philosopher. Amos Bronson Alcott, Is
the hero Of many Of their reminis-

He always preached the doctrine CT
love 10 all creatures and was never
known TO harm any living thing: thus
Il was a great source OF wonder to his
naighbor that, while his potatoes were
overrun with bugs, Alcott's were re-
markabiy free.
One way the mystery was solved, for
the philosopher was detected carefully

allotments to dead Indians can. under
the act of congress providing for the
allotments, be sold
The manner employed to secure the
aliotments of dead Indians is to pur-
chase from their heirs, after which
the Indian agent makes the deed.
The average price pai1 for this land
thus far has been from ten to twelve
dollars an ecre. 1t is said that Joe

MAKES LIQUID Ala rAsr.
Professor Bradley's Machine cener.
ates Product in Quantity.

Middleton, Conn., Aug. 1.-Profes.
sor Bradley, after experimenting for
several months succeeded yesterday
in making liquid air in quantity The
machine which generates the liquid
air consists OF a moderate size kero.
sene engine, which furnishes power
TO punp for compressing the air.
The air is taken In from the outside
of the laboratory by pipe. which. be-
fore entering the pump. passes
through a sixty-gallon boiler full of
quickiime. This Is to assist in taking
out the moisture and carbonic acid in
the air
In the pump there are four Cyl iu.
ers and as the air enters the first cyl
inder it is put under a pressure OF
about fifty pounds The air is pumped
through four successive cylinders, be.
ing cooled between each. while the
pressure is constantly getting higher
and higher until after the air has
passed through the fourth cylinder It
u under a pressure of about $500
pounds
The air then passes through two
cylinders " caustic potash TO re-
move any moisture or impurity that
escaped the auickllme. 1t then en-
ters the liquefier proper This con
sists of small copper pipe formed
into compact coil AT the other end
o. this coil is valve regulated from
the outside This whole coil is so ar
ranged that the air which rushss
through the valve, made intensely
cold by its own expansion, passes oy-
er the pipes of the coil through which
it came, The coil itself is thus cooled
and the incoming air within it, but
this produces in turn greater cold still
at the valve and so the liquefer be
comes continuously colder and colder
until the temperature of liquefaction
IL reached.
The machine was running most Of
the day and produced air in the liquid
state at the rate of about one and
one-hfth quarts an hour.

THREE KINDS OF ROCK.
The Researches Of the Oklahoma
Geological Survey.

Cloud Chief, okla, Aug. 1.-1hd
Oklahoma Geological survey party
spent the greater part Of last week in
the Wichita mountains and the Kechi
hills in Comanche and Cdauo ccnn
ties. In the wichltas, the principal
points visited were Mt Scott vt.
Sheridan, Medicine Blun and Blue
Creek canyon.
There are three kinds of igneous
rocks in these mountains. granite,
pcrphyry and gabbro. All these rocks
are valuable for building stone and
monumental and ornamental work.
Northeast and southwest Of the wich-
itas proper are ranges of limestone
hills which also contain rock furnish
ing excellent building stone.
The Kechi hills are located in the
southeastern part of Caddo county.
They consist of mounds of hard, gray
sandstone. from 100 to 25O feet high.
There are in all about a dozen of
these buttes scattered along All area
of six or eight miles, on the divide
between the Washita and Little Wash
itA rivers. The sandstone makes an
excellent building stone. 1t is per
haps the best sandstone in Oklahoma.
The quantity is sufficient to last for
hundreds of years.
In the region OF the Kechis, from
north and south are considerable de-
posits of gypsum The area covered
is about two townships or perhaps
about seventy-fge square miles. The
gypsum is usually soft dirt gypsum,
or what is really known as gypsite. In
this regard it is one of the best der
its of gypsum in the territory
It was estimated that the deposits
in this vicinity would approximate O.
.00O,0OO,00O tons, great part of which
is gypsite, the rest rock gypsum.
Much of the country has already been
leased and companies are preparing
to erect cement mills. From the new
town of Cement, on the Frisco. a
spur is now being put into a deposit
OF gypsite north of the hills.
These deposits have the advantage
of being very near both market and
coal and should become of much econ
omic Importance
From the Kechi hills, the party
pased north TO Anadarko. where they
Spent Sunday. This week they are
working in Washita county, tracing
