LIQUID AIR IN BLASTING.

Liquid air has been rather obscured
lately by wireless telegraphy and other
new wonders, but wise men are still
studying it. Experiments with it as a
| blasting agent were recently made by
the Vienna Crystal Ice company, and
were observed by members of the Aus
trian Technical Military committee.
Although the tests were made under
unfavorable circumstances and did not
give decisive results, yet they afforded
considerable information as to the be-
havior of liquid air when used as an
| explosive. The liquid air employed in
the experiments was made by the Linde
process in Munich, and was transported
in vacuum tubes, open at the top, and
packed in felt and cotton. When pre-
pared the liquid contained oxygen and
nitrogen in the ratio of 1925, but as an
interval of three days elapsed before it
was used certain portion of the liquid
evaporated, leaving larger amount of
oxygen, which then amounted to eighty
five per cent The cartridges used con-
sisted of keselguhr, mineral oil and the
liquid air. Cartridges were prepared in
several ways and were capable of being
handled, though there was considerable
caution employed in adjusting the prin,-
ers and detonators. The tests were
made with holes thirty inches deep,
drilled in the rock, and it was found
that the leading difficulty was the evap-
grafton of the oxygen. General Hess of
the artillery. commenting on the results,
states that the preparation of the car
tridges not only is wasteful, but is at
possible to guarantee their strength,
even in the toughest way. The car
tridges should be made on the spot and
it would be very difficult to fire a num-
Der of cartridges simultaneously In
using liquid air below ground the large
quantity of oxygen generated might
cause the spontaneous ignition of marsh
gas or coal dust, yet this can be bal
anced by the fact that there would be
no contamination Of the air, the oxygen
released making it much purer. The |
chief objections are summed up as fol- !
lows: The unreiability of the power of
the cartridge, the short time it remains
active and the impossibility of trans !
porting the cartridges or the LIQUID air |
any considerable distance.

FROGS FROM THE NORTHWEST

ST. Paul and Minneapolis Said to Be thu
Largest Markets in the World,
ST. Paul and Minneapolis are the
| largest frog markets in the world
| The total receipts for the past year
| from the frog-catehers of the state ex-
| ceeded five hundred thousand Dozen re-
curing the slaughter of no less than
| five million frogs. Five years ago no
frogs were shipped out of Minnesota.
Now the business. amounts to upwards
of one hundred thousand dollars year.
| A wonderful industry has grown up in
st. Paul and Minneapolis in supplying
| the United States with frog legs.
| Frogs are found in other states, of
course. In the south the supply will
probably never become exhausted, but
there are no frogs like the Minnesota
product for the epieure. This is attrib-
uted to the clear, cool water which is
found in Minnesota's ten thousand lakes
in which the frogs live and have their
nests.
Frog legs are purchased all through
the state by shippers from the two cit-
les, and this occupation gives employ
ment to more than one hundred fami-
lies, who make a good living the year
round. The professional frog-catcher
can tell a frog pond at glance and
they can locate the frog nests and Sc
cure the greatest number in a surpris
ingly short space of time.
Minnesota caught frogs are known
the world over for their delicacy in fla
vor. They are in great demand in New
York, Cincinnati in all of the Atlantic
states, in California, and in fact in eve
ny state north of ST Louis, and the de-
mand is constantly increasing. The
greatest demand for frog legs exists in
the larger cities and comes largely from
hotels and restaurants but throughout
the coal and iron districts a good de-
mand for them is growing. In st. Paul
and Minnesota frog legs are to be found
on the bill of fare of nearly every hotel
and restaurant. Here they cost from
thirty-five to fifty cents per dozen.
The frog-catchers are located near the
smaller lakes throughout the state
They know all the characteristics of the
frog, where to find him, how to catch
him and where he nests. The heaviest
catches are in the fall and spring. In
the spring the frogs come out of their
nests in droves and it is then easy to
catch them. In the fall they return to
the water as soon as cold weather APP
proaches, and it is very easy to capture
great quantities of them at that time
The frogs breed very fast and as 1t only
requires a couple Of months for them
to attain full size, it is easy to UNDER
stand how almost impossible it will be
to exhaust the supply to be found in
and around the various lakes and
ponds of the state, which probably
number more than one hundred thou
sand breeding places.
Unlike oysters, there is a good de-
mand for frog legs all the year around,
and it is necessary to hunt them in the
winter time when the ground is frozen
to the depth of two or three feet and
the ice covers the ponds to the thick
ness of from twenty-four to thirty-six
inches. But with all these drawbacks 1t
is not difficult to gather in ten dollars a

Mayor Drscoll's veto of the resolution
providing for an increase of salaries in
the Fire department is based on solid
ground. New Haven firemen are well
paid now, and there is more need of adj
ditional protection for the city than of
additions to the salaries of the firemen
We do not think the plan and the push
ing of the firemen in this salary matter
are at all popular, and we think it I'M
fortunate that they have chosen to
make such an ill-considered and deter
mined move against the prevailing pub
lie sentiment. The Fire department has
been justly appreciated and admired.
1t has also been fairly paid. We know
of no good reason why it should so
maneuver as to suffer loss in the pub
lie regard and create the impression
that it is more mercenary than wise.
Nor do we know of any good reason
why New Haven firemen should be paid
more than other firemen especially in
the city's present painful condition.

FASHION NOTES.
Mems Goods the Best.

Women are learning the advantages
of selecting the materials for their tail
or suits from the stocks of mems stuffs.
Pepper and salt goods, mixed cheyiots,
tweeds and meltons are all much more
durable in the weaves for men than
those for women TWilled serge can
not be purchased in good hard twist
except among mems goods. 1t is said
that many tailors are obliged to make
driving coats and jackets for the whole
family, in order to keep the trade of
the men, that these very tailors would
not advertise work for women because
it would hurt their trade with men, and
that the fortunate women who secure
their services are bound over to a sec
recy which it is much to their advant-
age to respect.

THE NEW .FL4GPOEE,

Tt is taking almost as much diplom-
acy and maneuvering to get that new
dagpole UP as it took to start the war
with Spain. Last evening the aldermen
voted to put it in the place of the old
one. This evening probably the coun-
cilmen will do the same. Then, if there
is no new maneuver and if "Pro Bono
Publico," "Veritas" and "One Who
Knows are all satisfied perhaps the
pole will be put up before Thanksgiv-
ing. We hope it will be, for it's upness
would help make that day one of
thankfulness. 1t looked at one time as
if we were not even going to have a
new pole to be thankful for, but Editor
Osborn and other generous and patriotic
citizens have made the pole a certainty.
Would that the putting-up thereof were
as certain. If George Washington is
where he can look down on New Haven,
and if he still retains his love for the
country of which he was the father, he
must be deeply interested in the pa
triotic struggle which is going on here
about the new flagpole.

the State took the case in hand and
went to the Supreme court with it. That
court has decided that the voters could
mot elect to the position any person who
was not a voter. The State constitu-

office to voters. The court, it declared,
could interpret law, but it could not

LEAVING KLONCIKE,
Departures This Year Exceed, by Over

Vancouver, b. c.. Sept. 1.-THE
Difigo arrived from Alaska today with
200 passengers and gold dust estimated
at $500 600. The biggest winner is
Barclay, Of North Dakota, with $780,
600. Among the passengers was q. S.

were sick with scurvy at Wind City,
got though safely.
Since the opening of navigation. ac-

have left Dawson and 2.S99 have ar
rived there. This aggregate does not
include 1900 men who tloated down
the river to Cape Nome. Departures
this year exceed arrivals by S,04S. 1t
Is estimated that there are 5000 men
broke in the Klondike who must get
out OF the country or become objects OF
charity next winter.

point OH the Yukon river $50 miles
south of Dawson. The work is being
pushed ahead at the rate OF five miles
