liquid and it burned with the glare of an
electric light, sputtering the while.
IN the process of turning to gas the nitro
gen first leaves the liquid state, so that
different effects are secured from at differ
errt periods. 1t was after the nitrogen had
become gaseous that the steel burned in
the liquid, then oxygen. The liquid oxygen
was held up in the glass by Mr.. Tripler,
who remarked that its density in that form
was 1000 times as great as it exists in the
air we breathe

water. Ice formed on ii rapidly. Ice water
thrown into it caused it to boil with in
creased Intensity. 1t was the heat in the
ice water that accelerated the liquid in its
struggle TO return to gaseous state, and
caused 1t to boil The ice water was more
intensely hot in contact with the liquid air
than Is hot water in contact with ice.
There Is no substance known to man
which retains it's liquid form under intense
cold or heat so long as mercury, and for
that reason it is the medium for measuring
heat and cold. 1t freezes at 200 degrees be-

The experiment off making lee over fire
was perhaps the most strikingly illustrative
of the power of lfauido air. Mr.. Tripler
took kettle, filledsit with the liquid. and
1t began to boil. He placed it on a gas
stove so that the flannel could play on the

The Experiments.
While this social function was in prog
ress the banquet hall was put in readiness
for an exhibition of scientific experiments
These experiments, when made, filled the
company with wonder and seemed to set
all preconceived notions regarding heat and
cold aside IN the light of knowledge that
has been acquired of late years. and which
Is rapidly being so perfected as to reyoIu-
uonize present methods of doing many
things, II the expectations now entertained
in regard to them shall be eventually real
lied
AT one side of the banquet hall, into
which the company moved, was raised
platform with tables filed with scientific
instruments. Many of these delicate instru-
ments were the most approved apparati
used by the weather bureau IN indicating
and recording atmospheric conditions. 9th
ers were for use in demonstrating the ac-
tion of liquid air under various conditions
Seats We're provided for large part of
the company Immediately in front of the
speakers platform. Prof. Bell. with brief
remarks. introduced Mr. Willis Moore
chief of the weather bureau and In a ten,
minute address. Mr.. Moore explained the
salient principles of the apparati used h,r
the service Of which he is in charge. He
was followed by Prof. Charles Il, fripler
who entertained the company for an hour
by placing liquid air under various condi
tions and giving exhibitions of degrees of
heat and cold too intense to be measured
by any method known to man, and which
can only be approximated by calculation.
Liquefied New York Air.
Back of the platform was metal reser
voir which contained between four and FIVE
gallons of liquid air. 1t was New York air
hqusfied at 10 o'clock in the morning by a
simple process discovered by Mr. Tripler.
The reservoir containing this air was sur

Frozen alcohol was another interesting
object placed before the company. An
icicle of alcohol would soon turn to a lumpy
mass, resembling soft taffy, but dipped in
the LIQUID air for but an instant it was
again as an incicle.
. The liquid air, thrown into large jar Of
water, gave a strange appearance. The
I liquid would sink, almost quite touch the
bottom of the jar, and then, as it struggled
I to resume it's gaseous state, would again
come to the top.
At the conclusion Of the exhibition Mr..
Tripler said he had heard that statement
of his to the effect that he could make ten
gallons of liquid from three gallons of air
had been questioned by some of those who
had read an account of his work in the
March number of McClure's Magazine. He
repeated this statement and said 1t could
be oroVed.
He spoke of liquid air as the great power
of the future, and said if it could b. made
to run a small engine, as he had shown to
be possible, it could be made to run a
large one. The WaSteful manner of getting
power from coal, which is merely the stored
up power of the sun, would have substi
tuted for 1t a cheap and easy method of
sec uring it through liquid air. He had had
trouble in his method of operating an en-
gine, caused by the freezing of the liquid
while in use. but he was still experiment.
ing, and research in the line of investiga-
ton he was following was in its infancy.
The audience only had a glimpse of what
might be done with liquid air.
Mr.. Triplar had a very appreciative
. audience. His work was constantly ap
piauded, and at the close of the expert
ments he was surrounded by group of in
terested people, who piled him with ques-
tions, in order to further understand the
properties of the liquid he had exhibited.
A buffet luncheon had been provided and
this occupied the assembled company until
midnight, mandolin club discoursing

the people had left, a number of couples

Especial Letter.)

Up to the present time the photo
graphs Of Gen. Gomez have not done
him Justice. In curious, persistent way
they give him an angular figure, half
desperate, careworn expression, and
age from 10 to so years. AS a matter
of fact, the insurgent leader has a
slender, erect figure. as active as a
young man. He is 60, but his face is
as smooth and free from lines as that
of man ten or fifteen years younger.
His dark eyes are bright, keen and
searching. In physical vigor Gomez
is remarkable man. But he is even
more remarkable in his forceful char
acter 1t marks his face strong and
stern In repose. but gentle, magnetic
and winning when he smiles. In self
defense, probably. Gen. Gomez recently
sat for his photograph. He could not
stand the wild, weird pictures OF him
in shop windows, that are at best carl
catures. So he had his photograph
taken a few days ago, and to protect
himself, said 1t must be copyrighted.
1t is a good picture, true and lifelike.
says the New York Tribune.
Gen. Gomez is plain and unpretend-
ing-thoroughly democratic in his
tastes. There never was at any time
the least chance in the insurgent army

by friendly natives, the whole distance
from Timbuctoo. past Say and Bussa,
to the sea, without serious accident
or loss Of life. Being a Frenchman,
the most amusing parts of his book
are devoted to descriptions of the
Negridan ladies', whom he studied
along the river banks. He was not
captivated by their beauty. Indeed,
he compares them to Durham oxen,
or negresses, who, like Englishwom-
en-, when they are ugly at all, are real
ly revoltingly ugly" The corpulent
matrons Of the Niger eagerly clad
themselves in yards upon yards of
cheap Paris velveteen, but there were
girls OF more slender make whose sole
attempt at dressing was staining their
legs to the knees with rocou or red
dye, which gives them the appearance
at a distance Of wearing nothing but
light red stockings" The gay lieu
tenant confessoJ that he was confused
as shy Englishman Mt the unwanton
sight, but one OF the reIlegged beau
ties, noticing his embarrassment, re-
marked very sensibly: Are we SO
badly made that We need hide our
selves? All in good time. When we
are old like our mothers we will wear
clothes" This frank explanation
seems, somewhat Anaccountably, to
have put the visitor at his ease. The
men folk likewise have their anus
ing traits. A declaration Of war was

that no notice was taken of him, he

with both eyes, and finally ventured
