WILD RIDE WITH a MADMAN.
Life and Death Struggle Between

miles south of the city to take water lie

Keegan started his train toward this

climbing out of the cab window. Keegan
grapped with Cole and pulled him back

struggle.
With a scream the fireman sprang on the
engineer. and they fell locked in a tight
embrace. The engine was speeding on al a
high rate Al that moment the engineer
remembered that he mad orders 10 SOP

THE COLDEST OF ALL THINGS.
Prof. Dewar's Experiments with
Liquid HydrOgen-It Freezes Air.

From the New York Sun
London, Jan. 2l.-It is now eight months
since that final triumph of the laboratory.
the iquefying of hydrogen, was accom-
phshed and Prof. Dewar al the ROYAL In
stitution last evening described that most
volatile of gases when reduced 20 the
coolest substance ever known.
When pure it is. a colorless. transparent
liquid, with considerable retroactive power.
It had weil-defined meniscus. but no ap-
pearance of being a netal,. as Faraday
thought it might prove to be. 1t is not a
conductor of electricity. lis density Is
very deceptive. At first he thought il might
be about half that Of water, but by meas
uring a given volume and ascectaining
how much gas it produced he found its
density to be only oBe-fourth of that of
water, or six lines less than that of the
highest liquid hitherto known. One litre
weighed only seventy grammes. It instant
ly froze and solidifed air and oxygen. ami
hence enabled the density of those two
solids to be ascertained.

the air was first covered with a coating
of solid air and then began to drip liquid
air. A piece of cotton wool soaked in Il
appeared to be magnetic, but the LIQUID
itself. Prof. Dcwar is satisfied is not mag
netic. This phenomenon must therefore
be due to the cotton wool being immediate
ly flied with solid oxygen, which is highly
magnetic.
Prof. Dewars explained how vacuums Of
high tenuity We're easily obtained by i'm
mersiug a closed tube in liquid hydrogen.
The air in the tube was Immediately solid

the portion containing the accumulation
of solid air could. be, sealed up. the other
part had. according to Sir William
Crookes' calculation, pressure amounting

With vacuum vessels for use with hydro
gen, il was. therefore, not necessary to
pump out air: it was only needful TO put
liquid hydrogen In a double-walled vessel
and it made it's own vacuum by solidifying
the air between the two walls.

Call on National Conscience.
editor of the Eagle:

| To the Editor of the Eagle:
| The present year, from April l, 1898, to
! April l, 1899, demonstrated two things for
US. In war we are invincibe and in "in-
vestigation'' we are ridiculous.
For instance, when it is stated on the
witness stand by the former head of the
commissary department that a ration was
found hiatt was oalatable and in every
way satisfactory. 5ut was discontinued be-
cause it cost a few cents more than some
thing else that was both unsatisfactory
and innutritious, if nothing else.
Can such things be focts or only echoes
from the Wichita Liar?"
Every laboring man in Kansas can buy
this or better for his family, and are we
then such nation of paupers or so mig
Sardly that we refused to feed the men
who facing that awful sheet of fame and
leaving a trail of blood behind them,
swept up that hill of fire to such a victory g.?
Can not the press, which is potent in
peace for right and justice a sthe sword is
in war, take up this matter and by re-
fecting the conscience of the people make
such a thing impossible again. For if
there is just one soldier who lost his life
in the Cuban campaign whose death was
even contributed to in this way, his bones
as they lie whitening, are an everlasting
monument of shame to nation that made
war for humanity's sake? OTTERIST.

It IS UNTANGLED
Mr. Tominson VIII at Last
Receive His Discharge.
STRAIGHTENED IN CUBA
Signs Muster Roll and Sends
1t In and viii be Let Out.

George P Tomlinson of this city has
been relieved Of a great strain by the cor
recting of an army mistake which caused
him much worry. as it would anyone.
As related some weeks ago in the Eagle,
through a clerical error the government
lost track of Tomlinson, VINO was a volun-
teer and afterward finding him in Wichita
notified him that he was virtually a de-
serter.
The government has just acknowledged
its error to Tomlinson and he viii soon
be discharged, much TO his JOY.
Tomlinson enlisted from Wichita on Sep
TENDER 2, 1888. George p. Thomas, which
meant George 2. Tomlinson, was trans
ferred to the L. S. volunteer signal corps.
Yesterday Mr.. Tomiinson received from
Adatanzas, Cuba, a letter from Frank Ly-
man, Jr., captain of the L. S. signal corps,
commanding company Twelve, which .et-
ter explained the clerical mistake Of
changing Tomlinson TO Thomas.
Mr.. Tomlinson received the muster roll,
signed il and sent it in. He Will soon get
his pay and his discharge.
In the great movement Of an army his
name was changed and he was practically
trying to do the identity OF two men on
the rolls and as that was impossible, the
mistake was discovered sooner or later.
He was in the Eagle office yesterday and
expressed himself as CAD that the whole
thing had been untangled 50 satisfactorily.
An interesting thing about the letter re
ceived from Cuba yesterday is that it con-
tains a surcharged United States 2-cent
stamp. The letter was only six days reach
ing Wichita from Matanzas
