Mr. Williams first explained that air as well as water exists in three states; solid, liquid, and gas. Liquid air has the very low temperature of 297 de- grees below zero Fahrenheit. He demonstrated the fact that liquid air can not be kept in a tightly closed container because of the very great expansive power It | ossesses. Mr. WII- Hums caused a miniature steam en- gine to run by means of liquid air After freezing a rubber bull In liquid air it shattered just like an electric light bulb when thrown to the floor. A hammer was produced of mercury by freezing it in a mold with liquid air. He made an alcohol popcicle and a kerosene candle. Perhaps the most unusual of his experiments was cutting a wire screen by meit'ng it, using a cigar dipped in liquid air. as a blow torch. To conclude the program he per- formed the difficult and dangerous experiment of pouring liquid air Into his mouth, using it as a mouth wash.
