Liquid Air.

Canton has seen liquid Dir. watched
its wonderful power and wonders.
Professor Patty Of Chicago discussed
and explained liquid air to large and
deeply interested audience in the opera
house last Friday evening. He had .
canvass diagram Of the nsachinery used
| in pumping and condensing every day
air into the. wonderful and powerful
condition Of liquid cir. Prof. Patty i
: very interesting talker snd explains
his subject clearly and 20 full Of sine
detail q to make this great sub3sbs
perfectly plain to every observer. Hs
was assisted in his experiments on tho
platform BY Prof. Lawrence. Prof.
Ellington and County Superintendent
Clsndennen. No audience ever wstchsd.
or paid closer attention to the details
Of any experiment than did that largo
ana expectant audience In the opera
house last Friday night Prof. Patty
boiled water on 8 cake Of ice while on
tho outside Of the kettle ice formed.
This is easy to understand when one
learns that the constituent parts Of
liquefied air are being separated and
dissolved. All his other experiments
were wonderful, and yet 10 simple.
when ono learns the force and power Of
liquid air and tho tremendous power
required to hold It In its various forms
under compression. Think Of $500 lbs
to the square inch, and you can know
wha, there IL behind such . force DR..
Hetlesater went upon The platform to
learn the power and usefulness Of liquid
air in removing cancers, csrbuncles
and boils, and It is not hard 70 believe
that patient could be frossn up dry
and chipped 10 pieces like piece Of
wood. It was ; great subject and
wonderfully interesting lecture, and
the first Of the High School course
under the management Of Prof. Law
renee. There arc three other lectures
to follow. the next one will be given on

An Opportunity.

A number of years ago Adolf Wen
eel, the great German artist, always
man of wonderful powers Of observa-
ton, consented to act as mentor for a
group of young artists, and, having
posed their model one morning, as
was his custom, he left them to their
work. The model, it seems, was new
to the profession and unequal to the
strain Of remaining ,immovable in one
position, and so promptly tainted.
While the young men were making
futile attempts at resuscitatisn, one
Of their number ran excitedly to the
masters studio, Informed him what
had happened and asked what to do.
"Do!' exclaimed the herr. professor
''The best thing you can do Is to sketch
it. You may never have another such
opportunity.'' - ,>"Hs', 49,"

"Now," said the Man, "Corn is High,
and l. cannot afford to Feed it to A
Mule, So the Proper Caper is to turn
The Animal out to Browse and Let
Him get any Old Diet he can Pick Up"
Then the Man took of His Coat and
Hung it on the Fence while He went
to get His Tools together to Sharpen
them ON The Grindstone.
"Haw, hawr' said the Mule. :"'Since
l am to feed Myself will Eat Early
and Often, and for Fear that might
suffer the Pangs Of Hunger will Be-
gin on That Coat" - &.: !:
So the Mule ate up the Mans Coat
and Then feeling the Need OF A Little
Exercise he kicked the Grindstone to
Pieces, and when the Man saw the Re-
suit of his Economy He said that He
would Feed The Mule with Corn, no
Matter how High the price Was, for
it would be Cheaper than Coats.
