Liquid Air mt Retail.

There is something alluring, particularly
during the hot weather nov prevailing,
about the proposition to manufacture
liquid air for general sale to housekeepers
and others for refrigeraring purposes The
uses to which so convenient cooling
agency could be put numerous 1t
might be set in a tumbler in a corner of
a room and double discount the average
electric fan in forcing down the thermo-
meter. 1t might be run in pipes through
out building and so combat the heat by
wholesale. 1t is asserted that a single pint
of this liquid left uncorked in a container
In a refrigerator will preserve a large
quantity of food materials for hours dur
ing the hottest weather. As far as DOS
sible it has been compared directly with
ice as refrigerating agent, many times
to the disadvantage of the solid congela-
ton The success OF the liquid air enter
prise would clearly revolutionize the ice

to a measuring cup. His great numbering
wagon would BE- replaced by tank cart.
His scales and hook hanging dangerously
out behind the vehicle, wherein to impale
venturesome youngsters, would yield to
spigot. No chopping into five and ten
cent pieces for modest establishments, no
splintering of fragments of ice along the
way for the delectation of the gamins, no
disputes with the servants as to the hon.
esty of the delivery, no sawdust to get into
the ice pitcher and annoy the thirsty
drinker. The march of science destroys
many pleasant traditions, but always to
the advantage of humanity. The building
up OF artificial conditions continues.
Whereas few score of years ago man
lived, very ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to his
lights-without ice water refrigerators
or mechanical fans, he now looks forward
with Impotence to the coming of this new
cooler, which will further enable him to
fight the untoward conditions of nature
and give him mastery over his discomforts.
There is no limiting his mechanical hopes.
When he has acquired wings he will
doubtless seek for fins.

When the weather's too warm for your
usual work,
There is plenty beside you can do:
You can go to the shore where the sea-
serpentS Turk
And the airships sail high in the blue,
Or, If you don't chance to arrive on the
day
When these wonderful creatures abound
You can read all about them and go on
your way
Rejoicing in knowledge profound
When weather is sultry, then marvels ap-
pear;
The monkeys in Africa speak;
Inventors come forth with their theories
queer
To startle US week after week
And you, favored mortal, enjoy the display
With pity you never recall
The overworked chap in his den far away
Who has to imagine them all.

The Fight ON Mr. AltEeld.

The effort to induce Mr. Bryan to break

Alteration of ''Matchless Leader"

The Pennsylvania democrats yesterday in
convention assembled, prefaced their plat
form with warm appreciation of Mr.. Bryan
as the matches leader of the democra-
cy. Without particularizing, the platform
declared the allegiance of the Pennsylvania
democrats to the free silver doctrine, by
proclaiming continued faith in all the prin-
ciples which have heretofore been enun-
ciated at the national conventions of the
party. This creates a magnificent sweep
of traditional tenets. At the same time it
leaves the door ajar for any future decla-
rations on the subject Of some of the things
which have never yet been expressly con-
demned or approved in democratic plat
forms in the past. Hosting the Bryan ban
ner, however, the democratic schooner of
Pennsylvania can cOurageously sail into
any sea, serene in the confidence that he
will be the next nominee and that he will
carry with him into the campaign practi-
cally all that he today represents in the
way of doctrines. In view of the fact that
Pennsylvania is not expected to contribute
a single vote to the electoral strength of
the next democratic candidate for the presi-
dency the announcements by its democracy
on national issues are not of vital conse-
quence, anyhow.

Richard T.. Bland,
From tn, Louisville Courier Journal

He was the honest leader of the silver
idea when conditions were such that there
were few who did not believe that it was
practicable. Later he was almost the only
leader of that cause when it seemed hope
less and when his fidelity to it was above
all personal and even party considerations.
In 1896, when the question became the
dc minant issue, he was showed aside by the
camp, followers who joined in the cry of
silver because it gave them a chance for
the first time in their lives to go to the
front, and who have since made silver fe-
tichlsm the test of party fealty, not be-
cause they know or care anything about
silver, but because upon the continued agi-
tation of that question depends their own
little leadership.

ROCKVILLE CENTRE. /. l., Jan. 28.-After as
sisting in rescuing his wife and four children
from their burning home at an early hour Friday

and Kitty, 5 years old. They lived in an old

almosta century.
Shortly after 3 O'Clock Friday morning the
household was aroused by ono Of the children
rushing through the sleeping rooms crying out
at the top Of her voice: oh. the house is. on
fire! The house Is on flre!" With the aid OF
his two eldest sons, Brown. got his family all in
one room looking toward the barn. His eldest
son, James. thought OF a ladder in the barn, and
volunteered to drop out Of the window and get
1t. Hobbling along the frozen ground with cut
and bleeding feet, he burst open the, barn
doors. and In 6. few moments had the ladder
against the blazing house. and Mrs. Brown and
her younger children were assisted down.
Brown was the last to leave. Flames and

disturbance than It is now in the country,
where the cocks will crow and the chickens will
cackle. Look ahead ten years with these few
improvements and see what a delightful city
New York will be to live in.
In addition to all this there will come ~inevita-
bly, n reduction In cab fare. 1t is also more
than probable that there will be many omnibus
and stage lines. One is already proposed. The
motive power Of the Fifth avenue line is TO be
changed. II the change there is successfully
accomplished there is no reason why similar
lines should not be established in other parts
OF the city--lines from Wall street. for instance,
TO Brooklyn or to anywhere else: lines from tho
various ferries to every part Of the city and
from oil the railroad stations and all the trade
and shopping centres. The possibilities In this
line are simply bewildering. II passenger
carrying horseless stages are practicable, It
might even be possible to substitute them en-
tirely for street railways. or what use would
tracks be II vehicles could get along as we'll
without them 1t would be Just as we'll, how

less public profanity In the city by half.
In addition to the greater ease there will be
in getting around town. IL will be possible to
get around town more quickly. The horseless
cabs in use now go twice as fast as the cabs
drawn by horses. On the night of the sharkey-
Mccoy fight three men who were in n hurry to
