There is lying IN the East River, New
York, the steamship William Taber, fitted up
for the purpose OF Transporting to the Now
York market the care asses of beef cattle from
Texas, where beef is so cheap aud plentiful
that it ls comparatively worthless. The par
ties who have the scheme in haud have incor-
porated themselves into what IS called "The
Refrigerating Steamship Company" with a
capital OF SS00,000 The Tabcr is . vessel OF
about $50 tons measurement, and is so arrang-
ed that sue will carly 400 tons of carcasses in
such manner as to allow o tree circulation OF
air around each carcass. The entire hold OF
the ship is lined with non-conducting felt,
two inches in thickness, and when the proper
machinery is in working order. the ships hold
can be cooled in an hour and half. The ex-
treme degree Of cold is produced oy pressure
upon carbonic acid gas, condeusng it to q
iquified form and then allowing it to revapor-
ize. This process produced so intense de-
gree of cold that personal contact with the ice
or machinery will produce blisters on the flesh
similar to those raised by burns. AS matter
Of course this temperature is altogether un-
necessary for the preservation Of meat, and

duced as an experiment. The refrigerator on
board has q capacity of 800 pounds at time,
