Show Experiments of Prof Doremus Professor R Ogden Doremus of New York has been experimenting with liquid air on the lines made known by the celebrated English physicist Professor Pro-fessor Dewar who was the first to liquefy air by extrerne cold and high I pressure Dr Doremus publicly displayed dis-played the results of his study recently His lecture was designed to prove the I harmony between recent scientific discoveries dis-coveries and the Mosaic theory of creation cre-ation but its absorbing interest was in the wonderful f experiments performed I Dr Doremus has provided himself i with many newly discovered substances for the purpose of illustration His most startling experiment was as fol j i 1 lows Between the poles of a large electro I tro magnet which can lift 12 tons was i 1 placed a bowl of reck salt the bet I substance In which to expose liquid air I The bowl was filled with liquid air When the current was turned on the I I air was resolved into its original elements ele-ments the oxygen flying to the poles of the magnet as would a lump of iron I and the carbon remaining in the bowl r This proved the magnetic quality of i i liquid oxygen which as a gas has before I I I be-fore been known to be magnetic |
