woRsHIPERs OF THE DOLLARS.
Criticisms of n Britisher who Worked
the American Public.

New York World.
Returning to England with his lean pock-
cts bullying with American greenbacks, Ian
Maclaren attests his British loyalty by de-
scribing us of the United States as 'mer-
cenary to a repulsive degree
How sad and yet how true! Instead OF
retiring to cultivate the higher instincts so
charmingly illustrated by Ian Maclaren's
expression Of appreciation, the coarse
minded and mercenary American continues
at work, %enriching the world with the fruits
Of his labor, preferring the useful to the
ornamental, the practical to the ideal,
rather wearing out than rusting out, and
quite unconcerned as to the estimate that
may be passed on him by critics of the
limited perceptions Of the Scotch story
writer.
II it Is sad that in an industrial age the
American should prefer to be a captain of
industry rather than a critic or a censor
of others who work, the situation is not
without its compensations. While the fe-
verish energy of American endeavor has FED
the world up to a condition of we'll being
never known before, our devotion to practi-
cal pursuits has not harmed or impeded our
progress in higher things.
When we turn from the mercenary though
not repulsive aspects OF trade,
and industry generally to contemplate the
higher interests Of learning, OF philan-
thropy, Of culture, We do not find these in
terests suffering. On the contrary, from an
along the line We hear the same report OF
growth and gain and progress and rich and
ripe results-all much helped and furthered
by the munificence of those mercenary
Americans whom our British censor finds
"repulsive," but whose gifts for education,
for religion, for art, for charity and other
public purposes are lavished with n bounty
which the history of the world has never
known in any former age or other ma
ton.
If the American people are to be put on
trial as worshipers OF the dollar we guess
that they will be able to stand the test.

LIQUID AIR AS A FORCE.
Possibilities of Putting IL to Prac.
aicPI Ises.

= VI "s''
ticrI Uses.
Baltimore American.
The possibility of putting liquid air TO
practical uses is engaging the attention Of
scientific men at present. Two inventors in
New York claim TO have worked out the
details of manufacture in such a way that
the cost OF the liquid will be so low that II
the expectations are realized it's application
will become general. They expect to make
liquid air at a cost of 2k cents a gallon,
which will be equal In energy 10 one and e
half horse power operating for one hour.
An equal amount OF steam power would
cost ~ cents, but there are certain ele-
ments, it is claimed, among which is por-
liability, that will make liquid air superior
to steam for practical purposes. When
liquid air was first made The cost was over
81. 900 a gallon.
The problem OF the safety OF liquid air.
one OF the most important connected with
It, the inventors claim to have solved. A
practical test under rigorous conditions
must Of course be made before 1t can hope
to be accepted. This latter objection was
formerly made to compressed air, but com
pressed air Is now used safely for various
purposes. If the expectations of these and
other scientific men who are working along
the same line are realized, among the most
important applications of liquid air for mo
tive power will be for propelling street cars.
The advantage OF every car carrying with
1t pOwer for propulsion would be such that
its adoption would be swift. Electricity is
a good agent for this purpose, but as yet
storage batteries are too expensive. There
is a wide field for the discovery and use
OF a cheap agent in the movement of We
hicles and machinery of all kinds. Case
line, petroleum and steam are now doing
for automobiles what was undreamed OF a
few years ago. The questions Of safety and
cost are the two chief determining elements
in all applications OF force to do work. 1t
is probable that these questions will be
speedily settled one way or the other.

The danger from defective electric

risks. 1t is also well known that those

cyclones are the devilish work of an I'M
