The Bulletin of Pharmacy tells of a
remarkable experiment made with
liquid air by physician. He placed a
dog in a room in which the temperature
had been lowered to 100 degrees below
zero by the use of liquid air, and left
him there ten hours. When released
the dog had ferocious appetite and
was greatly stimulated. The physician
then tried it himself, and after ten
hours an intense appetite was created
and he felt exhilarated. He says the
combustion required to keep the body
warm is so great that the extraordinary
appetite is created.

Revised figures prepared by the Rail

new roads built in the United States in
1895 to be 1925 miles These figures do
not include second track and sidings.
This is an increase of some 400 miles
over estimates made at the beginning
of the year. But even these latest fig
ures are probably too small to repre-
sent the entire increase in mileage
made in the whole country last year.
In 1897 the mileage of new roads
amounted to 2.t09 miles. which was
only little in advance of the records
