Liquid Air and lis Possibilities.

ItuuIu All dUu 10 oSSio'''S'
The recent experiments with liquid
air and the discoveries of its uneX-
pected powers have aroused much IN
terest in scientific circles and have set
the general public to wondering What
persistent Investigators. What is liquid
air, anyway? Wei, it is air liqulfied
by being subjected to a temperature or
3l2 degrees below Fahrenheit. All
gases become liquid at certain temper
atures. and 80 is the s0-called critical
temperature" for air. This tempera-
ture is brought about by the enormous
pressure of 2000 pounds to the square
inch. and by cooling the air by passing
water over the pipe which contains IL.
1t is then allowed to expand, by means
of peculiarly constructed valve into
the space surrounding the pipe AS t
expands it is cooled and in turn coos
the air in the inner pipe. This process
is repeated three times, and the air Is
Tins reduced to a temperature of 81
degrees below zero and becomes a
liquid. All the pressure has been
taken up in the cooling process and the
LIQUID may be drawn off like water. 1t
is colorless. Liquid air may be trans
ported A gallon of it has been sent
across the continent. An ordinary
tumblerful of it will last half an hour.
In this lies the possibility of expert
menting. 1t is dangerous because Of
its tremendous power of expansion.
Under some conditions it is far more
powerful than dynamite.
Impressed by the explosive power OF
liquid air the Austrian government has
begun extensive experiments to deter
mine whether or not this great power
can be used az an explosive in large
calibered guns. The idea is to use
liquid air instead of powder, and in
case the experiments demonstrate that
it can be so used. the great problem OF
furnishing the war fleets Of the world
With ammunition will become very
simple, and millions of dollars expense
will be done away with. Liquid air
can be manufactured very cheaply, ard

room. 50 that ii war vessel could be

would he supplied forever with its own
ammunition. 1t would have the virtue
of being absolutely smokeless.
| President Morton Of the Stevens In
stitute of Technology, one of the lead
| ing scientists of the country, has just
| published a long article which does not
| take such rose-colored view Of liquid
air. While admitting that it is a Won
derful substance, he warns the public
| that it is likely to be made the basis OF
| financial frauds like the famous Keeley
motor. President Morton is a scientist
| whose standing cannot be questioned
ana now that he has spoken it is likely
that the public will go a little SLOW III
taking stock, literally or figuratively
in liquid air factories. The people
have faith in science but they are
forced to lose not a little faith in the
scientists. as they have been furnish
ing many disappointments in the past
year or two. Many truly wonderful
discoveries have been made, however
and their success is what has made the
all claims. no matter how impossible
they may be.

Reassuriag Words.

Booker 7. Washington, the distin-
guished representative and benefactor
of The negro race in this country, has
been exercising remarkable self-control
during the days that have elapsed since
the latest lynchings in the South. Re
alizing that nothing would be gained
by denunciation Of mob law, but that
on the contrary he would be likely to
handicap himself in his efforts by any
thing that he might say in condemna-
ton of the barbarity of these lynch
ings, he has refrained from discussing
them directly, and has continued TO
plead for the education and enlighten-
ment of the negro.
In one Of his latest speeches he said:
"Of the thousands Of black men edu-
Gated in the various institutions Of
different grades in the South since the
war. not one, to my knowledge, has
been charged with the crime Of as
saulting a woman. OF course, it is not
possible to put every black man in the
South through an educational or in
dustrial course of training, but it is
possible to increase educational facil-
tiles to the extent that the whole moral
and educational tone of the negro in
the South will be raised. Let US lay
the foundation Of the negro in educa
ton, property, thrift, skill and Chris
tian character. ana in the friendship
Of those among whom he lives, and all
the needs and rights of the race will. in
duo time, adjust themselves about
these essentials in a logical and natural
order"
To the many Who have begun 70
view the race problem with real alarm.
and to regard it as a source Of endless
trouble, such words from a man who
is in the best possible position TO know
whereof he speaks. at q time when il
would be natural for him to feel dis
couraged. should be reassuring. Ii
this man. who knows the condition, thu
characteristics, the Weaknesses ana
the possibilities Of his race as a think
ing. educated man knows such things
views the future Of that race hopefully
in such times as these, no one else
should regard The American race prob
lem as one dcfying solution. In his
efforts 70 bring about the enlishten-
mont ana elevation Of his people a.

have the moral support Of all, and tn
material support Of all who are abb
to give it.

Harrington people see the decline in
recent years in American shipping in
the fact that there are 50 shipmasters
in that town who have quit the seas
principally because their vessels have
been wrecked or used up and the bust
ness does not warrant the keeping up
of the fleet. In 1874 Harrington was
the most prosperous shipbuilding town
east of Bath, and at that time owned
more tonnage than any town in the
Machias or Passamaquoddy districts.
