That we are upon the eve of the de-
velopment of mighty mechanical
force for the manufacture Of power,
greater than either steam or electricity,
seems evident. This new force is LIQUID
air. Chas. E. Tripler, of New York,
has demonstrated in a series Of expert
ments the practicability of the applica-
ton of this new force to the develop
ment Of power. Mr.. Tripler takes 800
gallons of ordinary air, and by COM
preston and cold reduces it to one gal
Ion of a liquid that looks like glycerine.
1t retains its form at temperature of
312 degrees below zero. On the same
principle that water becomes steam on
the application Of heat, and under a
greater degree of heat superheated
steam, so liquid air as it warns ex-
pands into vapor and then into air. By
controlling this expansion new mo-
tive for the use Of transportation COM
panies on sea and land, for factories,
furnaces and for every other purpose
for which steam and electricity are
now used is developed. The expansive
force of this new power is equal to
1000 pounds to the square inch, and
without an exhaust pipe the pressure
is so great there Is now no material Of
sufficient strength to restrain it. I'm
like water, however, it needs the appli-
cation of no artificial heat, but on ac-
count of it's intense cold contact with
the atmosphere causes it to boil and
evaporate like water on hot plate.
While this may seem much like lifting
ones self over fence by ones boot
straps, or perpetual motion, at the same
time Mr.. Tripler has demonstrated that
this new power will reproduce itself
without the application of any outside
agency. The first gallon or two is
made by the use Of coal or any other
ordinary fuel, just as ice is made in
factory, but thereafter he is able to re-
produce ten gallons Of the fluid by the
expenditure of two. A railway locomo-
tive or steamship will therefore create
it's own power from the atmosphere as
it passes along, and the factory en-
gineer will simply turn the key on an
air pipe, start his machine and manu-
facture this power as he needs it with
no other cost than the wear Of the ma
chinery.

Arkansas legislators have passed a
game law that will subject to a fine a
woman who wears stuffed bird>on

tinue it will soon be declared a misde-
meanor for a fashionably attired WON

ciety friends are laying up trouble for

Langley Devotion to His Mother.


Prof. Langley, Secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution at Washing
ton, has many sides to his character.
His love for children is well known,
and he Is frequently seen walking or
driving with one of his little compan-
ions, who seem to rest him more than
any other society. He has recently
dedicated poem at the National Mu-
scum to his wee favorites, and shows
his sympathy and affection for them
constantly and in many ways.
This eminent SCIENTISTS love and
tenderness for his mother, an old lady
now, whose chief pride is in her son, is
equally characteristic. An article at
lacking one of his theories appeared
some time ago in New England daily.
Prof. Langley carried it in great dis
tress of mind to friend to see If the
many misstatements it contained could
not be corrected.

earnestly, "but l am much worried for

The correspondent of the London
Daily Telegraph at The Hague says:
Serious differences of opinion have
been manifested between the United
States representatives and those of
certain powers on the subject of dis

Rome-Former Premier Crispi in the

What may not be the result Of the
practical application of wireless teleg-
raphy? In answering that Question
the dreamer will have an opportunity
to let his Imagination run riot. When
wires are no longer needed how much
will the cost of establishing and main
tanning telegraph system be lessen-
ed? What effect will it have on the
pOstoffice department? How many
letters that now go by mail will then go
by telegraph, especially in the busi-
ness world? And what effect, if any,
will 1t have on the long-distance tele-
phone? These are all pertinent ques-
tons now, for the experiments made
by Guglielmo Marconi between Eng
land and France have demonstrated
that the commercial use of wireless
teleghaphy is something that we may
confidently expect at an early date. To
Marconi belongs the credit Of develop
ing and applying the principle discov-
cred by NikOla Tesla and explained by
him in pamphlet issued eight or nine
years ago. The scientific world was
inclined to scott then, but Marconi saw
the pamphlet, became interested in
the subject and worked out the details,
with the result that he has sent mes
sages across the English channel, q
distance of thirty-two miles. If this
can be done it follows that the Allan
tic Ocean will soon prove no barrier,
and then the extensive cables NAV he
abandoned. In commercial way the
possibilities Of this discovery are GER

A Naval Solomon

Captain McB-, a canny Scot, was
once In command of a troopship re-
turning from India. On board he had
as passengers three ladies, all wives of
officers in her majesty's service.
Now, 1t fell out that the cabin al
lotted to them was fitted up to accom-
modate four, and consequently it con-
tanned four wash basins, one of which
was far larger than the other three.
For the right to use this especial
basin each lady put forth her claim,
citing her husbands position in the
army. But the husbands, unfortunate
ly, all proved to be of equal rank, so
to clinch the matter the trio bearded
the captain in his cabin.
I'VE will leave it entirely to you,
captain" they said, land abide by your
decision"
Captain Mob cogitated duly and
then declared solemnly, with the faint.
est twinkle in his gray eyes:
"Leddies, as it is no matter O. rank
think It wull be that the oldest
amang ye sud have the beegest bowl"
With murmured thanks they filed out
again, but that basin was never used
during the yoyage.-Spare Moments.

Peril In Stamp Boxes.

young officer in the navy, and as his
birthday is near at hand she has
bought pretty little stamp box in sill
yer to give to him, but she is not going
70 give it to him, after all.
Daughter" her father said to her,
'if you wish that young man well,
never give him a stamp box. You
fouldn't give him anything more dan
gerous. a man would better carry
dynamite than stamps. One Of the
bravest officers in the navy has been
for 20 years paying the penalty of his
folly in carrying stamps. Everybody
knows who he is. Years ago he re-
ceived an order from the department
which displcascd him very much. He
knew to whom he owed it, and he sat
himself down that same night and eX.
pressed himself frankly on paper to the
man he blamed for the obnoxious or
der He had stamp, and so he sent
the letter off in that nights mail. If
he hadn't had a stamp, he would not
have mailed the letter till morning and
If he had kept it till morning he'd new.
er have sent it at all and he would not
have paid the penalty of 'sassing' the
department.
Don't send the young man a stamp
box. The officer I've been telling you
about says that his experience taught
him never to carry stamps, but the
trouble about the wisdom experience
brings is that it usually comes too late
TO be Of any use. Don't encourage the
young man to carry stamps. 1t isn't
safe. "-Washington Post.
