purely mechanical means, without an
atom of added chemicals. A%tmospher-

to 1875 pounds to the square inch,
which then cools and liqueies the

The oxygen gas produced by separ-
ating the nitrogen from the liquid air
is claimed to be purer than by the old
method, and can be supplied in the
liquid as well as the gaseous form.
One gallon of liquid air equals approx
imately 1913 cubic feet of oxygen gas.

Is also used for welding steel pipes,

That oxygen and nitrogen can be
separated from liquid air and sold re-

commercial possibilities. The Use OF

Aside from the Klondike output this

Many persons who have travelled

the impression that this distant

Nevertheless the latest publication OF
the department of agriculture Is on

in charge of the Alaskan work.
The report covers the operations at

met with many discouragements and
setbacks. But on the whole 1t has
been satisfactory enough and a good
many Of the mistakes made were the
sort that were to be expected in deal
ing with an almost unknown problem.
They a be rectified in the future and
the writer makes the prediction that
a large percentage of the 81. 500. 900
worth of produce imported in 1905
could be raised in the country.
Returns have not been available
from all of the land Offices, but it
seems that ten offices report $50 home
steads taken up, and while a number
Of these probably were taken largely
for the timber on them there has
been enough done in the farming line
to show that Alaska will produce
many things besides minerals and
will be able largely to feed herself.
The total farm imports into Alaska
last year were $3,34O,S99 OF this
amount many things were like tobac-
co, rice, sugar and nuts, which essen

the products Of the temperate zone
there were $1,527,522 worth of animal
