The invisible air which we breathe becomes visible in the liquid form.
 Professor Bradley gave many dersl- onstrations of the marvellous properties |of liquid air. A strip of beefsteak about the size of an ordinary bologna was suspended by string in can Of fluid. When removed it was whitish red color. By sudden blow 1t was broken into many pieces as though it were a pipe stem Flowers dipped into the fluid were broken like so much glass. Quicksilver was converted into head of a tack hammer. Alcohol was frozen into ice.
 An ordinary teakettle was placed up- on cake of ice and liquid air poured in. The air boiled and vapor came from the kettle like clouds of steam. The liquid air applied to a tin vessel rem, dered it brittle as glass. A tennis ball. was immersed into the liquid air and then broken like an egg she'll Professor Bradley hefd the closest at tention of his audience throughout the lecture.
