health and safety of the men; but the
cost of production exceeded that of explo-
sives and the scheme was abandoned.
The experiments in high air pressures
conducted by Mr.. Perkins, noted en-
gineer, in England, are most interesting, as
demonstrating the liquefaction of air at
ordinary temperature. Mr.. Perkins used
cast steel pump, tested to 1000 atmos-
pheres nearly $4,000 pounds per square
inch, with water, using the same pump for
air, he observed the then curious phenom-
ena that induced him to carry the COM
preston of air to the highest limit posi-
BILE. AT 500 atmospheres, nearly $500
pounds, the air began to disappear, ap-
parently by partial liquefaction; at 800
atmospheres, 14,7OO pounds, small globules
of liquid air formed in the tube; and at
1000 atmospheres, 1860 pounds per
square inch, beautiful transparent was
seen in the glass compression tube.
Few attempts were made to liquefy air
for many years succeeding Perkins ex-
periments, until about 1877, when Racul,
Pictet and others followed in the lines of
producing liquid air by the cold or low
temperature process and moderate COM
preston system. Micheal Faraday had
been experimenting on the liquefaction of
air and other gases since 1928 with indif-
ferent results, more recently Professor
Linde, in Germany, has by improved and
larger appliances liquefed air in large
quantities. Tripler and others in the U.
S. have made liquid air a commercial
commodity.
Its practicability as motive power has
been doubtingly questioned, and even
ridiculed; but the fact is in evidence
that it has the qualifications of a power
mover, and can be controlled for any re-
quired pressure. Its practicability and
economy are now being tested; as a re-
frigerant, its power is amazing.
The number of U. S. patents for COM
pressed air devices and appliances has
gradually increased during the past CEN
tury, and now number upward of four
thousand.

Compressed Air and its Application by

MY BOY

Oliver, my son, are you lost?
No! my boy, you are found;
To your daddy here on earth you're lost,
But from heaven hear a sound;
The angels have gathered around you,
Oh the beautiful songs they sing,
1 can hear their voices plainly,
AS they around you circle in ring.
Oliver, my little son,
Daddy has counted weeks and months
away,
Every morning and at evening,
Since he kissed your dying lips that day,
Each week and each month bring me
nearer
To that celestial shore and thee.
1 can see you standing in the gateway
Stretching out your little arms to me.
Oliver, my only boy,
The River Jordan cannot divide
My love for you, that is stronger
Than the strongest ocean tide.
My son, your daddy is longing longing,
Not only you again to see,
But is praying and hoping for the day
when,
He may join and forever, with thee be.

DAY

A solitary sentinel of time am 1,
You know me just twentyfour hours,
Still undaunted | stand alone
Till time is no more, no earthly powers
Can change the record DER which guard,
Nor rob one ounce of strength from me,
Not one precious moment nor one golden
Until the dawn of eternity.
l stand where e'er you leave me,
You are the record DER which l guard
In the Shiny quagmire of lust
Or on the straight trail narrow and hard,
Leading above the dark low-hanging
clouds,
That o'ershadow the vale of perpetual
strife,
Muf1ing the din and the battles roar
On the upward trail of life.
l am yours today, tomorrow you are mine,
write at your behest the record down
That stands unchanged till the reckoning
comes,
Deeds of shame and of renown.
What has been done you cannot undo,
The scepter of the past belongs to me.
Only today the magic word appears
In the rose flushed sky, "Opportunity."
1 know the mystery of the ancient Pyra-
mids,
And the riddle of the Sphinx l hold,
The confusion of Babel l understand,
All secrets by me are told.
And although untold in number, alone I
stand
On every trail that you have trod,
For solitary sentinel of time am l,
An oracle of God.

"A splendid treat was afforded to those
who attended chapel services Sunday. A
male chorus, consisting of about sixty
members, of the Association of Swedish
Singers of the Northwest, under the direc-

the interest he manifests in our behalf

he so frequently arranges for us.

Learn to wait-hope's slow fruition;
Faint not, though the way seems long;
There is joy in each condition;
Hearts, though suffering, aye grow strong.

Giant oaks owe half their greatness
To the scathing tempest's power.

In passing through our twine shop
Just the other day,
1 noticed one peculiar workman
AS l passed along the way.
Now some people look so strange
They just seem to hold your eyes
And this one did, but what it was
Not even my best surmise
Would inform me till asked,
A gentleman in blue
If he had noticed what it was;
He informed me that he knew.
"This shop is haunted" said he
By phantoms craving fame
And that strange apparition
Just hasn't any name.
But, as very well you know,
Each spirit has mission
And this one claims
A very strange commission,
1t seems he's just here
To write-poetry, most,
For our perusal and what you see
Is merely Shakespeare's Ghost!"
