That we are upon the eve of the de-
velopment Of mighty mechanical
force for the manufacture of power
greater than either steam or electricity.
seems evident. This new force is liquid
air. Chas. e. Tripler, of New York,
has demonstrated in a series of expert.
ments the practicability of the applica-
tion of this new force to the develop,
ment of power. Mr.. Tripler takes 800
gallons of ordinary air, and by COM
preston and cold reduces it to one gal
lon of a liquid that looks like glycerine.
1t retains its form at temperature of
312 degrees below zero. On the same
principle that water becomes steam on
the application Of heat, and under
greater degree Of heat superheated
steam, so liquid air as it warns eX-
pands into vapor and then into air. BY
controlling this expansion a new mo-
tive for the use of transportation COM
panies on sea and land, for factories,
furnaces and for every other purpose
for which steam and electricity are
now used is developed. The expansive
force of this new power is equal to
1000 pounds to the square inch, and
without an exhaust pipe the pressure
Is so great there Is now no material of
sufficient strength to restrain it. I'm
like water, however, 1t needs the appli-
cation of no artificial heat, but on ac-
count of its intense cold contact with
the atmosphere causes it to boil and
evaporate like water on hot plate
While this may seem much like lifting
ones self over fence by ones boot
straps, or perpetual motion, at the same
time Mr.. Tripler has demonstrated that
this new power will reproduce itself
without the application of any outside
agency. The first gallon or two Is
made by the use Of coal or any other
ordinary fuel, just as Ice is made in
factory, but thereafter he Is able to re.
produce ten gallons of the fluid by the
expenditure of two. A railway locomo-
tive or steamship will therefore create
its own power from the atmosphere as
1t passes along, and the factory en-
gineer will simply turn the key on an
air pipe, start his machine and manu-
facture this power as he needs 1t with
no other cost than the wear of the ma.
chinery.

That old song Comrades" will have
n new significance in the light of the
fact that its words were sung by the
gallant American soldiers who were
wounded In the advance of MacAr-
thurs division as they were carried
back to the hospital. Comrades in
deed they were, pressing onward in the
face of deadly fire and under a trop-
ical sun more deadly than rebel bullets!
And proud indeed must Americans be
of the men who sang Comrades" at
such time.

The harder one tries to approach a
high ideal, the more 1t seems to recede
from him. But the virtue is In the
striving, not in having attained. Not
the fruit of experience, but experience
itself is the end" wrote Walter Pater.
That dillgent student who worked at
logic and mathematics for more than
forty years, the author of "Alice in
Wonderland" once wrote: 81 hope
that in the next world all knowledge

that l shall gradually grow wiser, for

What may not be the result of the
practical application of wireless teleg-
raphyf In answering that question
the dreamer will have an opportunity
to let his imagination run riot. When
wires are no longer needed how much
will the cost of establishing and main
tanning telegraph system be lessen
ed! What effect will it have on the
postoffice department? How many
letters that now go by mail will then go
by telegraph, especially in the busi-
ness world? And what effect, if any,
will it have on the long distance tele-
phone? These are all pertinent ques-
tions now, for the experiments made
by Guglielmo Marconi between Eng
land and France have demonstrated
that the commercial use of wireless
teleghaphy is something that we may
confidently expect at an early date. To
Marconi belongs the credit of develop
ing and applying the principle discov-
cred by Nikola Tesla and explained by
him in pamphlet issued eight or nine
years ago. The scientific world was
inclined to scoff then, but Marconi saw
the pamphlet, became interested in
the subject and worked out the details,
with the result that he has sent mes
sages across the English channel. a
distance Of thirty-two miles. If this
can be done it follows that the Allan
tic Ocean will soon prove no barrier,
and then the expensive cables may be
abandoned. In commercial way the
possibilities of this discovery are GER
tainly almost limitless.

Michigan Inventor Will Build One
While You Wait.

Frank w. Flanders, of Sturgis,
Mich, has invented floating island
not the kind that mother used to make
but a real live island, that can be
towed from place to place to suit the
convenience Of its proprietor. He has
built one such now, and has it anchored
in a little lake near his home, where
he can spend day after day upon it,
either for the purpose Of work or rec
reation. He proposes to make Islands
to order when letters patent are issued
at Washington for his invention, so if
you are a millionaire you can have an
archipelago of your own, if you choose,

A project promlslng benefits directly

nelG. 1t Is the proposal to the mer-

week OF the state fair. September 4. 5

OF buyers from a radius Of 100 miles
who win be thus attracted to Wheeling
that week to KIN two birds with one
stone.
"AFerchal IS Day was a glitterIng
success two years ago. the expert
ment heralded the fame and import

and gave the city a standing among the
more pretendous and populOus centres,
who heretofore were striving desper-
ately to carry OF nearly all the piums
In the tri-state radius. Now II IS con-
templated to have the stores hold Bar
gain days" while the state fair is In
progress or offer special sales In GER
tain lines OF goods. Just as the mer-
chants may choose. and the fair ASSOC
citation, which has already secured low
rates on all the railroads touching
wheeling. is confident this move on
the part Of the merchants will rebound
to good business for both parties.
Providing the merchants fall in with
the plan, the special trains will be held
In the city and will depart not earlier
than 6 p. m. 1t can be seen what
crowds Of shoppers will be prevailed on
to take advantage OF the store induce
ments, when 1t is realized that the state
fair is already advertised in 100 news
papers, while tons of premium lists.
and other fair literature have been sent
out by Secretary George Hook. This
printed mAtter has been scattered
boardcast. Fences, barns and all con-
spicuous places for miles and miles are
decorated with the state fairs attrac-
tive posters. and the result will be
evidenced by the largest crowds ever
attending the exhibition. The advertise
ing has been the most extensive. Re-
ports from outlying towns predict a
banner attendance for the week and
the railroads are looking to record
breaking crowds.
Several merchants spoken to are
heartily in favor Of cooperating in the
plan, and when a sufficient number sig
nifty their willingness to make special
sales for the week. and take steps to
announce the fact thousands Of visitors
will flock to Wheeling fair week The
chamber OF commerce may decide on
pushing the Idea along and this body's
action in its favor ensures the success
OF what is certain to be beneficial to
merchants and the city at large.
