We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

103-b The Octopus Pathe
Structure of the octopus, including breathing apparatus ; also manner in which this animal may be turned inside out and the results of this treatment. Reference: Zoology. — A. S. Packard.
128 Liquid Air and Application of Intense Cold Pathe
Air, after it has been chilled to a temperature of 200° below zero becomes a liquid containing many wonderful properties. Several interesting experiments are demonstrated such as : forming a hammer of the liquid metal mercury ; liquefying other gases, and making "gun cotton."

149 Experiments With Liquid Air Pathe
Effect of liquid air on metals, such as zinc and malleable lead; on a rubber ball, beefsteak, rose leaves and on a living eel. Very instructive and interesting, especially to the student of chemistry.
Reference: Liquid Air. — T. O. Sloane.
169 Edible Fish and Crustaceans of the Mediterranean Pathe
Edible fish, including crab and lobster, conger-eel, dog-fish, sea-scorpion, secan-gurnet and others in their native haunts.

170-a The Palace of the Maharajah of Mysore at Bengalore Pathe
The life of a Rajah of one of the native states of India, who is provided with numerous automobiles and hundreds of horses ; his palace and surrounding parks ; his sacred horse and dancing horse. An interesting phase of one side of the life of these people.
Reference: Americana, Vol. 14.
190 Carbonic Gas Pathe
A scientific subject which shows in a most instructive manner that the gas so dangerous to breathe is inoffensive to drink and is used in the manufacture of aerated water such as seltzer. Tests of its non-combustibility, weight as compared with air and other peculiarities scientifically performed. Especially interesting to the student of chemistry.
Reference: Dictionary of Applied Chemistry. — Thorpe, pp. 667-671.
193 Snow and Ice Pathe
A reel dealing with the peculiarities of snow and ice. The process of changing a rain drop into a snow flake with an exceedingly good close-up of a crystal of snow. Teaches the nature of the iceberg formation ; also experiments in freezing, and the principle of artificial ice. References: Britannica, Vol. 14 (Ice).
