New YORK. June s.-A Herald spe-
cial from Dover, Del. says: The liquid
air trust has filed articles OF incorpora-
ton here and paid to the secretary Of
state taxes and fees on a capital of SlO.-
100000. The articles We're filed by the
attorney Of the Delaware Corporation
company and the secretary Of state re-
fuses to divulge the names of the in
corporators. They are all Boston cap
italists. he states, and the company
will first operate in that city. The
incorporators assert that with their
liquified air they will supplant both
the coal and the ice man. They say
that a quart of the liquitied air placed
in ventilating apparatus will keep the
temperature of house at 10 degrees on
the hottest days. A central plant is to
be erected and the air served to CUSTOM
ers just as ice is served now. One gal
Ion, it is claimed, will equal ton of ice.
