GENERAL K0RNIL0FF new
IDOL OF ALL THE RUSSIANS
Hero Of Successful Offensive In
GaIicia Was Born In a
Log Cabin.

Russia is ringing with the name of
the latest hero Of the war, Lieutenant
General L. G. Korniloff, victor of Ga
licia, whose astonishing feats first
proved that the new advance is no
mere flash In the pan. General Kor-
nilOff is the most daring, chivalrous
and scholarly officer In the army. For
romantic rise from humble origin
Russian history has only one parallel
that Of Michel Vassilievitch Lomono-
sof, fisherman's son. poet. philosopher,
creator of the modern Russian Ian
guage. in the first half Of the eight
eenth century.
From log cabin to general is the lit.
eral text of the chronicle Of General
KOrniloff's career. Born forty-six years
ago, son Of need stricken Karnalinsk
Cossack in western Siberia, who later
reared large family on a pittance
gained as the village clerk, young KOr-
niloff early began rough forest work.
At the age OF nine he received his first
instruction. When barely thirteen he
by his own exertlons and all night
studies qualified to enter the Siberian
Cadets corps, largely composed of sons
of local men Of affairs. Thanks again
to his own efforts this indomitable ST.
berian pioneer character gained free
training at the Michailovsk Artillery
school. where his amazing mathemat-
zeal faculties brought approval from
the authorities, even though he was
suspected, with reason, Of being q Sc
cret revolutionary.
Next General Korniloff was an officer
In the Guards and, being penniless,
was obliged to serve In Turkestan. In
the japanese war he received the rank
of colonel and was intrusted with a
desperate mission-that Of covering the
retreat from Mukden OF one Of General
kuropatkin's shattered armies. 1t was
executed with such resolution and skill
that he received the st. George cross.
Later he Travelled all through Turkes-
tan, the Caucasus and Europe, study
ing, observing and writing invaluable
books on Turkestan and the countries
Of central Asia.

MAKING GASES LIQUID.
knowledge Of the "critical Tempers
ture" Solved the Problem.


turs" Solved the Problem.
In regard to the boiling points of
liquid, there is an upper limit to the
point at which thing boils-that is,
changes to the state Of vapor. 1t is
called the critical temperature. No
matter how great pressure exists on
a substance, II it is at a temperature
greater than its critical it win change
to vapor anyhow.
The ignorance of this point held
back the making Of liquefed gases
such as air, carbon dioxide, etc.-for
many years. The experimenters tried
to liquefy gases at ordinary tempera-
lures by enormous pressures, whereas
II they had Just cooled the gases be-
low their critical temperatures before
applying the pressure liquefactiOn
would have ensued Immediately.
This is the method employed today
In making liquid air. The air is CON-
pressed ut first and then allowed to
issue from a small orifice, thus ex-
panding and cooling; Is then pumped
back and compressed by the pump, al
lowed to go through the orifice again,
thus cooling still more, until ut last it
is below the critical temperature, when
the compression caused by the pump
liquefies 1t.
