Cold Air as an Appetizer.

A Russian physician has begun to experiment with liquid air. He placed a dog in a room with the temperature lowered to 100 degrees below zero. After ten hours the dog was taken out alive and with an enormous appetite. The physician tried the test on himself. After ten hours’ confinement in an atmosphere of still, dry cold his system was intensely stimulated. So much combustion had been required to keep warm that an intense appetite was created. The process was continued on the man and dog, and both grew speedily fat and vigorous.
