The 'antis" cannot understand the
readiness with which the young men
have enlisted for the suppression of
the insurrection in the Philippines.
Worse than that is their trouble over
the veterans Of the war in Cuba, who
have re-enlistesd in large numbers and
are now off for Luzon by the thou
sands. The trouble with the "antis"
is that they have not taken a correct
measure Of AInericanism. Their yard
stick is too short for ascertainment of
the stature of a real, fully developed

THE TRUTH ABOUT LIQUID
AIR.

The new discovery. liquid air. has
caustie criticism and some very sharp
passages between scientists. One lot
contends that the liquid air may be
converted into a motor force. An
declare that by its use power can be
made to reproduce itself with very lit
tie of the agency of man. The other
group declare that such an assertion is
idiotic and stands abreast with the
perpetual motion theory.
Recently in the Forum" Professor
Hall had a paper the inference of
which is that liquid air is not valu-
able for the purposes of motive power.
To this charge Stephen H. Emmens in
the same magazine now replies sharp
~, declaring that a great many abb
surd stories about liquid air have been
put afioat in newspapers, and equally
just as many absurd denials of facts
concerning it. Mr.. Emmens says that
what the proponents of liquid air as an
article Of utility claim is, that when
it is spoken of as a motive force.
vehicle of motive power, it is meant
that it can be so used, but not that
il is endowed with infinite energy. nor
that it is opposed to the law of ther-
modynamies.
Mr.. Emm ems says no motor exists by
which the expansion of three. gallons
OF liquid air will produce ten gallons
no such agency can exist. and none
such has ever been proposed by. a sane
man. Mr.. Emmens is. therefore, sur
prised to- find a scientist, like Professor
Hall, accepting wild stories on that
mead, ard treating them as sober real
ity Emmens calls attention to the
1act that air as a motor is more large
~ used now than ever befol e. Com
pressed and carried in pipes it is very
common in all large cities, in. mines and
IN factories for the movem ent Of ma
chinery. When liquid air promo
nent speaks of that it is ast possible to
be used as a motive power. he means.
says Mr.. Emmens, that it is to be so
used as all other forms of! compressed
air are used, as it is only an advanced
form Of compressed air.
we now commonly compress to a
pressure OF, say, 1000 pounds per
square inch. for convenience OF stor-
age and transport, and then allow #
10 exparid to a much lower pressure
and to become heated in a hot wafer

II a great advantage, as to storage and
Il transport; that by expansion and heat

same Temperature and pressure as in
the o1se Of ordinary compressed air.
TF .erefore, conclud, es the essayist. if
1t is advantageous 10 use compressed
ar as a motive forcs it must be much
more so to use liquid air for the same
purpose and in the same way. This
is lucid and we trasit that it will end
the controversy ana that yellow sheets
will cease to deluges the public with ex-
trayagant yarns of the claims of the
liquid air men, as in the past. EN-
mems has stated what is clearly the
fact and that should satisfy the public
mind.

The threat of famine in Egypt is now
at full tide. The latest dispatches say
that the Nile is at the lowest point ever
recorded and is still falling. The be-
lief is therefore pretty we'll grounded
that suffering will follow a drouth of
such character as now impends. 1t is
probable, however, that the reserve
supplies of Egypt will prevent such dis
tress as prevails in Russia where there
is no abatement of famine conditions.
In India the prevailing drouth in four
great districts threatens the standing
crops and foreshadows a famine period
also. But if the needed rains come
they have been now SO long delayed
that the season will be recorded as one
of failure, so that If there is not ex-
tended great suffering there will GER
tainly be no breadstuffs for exporta-
ton. Both the Egyptian and the En-
glish Governments are so we'll equipped
that there will in neither country be
that degree Of suffering that would re-
suit from drouth without Government
stores on hand in abundance if not in
sufficient plenty. But that there is
going to be no surplus in either Russia
and Egypt and about one-half of India
is fair to assume.

sure typical Coney Islander must
not feel. for to him it is all the same thing

upon so lightly, and nothing counts for
anything as long as the band plays.
On the pier however. where one party
was waiting for the New York ferry, a
vigorous young football player touched his
companion on his shoulder: I'VE will never
reach the boat If we allow this. crowd to
get on first" he said. He was a tall. ath-
letic young fellow, who 1 think, like Dan
Daily in the "Rounders," had tried every
thing and found nothing in it. 'T am going
to buck CENTRE" he said and made dive
through the crowd. But a woman. with
an Irish face reached out her arms, and
in rather unconsplmentary terms gave
him her blessing. The woman's compan-
ion. man with a Cyrano de Bergerac
nose turned scarlet face toward the
footballist and the woman evidently re-
calling police courts gave her companion
a great slap in the face.

this she gave him series of blows over
his head. while he protested that he was

very vigorous fight on one side, and very
comical. 1t gave promise of being a SEN

cause of 1t all, an9-wfho wasn't laundering
