A Curious Plant.

From the Washington Star: "a
curious plant" said an eminent bot
-anist to the writer, & day or two ago,
''is the wild tamarind, or junbai plant
of the riverside and waste places of
tropical America, and very strange are
its effects upon the non-ruminant ami
mails that feed upon it's young shoots,
leaves, pods and seeds. It causes
horses to lose the hair from their
names and tails, has a similar effect
upon mules and donkeys, and reduces
pigs to complete madness. Horses are
said to recover when fed exclusively on
corn and grass, but the new hair is Of
different color and texture from the
old, so that the animal is never quite
the same as it was. One animal, of
which personally knew, after feeding
on the plant, lost it's hoofs and had to
be kept in slings until they grew and
hardened again. Ruminant animals
are not thus affected, and the growth
of the plant is thus encouraged in the
Bahamas as a fodder plant for cattle,
sheep and goats. The difference in it's
action upon ruminants and non-rumi-
nants is probably due to- changes ef-
fected upon it in the chewing of the
cud."

Der district. The machinery that went

bargained for, making better arrange

LIQUID AIR FOR SALE
7USH-CART MEN SEE NEW
OPENING.
SThe Wonderful Power Will Be Sold for
Cents a Gallon-An Immense Plant
Being Established In New York
City.

Pushcart venders will soon sell liquid
air at nickel a gallon, and every
house will have it's own cooling ap-
paratus. A plant capable of turning out
1000 gallons of liquid air daily has
been established in West Thirty-third
street, and company expects to put
the discovery on the market in a short
time as a commercial product. The air
Is produced with comparative cheap
ness, and will be sold as refrigerant
and as source of power. The pro-
moters of this new novelty gave pub
lie exhibition yesterday of their ap-
paratus, and demonstrated that they
could produce air much cheaper than
any one else. The apparatus for pro-
sducing the air is the Ostergren- Burger
process. While the system follows
Tripler's invention in the main, the
Insulation used by Ostergren and Burg
er to prevent the absorption of warmth
from the surrounding atmosphere ap-
pears to be more effective. Tripler
roughly, estimated the cost of produ-
cling gallon Of liquid air to be about
2G cents. Ostergren and Burger appear
to get it for from to 10 cents al pres
ent, although they hope to improve on
these figures. With a steam engine
capable of developing 200 horse power
in a day Of twenty-four hours an out
put Of about 1,500 gallons has been OBJ
tained. The new eXperimenters in this
interesting line of work have invented
a motor for utilizing the stored energy
OF the liquid air and hope for a patent
within a few weeks. Already they
have tiny turbine operated by jet
Of vaporized liquid, and this turbine
drives fan. Rooms occupied by peo-
pie can thus be conveniently cooled.
It is thought that by using the 1iquefy-
ing apparatus in place of an ammonia
plant cold storage may be had as
cheaply as by any other method. It
has been a puzzling matter hitherto to
put liquid air in convenient shape
for transportation. It was found to be
unsafe to inclose it in sealed recepta--
e. cless because evaporation was sure to.
take place, and the pressure which
would thus be exerted from the
interior upon the walls of the con-
tanning vessel would be ruinous. But
a plan has been devised for obviating
this difficulty, yet without allowing ex-
7pensive waste. A vessel that has
double metallic walls holds the fluid,
and the air which evaporates on es-
Gaping from the inner receptacle flows
out between the two metallic walls,
but it is kept there under pressure. A
safety valve prevents any serious ten
sion, and yet discourages the volatiliz-
ing process. The vessel described is
inclosed in a much larger one of wicker
or similar material, and excelsior is
packed between it and the outside
walls of the reservoir. In these recep-
tacles the company will put the air on
the market at a low fgure.-Pittsburs
Dispatch.
