Liquid Air.

Liquid Air.
Charles Il. Tripler, the famous expert.
menter in liquid air, recently went to
Boston to visit his friend, Elihu
Thompson, the electric expert. He took
with him a can of liquified air. IL was
a quart can of the coolest thing on earth
that Mr. Tripler had in this can, and he
took it with him to luncheon, where
he put it on the floor by his chair.
They lunched in u hotel cafe and ordered
a steak. After 1t had been brought in
and while the walters back was turned,
Mr.. Tripler lifted 1t from the platter,
opened the can and exposed the meat to
the liquid air. When he put 1t back on
the platter it was hard as q rock.
Waiter" called Mr.. Trippler, "come
here" The waiter obeyed.
Whats the matter with this steak ~
he asked, %anxiously.
y And he lifted it from the plate by two
fingers and struck it with his knife.
The frozen meat rang like a bell.
II d-d-on't k-n.now, sir, he faltered
and he started for the head waiter Oh
the run.
Mr.. Tripler, by the way, is one Of the
tiercest. looking men in the inventing
business. His mustache is of the pirate
cut, and his ey ebrows bristle and meet
in the middle. Therefor the head
waiter approached him with almost
timidity.
"Do you serve your steaks like this
rs u rule" asked Mr.. Tripler, as he
struck the time of day on it.
Its that fool chef" exclaimed the
waiter as he started for the kitchen.
A few minutes later the chef appeared
with the head waiter. He recognized
the steak by sight at once. Then Mr..
Tripler took it up and rang it again.
Mercy Graciousv' calculated the
chef, piously crossing himself. 81
didn't do it, sure!"
Then Mr.. Tripler laughed and Mr.
Thompson smiled. A new steak was
ordered and the,frozen ~one.carried below
to fool the rest Of the Kitchen.
