he writes things to set. She reads what
Others write and he writes what 9TH

retains him aud could hardly go to

fnt Miracle Of Liquid Air.


breathe into q liquid is one of the
chemical wonders at which even
scientific men wonder. In lecture
in Atlanta last FriGav Eugene G.
Foster, a scientist, explained, ~
cording to the Atlanta News, that
the temperature OF Iiquefed air is
312 degrees below zero. He OK
planned that the liquid was trans
ported in Dswar bulb, named
after it's inventor, and consulting
of one bulb set inside of another,
with vacuum between their walls
Heat from the surrounding at
mosphere or from the hands could
not cross the vacuum, and dissipate
tho fluid. A number of these
bulbs, containing the liquid, was
passed around in the audience, and
every oody there given a chance
to examine the marvel. Demon
stratlons were made by immprsiuu
rubber bouncing balls and rubber
dolls in the air. These became
frozen almost immediately, and
shattered under blow like glass.
He tossed a number of balls out
into the audience, sad they broke
into thousands of pieces when thev
struck.
Besfstesk was turned to what
looked like stone, and roses made
into glass flowers that fell into
tiny parcels At II touch.
A quantity of the fluid was
poured into a kettle, and the k.t
tic put into 4 blaze from con-
vsalsntly arranged gas pipe, and
hayrum poured into the air in the
kettle. And the bayrum froze
hard ia spite of the fierce fire TN,

tho flame froze in tho very heart
OF the fire
The most remarkable and unhe
lievahle thing, however, was re

was poured into glass, and the

A Mad Tom Cat.

A man who has just returned from
the up country to Charleston brought
back as o souvenir q thrilling story Of
an attack made on q white woman by q
mad tom oat. According to his 40,
count the woman was walking in tho
yard when, without warning, tho co.
made o vicious lunge and planted ite
sharp claws just below her throat. Tie
grip Was so strong and powerful that
the woman could not break it.. Her
cries attraoked members of tho family,
When they attempted, however, to take
tho cat away tho grip had evidently
turned to lookjaw, ard the animal could
not bo removed. Tho woman's suffer.
ing was terrible. A final effort was
made to free her from the cat, but this
was not accomplished until tho ami.
malls head had been completely sovored
from it's body. E7en aftor doath the
teoth olung to tho fash in vioo. like
grip. The wound was cauterizod and
at last reports tho woman was improy-
ing. II was said that before attacking
the woman tho cat had bitten ,tu or
animals, and in tho samo noighborhood
othor oats had assaulted thoir owners.
Tho fear Of hydrophobia was 80 great
that all dogs in tho immediate vicinity
Of the 9oman's homo have boon blocked
