which indicated the easy product ion of one gallon minute at full load. This quantity is the amount which the inventors had predicted in advance as the output of the machine. During the experimental run the average pressure maintain ed in the compressor was 500 pounds, while at full load the pressure to be carried is 2,000 pounds. When the success of the plant was evident, the men em- ployed in the factory went wild with enthusiasm, took Mir. Oster- gren upon their shoulders and carried him around the works in triumph. We expect to present to our readers in an early issue a full and illustrated account of the plant, with details of the process employed.

AMERICA WILL FURNISH THE
 AUTOMOBILES.

There is nothing more certain in the whole range of mechanical achievement than that the automo- bile has come to stay. The people are ready for it and have already evinced their willingness to patro- nize it in any form in which it may be offered, both as q public con- veyance and as a private pleasure vehicle.
 On Wednesday, while the people of New York were witnessing a parade of half hundred electric automobiles from Madison Square garden to Grants tomb, aChicago liveryman was experimenting with the first electric cab ever put into service in Chicago. Four visitors to the city hired the cab and traversed nearly thirty miles of parks and boulevards. The cab didn't stop at every watering trough, neither did 1t stand on its hind legs every time bicycle ap- preached. The liveryman, in fact, was so we'll pleased with his first days experiment that he ordered two more electric cabs before the day was ended. Chicago Times Herald.

OF SHORT DURATION.

There is much more than trust prices involved Tn the growth of trusts. Their power means the destruction of American free dom. St Louis Post Dispatch.
 Quite true perhaps, but only for a brief period of time. Aside from the fact that the American people will not submit to slavery very long after the chains become visable, and the hand forging them can be seen, the further fact is being demonstrated that the trusts will prove to be self de- stroying. It will only be a short time until many of the small trusts being formed will either be swallowed up by the larger ones or be compelled to appeal to the people for help, and then the days of trust as menace to American freedom will be numbered.

SERVICES NOT NEEDED.

Referring to the way trusts were curtailing expenses by dispensing with men in their employ so as to increase profits, the Texas Farm and Ranch says: ''In one day recently 300 travelling salesmen, in the employ of the tobacco houses recently combined into a trust, were discharged by tele- graph, wherever they happened to be without transportation. The brief sentence, Service no longer required settled the whole busi- ness. The trust is master of the situation" No comment is needed.

PRODUCTION OF LIQUID AIR.

Since the discovery, or more properly, the invention of q machine for the manufacture of liquid air by Prof. Tripler we have given our readers occasional ac- counts of its wonderful properties and possibilities. These have been so unusual and startling that all have doubted, and many, including some scientists have denied that it could be manufactured and used as claimed. The Scientific American for June 3, refers edi- torially to Mir. Tripler and his invention, and gives the following account of the successful operation of new plant for the manufacture of the product:
 .The General Liquid Air and Kefrigerating Company, of New York, has been for several months erecting a plant in New York City, which is now pra ctically complete. The apparatus is upon a scale suitable to be operated by steam engine of POO horse power. The liquefying apparatus is the in- vention of Messrs Ostergren and Burger, the engineers of the company. The first experimental run was made on May 25, and re- suited in complete success. The liquid air is said to have poured from the discharge pipe at rate

THE DANGER FRon TRUSTS.

No one individual or paper can hope or expect to do much to pre- vent the organization of trusts or protect the people from being robbed and plundered by them yet it is clearly the right and duty of every one to sound the alarm and help organize the people in self defence and for a proper adjust ment of affairs. 1t appears that at this time leaders and news papers of all political colors are combining in warning the people of the danger that threatens from the rapid formation of trusts, and even the church is joining in the movement as shown by the follow Ing report taken from St Louis paper:
 The General Synod of the Reformed Church closed its session at Tiffin, O.. by adopting report on ''the danger to be apprehended from certain agencies which are slowly but surely revolutionizing the entire social fabric, the absorption of the wealth of the country in the hands of the few; the steady enlargement of the poorer classes of people and the gradual diminution of a prosperous and happy middle class, the hope of every thriv- ing state. The report further affirmed that the tendency was to make life "a burden of despair to the many and a material paradise to the few"
 We have recently quoted from the editorial columns of the New York Journal upon this subject and next now quote very sig nifcant warning put out by the New York Tribune which Is popularly supposed to be pub lished very largely in the interest of corporate wealth. Comment ing on the growth of trusts the Tribune says:
 Here is the obvious and significant fact, that the capitalization of these corporations formed in only four months and in only one state is con siderably greater than the amount of all the money-gold, silver, green backs and bank notes-in circulation in the whole country. We have said that their aggregate capitalization was more than Sl, 800, ,00o, ,0O0, and there is less than s1, 400. 900, GOO in circulation. So that if an attempt had been made to pay in cash, in full, there would not have been enough money in the whole United States to do it. And these corporations are only few of those that have been formed and that are being formed. Of course, no attempt was made to pay in the capital in full. There was no intention to do so. We may say. indeed, that there was no need of it, because lands, buildings, patents, good will and other assets may often figure largely, and with entire propriety, as capital But mak. ing the most liberal estimate of these latter elements, the conclusion is inevitable that large part, the major part, of that enormous capitalization is not paid in, is not represented by as sets, but exists only on paper. We noted the other day the case of a concern that had been incorporated with several millions capital, of which not so many thousands had actually been paii in. That is not capitalization. It is mere speculation
 When papers like the New York Journal and Tribune sound the alarm it shows that the sentiment existing and being formed against trusts IS not confined to any one political party or one section of country.
