Magazine describes new and very effective
ice machine. 1t is simply an air-pump fitted
to bottle. The bottle is half filled with
water. and the pump is set to work. Air is
first pumped out, and then the water rapidly
evaporates. To complete the vacuum and in
crease the evaporation, the air and aqueous
vapor pumped out is made 10 traverse 4 hol-
low cylinder con tanning suIphuric acid, which
OF course instantly absorbs the moisture. The
evaporation is SO rapid that the remaining

Four minutes pumping suffices to produce

only cost about fifty shillings sterling.
