What is this article about?
Recent experiments compressing hydrogen at 650 atmospheres produced solid particles that issued with a hissing noise and steel-blue color, falling like hail with crackling sounds; crystallization occurred in the tube, reverting to liquid gas when heated.

Solidification of hydrogen seems to be an accomplished fact. In some recent experiments with hydrogen compressed at 650 atmospheres, it was found, on opening the stop cock, that the gas issued with a noise like that of a hot iron bar under water, and it had a steel-blue color. The jet suddenly became intermittent, and then there followed a sort of hail of the solid particles of hydrogen, which fell with positive violence to the ground and produced a crackling noise. Afterward, the stop cock was closed, and there was evidence that a crystallization of hydrogen took place within the tube; when, however, the temperature was again raised, the gas issued as a liquid.
