SOLIDIFIED AIR.
According to a foreign contemporary, Professor A. L. Metz, of Tulane University, has succeeded in making a small block of solidified air, which was as substantial, for the time being, as a block of ice. It was about an inch in diameter, and lasted about fifteen minutes in a fully-ex-posed condition. He laid it on an anvil, and as he struck it the hammer bounded off it as though' it 'had been a piece of rubber. It was so intensely cold that no one could think of touching it with his fingers.
