Snow Extinsuisher.

A FTER three years of research Dr.
- Charles L. Jones, fellow of the
Mellon Institute of Industrial Re
search, has perfected a method of ex-
tinguishing fires with carbon dioxide
in the form of snowfiakes. The meth
od, it is declared, will be particularly
effective with fires in inclosed spaces,
such as mines. ships and so on.
DIR. Jones explained his method as
follows:
when liquefied carbon dioxide is
passed from cylinder pressure to at
mospheric pressure the liquid bolls,
it's latent heat of vaporization being
supplied by the cooling of the gas and
the residual liquid until the liquid is
solidified to snow. The snow con-
tinues 10 sublime until its vapor pres
re-becomes equal to atmospheric
pressure, after which further sublima-
ton can take place only through the
addition of heat from an external
source.
when the carbon dioNide is en-
ployed at this temperature IT carries
in suspension very finely divided car
bon dioxide snow, and the hame Is
literally chilled out of existence
The carbon dioxide causes no dam
age to surrounding objects as do
water and chemicals.

John Mccormack Was Discovered
While Singing in Dublin Hospital

Soon the boyish vocalist was stand
! ing expectantly beside the piano in
the O'Brien parlor, ready for his test
When 1t was concluded, the teacher
addressed DR.. Forbes.
What does this young fellow in
tend to do with himself?' he asked.
Forbes explained.
O'Brien turned upon Mccormack
sternly.
Don't be a fool" he said. There
is fortune in that voice, young man.
Don't dream of any career but that OF
a singer
John needed his advice. Instead of
entering the examination for the
Royal College of Science, he competed
in the Feis Coeil (Feast of Music),
which was held annually for the pur-
pose of selecting the best singers in
the various voices. -
Entrants came from alt over the
British Isles, but he won first prize
in the tenor class with ridiculous
ease
The way to the future was cleared.
Shortly he was in Italy and the best
| masters cultivated the voice that was
destined to delight, charm and soothe
| untold. millions all over the globe.
There is poetic and sentimental
sequel to this story which should be
! immortalized
The house of Vincent O'Brien,
| where McCormack's voice first tri-
| umphed over critical listener,
where it first proved itself, stands at
No. 81 Parnen square, which was in
the heart of much of the fighting
during the hostilities of 1916. The
structure suffered from the disturb
/ Fv-;a Pr5a an
/, to sell it.
| He refused so to do
ITO me it is sacred spot" he said.
| Almost as interesting Is the fact
! that when the tenor returned to Ire
land a few years back, following his
| American triumphs, he was delighted
| to sing at a benefit for the Master
Misericordiae Hospital as a tribute
| to his old friend, DIR. Forbes.
! The concert netted the Institution
more than S1o.seo.

wishing you Gods very best
A product of unusual shape will
often be sent as a greeting to the
President. Thus he is the proud pos
SCISSOR of the three largest lemons
that have ever been seen. They could
easily be mistaken for pumpkins. I'm
mense watermelons are frequently
the contents of a package.
Sometimes unheard-of fruits will
arrive to tickle the Presidents palate.
The Coolidge Feijoa," for example,
was the newest fruit known to hor-
ticulture, discovered in South America
in 1880, taken to France and brought
to California in 1900.
After tasting it, said the writer,
sit would crafty me to have you tes-
tify to its quality"
Receiving gifts is, nevertheless, as
all who have been married know, not
entirely gratifying. One must al
ways contend with the promiscuity
of the presentations. Talking-ma
chine records will come without an
instrument. A toothbrush manufac-
turer may favor the President when
the ,tooth-paste producer has forgot
ten him.
On one occasion President Coolidge
was very fortunate. 1t was at the
time of the convention of the ice
cream manufacturers, in Cleveland,
that he received a freezer of ice cream
from there, and a ham, bacon, sau-
sages and candied fruit from other
sources, all in one day. 1t was re-
ported he had fine dinner
But then there are the opposing in-
stances, in which-to come back to
the suspenders-he will receive nine
pairs of these without single pair
of trousers. Such are the inevita BILE
trials of a gift recipient, but they
must continue until we reach the
stage of gift regulations, a subject
which cannot be discussed at present
The public recognizes these dis
crepancies in donations and makes
every attempt to be helpful. Publicity
about any gift Is succeeded by many
letters from persons who state that
they would be glad to accept the ar
ticle If the President cannot use it.
x X
ROOKS and alleged works of art
arrive in the greatest numbers
I say alleged adyisedly, because each
of these portraits or sketches of the
President is claimed by it's producer
to be the most perfect likeness OF
him that has ever been made. Fortu-
nately the artist is always kind
enough to state whom the picture
represents.
The books that come range from en-
cyclopedias to treaties on legumi-
nous plants. Among the most recent
arrivals have been helpful discussions
on the bringing up of Boston terriers
one of which species is supposed to
be residing in the White House, but
is really making his home in thestran-
guilty of Vermont.
Authors whose works have not been
favored by the publishers invariably
send a copy of privately printed
volume for the edification of the
President
Aspiring poets, often, send their
verses for his approval. The last
