FROZEN WONDERS.
Prof. W. c. Peokham to Lecture on Mys-
terIes Of LIQUID Air.

The honor of producing liquid air
cheaply and in sufficient quantities
for public experiment, belongs to an
American, Charles E. Tripler of New
York city. If liquid air can be con-
fined and economically used as power
it will produce a revolution in econ
omics greater than the discoveryAof the
Philosophers stone" WHICH was sup
posed to turn all metals into gold.
A few barrels of liquid air would run
an ocean steamer. Think of the possi-
bilities when the coal bunkers and
sweltering boilers and smoke stacks are
made way with. Liquid air can be
bought in the market today at about
Sc per gallon, and in that gallon lie I'M
told possibilities, if someone can dis
cover any engine to use 1t.
Nearly 200 years ago Fahrenheit
mixed salt and ice together, and sup
posed he had taken all the heat out of
mercury. This he named zero, and our
common thermometers register from
this point Since his day, however,
mercury has been frozen at SO degrees
below zero, and by the means of liquid
air a Temperature of some $50 degrees
below zero has been produced.
Prof. William Clark Peckham, A. M,
who wrote the article in the April Cen
fury, which has been widely read and
commented on, will lecture in Mechan-
les hall on Friday April rs. He
starts from New York with six gallons
of LIQUID air in a double milk can, and,
if attended with good luck, not more
than two gallons will evaporate before
reaching here. Prof. Peckham is an
able lecturer and will perform expert
ments which seem marvellous. A Kettle
of LIQUID air, set on a cake Of ice, boils
flriously. for the ice is as much hotter
than the air (Which boils at minus. Sl2
degrees) as our kitchen range is hot
fer tlan the water in the kettle. Mer-
curry is frozen into a solid, and lead
becomes elastic at this low tempera-
ture. When men who are still young
were in college they were told that
there were several permanent gases,
oxygen, nitrogen, etc, but at the pres
ent time every gas. known has been IL
Quilted. The commercial production OF
liquid air is the greatest triumph Of
science, and a demonstration py suen
an able man as Prof. Peckham will be
we'll worth attending.

IN THE NICK OF TIME.
Mrs. Edward Lindsey and
Child Saved From
Flames.

A cottage house at 80 Fales street,
Greendale. owned by Edward Lindsey,
was burned to the ground yesterday
morning, and Mr.. Lindsey and his wife
and one child got out of the house in
the nick of time.
The fire was caused by defective
f1ue in the chimney and the smoke
awakened Mr.. Lindsey, who gave the
alarm after awakening the remaining
members of his family The Prescott
street engine was the first to arrive
on the scene, and got line Of hose
hitched on to the only hydrant in the
vicinity and kept a steady stream
pouring into the burning building
There was not enough water to extin-
guish the fire, and the department was
obliged to wait until the house burned
to the ground.
The alarm was rung in at l o'clock,
and the recall was not sounded until
long after s.

FIGHT TO A FINISH.
City Will Contest Kettle
Brook Cases to the
Bitter End.

Mayor Rufus B. Dodge, Jr., said yes
terday that of course the city would
fight the Kettle brook cases This re-
fleets the feeling of the city and the
Kettle brook petitioners will again
meet the city. City Solicitor Arthur P.
Rugg will again have with him Col.
w. 8. r. Hopkins in connection with
the cases that may come to trial, al
though it is improbable that Senator
Hoar who represented the interests of
the city before the Bumpus commits
sion, will appear further in the cases.
Yestti day the formal notices of APP
peal from the decision of the Kettle
brook commission, with claim for jury
trial, were filed in the superior court
by Blackmer & Vaughan and
Frank P. Goulding as general
counsel for the petitioners. Charles
NJ Rice, of Rice, King & Rice,
who appear for some of the interested
Kettle brook parties, said yesterday
that they would file their notices dur
ing TIE week AS there are over SO
different suits, the list is formidable,
and if the cases come to jury trial, as
is now allowed there will have to be a
special sitting Of the court or the gem
eral docket will be blocked so that gem
eral business will have to be suspend
cd.
With the trial of the cases the city
will press to full advantage the point
of the city's claim for credit for the re-
turn Ct water through the sewers into
the river The counsel for the petit
toners have intimated that there might
he some agreement upon facts of the
cases, which would greatly decrease
the completely, but whether the city of
Worcester and the petitioners can
agree upon the basis facts of the Ket-
tie brool seizure is another question.
AS long as the petitioners have APP
pealed, the city is willing to take the
bull by the horns and fight the cases
