No one who has read of the mar velous experiments soon to be per formed here by the liquid air ex pert, doubts the interesting and in- jCTUCilvc cnarauicr ui tiic cuicimiu snent, but many people ask "What is the future of liquid air?", ,,.Of -what practical use will it be?" etc. These seemingly miraculous ex periments are known to De iacts, bttt it may not be wise to accept for truth all that is claimed for li quid air's future; neither is it al ; ways wise to deny claims merely because they are astounding. When the early stories of steam and elec tricity are recalled with what all the unbelieving disciples of scien ces and doubting Thomases said, and we now see how much more is true than their early friends ever dreamed of, we can afford to watch and wait. Already automobiles iax7f hppn successfully propelled by it through the streets of New York .London ana Fans, .rnysicians nave reported excellent results in the treatment of cancer cases, 'and it has been used as a local anaesthetic in surgical operations, and may eventually be used for cooling ho TMtals. factories, hotels, etc., as well as rmrifviner the atmosphere with " its mrvcen. A. Chicaeo physician -wnorts discoverv of a method of cremating corpes, more quickly and lipn1v than at present, and almost onmnletelv. through the use of L j , tf liquid air. It may be used to produce , com plete combustion of coal, and over come the present enormous waste. It may solve the garbage problem, as tin cans, hair, felt - and refuse burn briskly and completely ' in it, with no smoke or odor " arising. Hudson Maxim, the eminent authority on explosives, states that liquid air combined with hydro carbon makes an explosive more powerful than dynamite, and at a smaU fraction of its cost. There are numerous uses for liquid air's component gases, oxygen and ni trogen. With the manufacture of liquid air sufficiently cheapened, improved methods of utilization may quickly follow, and it becomes a great factor in the industrial de velopment of this busy world. The entertainment announced for to-night is "not the slightest degreein the interest of selling stock or promo ting liquid air nothing else than to show the marvelous experiments that have been so much talked and written about, and to clearly pre sent the truth regarding this inter esting and up-to-date subject. The feats are more bewildering than tricks of teh magician and yet are clearly explained, and the enter tainment as a whole will afford food for theught for a, long time to come. THESE WON PLACES. On the Track Team A Partial ; Try ont Smith's Surprise. . There was a struggle for places on the OAC track team on the college athletic field Monday after noon. The hurdling aud jump ing events were not tried out; but will be some day this week. The result contained several surprises. In some instances men from whom much was expected were shut out altogether. The biggest surprise of all was C. B. Smith, who has his turn to laugh now- Nobody sup posed Smith would be in it: but he went through -the 220, well in the lead of all others, occasionally glanc ing back to see how they were making it. The easy gait at which he swung along suggested that he might run a lot faster if need be. The various places tried Monday and those who took places, are as follows: 50 yard dash Moores, Williams Cathey, time 6 seconds, 100 yard dash Moores, Williams, Cathey, time n 2-5 sceonds. 220 yard dash Smith, Staats, Darby time 26 1-5 440 yard run Williams, R.

On Friday evening they will pre sent "Uncle Tom's Cabin.", One cannot help but wonder why it is that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" al ways proves a drawing card, and yet there is nothing very wonder ful about it when once the plot and presentation of this realistic drama is taken into consideration. Ev erywhere this company has pre sented it. it has met with 1 crowded bouses. Saturday evening they will pre sent "Nugget Nell" a western comedy drama.

He Taught District School He is Dead Now John B. Wood of Benton. A typical schoolmaster, one who had taught more terms of district school than any other person in Oregon, perhaps in the United Sta tes, if notvin the world died Mon day. He began teaching at 17 years, because of physical disability for other labor and. for 48 long years remained in the work, dying at the age of 65 years. His last school was taught in the Hulbert district, three miles south of Cor vallis, not far from the scene of his first work in the school room as a teacher. His lifework carried him into school houses in almost every county in Oregon and brought him into contact with thousands of young pupils. In all, he taught 115 terms of district school. In the last few hours of his existence, he was in delirium, and throughout the time he was constantly busied, in imagination, with his school duties. He was a bachelor, and once in answer to an inquiry if he had ever been in love, he replied: I have always been in love; I have ever loved to hear the shouts of my school children as they passed out the door after being dismissed from their duties." His life and death, involuntarily " recalls Goldsmith's Village Schoolmaster. John B. Wood, a resident since 1853 of Benton county, is the dead teacher. After a ten days' struggle with pneumonia, he passed away Monday at the home of John Wy att. He was born in Illinois, May 10, 1838, and with his fathers family removed to Iowa in 1846. In 1853 the family crossed the plains to Oregon and settled in Benton county. At an early age, John's right arm was attacked with white swelling. It prevented him from doing manual labor, and he early turned his attention to attend ing and teaching school. He was a man with a philosophy of his own. It was a philosophy of a gentle amiability which gave him the love for his half a century of calling. The funeral occurs from the Plymouth church at 10 a. m. to day, with service conducted by Rev Frank L. Moore. His surviving brothers are. A. Wood and J. C. Wood of Philomath, and William and Charles Wood, of Colfax, Washington; his sisters, Mrs. Kis or and Mrs. Jacob Henkle of Phi-' lomath, and Mrs, Jack. Henkle of Priest River, Idaho.
