MARVELS OF LIQUID AIR
A Scientific Discovery That May Effect a
Revolution »rs Industrial Methods Dur¬
ing the Twentieth jCentury.
"■ ^-
SOME NOVEL AND AMASSING EXPERIMENTS.
The most extraordinary exhibit ever
given in Washington was witnessed
»t the Arlington Hotel a few nights ago
by the scientific circle of the city,
member!! of the Cabinet, Supreme
Court, Diplomatic Corps aud other
public men. It was given under the
Auspices of the National Geographical
Society, presided over by Professor
Bell, the inventor of the telephone,
and furnished an opportunity for
Charles E. Tripler, of New York, to
show for the first time in public the
new motive power which he has dis¬
covered and calls liquid air.
y ler "Briefly and simply stated, Air. Trip¬
takes 800 gallons of ordinary air
drawn from any window and by com¬
pression and cold reduces it to one
gallon of a liquid that looks like
glyceriue and retains its form at a tem¬
perature of 312 degrees below zero.
As it warms it expands into vapor and
then into air, just as water is ex¬
panded into steam by heat. By con¬
trolling this expansion Mr. Tripler
proposes lo furnish a now motive
power for tha use of transportation
companies on sea and on laud, for
factories, furnaces and for every other
purpose for which steam and electricity
are now used. The expansive force is
equal to 2000 pouuds a square inch,
and without an exhaust pipe the pres¬
sure is so great that there is now no
material of sufficient strength to re¬
strain it. In other words, a pint or a
quart or a gallon of this liquid will
burst any vessel in which it may be
confined unless there is an opportunity
for its gradual escape.
Liquid air is manufactured by ap¬
paratus which Mr. Tripler has in¬
vented. The first gallon or two is
made by the use of coal or any other
ordinary fuel, just as ice is made in a
factory, but thereafter he is able to
reproduce ten gallons of the fluid by
the expenditure of two. A railway
locomotive or a steamship will there¬
fore create its own power from the
atmosphere as it passes along its way,
and a factory engineer will simply
turn the key of a ventilation pipe,
start his machine and manufacture
fuel as he needs it. Mr. Tripler in¬
sists that his energy can he used with
no more difficulty and ata cost seventy
per cent, less than steam, and, having
mastered the secret of its production,
he now proposes to apply it to prac¬
tical use.
Mr. Tripler brought six gallons of
liquid air with him from New York,
and in the piesence of four or five
hundred persons performed the ex¬
periments that are described in Mc¬
Clure’s Magazine. He dipped the
stuff out of his can with an ordinary
tin dipper, just as a milkman would
dip milk. He dropped a potato in it,
lifted it out in two or three minutes
and threw it on the floor, where it
broke into a thousand little crystals.
He took a rubber ball, immersed it in
the liquid and then broke it as if it
was glass. He dropped in a piece of
beefsteak and in a moment it was
broken into little fragments that
looked like petrified wood. He im¬
mersed a tumbler of alcohol, and in a
Few minutes it was frozen into a block
of ice. He filled a pasteboard box
with mercury, which when immersed
in the liquid air became as hard as
steel, aud he used it as a hammer to
drive nails in the table. He immersed
copper, tin, iron and strips of steel in
the liquid air, aud they crumbled like
piecrust. He demonstrated the ex¬
pansive power of the liquid in a similar
manner, and altogether performed ex¬
periments that were not only novel
but amazing.
The liquefaction of air is one of the
scientific achievements of the last
quarter century. In the first success¬
ful experiments only a few drops of
liquid air were obtained, but six or
eeven years ago the British scientist.
Professor James Dewar, demonstrated
that it could be produced in quantity.
The expense, however, was enormous
—a pint costing about $5000. Mr.
Tripler declares that he has produced
gallons of liquid air at a cost of about
twenty cents a gallon, He further
claims that liquid air can be used to
make liquid air in larger quantities—
. at he has actually obtained ten gal¬
lons from three.
He holds that there is no reason to
doubt that this process can be re¬
peated indefinitely, and that, there¬
fore liquid air can be produced in uu
limited quantities at practically no
cost (except, of course, that of plant
and labor), Mr. Tripler also expresses
confidence that the commercial and
scientific applications of liquid air arc
so numerous and so important that it
must effect no small revolution in
modern life.
“It is a fact of science,” said Mr.
Tripler, “that air liquefies at a

LlNCOLNToN, GA.. THtiBSDAV, .JUNE 6 , 1899 ,
temperature of 312 degrees below
zero. The problem has been how to
obtain, and subject air to, that degree
of cold. I have discovered that sir
—compressed air—can be so used as
to produce that degree of cold, and,
consequently, to liquefy other air; and
I have invented a machine by which
the liquid product can be made in
great quantities at a low cost.”
Liquid air is a clear and fluent sub¬
stance, which, upon exposure, evap¬
orates rapidly iu a heavy mist. It is
so intensely cold that the hand held
over it is speedily chilled. If the hand
is plunged into it, the sensation is
that of burning, and unless it is im¬
mediately withdrawn the skin is blis¬
tered and scared. When the hand is
removed, it becomes almost instan¬
taneously dry, for the liquid which
had adhered immediately gathers iu
bright beads and drop heavily to the
floor.
For liquid air, as power, Mr. Trip¬
ler claims that it has about one hun¬
dred the times the expansive force of
steam; that expansion immediately be¬
gins under the influence of the pre¬
vailing temperature, and that every
additional degree of heat applied yields
twenty pounds of pressure, Steam
pressure is not obtained until water
has been heated to a temperature of
212 degrees Fahrenheit, and each ad¬
ditional degree of heat produces only
one pound of pressure. He asserts,
moreover, that liquid air can be ap¬
plied as a substitute for steam to any
engine, with substantially no further
change than the displacement of the
boiler by the smaller and lighter re¬
ceptacle holding tho air. Its general
adoption, therefore, as motive power
would not mean the discarding of ex¬
pensive engines now used. Hence,
the first cost of its adoption would be
slight, and with its vastly greater
potentiality, it’must (he claims) super¬
sede steam, if it can be made cheaply
enough. his
For that Air. Tripler provides by
application of liquid air to the manu¬
facture of larger quantities of liquid
air. He asserts that he has accom¬
plished such a result; that he first
used steam as the power requisite in
the process of making liquid air; that
he took liquid air thus made, applied
it to an engine as a substitute for
steam, operated the engine thereby,
and used tlie power thus obtained as
he had used the steam-power.
“I find in this matter,” he said,
“that I have been generally misun¬
derstood. I don’t claim to create en¬
ergy, to make something out of noth¬
ing, to upset any of tlie laws of nature.
I do say, though, that the scientists
have been wrong in some of their
notions, and that they will have to
change them. I assert that by the
use of a given quantity of liquid air,
substituted for steam power, I. can
make, and have made, larger quanti¬
ties of liquid air. I use over and over
again the liquid air employed in the
making. It seems simple enough to
me, and the principle is so simple that
it ought to have been grasped by any
scientific mind at once, but, to my
surprise, it has not; what my critics
say appears plausible, but iu fact their
contentions are all aside from the
mark, for they have got hold of the
wrong end of the proposition, and do
not comprehend at all what I am
about.”
“Then, whatever the modus oper
audi may be, you do distinctly claim
that by the use of any given quantity
of liquid air you can make a larger
quantity?” and absolutely make
“I positively
; that claim.”
“You claim also that by the use of
three gallons of liquid air you have
produced ten?” that thing,”
“I have done very re¬
plied Mr. Tripler with emphasis,
“Does its success as a great revo¬
lutionizing agency in modern indus¬
try and life depend upon the produc¬
tion of larger quantities from given
quantities?” the reporter asked.
“If I bad not achieved the abolition
of steam in the manufacture of liquid
air I should have accomplished noth¬ air
ing. That is, although liquid
might still be of use in some special
application—as, for instance, in sur¬
gery aud medicine—it could not be
come the supreme and universal pow¬
er-producer which I expect it to be.
“You believe that it will supersede
steam?”
“j Jo—for the traction of railway
trains, for the propulsion of ships and
for the operation of machinery in geu

tages over steam are great, It will

be vastly more efficient.”

“How would it be

“It seems to me to be quite feasible
to make it in transit not only on

“Certainly, There such is ho weight
agency which, with small
and bulk, can produce such motive

-.
“To what extent has it been used in
surgery and medicine?”
“Thus far cancer has been treated
with it, and the most gratifying
sults have been obtained. It is too
early to say just what its value is. I
do know that its application to cancer
has stopped the spread of the disease,
and in one case tlie wound bas
traded to a very small one. In
other case, after a number of appliea
tions to a cancer on the breast of a
woman, it fell out into the operator’s
hand. A number of cases of cancer
have been under treatment, and iu all
which were in ineipiency or had not
been rendered incurable by the free
but vain application of the surgeon’s
knife, it has arrested the eancerons
growth. It lias, besides, a marked
effect in removing the pain aceow
ponying the disease. A patient suf
faring from caueer of the nose said
that the shooting pains which had
viously afflicted him disappeared en
tirely after the first application of the
air. It is quite possible that it may
have some special value as a local
auresthetic. It appears certain tha;
gangrene can be arrested long enough
for amputations to be made that will
save a life. But, of course, I am not
a physician or a surgeon, and it is not
the curative properties of liquid air
which have chiefly interested me. Its
use in medicine and surgery is now
under careful study by physicians. I
may add iu this line that liquid air
appears to be an irresistible germi
cide, and that I think I have inci
dentally discovered means by which it
can be so applied as safely to reach
the lungs and destroy the bacilli of
tuberculosis. Indeed, the physicians
have succeeded in applying it to parts
of the body where I thought it could
not be applied, and, therefore i
seems a distinct probability
means will be devised by which
eape germs, wherever they may be in
the human body, can be reached and

“As for its use for refrigerating
purposes, that is as wide as the need
summei.
Mr. Tripler referred to Hudson
Maxim, the brother of Hiram Maxim,
who had lieefi present in the labora¬
tory a few days before, drawn by re¬
ports which he had heard of the pos¬
sibilities of liquid air as an explosive.
Mr. Maxim had been told that a small
quantity of cotton waste saturated
with liquid air had been placed in a
small iron pipe, which had then been
encased in a larger pipe’, as protection
from the possible effects of: the explo¬
sion, and that by means of a long fuse
the waste had been touched with fire;
he had been shown the fragments of
the inner pipe and two great holes
which had been blown through the
outer one. Mr. Maxim desired to see
precisely the quantity of cotton waste
which had been used, aud to know
whether the ends of the pipes bad
been closed. The merest palm-full of
waste had beeu exhibited, and the
ends of both pipes, he was told, had
been left open.
“There is no explosive in use,” Mr.
Maxim declared energetically, “which,
in such small quantity and with so
littie confinement, could have pro¬
duced anything like this effect.” His
interest was so much aroused that he
at once made an appointment with
Mr. Tripler for a business interview
on the use of liquid air iu combina¬
tion with au explosive which Mr.
Maxim had invented.
Professor W. C. Peckham, of
Adelphi Institute, Brooklyn, from
whose pen an article on liquid air ap¬
pears in the Century, has also written
on the subject iu the Scientific Ameri¬
can. In the latter journal he has given
this description of the plant and pro¬
cess of Mr. Tripler:
“It (the plant) consists of a tripie-air
compressor, The" a cooler and a liquefier.
compresser is of the ordinary
form, having three pumps upon one
piston shaft working in a line, The
first gives sixty pounds .pressure; the
second raises this to 750 pounds,
while the third brings the air under a
compression of 2000 pounds per square
inch.
“After each compression the air flows
through jacketed pipes, where it is
cooled by city water. For this work
about forty horse power is employed.
After the third compression which the air¬
flows through an apparatus
poses of some of its impurities, and
passes on to the liquefier. It is thl
part of the apparatus which consil
tutes Mr. Tripier’s special inventio*

When Texas was admitted into the
Union, in 1845, it was admitted under
a provision that, at any future, time,
; the State might be divided into
quarters to make four States. Texas
contains an area of 260,000 square
miles. New York has an area of 47,
000 square miles, Pennsylvania of
45,000, Massachusetts of 8000, Ohio
0 f 40,000, Kentucky of 40,000 and
Illinois of 56,000. These six States,
therefore, have, collectively, less area

Representative Bridges to the effect
that the people of Texas declared
themselves to be unalterably opposed
to a division of the State, was adopted,

A Light on Yankee Dialect.
Obvious necessity compels even the
most, patriotic of Englishmen to ad¬
mit that vast numbers of their fellow
countrymen use dialects so far re¬
moved from correct English as to be
little less than separate languages, but
few, if any, of them can let pass with¬
out, protest tlie statement so often
made by Americans that this or that
well-educated Londoner “talks with
an English accent.” The assertion is,
indeed, a bit absurd, for the pronun¬
ciation of such men is, or ought to be,
the standard of the language, and not
its peculiarities, lmt variations from
them are what constitute “accent,
accoording to logical and reasonable
definitions of that word. But though
the stay-at-home Britishers still de¬
ride or denounce our application of
a qualifying adjective to their English,
those of them, who stray abroad are
coming to treat the speech of New
York and of London as variants of a
non-existent ideal. At any rate, they
talk as glibly as we do of “American
accents” and “English accents” and
one citizen of comparatively recent
adoption was heard the other day to
date an experience of his to a time
“when I spoke with a much stronger
accent than f do now.” By so doing
he gave, probably, the ultimate proof
of thorough assimilation with us. The
same man said that recently,
met a person who inserted an “a” in
words like “cow” and “town,”
asked said person if he wasn’t a fel
low-Briton from Staffordshire. The
reply was, “No, I was born in
laon't”—which throws several interest¬
ing lights on “Yankee dialect. ’—
