FRozE A SOAP BUBBLE.
Then Broke Il In Pieces and FIoated
Them on LIQUID Air.

Thorn on Liquid Air.
A frozen soap bubble broken in two
and floating like an iridescent. trans
parent eggshell on the surface of a
vessel of liquid air was one of the
marvels exhibited by Professor Dewar
In lecture before the Royal institute
OF Great Britain.
The lecture was upon the subject Of
atmosphere and the curious effects of
intense cold. the liquid air and soap
bubble being adJuncts introduced to ia
cilitate some explanations.
A few spoonfuls of liquid air were
poured into vessel. and the intense
cold caused by evaporation immediate
~ brought on miniature snowstorm
In the atmosphere directly above the
vessel A soap bubble was then placed
In the freezing stratum. Almost in
stantly there was change in the color
of the transparent globe. the bubble
becoming much darker; the move
ments of the rainbows film grew slow
err: 1t contracted somewhat in size, and
a little later it froze.
A slight but dexterous movement of
the rod upon which the bubble was
suspended broke the latter into two
pieces. which fell upon the LIQUID air
and there floated for an hour, gradual
~ accommodating tiny snowdrift from
the almost imperceptible precipitation
going on In the freezing

Part of the Property Was Left to the Odd FellOws-J0sephs
 Resisted.

Little Rock May 5.-The Supreme Court Monday morning affirmed the Pulaski Chancery Court in the case of Levi Storthz vs. William Sanger, upholding the state of property at Third and Main streets
 This property originally belonged to Julia Robbins, who became insane and George E. Dodge, acting as guar dian, leased the property to Isaac and Joseph Wolf for period of 20 years from 1892. This lease was assigned to Bertha Ottenheimer, who assigned it to IStorthz.
 A suit was filed in the Chancery Court to have the property sold for division of the proceeds between the tWo-fifths and three-fifth owners.
 JOsephs yS. Briant Reversed.
 The court reversed and remanded for a new trial the suit of Louis Jo- sephs, eXecutor. vs. Mrs. Mai Sparks Briant, from the Lawrence Circuit Court. This is a very interesting case, growing out of a claim held against the estate of the late A. w. Shirey, who was assassinated in his store at Minturn in 1910. Shirey left most of his estate to the Odd Fellows Of which he was a member, and Louis | Josephs represented the order in at. tending to the affairs of the estate Mrs. Briant, a grandniece of the de. ceased, claimed she had an agree. ment with Shirey to secure for hin papers which had been taken by Mad anne Rudolph, a spiritualist, for which he was to pay $10,000. The contention was sustained in the Lawrence Circui Court, verdict for the entir, amount being given.
 It Sas shown that Shirey was a be l liever in spiritualism and while con sulting the spiritualist he was per suaded to write obscene letters to hi | wife, from whom he was seeking l divorce.
