LIQUID AIR: SHALL WE HAVE
1T?

Doubtless the greatest fad, as they
will certainly be the greatest novelty,
in the entertainment field during the
present season will be the famous
liquid air lectures and accompanying
experiments with that wonderful fluid
Prof. Charles E. Tripler, who has
succeeded in producing liquid air in
large quantities. is at the head of a
company of capitalists which has
been organized in New York for the
purpose of developing the immense
possibilities which undoubtedly lie in
liquid air as motive power, as a cold
storage agent, as the most powerful
explosive known to mechanics and in
hundred or more uses to which both
oxygen and the nitrogen, when separ-
ated, may be applied. after having
been reduced to liquid, the tempera-
ture of which is 344 degrees colder
than ice.
In addition to the primary objects
noted above. a second company has
been formed with Prof. Tripler's sane
tion and support, the object of which
is to present in all the chief cities of
the country entertainments, consist
ing of lecture, giving history of
the progress which has been made in
liquifying air and cases up to the pre-
sent time. which is accompanied by
twenty more elaborate experiments
made by scientific men who are pro-
vided with a complete outfit of de-
monstrating apparatus and with a
barr ell of liquid air which is expressed
for the purpose direct from the Tripler
laboratories in New York city to each
city where an engagement is arranged
for.
1t goes without saying that these
lectures and demonstrations, represent
ing as they do, the most advanced
achievements of science along these
lines, appeal very strongly, not only to
those engaged in educational pursuits,
but to all minds, whether of a simply
curious or of an inquiring nature.
We understand that immense audi
ences made up of all classes of people,
have attended were ever these unique
and wonderful exhibitions have been
given, and that, so far, the engage
ments have usually been arranged
under the auspicies of colleges, boards
of trade, chamber of commerce, and
other important educational and COM
mercial bodies.
The first of series of these lectures
to be given in the northwest will be
at st. Paul on October 9th, and this
will be followed by one in each city in
this part of the country where sufi-
cient interest is shown to justify the
large expense involved.
We understand that some of our pro-
gressive citizens are taking an active
interest in the matter, and that the
indications are that Mankato, as
usual, will ''keep up with the process
sion in securing the latest and best
things which are going. A subscrip-
ton list has been placed at Parry s
store, and all who wish to help secure
this remarkable entertainment are re-
quested to leave their names there
with the number of tickets desired as
soon as possible.

Individual Operators Dispute
the Figures but Make No
Estimate.
TWO MINES ARE ABANDONED
The Philadelphia and Reading
Company Brings Mules to
the Surface. -
Some Employees Refuse to Quit,
Claiming They Have No
Grievance.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19.-The leader
of the strike says at the end of the sec
ond day that 900 of the 141, 900 mine
workers in the Anthracite coal fields are
idle. No representative of the mine
operators makes a statement for their
side of the matter, but individual mine
owners dispute the miners figures,
saying that there are more miners at
work than the union leaders will
admit.
The first advance in the price of coal
as a result of the strike was made by
the Philadelphia and Reading company,
% cents a ton being added. This ad.
vance was promptly met by the local
dealers who increased the price to con-
sumers 30 cents ton.
A cloud appears on the otherwise
peaceful horizon in the shape of re.
port from Harrisburg that bitter feel.
ing is developing between the union
and non-union men in the Lykens dis.
trict, located in the upper end of Dau-
phin county, and involving about 2,OOo
mine workers.

and Navigation company in the region
west of Mach Chaunk, who will here.

Increase in Earnings.
These men were unorganized and had
not presented any grievances.
True to it's declaration made before
the strike was ordered the Philadelphia
and Reading company has brought it's
mules to the surface in two mines near
Shamokin that had been closed by the
strike and announced that they were
permanently abandoned. This action
makes it necessary for the miners who
formerly worked in these collieries to
seek work elsewhere.
The action of the 400 or more en-.
ployes of the West End Coal company
at Mocanaqua, near Wilkesbarre, in
sticking to their work stands out promi-
nently as the busy feature of an other
wise idle territory. They say they
have no grievance, have always re-
ceived kindly treatment from their
employers and therefore resist every
effort to induce them to strike.
Father Phillips, the Catholic priest
who has been an interesting figure in
the strike both Before and after, has
made a statement to the public present
ing an argument in behalf of arbitra-
ton and urging both sides to get to-
gether.

TENANTS OF DUMPS.
Tribe In Washington More Picturesque
Than Ragpickers.


The work Of retaining the low
lands, where once stood famous Ber-
rvs row-the despair of missionaries
and the nightmare of the police-goes
merrily on, and from the city's waste
grows up, like the famed phoenix ris-
ing from its own ashes, the most
unique village ever found by an an
thropologist says the Washington
Post. Here on the bare stretch OF ashy
waste exists a tribe more picturesque
by far than the Paris ragipckers, famed
in story, and the adored model of the
amateur artist in the Latin quarter.
Right within sight of the capitol and
the historic part of Washington is the
most unique village, peopled by the
most unique inhabitants to be found
on the globe. The Digger Indians, the
Moundbuilders, nor, in fact, any of the
queer people of this or other coun-
tries, can compare with these. Their
life and their occupation prove beyond
doubt that there is use for everything
on the face of the earth, save the city
founding. A company for the promo
ton of tenement districts could not
draw quarter Of cent dividend on
the tenants of the dumps. They pay
reservation allotted to them by the
government. They just pitch their tin
houses where they like, and while the
only signal for Sunday is the cessation
Of carts and tumbledown wagons back
ing up, there Is yet profound respect
shown for the rights of each inhabit-
ant There may be no lock on the door
or fence about the yard but every man
can depend upon his pile Of scrap
iron, old bottles, rags, and so on re-
naming intact without bull dog tied
to it. There is always scurry like
unto a football contest over every load
of ashes, but once the contest is won
every fellow respects the champions
rights. No one could well calculate
the revenue from this part of the city s
waste but it is large, men, women and
children all plying the trade with a
vengeance. The men sell all that they
rescue from this source, while the wo-
men work to keep their children warm
and maybe also do laundry. The chill
dren toll back and forward, their little
backs forever bent under the burden
of the bag, or cropping and scratching
among the refuse. Many of them warm
whole families in this way, while al
most the entire colored population in
the vicinity of the dump depend upon
it for fuel.

woMAN,s SECOND GROWTH.
Her Most Beautiful and Fruitful Years
Are Late In Life.

Are Late In Life.
Since woman is in the main but
bundle of paradoxes, it is not so sur
prising to hear that a normally healthy
woman is younger, mentally and phys
ically. at so than at 40. The reason is
somewhat reconcile, but still one to
be rendered in plain words. This re-
juvenation comes from sort of sec
ond growth of nerve tissue, or, more
accurately, new arrangement OF
nerve cells, which takes place COM
monty in the decade between 80 and
As. The Encouragement is somewhat
analogous to the root-making OF a rose
or a Towering shrub. Almost every
one has noted how the riotous vitality
of the vernal impulse wreaths rose
trees in blossom up to the period OF
midsummer. Then, though the bloom
ing continues laggardly, the flowers
are poor and small, as though the tree
were tired of fashioning them and
fretful beneath the strain. By and by,
as August yields to September, the
flowers, tough they may De FEWER,
swell to more than the glory of spring.
They are truly royal, loose-leafed, long
stemmed, heavy-headed blossoms, full
of every virtue-siZe fragrance, color
and endurance. Then the gardener
tells you it is because in the height of
the warm weather the rose struck new
roots. and is full OF the rich juices OF
a second growth. 1t is somewhat the
same with fruit trees-which, indeed,
occasionally blossom and let fall crops
of young fruit. Invariably they make
new wood, which, if only it harden
sufficiently, is the best of all wood for
either cuttings or grafts-because, say
the orchardists, lit has more life in
it." Grape vines, too, have a trick of
putting forth new blooms in the fall.
If they chance to be very abundant,
new wine in the cask which has ceased
fermenting often begins again to hiss

to fall into a deep hole, and when he
crawled out found himself on the en-

was met with such shower
of bullets that he slid back
