District Manager OF the Dell Tele-
phone Co. Across the River
Thomas McKelvey, district manager
for the Bell Telephone Company in the
district including the cities and towns

Ing at the home of his father, Hon. A

denly worse and his death came as a

dren, who have the sympathy Of their

lighted the tube was blown 70 pieces

lighted the tube was blown to pieces
and the report was like that Of 4 canon
and was heard for squares around.
This Illustrated that the liquid air and
common cotton combined had produced
4 kind of gun cotton that would prove
valuable In war time.
Next a common electric carbon was
heated to a red heat by means of an
alcohol lamp and a blow pipe. The
blow pipe was formed OF a tube con-
tanning liquid air and a glass tube. An
ice cup was formed by holding a metal
vessel containing liquid air in a vessel
of water, the ice forming upon the sides
OF the metal vessel. Liquid air was
then poured in the ice cup and the red
hot carbon inserted. 1t burned brightly
and upon ~cranberries being poured in
and stirred WITH this carbon, which was
at a temperature of 5000 degrees above
zero, they froze almost Immediately
solid. Prof. Woodland stated that a
difference of $500 degrees was main
tanned in the cup and at the conclusion
of the experiment the ice cup remained
unchanged.
The concluding experiment was the
setting of a kettle Of liquid air upon a
cake of ice and it boiled violently, as
much as when it was held over the al
cohol lamp. After being upon the ice
a while 1t boiled less violently, which
explained by the statement that the
ice was growing cold. To prove the
statement a handful of cracked ice was
thrown into the kettle, when it boiled
as violently as ever.
