III wasn't so very long ago that the
general run OF folk first heard of liquid
air. Then II was a scientific curiosity
and the producers of it had no hope of
its becoming of value outside the lab
oratory because they could think OF no
way that IL could be produced except
upon a most costly scale. IL was esti-
mated that a quart OF IL cost $2500 To-
day IL is said that liquid air can be
produced by new plant just set up i'm
New York at the rate Of 1900 gallons a
day at a cost of 5 or cents a gallon.
It's possible uses were readily recog-
nized by the scientists who first pro-
duced II to be of a great variety and
immense Importance. but that IL could
ever become a practical agent seemed
out of the question because Of its cost.
But IL seems likely that the develop
ment of LIQUID air processes may now
be even more rapid and marvellous than
the development OF electricity has been.
The problem OF commercial production
and cost being SO quickly solved. that
of the application of liquid air, il is fair
to suppose, will proceed at lively clip.

BELLAIRE.
Budget of News Items from the Bel
mont County metropolis.

If Bellaire wants the Republican
Congressional convention. now is the
time to make the proper effort. 1t is
understood the Belmont county COM
mitteeman has been conceded the privi-
lege OF bringing the convention to Mar
tins Ferry, but in view of the feeling
up there, he may be induced to name
Bellaire. Some of the Martins Ferry
Republicans appear to think the town
is hardly prepared for entertaining the
large crowd certain to be IN attend
ance, but there can be no question OF
this raised against Bellaire. The con-
vention would be boon to the hotels
and kindred interests here and the
presence of such a notable gathering
would rebound to the welfare OF the
city in other ways. A committee COM
posed of influential citizens and poll
ticians should go up to Martins Ferry
tomorrow and do what they can to
bring the meeting here. The effort will
cost nothing if it doesn't prove sue
cessfuI. 1ne convention would DOUBT
less bring between six and eight hun
dred people here and it is not likely
they would get away under two or
three days.

Margherita Arlina Hamm. the we'll

in China upon the wife, or rather the
wives, of a great Mandarin. Her visit
partook of the nature of a festival, so
novel was the experience to the Chinese
women. whose lives are passed almost
entirely within the walls of the yamen.
They examined her clothing. and We're
partly pleased and partly astonished at
it. They were shocked by her shoes, and
especially by the fact that her feet were
not confined by bindings.
Finally, relates the Philadelphia Post,
one of them said. through the interpre-
ter: ''You car walk and run just as well
as a man."
