A great amount of pressure is used. If liquid . ~t.r Is put in a kettle and tbe kettle is put on ice the liquid air wlll boll. This Is due to the great change in temperq,ture. This man poured some liquid air on some fresh flowers. The flowers froze and were very brittle, breaking just like JJaper. When the flowers were thawed out, they were as fresh as when he began tbe experiment. He showed when liquid air is poured on anything it will freeze tt. He performed numerous other experiments also. After ·assembly was over, some of the boys, anti girls too, went up on the stage and had some liquid air poured on their hands. This bums and stings a good deal. This man had a flask that was made in France. This flask had three layers of glass. Jt is the only one In America. The lecture was appreciated by all pupils of the Stolp and Central schools.

There are several pictures of ducks and we are told that tbls is one of Mr. Schmedtgen's favorite subjects for painting. The sympathy of the children Is much aroused by the picture of a fox In a trap. He seems to be saying "Please let me go, I never took a chicken ln my life... Ther~ Is also a picture of a rainbow trout on a line fighting for his life, a moose and mftny duck pictures. We all wish that one of these pictures might remain with us pennanently. -Albert Ackermann. 7A 7A-1 Baaketball Team Wina From 7A-2 Five The '1 A girls played a game Tuesday, l'eb. 22.
