Eliot and readily caught the analogies of
the language with their OWN.
DR. Edward Everett Hale, who has writ
ten an Introduction for the dict ionary
says that in the spring of 1899 he placed
before Chippewa boy in the Hampton
school thirty words of the Massachusetts
Indian language. The boy recognized at
once fifteen of them giving to them their
full meaning and with a little study he
made out almost all Of the remainder.
The definitions in the dictionary are very
complete and are illustrated by numerous
citations from Eliot's Bible Experts in
the Algonquin languages now agree that
Eliot was great phiologist, His study
OF the remarkable grammatic construct ion
Of these languages was scientific and cor
rect.
II was long before European linguists
believed that his statements regarding the
grammar Of the Algonquin tribes could
be true. 1t seemed to them that the Ian
guages were too perfect in their construc-
tion to have developed among barbarous
tribes The study Of the past century,
however, has proved that Eliot correctly
described the elaborate system Of the AL
gonquin grammar
This great language and its various dia-
ects is now practically dead. The de-
scendants of the Massachusetts Indians
now retain no word of the language of their
race. In Maine, however, and southeastern
Canada the Passamaquoddy and Micmac
Indians still use their dialects of the Algon-
quin stock.
The new dictionary will be most vaIua-
bic souvenir Of the great native language;
and it will fittingy honor the memory Of
Eliot the pioneer and Of Trumbull the later
student whose linguistic studies of our
aborigines were both sympathetic and
systematic.

The investigators proceeded from the
principle that il is possible to evaporate
water so rapidly under reduced pres
sure that the water itself is frozen, the
heat being withdrawn from the body of
water which is evaporating. With the
aid of the vacuum pump and by a
proper choice of substances very low
temperatures have been produced. In
liquefying oxygen Pictet used as a re-
frigerant carbon dioxide, while Call
letet awaited himself of ethylene. In
brief the method followed consisted in
bringing the gas to a high pressure in
a vessel surrounded by the refrigerant
which was reduced to the lowest pos
sible temperature by means of a vacu-
UNI. The gas thus compressed was sud-
denly released from pressure the effect
being to lower the temperature below
the critical point of 11S degrees, when
liquefaction at once ensued. the LIQUID

for it. OF course this was a very ex-
pensive operation because the sub

science has of late years been evolving
cheaper and ever cheaper methods of
liquefaction, based largely on the prin-
ciple that the gas may be made to cool
itself, until Professor Pictet is today

produce liquid oxygen on a commercial
scale at a trifiing expense.
Liquid oxygen has some peculiar

ponent factor of the air we breathe is
no new thing. but it is only recently
that the processes by which oxygen
IS reduced from the gaseous state have
been so perfected that it is possible to
produce it cheaply in the liqueied form.
The claim is now being made by the
Pictet syndicate that it can among
other things provide a liquid oxygen
light of $50 to 300 candle power at the
ridiculously small cost of one-eighth of
a cent per hour, and so confident is
it of the truth of its assertions

discovery to practical purposes. He
has doubtless been greatly aided by the
achievements of Cailletet, Dewar and
Tripler, who were pioneers with him in
reducing air to a liquid. but he must
be given great credit for the results
he has obtained independent of the re-
searches of others. Again it should be
remembered that Professor Pictet has
contributed not little to forwarding
the efforts of those engaged in the same
field of scientific labor. The process of
iquefying oxygen is extremely COM
plicated to the lay mind, although COM
paratively simple in the eyes of skilled
workers. There is for every substance
some point of temperature above which
it cannot become liquid, and this point
is called the critical temperature" In
