BACK TO THE FARM.
Back to the Farm is a rural
drama in three acts. It is written by
a student of the School of Agricul-
tural, and is presented by students of
the Minnesota Department of Agricul-
ture. The play is full of human in-
terest and real farm scenes and acts
depicting rural life as it has been,
as 1T is, and as it may be. The play
depicts the experiences of a young
man first as employed on his fathers
farm, later in an agricultural college,
and last as farm owner. Sufficient
romance and humor is woven into the
acts to interest everyone. The play
is true enough to real farm life and
conditions to have an important educa-
tional value. The play has resulted
through President Vincent's idea of
using the drama in agricultural edu-
cation. When he saw the play pre-
sented. he said, "It is far beyond my
expectations. -

LIQUID AIR.
Liquid air is made by COMPRISING
air until its pressure is about three
thousand pounds per square inch.
Liquid air boils at temperature of
342 degrees below zero. Any sub
stance immersed in liquid air rapidly
takes on the same temperature. The
wonderful actions of Liquid air are
ably demonstrated by Professor Henry
A. Erickson, of the University OF
Minnesota. In his demonstration flow.
ers are immersed in the liquid and
frozen solid in an instant. A ham.
mer is nodded out of mercury so thai
nails may be driven with it. Other
spectacular demonstrations are given
to show the wonderful things that
may be done with liquid air.
THE GYROSCOPE.
The gyrroscope is rapidly turning
wheel. Because of its rapid motion
it is practically impossible to change
the direction of it's axle. This prin.
ciple makes the gyroscope of practical
use by enabling car, on which E
gyroscope is run. to run along with
perfect balance on one rail or one
wire. The principle is used also ir
the twist bore of rifle. which causes
a bullet to revolve rapidly, conse
quently prevents the bullet from turn
ing over and keeps it going poin
foremost.
The principle of the gyroscope i
ably explained and demonstrated b!
DR.. Bert L. Newkirk, of the Mime
sofa University. He uses a small
monorail train. which is operated OF
wire stretched across the room
He uses also large gyroscope will
which people are invited to wrestle
