first applied to steam car traffic that 1t
would prove far more costly than horse
power; vet, the result has been a reduc-
ton OF fifty per cent in running expense.
So it is again claimed now that liquid air
cannot be made effective except at pro-
hibtive price.
The claim is made now, as then, by the
people who have not acquainted them
selves with the facts; and the facts will
prove them in this case, as it did in that,
false prophets. More money will be
saved, and more made, by the use OF
liquid air under the patents owned by
this company, than was ever saved or
made before since invention began; and
this will be demonstrated within Jew
months.
The Liquid Air Power & Automobile
Co.'S factory and equipment represent an
investment of over 500, 100000; its flnan-
ciai condition is substantial; its patents
protect its processes to the extent OF
monopoly OF the practical use OF liquid
air as power; its operations are progress
ing to the entire satisfaction OF It's dlrec-
tors and stockholders, and its profits will
exceed those OF any enterprise ever yet
undertaken in any field, commercial,
mining or inventive. The time is not tar
distant when, on the stock exchanges OF
the country, one OF the biggest industrial
securities traded in will be the shares OF
this company.
Those who would like to be among
the original holders OF such shares are in
vited to investigate the company, inspect
its machinery, and inform themselves
fully as to its capabilities and prospects.
When they have done this we shall not
need to solicit their subscriptions; those
will be voluntary. We only solicit the
investigation.

What is Liquid Air?

The question "What is Liquid Air?"
has been frequently asked, but we believe
rarely, if ever, answered in way intelli-
gible to any but the scientist. 1t is sim
ply the atmosphere we breathe, COM
pressed in series OF cylinders, each Sue
cessive cylinder pressing the air into a
smaller and smaller space, the air after
each pressure passing through cooling
tanks, until finally when squeezed into
about one ight-hundredth.o its original
compass, and cooled to 3120 below zero,
it changes from a gaseous state to a
liquid. That it is possible to achieve
such result with air is difficult idea to
grasp, but it is a scientific fact. When
this liquid is again exposed TO the heat
of the ordinary air it expands to its origi-
nal volume with such rapidity as to ex-
ert force or pressure OF over $4,000
pounds to the square inch, giving a tre-
mendous impetus to whatever it encoun-
ters, aid this pressure is vastly increased
by the superheating process OF this Com
pany.
1t is this impetus from expansion
which inventors have sought to control
in such a WaV as TO utilize itS vast power.

and the inventions owned by the Liquid
Air Power 6 Automobile Company have
first accomplished this result.

This expansive power OF liquid air is
the greatest force ever discovered in nat
tire. So tremendous is its energy that
no other power can compare or compete
with it. Its natural pressure OF 10000
pounds to the square inch is not rivalled
by any other power known, yet even this
marvellous energy, intensified by super
heating, is so regulated by the simple
mechanism OF Our processes that it is
under perfect control; and it is at the
same time so economically produced by
our method (which differs entirely from
any other, that it is cheaper by far than
any other power known.
Harnessed as it is by our inventions,
It is capable Of driving all the mills OF the
world, all the wheeled vehicles and all
the ships OF commerce or war, more
swiftly, cleanly and cheaply than they
ever were driven before; and it relieves
the railroad traveller from his cinders, the
streets from half their disease-breeding
dirt, and the atmosphere from all its foul
ness, thus adding to the comfort and
health OF mankind.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The week ly crop report issued from
the Bnited States weather Off sc tells
distressing tale of drought throughout
the state. The report says: The first
three days of the week were cool with
light frosts IN some of the upper pen
insu'a and the northern counties of
the lower peninsula; the last four DAYS
were very warm. Moderately heavy
showers occurred in portions of the
upl or peninsula, but not drop of rain
is reported from any station in the
lower peninsula; generally the weather
has been hot and dry, and this con-
diIion was intensified by the nearly
cloudless skies that have prevailed
most of the week. The effect on corn,
late potatoes, beans and pastures in
the southern half of the state has been
worry detrimental; in the principal agri-
cultural counties of the lower PENN
SUI a corn and beans are drying up and
ripening prematurely. Pastures are
very brown and late POTATOES are
nearly at standstill. Many farmers
have been cutting their corn in order
TO save it for fodder, and beans have
ripeued prematurely and their hai vest
already begun in some counties. Fall
blowing is fairly well advanced in the
central and sou hern counties, but the
parched soil has brought much of this
work to standstill and farmers are
waiting for rain before resuming pre-
parations for the seeding of fall wheat
and rye. Rain is therefore very much
needed in near y every county of the
lower peninsula. In the upper PENN
sula the conditions have been generally
favo' able and crops have made good
progress.

for which life imprisonment can be
imposed. Their vic inns were David
Sparks, Jesse Delosh, Oral Van Helden

forms the most tragic part of the af-
fair. The boys were sons of respect
able fami les, having left home unbe-
known to their parents for the pur-
pose of doing little hobuing just for
the fun of it. Popezinski told the rob-
brrs he had no coin. but after invesi-
eating they found 80 cents on his per-
son, ana for telling lie the tramps
threw him off the top of n box car
while the train was running about IS
miles an hour. His condition is not

TAX LAW AMENDMENTS.
Here are Several of Interest to Property
OWners.


AS time for paying state and county
taxes will soon be at hand, the tax
payers of The state will be interested
in several important amendments made
TO the general tax law bv the last leg
islature. Section 50, which formerly
provided for interest on delinquent
taxes at the rate of per cent per an
mum and the addition of per cent
collection fee, was amended so as to
make the penalty per cent a month,
the additional collection fee being re-
tanned.
Under the previous law there was no
charge for the cost of advertising, ETC.,
until the lands had been advertised
and made subject to sale. The adver-
tiSement was made in April and there
was no charge on the account men
toned until the land was actually Of
fered for sale. An amendment in
creases this EXPENSE from 20 cents to
81 per descript on, and makes the
charge lien upon the land on Oct. l
next preceding the time prescribed for
the sale of the land.
Lands now held for unpaid taxes of
1897 will be sold for taxes, unles, the
lat err are sooner paid, in May next.
Under the old law the expense of this
sale, which has been increased to 81,
wou not become lien until that
date, but the new law makes a lien on
Oct. 1 next.
Another amendment is the restora-
r L. IL
urers for tax certificates to accom- pany
warranty deeds. This was reduced
from 25 to Is cents and subsequently
abolished, but the last legislature re-
stored it at the latter figure.

Prisoner Leaped to Death.

Unforr unate Mary Ann Carr, % years
of age, dived to death from the lower
deck of the steamer Darius Cole into
the waters of Lake st. Clair on the
eth, while on her way from her home
in Port Huron. to Detroit, in charge of
Detective Judson c. Lombard. The
steamer was stopped and small boats
lowered, but all efforts at recovery
were futile, for the body soon sank out
of sight. Some of the passengers say
they saw it come to the surface but
once and then it disappeared. 7 he
young lady was being re urned 10 De-
troit to answer TO the charge of grand
larceny. The cause of the drowning
was not due to Mary's fear of being
C 'nvioted or of serving a possible five
years, but mply because she did not
like the idea of the detective bossing
her around.

New Coliseum at Chicago Collapsed.

Twelve steel arches, each weighing
80 tons. which were to have supported
the superstruct of the Coliseum
building in course of erection on Wa
bash avenue, Chicago, fell to the
ground late on the afternoon of Aug.
2sth. 1t is known that nine lives were

are su posed to be under the wreck
age. Ten are in the hospital with in
juries received in the accident and Of
these four will surely die, one may
possibly recover and the rest are for
the greater part seriously injured.
The immense Traveller" or derrick,
which had been use in the erection of
the arches, had been removed and the
agents of the bridge company were ac-
counting their work as practically
completed, when suddenly and with
out the slightest warning the arch last
put in place suddenly fell over against
the one next to it. The weight was
too much for this, it gave way, crashed
against the third, and then, one by
one, the great steel spans fell over to
the south, precisely in the same man
ner as a numher Of cards would fall.
