...American Chemical Society last week helped the lay public to catch up with a notable advance in commercial refrigeration. He described the properties and uses of "dry ice," as this commercial solid carbon dioxide is called from the fact that it forms a gas instead of a liquid when it melts. U. S. manufacturers, said Secretary Killeffer, had now perfected "dry ice," a practical portable refrigerant, and brought it into wide use. For shipping ice cream it was 1500% more efficient than water ice. Between Manhattan and Philadelphia, 200 lb. of solid carbon dioxide replaced 3,000 lb. of water...
Credit for the perfection of "dry ice" belongs largely to Chemist Pierre E. Haynes, now with the Dry Ice Corp. of New York. General Carbonic and Liquid Carbonic are other corporations now making "safe dry," a form of "dry ice," which became a commercial product in 1925. To make solid carbon dioxide: invert a tank of liquid carbon dioxide under pressure, open the valve. The sudden lessening of the pressure causes the liquid as it squirts out to turn part cold solid, part...
Rest. Dusk came. As lamps were lighted the Emperor received an ounce of liquid food administered through a tube. He was approaching the last stages of pneumonia, and his lungs have always been weak. At his bedside a physician administered oxygen whenever he seemed sinking. The pulse, constant for some time at 126,* became too fast to count. The respiration mounted to 84;? the Emperor's feet swelled markedly...
Pulverized Coal acts exactly as a liquid, if heated moderately, said President Walter E. Trent of the Trent Process Co., Manhattan. The heat raises tiny bubbles on the coal dust and the lubricated particles then roll so that the stream can be piped an appreciable distance like water...
