LIQUID AIR.
A Striking Experiment Which VIII
show It's Enormous Power.

a
show It's Enormous Power.
A striking experiment which will
show the enormous power of liquid air
consists In pouring some over quicksil-
yer which has been put into a mold
having u screw eye at each end. In
moment the liquid metal becomes fro
zen hard. and the screw eye is firmly
lmbedded in 1t. II a cori is attached
to one end and to the other a weight Of
80 pounds, the weight will be suspend
ed for Is or 20 minutes at the ordinary
temperature before the metal Is thawed
sufficiently to allow the screw eye to
be pulled out, and nearly as long a
time again eiapses before the quicksil-
yer returns to its ordinary liquid state.
Alcohol. which, as no one can forget,
is used for measuring degrees Of ex-
treme cold, as 1t does not freeze until
about 100 degrees c., Is easily convert
ed into what is practically alcohol Ice
when liquid air Is poured into 1t. First
of all, however, II becomes as thick as
treacle and when lifted out of the con-
tanning vessel can be still further fro
zen stiff into icicles.
The black magic or what would in
the middle ages have been called black
magic, which can be performed with
liquid air Is of so startling a character
that II would have condemned such
modern experimenters as Professor De-
war to all the consequences which
were visited on those who were sup
posed to be In league with the devil.
Everybody talks glibly Of the Tori
celliun vacuum, the space at the top of
the column of mercury in the barome-
ter. which Is popularity supposed to
have nothing In Il Moisten n piece of
cotton wool, however, with liquid air.
Touch the glass which contains this
vacuum. In minute a shining silver
ed mirror forms Mt the point of con-
tact.
The vacuum which Torricelli describ-
ed. the vacuum which the scientist
would have sworn existed, the vacuum
which every student has received as an
article Of supreme faith, Is disproved!
1t is a chimera. vain imagining. The
vacuum contains the vapor of the mer-
curry In the tube. 1t is but the merest
fraction Of vapor, so little that 1t ex-
erts pressure Of only one-millionth
of an atmosphere = impalpable, un-
thinkable. Yet under the alchemy of
this force 1t reveals itself to the eye
of even the most careless Observer
Cassell's Magazine.

Crowninshield Is a graduate of Har-
ward university, having been member
of the class of 80. His father had
mapped out nautical designing career
for him. Crowninshield buckled down
Immediately to hard work. The first
boats he designed were very small but
he gradually went from one class to
another. After successfully planning
q myriad of % and 2S footers he tao
kled 80 and 45 footers. The designing
of the 90 foot Independence was the
climax Of his career.
Designer Crowninshield Is naturally
very sanguine as to the showing of the
Independence IN the coming trials with
the Belmont syndicate craft, while he
knows full well the wonderful ability
of Nat Herreshoff In bringing out cup
winners, yet the Bostonian has not a
particle of doubt that his creation will
prove the swifter.

WATER CLEARED UP.
Company Has Flushed Mains and
Improved Condition

Superintendent Shaw of the city
water company had a conference with
DR.. Swan late yesterday afternoon over
the water conditions The explanation
given to the secretary of the state
board OF health was that the increased
pressure in use to keep up to the ex-
traordinary consumption stirred up the
sediment in the pipes.
The central and western part of
town had discolored water, while on the
East side, where Mr. Shaw lives, there
was no discoloration Of the water at
all For this reason, Mr.. Shaw said. he
was NOT aware that the water was dis
coIored until his attention was called
to it
The company flushed all the pipes
well in the central part of town, and
the water is cleared DIR. Swan said he
would watch a few days to see if the
improvement is permanent, to determ-
inc whether analysis Is necessary.
