Prof. Tripler exhibited the effects upon
iron pipe of exploding a piece of guncot-
ton saturated with liquid air A piece of
piping two inches in diameter was blown to
fragments, although it was open at both
ends. A section of six-inch iron pipe, in
which the smaller pipe was placed for
safety, had holes blown through it, and
the iron was bent back and twisted. Elk
perts declared that no known explosive
would produce similar effects
Prof. Tripler said that although the
liquid air, when mixed with a combustible
substance and ignited, Is a high explosive,
1t is not dangerous to handle Conclusion
will not set it off, and therefore it can be
poured into a gun to form the charge, or
placed in the projecttie and shot from the
gun without danger. 1t is explosive only
when ignited by d spark. Professor Trip
Ter said that 1t would also have the advan-
tage of enabling a gun to be fired with
great rapidity without heating the metal.

COMPRISING the atmosphere and freeing it

more developing the commercial possibli-

from guns seems to be in advance of what
has been accomplished in this country
According to dispatches from Vienna
liquid air when mixed with silicious mari
and ignited by electric spark exploded with
twenty times the effect of dynamite and
when used in cannon no heat was devel-
oped and the range of the projectiles was
considerably increased.

We are opposed to any law providing
for legislature junkets for the avowed.
purpose of having members investigate
and acquaint themselves with the con6i.f
tions Of state institutions. The coming
of the law makers is always announced
in advance and when they arrive the sum
ny side of everything is shown them !;
they are wjned and dined at the expense
of the state and then after a hurried and
cursory glance through the buildings
they go home convinced that everything
is all right and ready to pass extrava-
CANT appropriation bills. The only way
to investigate those institutions is for
members to 60 there Individually orin
small committees AID stay long enough
to become familiar with the workings
and needs of the institutions they are
visiting. It is proper that the legisla-
tors should famillarize themselves with
state institutions, but the junkets on a
big scale does not serve the proper pur-
pose and /, IN our oplnlon, do more harm
than good.
