WONDERFUL NATURE FORCES

New forces in nature are being con
stantly discovered, and nobody but an
expert attempts to describe them with
accuracy. Some of the experiments
border on the miraculous There is
that one, for instance, with liquifed
air in which quicksilver is frozen.
The mercury is poured into mould
having a hammer shape, and is sub
jected to the temperature of liquid air
two hundred and forty degrees below
zero, from which it comes out in SC
solid form that it can be used tc
drive nails. For an hour it's solidity
Of form is preserved. Then there is
another experiment, seemingly still
more marvellous. Liquified air is
brought into contact with a lump of
ice, and the latent heat in the ice boile
the liquifled air. Yet water freezes
at thirty-two. Compressed air has
been developed as great power, and
is soon to be put into practical opera
ton on certain railroads. Two cross
within a few weeks, and between 125th
Street and Yonkers a locomotive run
by compressed air is to be started
Think of all the dirt and dust that
would be saved the summer traveller
were cars to be operated altogether by
this force! Private street carriages
may also ultimately be run by it. The
cost is said to be slight, and the pow
er enormous. Even without Keely's
secrets, therefore, we can do very well
for decade or two, and by that time
some one else will be on the track of
his special and well-guarded discovery.
For nature is nothing if not prodigal
with her favOrs, and his secrets are
never intended for the special few. SO
soon as the majority can understand
the latest Of them she yields it over,
and she is not half as reluctant about
revealing herself as we are slow in
perceiving what she extends to us. 1t
is interesting to remember that the
hitherto invisible and immaterial
forces are those which within the
century have been mourning the de-
cadence of those crafts which made
the glory of other times, they have
been steadily progressing into the
realm Of higher revelations and to
excellence on a different plane.-Har-
per's Bazaar.
