II Is not more than eight years ago
that Prof. Charles f. Tripler made his
first application TO the United states
patent Office for a patent In connec-
ton with his liquid air researches and
discoveries. and the commissioner re-
fused to grant the patent on the
ground that the device or proposition
o. Prof. Tripler was a 'preposterous'
one. To-day the Tripler Liquid Air
company Of New York is in possession
OF patents upon all rs inventions, APP
planes aud processes In the United
states. Great Britain France, Ger
many. Austria. Canada and Mexico
and has made applicEtion 20 secure IT'S
rights in Australias New Zealand
Japan. south Africa and all countries
IN the world which grant patents.
HIsToRY's REPETITION.
one occupying the position Of com
missioner OF patents Of the United
States Is always credited with very
high accomplishments in scientific mat
tiers. and when a man presumably well
yersed In affairs which come under his
Jurisdiction displays the incredulity
which met Prof Tri9ler's first efforts,
there Is no room for wonder that the
lay citizen who IS less versed In science
shah doubt the practicabillty Of the Inc
yention or discovery 4 few facts with
reference to this new and wonderful
product may not, then, come amiss TO
the general reader and seeker for In
formation.
NOT A MYSTERY.
There is no mystery attaching 10 the

There Is evident every practical DEM
onstration that the manufacture and
commercial use and appliance OF liquid
ain does not consist Of theOrzing and
vain imagInings The scrutiny OF the
public eye Is upon these inventions and
discoveries, and they are daily being
demonstrated 20 BE- thoroughly practi-
cal and profitable. and IL Is needless
20 say that an investigation Of the pro-
cesses, involving as they do the simplest
known principles, Is extremely inter-
estlng.
SOME REASONS.
The question IS sometimes asked.
