Resigns
Prof. Everman to Present
Novel Demonstration in
Ballroom at 8.
Prof. Walter Everman, scientist
entertainer, will present a demon
stration of liquid air this evening
in tin: Student Union ballroom. To
begin at 8 o'clock and run ap
proximately one hour, the pro
gram is offered free of charge aa
one of the Union's summer attrac

ice. It is a treacherous liquid when
employed by one not familiar with
its remarkable qualities, since if
oin! should accidentally dip his
hand into the "boiling" liquid, the
fingers would be cracked off like
icicles.
Prof. Everman will display a
wi le spread of labortory equip

places kerosene in a test tube and
by dipping it into the liquid,
freezes it immediately into a can

frozen into a hammer which is

steak, fresh flowers, and a rub

the liquid for a moment and
dropped to the floor shatter like

Of special interest will be the
liquid air engine, propelled as a
result of the vajvir produced by
the evaporation of the liquid at or
