fact itiBt none o ! them 1ms been ns uuocese-
ful in the field as Chanes E. Tripler nf New
Fork Cltr. xrfho is uble to produce a greater

another experimenter.
1 visited Mr. Triplor'fc laboratory not lonp
since nnd lie explained to me lor tbe first
time nis colfl-profluflnp machine. , "by means
ol which he reduces the ordinary air ol
his wnrkroom. no matter how warm it may
be. lo n liquid that Itmkt , not unlike water ,
although it is not -wet. ThiE liquid is so
cola tint it actually hums like a redhot
iron and it boilE us violently when placed
on a blotk ol ice as water on n reflhot stove.
Mr. Tripler also showed me how he freezes
tlilB liquid air into air-ice , a curious , flakey
! ; u bstnnce somewhat resembling "hall crys-
-talizua Eyrup supar.
Ice Mnde from Air.
"Wonderful as it is to nee ice that is made
ol air. it is not so wonderful us Mr Trip-
ler'i Btory ol the mcaninp ol this phenome
non. He tolls how , at some remote age in
the future , all of tbe atmosphere -which we
sow breathe will lull in drops ol liquid ,
just such JIB ho produces in Ills laboratory ,
ana great lakes and oceans ol uirwill lorm
on tbe earth , much resembllnp the present
laV.eh and oceans of water.
"When the earth prows so cold that the
tir IE liquefied , " "Mr. Tripler continues. * 'ol
course ull the water on tbe earth -will long
cpo have been frozen solid. Indeed , itwill
nc ut licrfl as rock crystal unfl not unlike
that substance in color anfl texture. After
the uir is til in the lorm ol lates or oceans
the colfl will continue to increase until they
In Turn are frozen hard. After that the hy
drogen , helium and possibly tome other
-very lipht paseE , of which -we may now
hove no knowledge , will fan in the form
ol rain end then the world -will be abso
lutely fleud and inert , frozen as hard as
the moon. "
The entire -process ol the universe is
typified in MrTripler'E laboratory , where
tvery depree of temperature from the heat
xil n steam , boiler .acarjy do\cn to the cold
ol interstellar Epace can be produced n.t any
time.
Until a lew years ape all scientists be-
lltvefl that there - werewhat they culled
"permanent pates" that is. paseb which
could not lie liquefied. Som2 of the liest
experimenters had tried compressing the
two pases , which compose our air ( oxygen
and nitropenunfler thousands ol pounds
to the square inch , all to no result. They
also tried heatiup them in reverberatory fur
naces anfl eoollnp them to the preatest
loiown depths ol colfl , liui they still re-
jnainefl pases. Tlnally the idea ol combin
ing immense pressure with preat cold oc
curred to n French savant and one flay he
astonished tht entire world of science "by
exhibiting a lew drops of n clear , trans
parent liquid liquid cxypcn. An English
experimenter followed him produced n
whole wine plaas full of liquir air. but it
cost him about $ . " . .000.
Now Mr Tripler , the American inventor ,
1ms Euoceoded in building a machine -which
will produce liquid air in very larpe quan
tities at an expense so low that it may t e
s.aifl to cost nothing at nil. Prom a mere
laboratory curiosity this marvelous su1 > -
stance has suddenly piven promise ol almost
unlimited commercial uses , no that those
who know Kay it must noon rival electricity
1n the variety of Its adaptations Ships wfll
run with it , puns -will fire -with it , itwill
\ > eused as a mothe power lor operating
locomotives nnd Buto-mobiles and in drh-
Inp pruat manufacturing concerns. Mr.
Tripler even pi edicts that by the agency of
liquid air practical aerial navigation is as-
eurod Tbe problem which has hitherto fle-
feated the purposes of aerial .nnvipators has
been the flifliculty ol proflucinp a projiellinp
machine sufficiBntly llpht and yet Ptrong
euoush to keep tbe propeller in motion.
Liquid clr requires no brillfsrs nor lurf nor
nroole ; stacks nnd the machinery necessary
to its use -will be n mere leather'Eweight
compared -with tbe ordinary Weam enplne.

; Mr. Tripler is able to do without difficulty
, in tit cold-producing machlm , a temper
ature of S40 degrees below zero must be
attained. Mr. Trijiler it.cenaln that he
| has gone even lower than this , although
lie hat. had no accurate means of measuring
ruch Inconceivable temperatures. 1J Is cer
tain that I'rof. John Dewar of England , in
liquufj'ing hydrogen , produced a temperature
at least sr > 0 degrees below zero , which is
! probably the coldest cold ever obtained by
nrtiflclal meonE. Scientists arc now agri l
. that the absolute sere that it. the cold of
I InterBtollar epacewhere there is absolutely
j UD heat is 4C1 degrees below zero. There-
. fore Mr. Tripler las reaches n degree of
] cold only 111 degrees above the absolute
| cold and it racy faf ily be predicted that
i snme day science will go even further , p > r-
taps discovering the real north jinle of tem-
, perature.
To the human sense of touch a tempera
ture of S12 flegroeE "below " zero IE most ex
traordinary. Mr. Tripler flips lis hand fear
lessly into a pail cf liquid air. but hiIt
careful to withdraw it instantly. The rea-
1 s-in that it aoes not freeze him at once IE
j the same that enaWen a workman to dip
i his hand into molten kad. the TaoisJure of
j the human flesi. forming a llttlt cushion of
i vapor -which l t-e-ps away for a second the
I effect of the cold or the heat A lew drops
j held in my land -for an instanl felt rs-
I nctly like a red hot c.inl. It floes not really
'
burn , re course , but it kills , leai-lng a
little red Mister not unlike a burn. Tor
this reason , out of its prospective uses -will
i be for the purpose of cauterization in eur-
gical cases. 2t is not only a good deal
cheaper than the ordinary caustics. t > ut is
| much more efficient , and its action can } > e
absolutely -controlled. Indeed , awell knows
fiur-geon las already performed n difficult
operation on a cancer case with liquid air
furnished by Mr Tripler , and he ha * re-
pnrlc-d the case to be absolutely cured.
Mr. Tripler showed me BOOHof the curi
ous effeitB of intense cold by dipping a
beefsteak and an egg into liquid air. The
eprg was frozen until itwas as hard as a
bit of quartz , and when I struck It with a
hammer it cracked open and the inside was
| sharply crystallized. Th * 'beefsteak ' , when
frozen , was as stiff and 'brittle as glass.
Mr. Tripler crumbled it tip in lis hands
like so much cracker , and n piece of it
dropped to the Hoer shivered into a thou-
i sand pieces.

j Mr. Tripler , "ejliibiiing Borne of my liquid

Liquid air freezes iron and steel juct an

To Jorm a correct mental image of the
roller boat , picture a luge barrel or cylinder
& 00 feet long , JE feet in diameter unl i-4
feet from the hollow core to the outer pur-
face. This is conBtructefl of boiler plate
ED riveted aE to be airtight It has an inner ,
an outer and a middle skin , these tubes
being held tt proper distances from one
another by circular partitions forming air
tight compartments which make ttie boat
un&lnkable.
Not only is this great barrel the shell ! 1
of the boat , but it if also itE propeller the I j
wheel whirh gives the craft HE actual trai- |
eling capacity. Think ol t boat will a < I I
paddle wheel 500 feet broad and DC feet in '
diumeter ! But the term "paddle wheel" Ifc
1
not strictly applicable in this case , lor the
roller boat has neither nerew nor paBSies i
The 4-inc.h T-ra0s running from end to ,
end of the outside of the cylinder are better
described as cogs -wlich set into the water I
and enable the roller to .roll forward over
tie sea instead of merely revolving without
progress. The progressive action cf tne
cylin3 - is similar to that of the broad-
tired wheels of a country traction engine
pulling its way up a lill , the cogs with
which the tires are crossed liitlng II.ID the
roadway uud giving foot hold and pulling
power.
"Within the tunnel or core of this hollow
with the far" tiEt 11 rollr over tht water
"hmatlrifle on. " allowing little opportunity
for end-ao-end pitching.
