WONDERS OF LIQUID AIR.
Prof. PecLham 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
Young 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
mospheric air TO a liquid form is induced
by compression and the application OF In
tense cold. The actual cost Of liquid air
is about 20 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 hammer
as though they were glass. Alcohol almost
instantly froze. and when liquid air was
poured into a tumbler. which was i'm
mersed in water the same instantly formed
an icy cover around the glass. This cover
Prof. PeCEhOm removed. and, filling the
glass with liquid air. put an electric light
carbon into it, which Immediately gave
forth a brilliant light.
In comparison with the temperature Of
liquid air ice is a furnace which pheu0m-
enon was demonstrated by putting a yea
kettle containing liquid air. on a block of
ice The liquid air in the tea kettle. under
he heating influence of the ice, began TO
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 refrig-
orator may solve the existing problem Or

ever. may be foreseen By those who have
followed the history OF American literature
in the past.
During the past fifty years there has
been an immense increase ia the demand

than on the intrinsic merit Of the authors.
One thing. however may be stated with
absolute cortsinty Whatever part Of
American literature may live or die, who
ever may be the chosen ones whose names
are destined TO a half century Of immor

Senator Davis varied the monotony OF
the Porto Rican war in the Senate yes
terday by Offering a substitute for the
Payne Foraker bill. The new measure
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 ii 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
Jion whenever he is satisfied that 4 local
government has been established in the
island capable of raising and collecting
revenue adequate to the needs Of Porto
Rican administration.
We are rather al a 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 bssed on their conviction that free
trade is Porto Rican right under the
Constitution. it VIII certainly fail because
il proposes a violation Of the Constitution

tive. and under it they must accord the
right Of free trade 10 Porto Rico. because

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

an annual profit Of s92 GOO 600. But even If
we admit that the last dividend is excep-
