LECTURE ON LIQUID AIR.
Wonders of This New Product of Sci
ence illustrated.

The wonders of that truly marvellous
substance, liquihed air, were shown for
the first time in this city last evening,
when Professor Arthur L. Rice, Of
Pratt institute, Brooklyn, delivered an
intensely interesting lecture in the
board of trade rooms before the Scran-
ton Engineers club on "The Compress
sion. and Liquefactlon of Gases with
Especial Reference to Liquid Air"
A five-gallon measure of the liquid
was used in giving practical expert
ments, showing its wonderful prop
critics. Tin vessels were rendered so
brittle by immersion in the liquid that
they shattered to pieces when dropped
on the floor. The heretofore considered
impossible process of freezing mercury
into solid mass was shown, and the
explosive quality of the liquid was also
illustrated.
The lecture was largely attended and
thoroughly fascinated those present.
