Professor Dewar has di.Tovered an ()
TiOMiiral mid ready way of liquefying it,
it will tend toeolvn n prolilein in curry -ing

will lie of great lieni'lit to tln KtndentH in
this line, in t iie talk with the represent
ative of The Pall Mall lliiilget. he nay:

lower down, we might liquefy hydrogen.
Hydrogen has never lvon liquefied in a
fre xtate yet.
"Now, it's u strange tiling that aircan
bo made into a homogeneous fluid. Yon
would think, as oxygen ran be liquefied
t 1X2 degrees and nitrogen not nntil
1112 degrees, that as yon lnade the air
colder and colder the oxygen woul 1 be
como liquid first and then the nitrogen.
I wiw th.t prediction made in a stand
ard work only tho other day. Now, I
dnro say, yon will ask why tho oxygen
don't comB down first."
Stepping quickly back to the desk Pro
fessor Dewar took up a pencil and bp ;.m
to draw with rapid strokes on tho back
of a letter. Tin' diagram when it wan
finished looked more like tho law of d:
ininisliing returns tnmed up on one iside
than anything else that 1 am acquainted
with. While ho drew ho rapidly ex
plained how the in ft nonce of atmospheric
pressure on tho different volumes of ni
trogen and oxygen in air make!: them
boil almost exactly at the wmie tempera
ture. As he made each point ho frowned
a littlo, drawing up tho wrinkles between i
his ryes. "Now, that, in tho old theo
logical days, would have been taken as
a providential dispensation. Tho strange
thing is that when liquid air evaporates
again they are under the snme pressure,
and tho nitrogen gncn off first, as you
would expect.
"Ozone can be liquefied by acting on
the vapor given off from liquid oxygen
by electricity. It is a splendid dark blue
color, almost as dark as indigo. Ozone
has not the saino molecnlo 11s oxygon,
and the electricity breaks up three twos
Into two threes. That is the secret of it.
The queer thing about liquid ozone is
that when it goes back into gas again it
explodes. You wouldn't think it, but it
Is stronger than dynamito as an explo
sive. It's simply because tho ozone goes
back into tho molecular form of oxygon
so fast. The force tliut comes from tho
electricity makes it explode without
meeting witli any outside body. It's it
tremendous explosive.
"We havo discovered that liquid oxy
gen acts as iv lens. It is so transparent
to heat, so to speak, that even lit 182
degrees below zero you can foens heat
on it from one side unil light a piece of
paper by it on the other. Yon know
that's just what lutppons in the earth.
The sun's heat gets focussed oil to the
earth through the lens formed by tho
vacuum of space, which is so cold that it

Professor Dewar gave a lecture on
"Liquid Air" at tho Iloyal institution in
the presence of the Prince of Wales, tho
Duke of York, Lord Sulisbury and other
notable persons. Ho showed that by the
withdrawal of heat the air is converted
Into a liquid with total loss of chemical
proH)rties, incapable of Hupiuirting com
bustion, or of entering into combination
evon with phosphorus and sodium, whiU
sertuin pliysicul properties remain. The
3onvernion of oxygen into ozone was also
described, mid the retontion by oxygen
of its peculiar optical properties at the
lowest temperature was demonstrated
ty the very donso and well defined bands

oxygen shows no unreasonable thermal
