He has no mystery" no secret process, no in

IT Is 4 FACT that from a purely practical
standpoint the most important Of liquid air is
motive power.
IT Is FACT that as such power it will save
millions of dollars TO the world every year
1T Is A FACT that as a refrigersut it is the
most valuable discovery ever made for the health
and profit OF mankind.
1T Is A FACT that as such refrigerant il will
save additional millions OF dollars 10 the world
every year.
A single instance in each case will suffice to
prove every claim made for il either power or
reirigerant
THE kCuNoMY OF LIQUID AIR AS AN INITIAL
FORCE in running machinery may be illus
tTated by taking the cost OF operating fast
ocodn steamship, Cacefui calculation shows
that such ship can e run with liquid air
the round trip at a cost of s1O,500, saving
onehah the expense OF coal. Further OF
these vessels consumes 900 tons OF coal the
round trip taking UP $500 tons of cargo
space, which space Is worth $500 per ton;
and this space, saved by the OF liquid
air, would earn sl7;500 additional, making
total gain TO the ship owners OF $4,000 the
round trip. Allowing each vessel to make
but eleven round trips per year, the total an
nual profit on each is over S3c0,oO0. Reckon
ing Jne entire number of such ships in
vice only 30, there is saving or gain on
them alone OF SIS 600 every year by the
use OF liquid air power.
As REFRlGERANT, take its adaptation TO the
cars bringing fruit from California TO the
East. At present each requires Ave tons
of ice, costing SIS for the trip. and these
five tons the freight charges are Sl25, or an
Ions of liquid air will give the amount
of refrigeration (and far better, producing no
moistuie), at cost of 2.15, at the same
time releasing five tons OF freight space used
for ice. Liquid air thus not only the
SlS7.25 for ice and freight charges, but
ables the shipper to use for the fruit space
formerly occupied by the ice. Thus on The
10000 cars employed in this traffic there
is actual annual saving of S1,3T2. 500, and
in addition there may be shipped 5000 more
tons of fruit from which to derive a profit
And the transportstione of fruit is but one
small item in the long list of refrigerstFg
employments which are estimated to demand
in the United States alone an expenditure of
slj0.00O, coo per annriin.
NEW YORK CITY'S COAL BILL
100000 tons Of coal are burned in the city OF
New York alone every year! The use of LIQUID
air will efec, saving Of not less than Is per cent
OF this expense. Surprising that coal costs but
S. 90 per ton, there IL a. saving Of ssh 900 900 90
in the consumption ofsfuelA in one single city OF
the world, which is effected by the use Of liquid
air, and will add an. enormous amount to the
earnings OF III, Tripler Liquid Air Co.
LIQUID AIR is scientific dream. but an ac-
complshei fact. Until Mr.. Tripler was able to
reduce It's cost 10 nominal figure, and demon
strste its practical application, it justly re-
gsrded merely expensive philosophical toy.
Today 1t is commercial factor, an economic,
concentrated force, capable Of practical use. 1t
is drawn from the inexhan.tible reservoir OF the
atmosphere. There is with il waste, no dirt
no refuse. Clean. healthy efficient and cheap
liquid air is destined to occupy the mos: prom
world; and it mesns literally and absolutely hun
drtds OF millions of dollars saved annually 10 the
world-with untold millions in profits TO its pro-
ducers and controllers.
