Liquid Air Motors.

In dealing with the problem OF the
application OF liquid air as a source OF
motive power we are therefore doubly
handicapped. In the first place, we do
not know the cost of the liquid when
produced on the large scale; and. in the
second place, we do not know the prob
able efficiency OF liquid-air motor
say 1--WE do not know" Perhaps Mr.
Trlpler and the others engaged i'm the
experiments on this subject do knew
approximately. We certainly cannot
blame them for telling US all they
know at this stage ot the work. Ii is
unfortunate, however, that such a
statement as gas recently published in
a popular magazine should be allowed
to gain currency-apparently with the
sanction OF Mr.. Tripler. The statement
referred to is to the effect that ten gall
Ions Of liquid air have been made by
the use OF three gallons OF liquid air in
the engine. If that means that tive ten
gallons of liquid air arc made from air
at the ordinary pressure. the state
ment lis i'm direct conflict with we'll
established principles. II IL means that
the ten gallons of liquid air are made
from air that has already been partly
compressed, we must know how much
work has been done before the liquid
air engine began. Leaving out OF con-
sideration the question of cost. 1t may
be pointed out that liquid air engines
would have the advantage OF corb)aot-
ness. though they would necessarily he
heavy. as they would have to be strong
enough to stand the great pressure TO
which they would be subjected.--Apple-
tons Popular Science Monthly for May.

the crystallzed truth is at last made
clear by the report OF the court of In

able to make public the exact fact long

the conduct of its ranking officers, its

The regiment failed their division COM

JUSTICE FOR DREYFUs.
His Most Ardent Supporters Believe
There Is No Hope for Him.

Paris, Feb. 1.-The most ardent sup
porters of the theory that Dreyfus was
unjustly condemned now admit that
there is no longer the least hope that
justice will be done. A prominent
member of the University of Paris, who
from the first has been militant cham
pion of revision of the trial, says:
For SO out of 100 Frenchmen, the
guilt or innocence of Dreyfus is a mat
ter of sentiment All the reasoning in
the world would not induce them to
change their attitude. There are mil
lions of Frenchmen who VIII ms st upon
Dreyfus' guilt in spite of any proof to
the contrary. A terrible feature of the
situation is that the attitude of this
majority is dictated by motives which
they believe to be deserving of the high
est respect. l admit that some of the
DreyfuSards are much to blame for this.
The best cause may be ruined by dis
reputable adherents, and there are men
on the Dreyfus side of whom every pa
triotic Frenchman is the natural enemy.
While the majority of us have been
merely demanding that justice should
be done, q pestilent minority has made
this demand an excuse for Virulent on
slaughts on institutions we hold in great
esteem"
In conclusion he predicts that the re-
suit of the agitation will be an "On-
slaught of unparalleled violence on the
Jews, as the masses are convinced that
they are at the bottom of the whole
trouble"

INVENTION OF TELEPHONE.

In recent lecture Prof. Alexander

apparatus found that the dead mans
ear wrote down the vibrations.

L thought if / placed a delicate piece
