YetterdaY new lnveat!on, IN the shape OF |
machinery for making Ice aud performing the |
rtifigeratitE proc IS, WAS tested on board |
the ship William raber. lying at the foot oi
Nineteenth street, East Rlver, In Tho presence

tended. The enip already named has been
thoroughly fitted win this new apparatus
for the preservation, during transportation,
OF fresh beef and other pertsh1bic food f0r

large cargo. The properties and desikus Of
this novel Invention may he briefly stated
ss follows: The inventor mas coutfived
series Of pumps, by means Of which he OBJ
tains pressure on the carbonate acid gas
generated IN the process Of working, which
was before obtained By the action Of oil OF
yilIol en- carbonate OF lime. When these
| two properties are brought together they
must, under this process, decompose. Hc
this way, and allows it TO escape into bags.
By the application Of the pumps, which arc
| surrounded with water, he reduces it to
liquid state. The first pump, under this
pressure. carries Is pounds 70 the SQUARE
