IIQUEFACTION OF GASES-Sub-
scriber, City. Farraday, the renowned
chemist. had theory that by generat-
ing gases under high pressure they
could be turned into a liquid state.
Practical experiments proved his
theory to be correct. Gases produced
in this way in strong bent glass tubes
continued liquid at low temperatures
while the pressure was maintained. but
when the pressure was removed by
breaking the tube they instantly
passed into a gaseous state. In this
way before 1929 he succeeded in
liquefying chlorine, sulphurated hydro
gen, nitrous oxide, hydrOchloric and
other gases. He is credited with be-
ing the first who had a practical re-
suit in this matter.

queen Of the State. Her Santa Ger
trude ranch is ninety miles long, and
includes 100000 acres within its
barbed wire fences. Two thousand
employees care for it's one hundred
thousand cattle and fifty thousand
sheep. Mrs. King recently added no.
600 acres to her holdings. at cost Of
$50 per acre, and last year she sold
twenty-five thousand young steers and
heifers. The income of the ranch is
between $500. 1000 and 100000 year,
and the owner laughed at the offer Of
cattle syndicate to buy it for $4,000
600 a year or two ago. Mrs. King Is
the personal manager of this vast do
main, and it is said that no step Of any
Importance is taken upon it without
consultation with her.

FIRST CITIZEN OF WARRENPORT

Miss Betty was small and wrinkled
was; there were men and women in
Warrenport who remembered her
from their childhood as the same odd
little figure, with the purple-riDboned
cap perched on top of her ragged
brown wig, and kind eyes peering
through heavy, old-fashioned spec
tacles. Yet had any stranger shown
amusement at Miss Betty's appear
ance, he would speedily have been
made aware of his mistake, for in all
Warrenport there was nobody SO
warmly loved as this same little
wrinkled old woman.
What did she do? She would have
said in honest surprise, nothing at all:
it was the one sorrow of her life that
she had so little to give. But-well,
for instance, when Jim Pearson passed
her house one morning, his young face
set and hard ever the struggle to live
down a mistake he had made and win
back the respect Of his neighbors, Miss
Betty happened to be out In her gar
den, and went to the fence to speak
to him.
You certainly are growing to look
like your grandfather, JIM" she said.
HE was grandfather 10 be proud
of, and I'll warrant, if he knows, he's
proud Of the fight you're making.
jest want to cheer when l see you
marching by with your head up that
way" And Jim, whose head had not
been "up" before he reached her gate.
went on with different look and
manlier step.
Then little Mrs. Davis came down
the road with the baby and the other
baby in their carriage, and stopped to
pour out her Encouragement because
she could not, with one pair of hands,
keep both babies immaculate and the
house in spotless order.
MASSEY sakes, Annabel Davisp Miss
Betty cried. "What do you expect?
Amt it enough to have two of the
happiest, healthiest babies in the vii
lage without striving for housekeep-
ing prize besides? / dunno how many
times I've rebuked me, thinking Of all
you accomplish"
"Have you really?" the little woman
cried, her tired face Frightening.
Miss Betty, you do help so!'
"Who, me?' Miss Betty protested.
"Bless your heart, child, don't do a
thing. It's other folks that are always
doing things for me. It's the kindest
world, Annabelv
Eyes, It's" Annabel said, smiling
down at the other baby's round face.
81 never see Miss Betty" one Of
her old Sunday-school pupils, middle
aged lawyer, once said, without
thinking of the woman to whom Christ
said, Great is thy faith; be it unto
thee even as thou wilt There isn't
man, woman or child in this town
who wouldn't be ashamed to disap-
point Miss Betty's faith in him. She
is past master in the art Of encour-
