A bOwlful set in your refrigerator
will do all the work of big cake of ice
but much better. 1t will slowly vast,
away, but the product Ia nothing blu
sir-and cold. 1t is absolutely dry
there will be no drip. In fact, an,
closet or cupboard can be used as re
frigerator with liquid air, only it viii
waste little faster.
You want a glass of ice water. Pour
the water into a tumbler and drop int
1t half teaspoonfui or less of liquiC
air. Then watch it moment. for it i:
a beautiful experiment. After dancing
and bubbling and showing all manner
Of jewel tints for about a minute the
liquid air disappears. Your glass Of
water is now cooled and has little
lump of ice in it,
To cool an oyster let one drop of the
liquid fall on il. Too much would
freeze it harder than flint. Should you
happen to put too much on a lump OF
butter you could pound it into yellow
powder with hammer, though it
would soon thaw'
| Many kinds of food and drink are
much improved after being thus frozen
and thawed.
To make ice cream pour little Ii

stir vigorously.
You can cool wine or beer almost in
stantly by pouring thin stream over
| the surface of the bottle. This you
| can do as you sit at table; it will not
soil the cloth. Too much would freeze
the liquor and break the bottle.
To cool your parlor on sultry day
take half q bucket of liquid air and
splash it around the room with a dip
per, just as you would throw water on
the sidewalk for similar purpose. 1t
will dance over the floor in bright
globules and fill the room for = moment
with cloud of mist, but it will wet
nothing and do no injury even to the
most dainty upholstery.
1t will not only cool air but will
make it pure and bracing, like sweet
mountain breeze, for there Is always
some excess OF oxygen in liquid air.
This is the simplest method of cool
ing room and is effective. Soon,
however, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS fans
will be supplied for this purpose.
In the sick room this cooling and

Many lives undoubtedly will be saved
thereby.
In the cases of diseases such rs yell
low fever. the germs of which cannot
endure frost, all danger of contaeion
and spreading may be averted. The
protection of nurses will be perfect.

no more cases of sunstroke in over
heated offices. And any bedroom in a
city fiat may be made cool and refresh
ing as the wide-windowed rooms at
mountain summer resort. Think of
the Joy of that when the dog star RACES
all you who sleep in hall bedrooms!
With liquid air you cannot only
purify the air but also water even to
the cesspool. It is an admirable disin-
tectant. The large amount of oxygen
in it simply burns out all impurities.
All you have to do is to thrown it in,
and perhaps stir 1t up little. A pan
full placed on the floor of the cellar
will sweeten things up down there
wonderfully: besides making the place,
and indeed the whole house, percepti-
bly, cooler.
All these things. and much more,
you can do yourself without trouble
and without special appliances. All
you need ts a properly insulated can
containing a few gallons of the liquid
Soon, however, all manner of clever
appliances will be provided, and when
that happens liquid air will become a
factor in everyday life such as electric
ity is now.
