will look like the scene of a
garden party or lawn festival on an
immense scale The hall itself will be
ablaze with lights, which will show its
decorations Of flags and bunting by
night as we'll as by day, Similar illu
limitations are projected for the borough
hall in Brooklyn.
1t is impossible to tell all the wonders
that will be accomplished in the way of
electrical illumination by private in
dividuals. Every electrician in the city
is working on plans for one or more
buildings, and all the electrical shops
are crowded with orders which must
be turned out before Dewey day
On land there will be a daylight dis
play which has never been equaled in
New York or any other city. The great
metropolis will be fairly swathed in

Electricity, which will play so prom.
inent part in the public and private
decoration and illumination of the city
and the water, will have its first innings
on that Thursday night. Never before
probably have been seen so many craft
blazing with lights from stem to stern
as will take cruise down the bay that
night TO catch the first glimpse of the
admiral's flagship and to carry their
message of welcome TO port" to the
returning sea fighter who has made
glorious his country and his country's
flag on the other side of the world.
Every one of the excursion craft, ev-

the masts.
The ferry companies slips and the
steamship and railroad piers along the
electric designs will be varied, accord
ing to the taste of their designers and
the plans of the chief engineers. On the
North river where the larger railroad
and steamship lines have their termi-
mails, the display will be even more bril-
liant The Pennsylvania railroad was
the first to submit plan of its illumi-
nation of the Jersey City terminal to the
committee On the great train sheds
facing the water will be the words

ters of electric lamps, with the facade
of the station picked out in electricity.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad also has reported its
plans to the committee. They were de-
signed by Paul H. Brangs, the com
panys chief electrician, and they show
an elaborate display.
All the other railroad companies have
made plans as elaborate and complete
as these two. Private and corporate
owners of piers on both rivers have been
seen individually and have given their
plans confidential to General Howard
Carroll, who is chairman Of subcom-
mittee on river and harbor decorations,

of electric light for miles along each
bank of the two rivers may be expected

greater distances will come thousands
Of others Even in the far west Dewey
clubs are being formed These clubs
are made up of people who are bound
to be in New York when Dewey gets
there. Agents are sent ahead to arrange
for accommodations, and special trains
are to be chartered.
The New Workers think the big crowd
can be accommodated somehow or 9TH
er. During the Columbian celebration
of several years ago New York took care
of at least I 900, 900 visitors, and since
then her facilities have been greatly in
creased.
During the Columbian celebration
the New York hotel men worked to-
gether and handled the emergency with
out difficulty. Weeks before tho event
they had, through advertisements, COM
piled list of householders in the vicin-
tiles close to the various hotels who
wished to rent rooms without board
and they communicated with these
householders.
Then, to save hotel clerks the bother
of looking after outside details, they
opened q central bureau in Union
square, where persons crowded out of
the hotels were sent and quarters So
lected for them according to their ideas
of economy and convenience.
The same plan is to be carried ont at
the Dewey celebration. 1t is the opin-
ion of James H. Breslin that if 1, 900,
600 persons have to remain in New
York overnight during the Dewey fes-
tivities New York can take care of
them. There would necessarily be a
good deal of doubling up" but Mr..
Breslin thinks the city hotels, re-en-
forced by apartment houses and board
ing houses that would be temporarily
pressed into service under hotel general
ship, could handle such multitude
1t must be remembered that every
day in the year 100, 900 people arrive in
and leave New York without creating
ruf1ie on the surface of things.
But the visitor to Gotham must ex-
pect to be somewhat crowded on the
Dewey days He must not look fol
elbow room on the streets and must be
prepared to hang on to cable cars by
his eyelids. He will see sights worth
looking at however, and when he tind'
himself in the center of acres of densely
packed humanity two blocks from the
line of parade he may console himself
by the reflection that he is doing hi.

THE HARVEST SUPPER.
a Merry Hour After Hard Days
Work In the WhenfheId.

Then the o'clock whistle blows, and
there IL a hutter of excitement" writes
John Northern billiard in The Ladies'
Home journal. THE girls run for the
butter and cream and milk, and middle
aged woman, an old and tried hand at
making coffee by the gallon, begins the
important concoction. II there Is a long
yeranda to the farmhouse, the table il
spread there. At intervals are stacks OF
white and brown bread, rolls OF butter,
pitchers of milk, dishes of apple sauce
picked beets and jam. Platters of chick
en-, cut in pieces sliced hmm and beef and
mutton and bowls of vegetables are
placed conveniently for the men to help
themselves as quickly as possible.
"In ten minutes the bread plates are
empty and are filled again with steaming
biscuits. Coffee cups are replenished,
and the meat platters make several
journeys to the kitchen. A dozen apple,
custard and berry pies disappear like
snow before the sun. Potatoes are cap
tured on the points of forks, cut in half,
sopped in gravy and disappear as quick
ly as n coin is slipped from the palm of
a wizard. Then there is a squeaking of
boots, the sliding of chairs, and the men
go back to the yard.
"The horses are fed, and the hay in
the loft Of the barn is shaken down and
blankets thrown on it, n rude but well
come bed for the men, tired out by the

When the Olympia drops her anchor
in lower New York bay, the admiral
will get his first surprise 1t is extreme

honor But when he sees acres of water
craft blazing with electric lights, miles
of shore line bathed in red fire, is al
most deafened by the shrieks Of whistles
and sees the very sky itself turned into

1t would seem that certain uses may be
found for liquid air in which considerations
of cost are not so important as is the
ability to obtain the effects in view, SAYS
the Engineering Magazine. In warfare,
for example, the possession of highly con-
rentrated energy stores under control il
very important Liquid air can be rapidly
converted into compressed air AT six tons
per square inch. This would probably be
useful in the projection of high explosives.
Compressed air Is now used for prOpellirs
mobile torpedoes, or fish torpelocs as they
are called. Dirigible torpedoes either de-
pend for power upon compressed air or
the electric energy of storage battery.
Compressed air requires highpreSS ureS and
very strong and heavy containing vessels
Liquid air can be stored without pressure
or at low prHsures and can be eVaporat-
ed at any desired pressure, while its bulk
represents that of air under 500 atmos
pheres. A storage battery would properly
be from to 10 times as heavy as hquihed
air in a receptacle, for equal available en-
ergy. But no storage battery could be dis
charged at an equivalent rate.
Submarine boats and flying machines
may yet lind use for liquid air. In the sub
marine boat 1t could be evaporated by the
heat of the surrounding water and after
furnishing power 1t would Ventilate the
boat Before the final discharge it could
be burned with oil in II fuel engine for
further power. We may find use fog 1t in
the flying machines. For emergency work
ii could ia evaporating cool the cylinders
of a fuel engine and yield power as re-
suit Moreover, contCol OF the submer-
gence OF a boat could he effected by the
use of liquid air, so easily gasitied, to add
10 the displacement.
The great feature of the application of
such power as liquid air would be its
emergency value, BY this is meant the

tably possesses this emergency value. and
