—"Liquid Air" is made by compress
ing air until there is a pressure of 2000
pounds to the square inch in the ma
chine; then running the compressed air
through a strong j)ipe or coil and mak
ing it as cold as possible with ammonia
and then allowing it to emerge from a
very small aperture at ordinary pressure
in the end of the pipe, when part of it
drops into a vessel, and ia called liquid
air. The contraction, freezing and ex
pansion does the work and the liquid
result has a temperature of 312 degrees
below zero. A man named Foster of
Philadelphia had some on the stage of
the Opera House, during the last evening
of the late Teachers Institute and his
description of its properties, and ex
periments with it were very interesting.
It is carried around in a double, glass
globe (with a vacuum between the
globes; enclosed in a wooden box and
kept as cool as possible with ammonia
The bottle or glol>e is left open as there
is a constant evaporation and the stuff
would explode if confined. Cranberries
or other fruits, or vegetables or meats
immersed In it are frozen hard and
solid in a few moments, and yet the
operator can put his hand in the stuff
without harm, if he takes it out imme
diately, and a watch-spring immersed
in the stnff and then set on fire burns
like tinder. These and a hundred other
experiments made an interesting "lec
ture. " The stuff is something new, and
may have a "great future."
