A CURIOUS structure Of green stands

front of the Treasury. What was an old
fashioned fountain trucking a stingy
stream is being transmitted by the land
scape gardener Cor landscape architect, as
those gentlemen prefer to be called into
a strange device suggestive of Christ
mas decoration. It is the color of emer-
add or shamrock, or something equally as
green and dear. It is growing bounti-
fully upward from the top of the foun-
tain. and then falling in feathery and
plumey masses. This process will con-
t.nue through the growing season, and
soon this plant will veil all the iron work
Of the fountain and will hide the bubbling

on the floor Of the convention. however
he made a declaration OF absolute inde-

liquefies too easily. Recourse was next
had to hydrogen, which iQuefies at
much lower temperature. This gas
was made as cold as was possible by
compressed air Then 1t was itself COM
pressed and the heat squeezed out.
This compressed hydrogen was turned
upon itself and in expanding took heat
from itself and liquefied and froze
itself The temperature at which hy-
drogen became a liquid was minus 244
centigrade, or minus 4O7 Fahrenheit.
In liquefying hydrogen the scientists
had made a much longer step toward
reaching the ultimate zero. Yet 1t was
some thirty degrees ahead still and
there seemed no means of advance.
The scientists of the world searched
long for gas that was harder to con-
vert into liquid than was hydrogen. II
a gas could be found that would not turn
to liquid until 1t reached the absolute
zero, 1t would be possible to reduce tenn
peratures to that point. All the known
gases were tried and proven ineffective.
Then the indefatigable scientists began to
seek for new gases.
There is a gas in the sun that has long
been known and named by the scientists.
It is called helium, and can be detected
by it's peculiar color.
Finally a Norwegian scientist. in re-
ducing a newly discovered metal to the
gaseous form. detected the peculiar color
Of the sun gas. He separated and analyz-
ed the gas giving OF this color. 1t was a
brand-new gas as far as this planet was
concerned. When the searchers Of the
scientific north pole heard of the dis
covery OF this new gas they set about
trying for its liquefaction. They found
this difficult task, for the new gas

below zero. just as water boils at 100
above. So. when liquid air is poured
in cup at an ordinary temperature
it disappears in vapor for the same
poured on red hot stove.
Now as an incident in this discov-
cry OF liquid air came the manufacture
of pure oxygen. which is vastly valua-
art OF burglary. Air is made chiefly
OF oxygen and nitrogen, and these
gases are hard to separate under nor
NAL conditions. But with liQuefieu air
the separation Is easy. Liquid nitro
gen boils sooner than does liquid oxy-
gen, just as alcohol boils sooner than
water. So il the mixture is boiled, the
nitrogen passes off and leaves pure
oxygen behind,
This pure oxygen may be used in a
blowpipe for cutting into iron or steel.
A sheet OF the finest steel four inches
thick may be burned through as one
would draw stick through soft mud
This pure oxygen is used In the indus
tries for these purposes. There are
tales abroad to the effect that the great
masters of safe cracking employ oxy-
gen in the same way. Certain it is
that they might do so IL an opportuni-
ty was afforded for the use of SO cum
bersome q thing as an oxygen bomb.

This volume. fun. specific and sugxes-
tive, has a place already waiting for It,
Its clear mission is to substitute the re-
suits of Intellectual experience-authority
for q merely energixed hand-to-mouth
activity: TO set a coherent plan over
struggling and unartIculated impulses; to
offer a unit of ordered sequences in place
of a general haphazardry.
A few years ago some one or two or
more woke to the educative value of the
play instinct to the sense of drama and
it's impulslon toward spontaneous express
sion. an instinct common TO all. The es-
xantial truth of this thought together
With It's beauty, was most captivating
The spark struck out by II leaped into q
name and swept over education. Kinder
garten and college alike were caught up
in IT, Myth and history, literature, art
and custom, even the plain doings of
every day, were cast into drama. Every
schooIroom turned into playhouse and
real play was at its last gasp. The ex-
cesses and ignorances ana aesurdities OF
this high carnival OF drama In the sober
field of learning were like TO obscure COM
pletely the large substantial value of the
discovery. Now comes this considered,
weighed tested, rounded study--a sort of
special providence in bookdonn. 1t holds
full measure of appropriate fact and
