Liquid Air a.an Explosive.

Searching experimental trials have

tory in Germany rs 10 the use of liq-
nd AR as an explosive. The chief diff
ficulty that had to be surmounted was
that no means existed for keeping the
air in a liquid state for any consider
able length of time, because. when this
liquid has a temperature of less than
2oo degrees centi=rndc. every incre-
meut OF heat causes II rapid evapora-

purpose special rcceptacles are used.

extraordinary manner as fast as the
eve could detect the changes; they
varied from very rich crimson to
dark dull brown, these changes no
doubt indicating the high state of ex-
element under which the creature was
at the time. Suddenly the octopus dis
charged huge jet OF dark-colored
fluid full into the eyes of sunfish, and
then, rushing forward with the rapid
ity Of an arrow. 1t encircled its prey
with the long tentacles, and in another
moment the victor and yanquished had
disappeared below the surface of the
water In few moments more we
had sailed right over the scene and
found the water was colored almost
black for a space fully 200 feet in diam
eter and we noticed an 9doT slightly
resembling iodine rising from the wa

cotton, which was towing astern. was
coiored almost black. and it has not

About twenty minutes after we had
passed over the spot We saw the huge
creature again on the surface enjoying
its meal IN very leisurely manner.

To Abolish Railroad Passes.

Yesterday the Chicago Chronicle
had this bit of information for its
readers:
1T is probable that after Janu-
ary 100000 or more railroad en-
ployes in the United States will
pay fare when travelling over any
but the respective lines on which
they are employed. Not only are
all railroad men to be barred from
time honored privilege, but every
body else, not excepting the intlu-
ential shipper, will be forced to
pay for tickets.
"At meeting of committee
representing the largest six rail
way systems in the country in Chi
cago Monday, it was decided to
recommend to a general meeting
of officials of all the roads west of
Chicago, to be held in St Louis
October 10, an entire abolition of
passes and all forms of free trans
portation. The only exception to
this radical action is employees
travelling on business for their re-
spective companies"

tertainments and the doctors bills;
the money spent in other churches
for if they come TO your entertain
ment you must go to theirs; and
worst of all and most costly the de
moralizations of the church and
the curtailment of the Legitimate
giving which follow in the train
of such methods of raising money.
But they got their carpet.

WHY IS THIS mus

All branches of business have to pay
extra taxes except the Gas Trust.
Why Is this thus:
The Chicago Record of Aug. ~ In It's
financial article said:
with reference To the earnings Of
the Peoples company information Is
eagerly sough, AMI hard to get. The
published reports for las, year showed
somewhat better than u per cent earn
ell on the stock and u per cent was
paid in dividends. That so large n cap.
itaiization should have earned only
GA per cent has excited surprise and
led some to fancy that the Peoples
Gas Company was In position where
even a slight decrease In business or
profits would impair It's dividend rate
II Is a tenet with those who manage
concerns operating under franchises
and public grants that financial reports
should not be excessively frank rs to
earnings. Gas experts have figured
from the last report Of the Peoples
company that G2h cents thousand
cubic feet was charged to cost Of man.
ufacture. They declare that no mod
ern gas company pays any such sum
for production and distribution. From
sources which are believed to be trust.
worthy comes the assertion that the
actual earnings of the Peoples COM
pany last year We're D per cent on the
stock and that this years earnings will
equal IL per cent on the stock"
