MR. TR*»LER'S HOPE8.

A Great Fortune Await* the Compressed Air Inventor if They Are Realized [Special Correspondence.]

NEW YORK, Dec. 0.—Charles E. Triplet, the inventor of a method of producing liquefied air in large quantities, has just completed the fitting up of shop in which be expects to prove conclusively the availability and cheapness at the new force for commerci&l uses. That is the prime object of Mr. Tripler's ex perimenta Other men have produced liquefied air in small quantities for the purpose of demonstration, but Mr. Tripler makes it by the tank and carries it around in a bucket In a short time he hopes to show the world that it is an efficient, economical and safe force for all commercial purposes. If he does that, nothing stands between him and a very gratifying combination of wealth and fame.

Not long ago a capitalist sent word to Mr. Tripler by the chief engineer of one of the big traction lines that if he could demonstrate a saving of 15 per cent in the creation of force he (the capitalist) would put $100,000 to $200,000 into the development of the invention. This question of economy is the com mercial question, and it is the one to which Mr. Tripler is bending his energios now

Safety, efficiency, economy those are the desiderata of any motor power. Mr. Tripler says he is sure of the safet} and efficiency of the new farce, and ht has every reason to believe in its economy. "Remember," he said to me in a recent conversation which I had with him, "I have nothing to do with motors. I have found a means of liquefying air and applying it as a force. The form of motor it may drive I am not concerned with." "Do you think it can be used in the way that compressed air or steam is used—to drive a piston backward and forward in a cylinder?" "Undoubtedly. It can be used the same as any other expansive force." "And it can be stored in iron bottles, just as compressed air is?' "In just the same way. With liquefied air you can have a constant pressure So long as there is a drop of the liquid left you can have the initial force—say 2,000 pounds to the square inch. The application of heat, which restores the liquid to its gaseous form and causes it to expand, may be" made constant, and 'the air will expand at the same rate so long as the heat is applied and the motor is in use. I expect to be able to send a car from Harlem to the Battery and return without recharging." "Do you expect to use artificial heat, as is done with compressed air?" "Artificial heat can be used, or the heat of tho atmosphere." "What is the compression of the air in its liquefied form?" "About 1,000 to 1,200 oubio feet of air goes into a oubio foot of tho liquid." "But have you ever made a praotical use of the force?'' I askod. "I have run that little pump over there," said Mr. Tripler, indicating a small pump which stood in the middle of tho shop. "I used it as I would use any gas. I expect in a few days to be running a dynamo with the air."

Thoro is ono point in his process where Mr. Tripler seems to get pretty close to perpetual motion—that bugbear of the patent office. He proposes to use his liquid air, as it expands, to liquefy other air—that is, ho claims that tho liquid air, taking heat from the atmosphere to vaporize it and turn it into force, will cool tho air to the point whore it will liquefy aud become a potential force. Ho does not expect to make tho two balance exactly. In the transfer of thermodynamic heat, some of it is always lost. Where it goes nobody can say. But he expoets to get back most of tho condensation which is lost in the vaporizing of tho liquid air and to use it again and agniu, "It isn't perpetual motion," ho said, "though it sounds like it. It is the utilization of the sun's heat—the heat that is in the atmosphere. And, then, look at tho heat that is goiug to waste all over tho world. lu that furnace ovor there 05 per cent of the heat esoapes. That is ono of millions of furnaces all over tho world which are throwing off heat. If I can only recovor a small part of that heat and convert it into force, what an enormous power I shall have!"

Liko all inventors, Mr. Tripler has had to combat doubt on all sides. First the patent office people said that he could not do with his machine what he claimed to do, aud to prove that he oould he filled a bucket with liquid air, took a train for Washington, and there in the parlors of the Ebbitt House exhibited it to a circle of patent office officials, "This is what I do with air," he Mid to them. "If you want to see me do it, come over to Kew York." The patent examiners were partly convinced, but Mr. Tripler has not yet obtained all of his pa tout 8. For that reason he has not made the details of his process public, though he is ready to demonstrate results to any on© who is interested.

From some scientists comes opposition, due possibly to their interest in artificial refrigerating machines, for if liquid air cau be made as easily and as cheaply as Mr. Tripler thinks

Mr. Tripler says he expects the hew fore© to bo used not for running small motors alone, but for operating factories. The machinery for condensing the air to run a large manufacturing establishment, ho thinks, can be put in a oorner of an engine room, and not a vary large corner either. It seems to be .U.q»«tion of «CODomy of production,

Ho* Sam Weller Was Created. Who is there in the world who does not hold Sam Weller as one of his greatest friends? Even the people who swear by Thackeray as opposed to Dickens have a soft and warm corner in their hearts for the faithful follower of the immortal Mr, Pickwick.

Few people, however, even today are aware of the way in which the artist who has given the world so distinct a creation conceived and carried out the picture which the novelist had painted in words for him.

It was Hablot K. A. Browne, and he, Oddly enough, was selected over the head of Thackeray-, who might have been Dickens' illustrator instead of his great rival and even superior.

The circumstances under which Browne got his appointment were decidedly peculiar. "The Pickwick Papers," in its well known green paper cover, had only been started a little while when Seymour, who was illustrating it, killed himself. As soon as this was known Browne and Thackeray sent in sketches, and when the latter called on Dickens he was told that Browne had been selected.

With a generosity not usual among rivals, Thackeray rushed to tell Browne of his success, and they dined together.

As soon as dinner was over Browne went off to get hold of Robert Young, a former fellow apprentice, ancLthe two men set to work.

Browne etched and etched during the night, while his friend Young bit the plates in. When morning came, the first plate was finished.

The first plate was the picture of Sam Weller.—Pearson's Weekly.

Bravery.

"There's such a difference in bravery," said the dentist. "I don't call it brave when a patient who doesn't feel the pain makes no outcry. It doesn't hurt him, and there's no merit in his not showing it, but when I have a patient who is really and truly sensitive, to whom every touch of the instrument is torture, but who just bears it all and never makes a sound—that's courage, and it's of the right sort too. One man who comes to me pretty often is just as stolid and indifferent as you choose, no matter what I do to him. Only the other day I took out two nerves from his teeth. Never a flinch from the man. Just to try him, I showed the nerves to him after I'd taken them out, a sight at which anybody might have been excused for fainting. He never flicked an eyelash. Ho regarded them quite as dispassionately as he would a pair of fishing worms, and after awhile he said, 'Don't you think I'm pretty brave, doctor?'

Not much I don't,' said I, 'for you don't feel it. That is not bravery. Bravery is when you really suffer and yet make no outward show of it' How can I tell when a patient does feel it? Ah, they can't hide that. It's temperament, and it reveals itself in a thousand olinching, paling, trembling ways. To suffer them and to make no sign—that is true bravery, and let me tell you it is an almost altogether feminine attribute."— New York Sun.

Caustic Judge Hawkins.

Judge Hawkins once had to sentence an old swindler and gave him seven years. The man in the dock squirmed and whined, "Oh, my Lord, I'll never live half the time!" Hawkins took another look at him and answered, "I don't think it is at all desirable that you should.''

The formality of asking a newly convicted prisoner if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon him brought another characteristic retort from tho judge. A prisoner in these circumstances usually either says nothing or curses at large iii his rage, but one of them struck a theatrical posture aud with his right hand in the air shouted: "May the Almighty strike me dead if I don't, speak the truth! I am innocent of this crime." Judge Hawlcins said nothing for about a minute, wbeu, after glancing at the clock, he fulminated in his nlost impressive tones, "Siuco the Almighty has not thought fit to iuterveue, I will now proceed to pass sentence."—San Francisco Argonaut.

An Elephant'# Trunk.

In St Nicholas there is an article on "A Baby Elephant" by F. Fitz Roy Dixon. Mr. Dixon says:

The wonderful power of the trunk was a never failing surprise to us. Its extreme sensitiveness and yet its great strength showed how well supplied it must have been with nerves. It was always moving, always feeling or smelling or carrying something, and the little sort of finger tip seemed the center of sensibility. I remember well that she would never allow us to touch it, and she guarded it with great care, folding it up if she thought it was in any danger. It is said by, the natives that an elephant deprived of this trunk tip is like a man deprived of his sight, so helpless does it become.

Modest, bat Self Belfant.

General Grant neither overestimated nor distrusted himself. He was modest and inclined to claim less than his due, but he was also self reliant and persistent An anecdote related by Mrs. Sherwood in her "Epistle to Posterity" sets forth his disposition to accord to others their due and to claim little for himself save the virtue of "getting there."

Mra Sherwood told him on one occasion that an English officer who had been present at the dinner given him by the Duke of Wellington in the Waterloo chamber had told her in London that he thought him a very learned soldier. "Well, I am not," said Grant had neither the gen ins of Sherman nor the learning of Lee or McPherson. only meant to get there."

In 1865, jnst after the close of the war, General Grant visited West Point, his old alma mater, accompanied by Mrs. Grant. "We were in the library," writes Mrs. Sherwood. "The examination was going on, and Professor Bartlett left the room, coming back with Grant on his arm. The professors rose to receive him. I think poor General Grant nearly sank through the floor. He winoed as he never had done in the face of the enemy. 'Those dreaded professors rising to do me honor! Why, I felt all the cadet terror all over me,' he afterward said. "He was more comfortable when he got outside and began shaking hands with all mankind and womankind, but no one who saw that notable scene can forget his modesty.''

European Economies.

:'\y

The chief didn't smile. "That may be considered clever in Kansas City, "he said, "but it wouldn't draw a second look in Cleveland. Years ago we used to have a man in the department who never made use of the ladders at all. When he wanted to go up to the fifth story of a burning building, he would simply jump into the stream from th^ nearest nozzle and let it carry him up. When he wanted tQ^ come down, he'd watch his opportunity and catch hold of the stream again and slide to the ground. He was the lightest man I ever saw—we always called him Corks."

Mr. Murphy drew his breath Very hard. "Corks!" he said, with considerable emphasis, and went out Cleveland Leader.

Tennyson and Browning.

In the Tennyson memoir it appears' that when Browning sent Tennyson a copy of the "Red Cotton Night Cap" Tennyson wrote: ,.v

MY DXAB R. B.—My wife has just cut the., leaves. I have yet again to thank you, and feel rather ashamed that I have nothing of my own to send yon back, bat your muse is proliflo as Hecuba, and mine, by the side of her, an old barren cow. Yours ever JL T.

Perhaps there never was any great literary sympathy between Tennyson' and Browning, though there was much personal friendship. Fitzgerald had a decided dislike for Browning's work,' lor he called him "the Great Prophet of the Gargoyle, fjchqol.NeyfJYork Times.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, DECEMBER 11, 1897.

To an American, aocustomed to the loose methods and wasteful habits of her country and people, there are few things more interesting and genuinely amazing than the thrift, the economies, the ways of European households. Mrs. O., we will say, has taken a furnished house in London. She considers herself a good manager at home. She is determined not to be cheated abroad. She gets up in the morning, and, finding the day chilly, she decides to order coal and kindling. She gives an order accordingly that makes her coal merchant lout low and smile with brown sugared sweetness, while her cook stares, and, if she be an honest woman, cries out:

All that, mem? Wherever shall we put 'em? Whatever Aall we do with em?" She fears that she has made a mistake, having plenty of American cleverness and adaptability. She rescinds half the order. The tradesman's face is a study now. His expression ohanges wonderfully, and so does his manner. The barometer has stood at servile" and "obsequious," It drops to "civil disgust" toward her, while he flings a look of hatred at cook as he leaves the room, which being interpreted means: "You fool, you miserable marplot, what do you get by being so idiotio as to have a conscience? Why didn't yon let her give a big order and steal nobly and get your commission?" But Mrs. G. does not understand this at^all^ —Frances Courtenay Baylor.

An Absentmlnded Man.

"Writers for comic papers and their unthinking readers," said Mr. Werken day, "consider it funny to be an absent minded man.. 1 am absentminded and in a position to contradict them. This morning 1 was hurrying across Wall street to keep an appointment. I lit a cigar without checking my pace, for 1 was late, and the appointment meant much for me. "A few minutes afterward 1 happened to put my hand in my pocket and missed my new silver matchsafe. Of course I retraced my steps in a hurry, scanning every inch of sidewalk and gutter anxiously. So occupied, naturally 1 collided more or less severely with people, who, not having lost a silver matchsafe, might have kept out of my way, 1 think "However, they did not,- and by the time 1 reached William street my hat had been knocked off, the polish of my shoes had been ruined by strange feet and one of my new gloves had disap geared. "At William street a very fat man ran into me, or rather over me. The shock staggered me, and something fell out of my hand and clattered on the pavement It was my new silver match safa 1 picked it up with unkind reflections about myself, and a little mental arithmetic showed me that 1 had made an absentminded fool of myself at cost of 5 cents for a shine, $1 to get my hat blocked and $2.25 for a pair of gloves, ruined by the loss of one. And then, gentlemen, I walked serenely to my office, ancL it never struck me until two hours afterward that 1 had quite forgotten to keep that highly important appointment—New York Press.

Friar's Prediction.

A certain Spanish friar, who was an almanac maker, predicted with accuracy and in distinct and precise terms the death of Henry IV of France. The friar in question was arrested and brought before the king, who treated the prediction with contempt, while he thanked the friar for his anxiety upon his (the king's) behalf. t* J*

The event, however, happened as the prediction had foretold. In this case it is, of course, quite possible that the friar may have had some secret knowledge of the existence .of a conspiracy against the king's life and desired in this way to warn his majesty of the impending danger.

A little woman forced her way into the penetralia of a Boston mansion when Whittier was visiting there and, olasping both the poet's han£s in her own, exclaimed, "Mr. Whittier, this is the supreme moment of my life!" Whittier stood first oifone foot and then on the other, withdrew his hands and clasped them behind his back and replied prosaically, "Is it?"
