Success Of Liquid Air.
WILL CAUSE A REVOLUTION
In the Industrial, Commercial and
Scientific WorId-Seope Of
Its Possibilities

A very distinguished visitor Is here
from Chicago IN the person OF Mr. F, c.
Rutan, who Is associated with Senator
Frank J. Cannon In the promotion Of
liquid air and In some mining business
In this State. Mr. Rutan Is quartered
at the Knutsford hotel and expects to
be Joined here by Hon, l., c. Huck, Of
Chicago. and Col. p. L. Kimberly, Of
Sharon, Pa.
Speaking Of liquid air Mr. Rutan said
that Il Is destined to become one Of the
most valuable agencies the world ever
saw For some time 10 come we viii
