A sample of an article lately patented IN Eng
land, and exhibited at the Chrystai Palace. cai-
ed purified solidife! milk has found il, war
10 this country. II is soil in the form Of cakes,
which resemble in color, weight and consistency
cakes OF white soap. From one pound Of this
substance, which costs dollar, six gallons Of
milk can be made. BY grating it into boiling wa
tor, and letting il stand few minutes. II iswar-
ranted to keep any number Of years, and is said
to be free from those properties Of milk in its
natural state, which render il unfit for the use Of
invalids and infants. For sea-voyases, il must
be an Invaluable article. AfrienI of mine, whom
curiosity led 10 import small quantity, has Tried
it and he assures me il is all that il claims be-
IL some enterprising, dairy farmer could find ont
or purchase the secret, he might find the maaa-
facture OF the soidiiisi milk very prohtabls
way of disposins of the surplus of his dairy.
| have lately seen several OF the new ice frss-
-ers, also an English invention. BY this coniri-
vance, ice can be procured in any climate, in The
space OF one minute. The principle is vay
simple one; in fact, it is that OF the common ict
cream machine. The water which is to be fro
zen is placed in an inner vessel. AMI conbina-
ton of salts is placed around it in the iub;a
slight motion is given 10 the whole By means Of
cranE, and ice begins to form almost immfdi-
ately. The machines are made of ten sizes. from
a small butter or wine cooler, to a large ice ma
ker, capable Of furnishing large mass of ice
The cost ranges from few shilings TO hundred
and fifty dollars. The price of The sails is seven
dollars per hundred weight. The first ice freezer
brought 10 this country, was imported by one
of my most intimate friends, a captain in the M
w, for cru:ze in the tropics. lie and his sur
seon both assured me that many lives coald Be
saved on board ships-of-war sailing in hot eli
mates, if the means for procuring ice were u
hand. As soon, therefore, as this invention was
announced, he procured an lice freezer" Ut his
own expense. for the use of hi, ship, and be now
has it with him. on the African station. con-
slider this a very valuable machine, particularly
for ships and CONTINGENCIES.
