FROZE A BLAZE.
MAN DID IT WITH LIQUID AIR
CORVALLIS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT.
IN
Frozen Flame F.-11 in Flakes to
Floor HowN the Mysterious
-and Terrible Fluid is
, Made Its Bitter Cold
and Awful Heat.
- In the college Armory Wednes
day night, liquid air actually froze
the blaze of a lighted alcohol lamp.
40 'j people saw it done sw the . op
erator pcrspe the frozen blaz-i from
the bottom of the kettle containing
the liquid air, and finally sa w the
flake of solidized flame fall like
snowflakea to the floor. Without
seeing it done, nobody would
scarcely stand ready to believe that
a blaze could be frozen. That's
why 400 people eat silent and
amazed at the performauce Wed
nesday night.
And the liquid air did many
other queer things, The stuff looks
like ordinary clear water. It i
not quite so heavy as water. It is
. made from the air we brea he. It
is ordinary air liquified. The pro
cess for liquifying is very difficult
and expensive. It was accomplish
ed for the first time about 21 years
ago, bui only in a very small quan
tity. Scientists had believed it
could be done, and had been tryv
idg to do it for years and years be
fore, Five years later an Amer
ican, invented a process of manu
facturing it, which is still in use,
The air has to be reduced to a
temperature of 312 degrees below
zero before it can be liquified To
do this is laborious. It goes through
three appliances called separators,
each of which asis',3 in lo wering
the temperature. And even after
the temperature of 3I2 below is
reached, then the air das to be sub
jected to an enormous pressure in
order to iiqmty it. the pressure
is applied in what is called the
liqmfier, the inner .conteotof
which is a system of copper pipe,
4.300 feet or nearly a miie long.
sometimes 2 000 pounds 01 pres
sure to the square inch will liqui
fy it, eouetimes 2.9j6 pounds would
do it, but often it takes as high
as 3-5oo pounds pressure per square
incn to convert the triply iroz
air into liquid air, All this makes
its manufacture so expensive that
many uses that it will sometime
be put to. are not possible now
A rubber ball, after being im
mersed in liquid air, burst into
fragments as though it were a piece
of chinav when dropped - on the
floor in the experiments Wednes
day night. The rubber was frozen
80-bard that it was made .brittle, as
glass. A piece of beefsteak frozen
in the same way broke in pieces
like china. So did flowers, the
petals of which broke in little
pieces with a brittleness that was
remarkable. A man's handker
chief 89 immersed in the fluid froze
bo hard that it too, broke in pieces
like glass. A tin dipper , treated
with it for half a minute when
dropped on the , table flew into a
hundred fragments, as though it
bad been an antique vase. f . i
The fluid is so cold that it can
freeze and brittleize every known
metal save four. These are plat
inum, gold, silver and copper. It
is bo cold that when brought into
Contact with it, ordinary air' boils
it, just as a hot stove boils ordinary
water. A volqme of vapor ascend,
ed all the time when the liquid
was being handled" in open air.
It sizzled like boiling water. On
the outside of : the cup that , con
tained it a frost quickly appeared,
caused by condensation and freez
ing of the humidity in , the sur
rounding ' atmosphere. It is eo
cold, that the operator froze an
alcohol thermometer with it in a
period of about half a minute, and
froze a mercury thermometer in a
little longer time. ,,
Though a liquid, liquid air is
perfectly dry. It , wets nothing
that is immersed in it. It freezes
it perfectly dry. 'When the hand
touches it, a burning sensation is
felt." 'Though cold to the 312th de
gree below zero, liquid air is about
the hottest thing on earth. '-A thick
piece of felt, ordinarily .slow and
odoriferous to burn when - touched
to & flame after : immersion , in liq
uid air was consumed with a puff
like the explosion of a handful of
gunpowder. The same felt when
the blaze was applied before im
mersion, wouldn't burn at all. Cot
ton similarly treated, actually ex
ploded. The human body, it is
said, liquid air will instantaneous
ly consume. What a boon to the
murderer, whose chief problem is,
how to dispose of the body. Y Also
for crematories in the future when
the liquid becomes cheaper. Fal

miteA A-Boston mati nas a plan
for keeping honses cooP in summer ;
and warm in;winter with liquid air,;
whenever the stuff can be manu
factured more easily and , cheaply,
and there is no doubt that his
scheme is feasible. A noted can
cer specialist is curing cancer with
liquid air, Two applications , of it
remove a carbuncle, and one cures
an ordinary boil. In science, med
icine, the arts, and a thousand
household and other economic uses
liquid air will figure tremendously
as discovery with it proceeds in
the future. - - y

- An agent for. the Spaulding Car

last week- He sold a buggy to
Jacob Chambers and Link Allen,
and a carriage to James Watson,
and will likely sell two or three
more here.
Farmers here ' have generally
finished their seeding. Grain is
looking well and early blooming
fruit trees are loaded with bios- i

menced. Hops are growing nice

A car of finishing lumber, bound
for Santa Clara, California, passed
. out Thursday over the C & IS from
the Benton Lumber Company's
yards at Philomath. Another lea
ves today for San Francisco. The
shipment of the company, including
those made to the Corvallis yard,
now average about a car per day.
In a little while, the output will
increase to two or three cars per
day.'' The cut of the mill averages
now about 30,000 or approximately
two cars per day.
The flume, for transporting
lumber from the mill to Philomath,
a distance of seven miles, is expec
ted to be completed by the;i5 inst,
the lower end is now within a mile
and a half of its final ; terminus.'
Lumber is hauled from the
mouth of the flume to the Philo
math yards at the rate of four loads
per team per day The capacity of
the flume per hour is about 20,000
feet: Sixteen thousand feet was
transported through it from the
mill to its lower terminus the other
day in forty minutes.
The telephone line from . the
sawmill has been completed to
Philomath and is in daily operation
The planing of all the lumber put
put will be done at Philomath as
soon as the flume is completed. The
planers - will . be 1 located at the
I Philomath spur . near the camp
I ground.: The engine and boiler
and a planer were purchased by
Manager Irvine iu Portland the
first of this week, and next '. week
the erection of the plant at Philo
math will begin. The large pla
ner at the saw mill, and the large
dry- kiln for seasoning lumber are
to be moved and made a part of the
Philomath plant. ,
Some idea or the immense ac
tivity in the lumber trade elsewhere
is indicated by the fact that '. a big
lumber firm in Denver and another
in San Francisco has each offered
to purchase the entire output of the
mill. " . :
