ventions, devices and appliances for the produc-
tfon and practical utilization of liquid air; 1t
likewise controls all the foreign patents-THE
ONLY ONES EVER GRANTED-for England
Frsnce. Germany, Austria. Canada. Mexico and
Australia.
By these devices it is manufacturing using
Ind selling liquid air. 1t is running engines by
the use of liquid air the sole motive power
thereby demonstrating by FACT that liquid air
is commercial factor, not q theory or a phile-
sophical toy.
The saving by its power and as a
refrgerant will amount to literally hundreds Of

General Wood VIII Make Them Pay
Their Share.
from havana says:

A dlSpatch from Havana sayS:
Governor General Wood has recently had
interviews with persons of influence, who
had strenuously urged the taxation of val
liable properties, rather than each bag of
sugar as it is manufactured. Those who
hold this view contend that under the pres
ent system impediments are thrown In the
way OF production. They point out that
many valuable estates have been lying idle
and unproductive for years, some even hav-
ing complete sugar plants.
The owners. who are rich men, are living
in Paris, Madrid and other European cities,
quite untaxed for their property in Cuba
Gen. Wood feels that If these properties
are taxed their owners will be forced either
to sell them or to make them productive.

Day in Jail.

Frank TALLY was arraigned in the Police
Court this morning on a charge of violating
the gambling law. 1t was alleged that he
conducted a game of poker in his room in
the Owen House last night. Attorney John

and the court imposed sentence Of enc
day in Jail and a fine Of $50. This penalty,
Prosecuting Mullowny said, was satisfac-

than for gain.

A National Cash Register was beaten

Virginian-P Pilot, were there to witness
the contest.
The contest was between experts. one

the National Cash Register. Mr.. Hin

Mr.. Beaver stated that he had in

lie accomplished that by inviting the
spectators to use it in the same man
ner as it is used in retail stores. One
OF ,hem touched the keys of the reg
lister so as TO make it ring for differ
ent amounts to $3.50. Unlocking the
machine there was the amount correct
~ stated in the register. That was ac-
cepted as proof that the machine was
in its normal working condition. Sew
eral other tests of the same kind con
firmed that.
Then Mr.. Beaver, the owner, reset
the machine TO zero, and another Oper-
ton showed that amount correctly in
dicated and added. Therefore, there
should have been 70 cents in currency
in the till. So there would have been,
but Mr.. Nipple demonstrated his skill
ana exposed the machines weakness by
subtracting from that till the register
showed zero, again indicating that nc

roprietor stepped out of the store for
few minutes. During that time act
lng on the presumption that customers
had come in and bought various
amounts. which the register showed
truthiully to the customer, but which
had been deducted by the clerk, so that
when the proprietor returned the 20
cents was still indicated. The sums
had been deducted from the adding
wheels so that 1t was impossible for
the proprietor to suspect that the clerk
had been robbing. or that the honest
looking machine was false.
Still another feat of Mr.. Nipple, who
is Il very clever operator, was that of
showing the amount of 80 cents. To
this he added ten sales. Each time,
however, there was a subtraction till
the amount was entirely subtracted,
so that while the adding wheels showed
nothing 50 had been indicated.
y still more difficult feat was that of
making the detail strip falsify itself.
Now, the detail strip is an afterthought

piece of bent wire. He inserted this
wire in one of the slots where the keys
move. With this he held one of the
levers and thus made the machine add
