Charles T.. Tripler lectured last night
at Chickerimg hall on liquid air. The
lecture was rather IL series of expert
mentS, now become somewhat familiar
to the general public through exhibi-
tions by Mr.. Tripler and these were
interspersed with remarks about the
experiments themselves on the great
uses TO which liquified air. in the
opinion of the lecturer, will soon be put
throughout the civilized world.
There was a very large audience
present, which listened with rapt at
tention to Mr.. Triplers explanations
of the mysterious agent and its won
derful power. Many Of the women
We're a little afraid of the uncanny
thing that kept bubblng out Of the
Teceptacles. like some evil genius that
could not be quite shut into the Ves
sells that stood all about the stage.
These We're even more frightened when
the lecturer began playfully throwing
spouts Of the liquid air all over the
hall, producing a chilliness in the or
dinary air, and causing something Of
a panic in those nearest to the seeth
ing caldrons. But they soon learned
that the liquid air was so dry that
it's cOldness was not uncomfortable,
and that it did not dampcn or soil rich
gowns: and the audience settled down
to enjoy the curious spectacle of in
tense cold playing upon them and
| changing the characteristics of objects
that are generally regarded as be-
| yond the influence Of ordinary cold.
EXPERIMENTS.
Most of the experiments made last
| night by Mr. Tripler had been repeat
| edy seen by many persons in the audi
| enCe. They consisted in freezing pO-
| tatoes, tomatoes, apples, grapes, roses,
| etc, and crushing them with hammer
| ag one crushes "A lump of ice. The
| roses crumbled in the hand, they were
| so stiffy frozen. A rubber BAH, dipped
| in the liquid air, became brittle as
| glass. Tin dippers were affected the
| same way. \ steak, frozen in the
air, was broken up into small pieces
| and distributed among the audience.
An interesting experiment consisted
| of freezing alcohol and whiskcy and
| forming, before the atsOnished eyes
| of the spectators, an iClcle of alcohol
several inches long. Another was
| freezing mercury so that ii sustained
| the weight of Mr.. Tripler, who weighs
| 2lO pounds, and so that a piece Of il
was used 10 drive large nails into a
hard board. The air was boiled i'm a
kettle by placing the kettle ON block
| of ice. 1t was also boiled over a gas
flame. over the latter, when it reach
ed the temperature of ice, 1t froze
while the bottom of the kettle was COW
cred, even in the very flame, with a
thick coating of ice. Ice itself was
reduced to a temperature Of $40 below
zero, when II assumed the appearance
Of, and crumbled in hand like, cam,

EXPANSION.

''If this amount of liquid air were put
into the engines of the Campania.
those engines would either go round,
or go through the ship" Then speak
ing Of what This power consists in, he
said
"Professnrs have said that there is
great power stored in liquid air. There
is no power at all stored i'm liquid air
no more than there is i'm this tumbler
nf water. 1t has no stored energy.
IT develops its power under expansion,
when subjected to heat, just as steam
does. II should be remembered that
LIQUID air is twelve or thirteen times
more condensed than compressed air,

across town with compressed air.
Well, compressed air will run cars
across town, but il will not run them
up. and down town. 1t may run a
stage up Fifth avenue, but it will
not run it up and down Fifth avenue.

blown to the top OF the ceiling. 1t
was also used in expanding to throw
jets of liquid air over the audience,
but ii fell in clouds of vapor instead
of spray.
As an explosive, it's force was shown
by dipping a piece of felt in it and
setting it on fire. Before being dipped
into the liquid air it would not burn;
hut now it exploded, it was consumed
SO rapidly. The same effect was had
with cotton.
\ series of interesting experiments
were made by burning matches. steel
pens. and carbon in the liquid air. \
| tumbler of ice was made by freezing
water around a metallic vessel. Into
| this tumbler LIQUID air was poured, and
when a lighted match was put in it.
| it burned with intense brillianCe.
| Lighted carbon burned, at temper
| ature Of 5000 degrees above zero, un-
der the surface of the liquid air, which
| stood at a temperature of 3l2 below.
| Mr.. Tripler paid his respects to Pro-
| fessor Morton of Stevens Institute,
! who. Mr.. Tip!er said. has referred To-
| his attempts to utilize liquid Air as
| another Eeely motor scheme. He said
| thai Professor Morton had never been
! i'm his laboratory. and knew nothing
about his experiments. He did not
even know whether his pipes were
above or below ground.
The great utility and ultimate econ
omy of liquid air. he said, will be in the
| fact that it can De used at ordinary
temperatures with as great, or greater
| effect, than steam. 1t requires 4 heat
of q" to get steam power out of water,
but If liluid cir is used, no application
of heat is necessary in order To develop
a far greater pressure than is possl-
| BILE with steam. If used i'm ordinary
| temperatures, he said, it will develop
| immeasurable force. Nothing could
possibly be more economical. Pointing
to the two carboys of liquid air on tbs
stage, he said

The one hundred and fifty-second an
nual convention of the Evangelical
Lutheran Ministerium of Pennsylvania
will meet in Trinity Lutheran church,
Reading, May 25 TO 30, 1899. The rec
ords of the congregation in which the
meetings will be held date back to 1,5l,
The first building was erected in 1854
and consecrated on Trinity Sunday of
the same year. In 1890 it was resolved
to erect the large stately edifce in
which the ministerum meets. This
building was finished in 1894 with the
exception of the fine spire which was
erected in 1888 and is over 200 feet
high. In 1853 the basement was formed
by putting in a second floor and maxi
ing other improvements at cost of
$4,000.
In 1873 a chapel was built beside the
venerable church for the use of the
infant and secondary departments of
the Sunday school, at a cost of $2l, 900.
The church itself has been twice re-
modelled and frescoed. Since 1855 four
missions have been organized and
largely supported by the mother
church, namely: Faith. Hope. Peace
and st. Marks congregations. Thous-
ands of dollars have been contributed
10 the purchasing of lots and erectlons
Of those buildings. The programme of
the ministerium for it's sessions

girl born Tuesday morning, Dec 5,
and Mr. and Mrs W D Granger are
rejoicing over the arrival at their

and Granger are two of the hsppiest

and certainly they could not have
chosen to cast their lots in more

son of FL. @. Burlington of Logan was
brought over last Friday to be tried
for lunacy. For some time he had
been suffering from nervousness, and

before the probate judge Saturday
and the following jury was impaneled:
DR.. Wallace. John Hahnenkrstt.
Frank Mckay, II. s. Granger, e. B.

him to be suffering from unsoundness
