Liquid Air.
From the Forum.

At the time of the first commercial pro-
duction of liquid air. several years ago. q
number of untenable claims were made as
to It's practical applications. One of the
most valuable uses to which the lquefac-
tion of air has been put Is that OF the subse-
gen by fractional distillation and rectifica-
ton. The possession OF such a substance as
liquid air. however. has proved of much
value In the study of the behavior OF vari-
GUS materials at low temperatures. 1t Is
generally assumed. for instance, that at
very low temperatures metals become br...
tie and even fragile. and in numerous cases
the breaking OF steel rails IN winter weather
has been attributed to this cause. BY the
use OF a bath of liquid air Ii has been found
practicable TO test various metals and alloys
at temperatures as low as-1SO degrees
Centigrade: and this has led to the discov-
cry that while many steels have their tensile
and their brittleness raised at low tempera-
lures, this is not always the case.
Mr.. Hadheld has shown that a nickel
manganese steel can be made which will be
as tough II not tougher at $50 degrees Gen.
tigrade below zero than 1t is at ordinary at
mospheric temperatures and this. too. with
out material change In the tensile strength.
Liquid air has also been used for ouenching
specimens after tempering. and some in
structve information has been obtained
about the processes of hardening In this
way. The much heralded liquid Is thus De-
coming useful in ways not considered by its
original exploiters. and will doubtless find
increasing applications of similar nature.

In Honor of S.ientie

The Chemical Society of Washington has
arranged for a reception tomorrow evening
at the University Club In honor of the dis

Perlxin, the discoverer of mauve and the
father Of the aniline industry. to which he
gave impetus fifty years ago. In 1855. while
working on aniline, then comparatively
little known substance Sir William found
that dyestuff. mauve, could be made by
heating the commercial impure material.
This was the first of the vast number Of
aniline dyes ever made. In the following
year its commercial production was COM

From the London Mail.


The following remarkable description Of
the rites of the Society of the Scarlet
Death" Is quoted from the "Urar by Laf-
fans st. Petersburg correspondent. who
states that the votaries of the strange So
ciety are located near the Savodsk lake, and
that the exposure has been made IN conse-
Quence of the disappearance of one of the
citizens.
1.-THE Scarlet Death is surrounded with
much circumstance In the house designed
for the sacrifice there is room In which
there Is neither window nor fireplace. 1t Is
a grave without tenant. The room is lined
with scarlet material, but one of the walls
is covered with a black cloth. The floor is
covered with scarlet. Two cushions are
placed in the middle of the floor.
1.-THE victim Is then led in, and his or
her head Is placed on one of the cushions
Then all the attendants leave the room.
After few minutes a young woman. clad
also in scarlet. comes from behind the black
cloth. She slowly approaches; takes the
second cushion and places 1t over the face
OF the recumbent figure. Then she sits
upon the cushion and does not rise till the
condemned one has ceased to show signs Of
life.
What leads up to the sacrifice is va
riously explained by the local Inhabitants
Some say that 1t is to expedite the progress
of the sacrificed to paradise; and others
hold that 1t is a punishment for the COM
mission Of some mortal SIM"
