TRIPLER'S TESTS
With LIQUID AIR.

The boundless possibilities of the
twentieth century through an unlim-
tied and cheap supply ofpower to do the
work Of the world were suggested when
Professor Charles e. Tripler, OF New
York, gave an exhibition of his expert
ments with liquid air before the Ma
tional Geographic Society at the Arl-
ington, in Washington. These ex-
periments, when made, filed the com-
pany 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
80 perfected as to revolutionize present
methods Of doing many things, If the
expectations now entertained in regard
to them sshall be- eventually realized.
Mr.. Tripisr began his exhibition by

States were secured by Herper h
Brothers, and the book throughout
America is considered the most valua-
BILE contribution to European history
that has been made for many day.
In England it has also had sale com.
mensurate with its Importance. An
other fact of especial interest about
this book is that although it was pub
lished ON November Goth, it has al.
ready appeared in five different Ian.
guages. France did not express much
appreciation over the autobiography
of Prince Bismarck. 1t contained too
many references to Sedan, to Grave.
lotte and to the siege Of Paris for her
tender sensibilities. Russian sensi.
bilities have proved still more tender,
and the Imperial Press Censor has re.
fused Russian booksellers permission
to place the work on sale. There are
many subjects which Bismarck treats
with plain -spokenness that is most
painful to the delicately organized ear
of the Russian; for instance, Bis
marck speaks of the murder Of the
Gear Paul; the Russians speak of it
always as the Sudden demise"
1t is indeed unfortunate that tho
Iron Chancellor did not live to enjoy
the success of his book. 1t is sure
sign that throughout his misfortunes,
throughout the bitter years OF his old
age, his people still believed in him.
II is to Bismarck's credit that his au.
photography is neither pettish nor pes
simistic, and it is safe to say that the
best monument to his memory will be
hall q million copies Of his book in as
many German homes, and as many
more copies scattered throughout the
world. A man who has such monu.
ment need care hut little what marble
mausoleums are raised above his
ashes, or in what sarcophagus he
sleeps. Our illustration shows the
sarcophagus Of Prince Bismarck,
which lately arrived at Friedrichruh,
and which has been placed in the
newly built mausoleum. It is made
of pink marble from the designs of
Herr Schurbach. OF Hanover, and is in
the strictly Roman style. Its dimen-
sions are ten feet long, five broad and
iifty-one and three.quarter inches
high.

fuls of the liquid were passed around.
Fingers passed through the substance
gave sensation similar to passing
through heavy vapor, yet there was
the heavy liquid, as clea as water,
with vapor arising from it. II passed
through the liquid rapidly the hand
experienced no intensity of cold, but
if allowed to remain there few seconds
an icy chill would be experienced, and
more extended contact would freeze
the flesh and bones, until they could
be broken up with hammer, as o
brittle stone would be crushed.
The experiment of making ice over
fire was perhaps the most strikingly
illustrative of the power of liquid air.
Mr.. Tripler took kettle, filled twith
the liquid, and it began to boil. He
placed it on gas stove so that the
flame could play upon the bottom OF

international arbitration will be de-

The palace itself is artistically in
teresting. 1t was built in 1647 by the
Princess Amelie de Solmi, widow of
Prince Henri Frederic, OF Orange.
Paintings in the Orange Room are by
such great artists as Levens, Jordaens
and Van Thulden. There is an alle-
gorical picture representing his victory
over wicked temptations. There is a
Chinese and Japanese room, with
rarest works of art in them. The
walls OF the dining room are decorated
by De Wit with scenes from mythology.
Among the people who will be pres.
emit at the conference, though not as a
delegate, is the Baroness Won Suttner.
She is the author of a novel with the
title "Lay Down Your Arms" This
book is said to have had great in
fuence with the Gear in issuing Lis
Peace rescript. 1t is said, moreover,
to have been the greatest single force
with him to that end. 1t ran TIN ough
a dozen editions on the continent. and
the men of the military countries were
thoroughly familiar with it, strangely,
before it could find an English trans
lator or publisher in England.
