WONDERS OF LIQUID AIR.
Prof. PecI.han, Gives Some Demon
situations of Its Power.

The lecture delivered last night by Prof
William Clark Peckham, of Adelphia Col
lege. Brooklyn. under the auspices of the
Yourg Mems Christian Association, drew a
large audience to the Congregational
Church. The theme of the lecture was
Liquid Air Practical demonstrations
accompanied the lecture and brought be-
fore the eyes of the audience the many
wonderful and almost mysterious proper
ties of the subject.
In explaining how liquid air is made
Prof. Peckham said the reduction OF al
mcspheric air TO a liquid form is induced
by compression and the application of In
tense cold. The actual cost of liquid air
is about 30 cents per gallon, and its sells
at s. a gallon in New York. Under the
magic influence of liquid air Prof. Peckham
froze meat eggs cranberries. and rubber
balls. and broke the same with a hammer
as though they were glass. Alcohol almost
instantly froze, and when liquid air was
poured into a tImbler which was i'm
mersed in water, the same instantly formed
an icy cover around the glass. This cover
Prof Pecshom removed. and, film. the
glass with liquid air, put an electric light
carbon into it. which immediate gave
forth a brilliant light.
In comparison with the tempe 'ature of
enon was demonstrated By putting a yea
kettle. containing liquid air on block OF
ice The liquid air in the tea ':at.is rlder
the heating influence of the ice, began 10
boil.
Prof. Peckham said that liquid air. as a
power. is stronger than dynamite and 100
times as powerful as steam. He said that
the employment Of liquid air as a refrg
orator may solve the existing problem Of
economy in the household. for il can be
made 10 produce the same results in pre-
serving perishable foods at less than half
the cost of ice. the degree of GOODNESS al
ways being under control
Air is liquefied by reducing its volume S'p
times. In evaporatlng it absorbs the same
amount of heat. pound for pound. as ice.
The eight gallons of liquid air. which
were 500 cubic feet Of New York City air.
and which we're used in the demonstration
last night. were made in New York last
Saturday. but had evapOrated down to
three gallons Prof. Peckham said liquid
air is not dangerous. It cannot explode
while it has a vent to eyaporate.

GERMAN MEAT INSPECTION.
Action of the Reichstng Concerning
II Denounced

The German meat inspection bill passed
by the Reichstag is meeting with much
opposition from the German public. United
States Vice Consul General Hanauer at
Frankfort, Germany. has written the State
Department concerning the bill He says
in part:
The Chamber OF Commerce of Hamburg
has sent petition to the Reiehstag setting
forth the damage which the resolutions
adopted BY the Meat Inspection Commits
sion. to exclude all foreign fresh and can
ned meat. sausages. etc. after 1908. will
cause not only to the importers and retail
ers of these articles but to the vast in
terests of the entire German export and
shipping classes. From Australia, Eng
land, and South America, says the petition,
come threats of reprisal. The adoption
of this bill would DE. furthermore. ex-
tremely injurious 10 the working people.
These foreign meats have never shown
health impairing qualities.
.'Aii over Germany meetings are being
held by trade bodies. manufacturing asso-
Citations. chambers OF commerce, ETC.. for
the purpose of protesting against the pas
sage of the bill. The Chamber of Com
merce of Frankfort has unanimously adopt
ed resolutions saying that its final accep-
lance would have Omtnous consequences for
wide circles Of German industries and
commerce. as well as cause a great sd-
vance in the price of a principal food ar
ticle Of the working population. The reso-
lutions do not hesitate TO affirm that this
legislative &C. is not in the slightest man
ner justified by sanitary considerations, but
actually involves the sacrifice of the in
terests OF the NEST important productive
classes OF our country for the sole and
sided benefit Of the Agrarian move
ment.
The Association of Chemical Manufac-
turers of Germany, which is part of the
central bureau for the preparation of COM
mercial treaties. yesterday convened in ex-
traordinsry meeting at Berlin, and unani
mously PASSED similar resolutions, from
which the 70 loving extract is taken: This
association holds it to be unfair and dis
loyal that under the pretence OF taking
sanitary precautions. commercial-political
measures are resorted to which encroach
on international trade relations guaran-
teed by treaties and which must injure
our relations with foreign powers. We ex-
pect our Government 10 protect all our
national interests but this can only be
efficiently done if Germany herself honest

The Davis Substitute.

Senator Davis varied the monotony of
the Porto Rican war in the Senate yes
terday by Offering a substitute for the
provides for free trade between Porto Rico
and the United States and for the raising
of revenue by the imposition of internal
revenue taxes. For this purpose Porto
Rico is made an internal revenue district
Initiating the philanthropic spirit of the
scheme it would displace, the Davis bill
contemplates the collection of a fifteen
per cent tax. and gives the President
power to decrease or abolish all such taxa
lion whenever he is satisfied that local
government has been established in the
island capable of raising and collecting
revenue adequate 10 the needs of Porto
Rican administration.
We are rather at loss to understand
exactly the scope and purpose of this new
bill. II il is intended to attract Senators
whose demand for free trade with Porto
Rico is based on their conviction that free
trade Is a Porto Rican right under the
Constitution, il VIII certainly fail because
il proposes a violation OF the Constitution
as direct as the Payne-Foraker iniquity.
II the constitutional provision that all
duties. imposts, and excuses shall be uni
form throughout the United States, is
mandatory upon Congress and the Execu-
tive. and under it they must accord the
right of free trade to Porto Rico. because
that territory is a part of the United
States, then it is equally mandatory upon
them 10 see that there shall be no dis
elimination in favor of Porto Rico against
other portions CT the American empire
as Chief Justice Marshall calls it, in the
matter OF 'imposts and excuses
In truth all this webbing around the
subject of our obligations and duties to-
ward the island and its people is unworthy
of the legislators of great nation. SEN
ator Davis is as bad as his colleagues,
Foraker and Hanna. He would give Porto
Rico free trade, not as a right, but as Il
contemptuous charity. and he would couple
that benevolence with a provision calcu-
lated TO serve notice on the Porto Ricans
that they are not freemen. but the serfs of
Congress. and which he knows perfectly
well is in clear contravention of the Con-
risy. The Porto Ricans ask for free trade,
and the great mass of American people de-
msnd it for them, because it Is their right.
They are paupers now, it is true, but they
have become so only since they came under
the flag and sovereignty of this Republic
Before the West Indian hurricane of last
year and the beginning of their oppression
under the greater misfortune of Dingley-
ism, they were prosperous, out of debt,
annually raised four million dollars of
revenue. and had four Senators and twelve
Deputies in the Spanish Cortes. Give them
their American rights today and in a
month they would be able to finance their
own affairs and in half a year recover
their lost prosperity. There is no neces-
sity for treating them as mendcants; it
is an outrage to do so.
