Ice.

Machines for the artificial production
Of ice, have recently been exhibited in
Boston, Mass. The process depends on
the principle that when a fluid substance
Is converted into vapOr, an immense
amount Of heat is required in order to
overcome the cohesion of the particles Of
the liquid. This heat must be obtained
from surrounding objects, such for in
stance as the air, or in the case Of
freezing machines, from the water to be
operated on. One method depends on
a modification of the common lecture
room experiment Of freezing water in a
cuu The machine consists Of an
air pump, by which the vapor from the
water to be frozen is drawn through oil
of v%itriol, which absOrbs it as fast as it
forms, and thus aids in preserving a
perfect vacuum. In about an hour the
water is entirely converted into ice.
The vitriol may be used ten or fifteen
times without changing.
The other method consists in the use
of a pair Of iron distilling and condens-
ing vessels, united together by an air
tight joint, and capable Of resisting a
pressure $50 pounds to the square inch.
The distilling vessel is filed with a
watery solution Of ammonia at the max
imum point Of saturation. Heat isthen
applied, the -ammoniacal gas is driven
of, and passes over into the receiving or
condensing vessel, where it is soon liqui-
fed by the constantly increasing press
ure of the yapor, a pressure Of ninety
seven pounds to the square inch being
sufficient to liquify the gas at a tempera-
ture Of fifty degrees Fahrenheit. When
the condenser is filed with pure fluid
ammonia, a cOlorless pungent liquid, the
lire is extinguished, the remaining water
in the distilling becomes cooled and re-
dissolyes the column Of ammoniacal gas
standing above it. A vacuum is thus
formed, and the liquid gas Immediately
begins to distil back and redissolve.
The heat necessary to effect this reds
tillation is distracted from the water to
be frozen, which is contained in a cylin-
drieal mould, placed in the internal tube
Of the condensing vessel. BY the larger
forms Of this machine four or five hun
dred pounds Of ice may be made ia an
hour, and it is claimed that for each
pound Of coal burned, eight to twelve
pounds Of ice are formed.

rhe Language of a BlngIet.

Ladies is this correct? An exchange
says ringlets may be interpreted as fol-
lows
"The solitary ringlet which so fash
ionably floats from the waterfalls of u
manageable bellies, not only looks most
provokingly sweet, but has a language
very significant, and it is indicative of
the state of the wearer. Report says it
is a notification IN the part of those
who wear them, that they, the girls are
not engaged The length Of this lonely
ringlet, or shoulder queue indicates the
desire-for instance, if extremely long,
the wearer is very DESTROYS of getting
splieed at onee-if only moderately long,
it shows that only good offers will be
entertained-an extremely short, meager
ringlet, would show that the wearer is
very particular who she accepts, but
nevertheless shows that she is not yet
engaged"

The discoveries made by the Amer
lean Consul in Larnaca, Cyprus, are at
tracing the attention Of psychologists
in Europe. The identity Of the modern
village Of Dali with the ancient Ldalium
is thereby established. It seems that
the Consul was led to make excavations
by the reports Of a peasant living near
the spot. The result was the discovery
of an ancient Greek metropolis at a
depth Of only three feet, under which
were older Phenician graves, oven
shaped, and closed with great blocks Of
stone. In some Of them were found
vases with Phenician inscription and
-statuettes of women. The spoils of the
Grecian tOmbs are exceedingly rich.
Among the articles are golden neck
laces and ear rings, silver bracelets, cop
per and bronze battle axes, lance and
spear heads, mirrors, tripods, coins, me
dallions, gems especially Of amethyst,
ruby and agate, glass vessels, ~statuettes,
busts, and a great quantity Of objects
in terra-cotta. Many Of the painted
vases are three feet in hight. What
disposition will be made Of those treas
ures has not yet been announced.

Get Him.

Aberdeen has a periodical visitor, in
the blow gun line, an ~inofensive old
Indian, by the name Of Mush-la-tubbe.
Well on his last trip, old Mush-la-tubbe
who by the way, isvery fond of n%arrating
his warlike adventures, was fighting his
battles 0 err for the e~difcation of one of
our most popular grocery merchants,
and as usual was displaying with bar
barrie pride, the scars of a number of
old wounds, when his auditor, in order
to match him, rolled up his sleeves, dis
playing the ugly trophies of a recent
encounter with a cotton gin. Old Mush-
la-tubbe leaped forward, took the
groeer's hands in his, scanning the sears
closely, and then, with an air Of timetable
scoTn, turned on his heels muttering;

One Of the greatest sources Of waste
in all American and most foreign cities,
IS the throwing away of the valuable
fertilizing elements in the sewage. In
China, that semi barbaric but exceeding
ly wise old land, the inhabitants of cities
are obliged by law and custom to return
all focal matter to the country, where it
may be restored to the soil, from which
It came in the shape of vegetable and
animal food. But the fluid matter Is
not available for manurial use, and the
solid matter is difficult Of separation,
except through the tedious process Of
evaporation. A compound (of animal
charcoal, blood, clay, alum and some
other things) has recently been patented
in England, by which the solid material
may be instantly precipitated in a coales-
cent mass, which is easily and quickly
dried for manure. Some enterprising
{" contractor - could make any number
Of fortunes by getting hold of such an
effective process. The naturalization
of soils is getting to be an important
question in the Atlantic States.
Another process, patented by Mr.. c..
G. Lenk, of Dresden, is a peculiar pre-
paration of alum. In a recent expert
ment at Tottenham, England, 10000
gallons Of sewage were discharged into
the tank, and into this we're gradually
poured about sixty gallons Of Lenk's
Patent Essence" At first the smell
most offensive, and nearly intoler-
able, but as the chemical preparation
mixed with the liquid the odor percoPt-
IDLY decreased. After some time a re
markable change was visible in the con
tents Of the tank. The solid substances
were precipitated to the bottom, the
water on the surface became gradually
clear, and at the end of an hour it was
found to be not only transparent, but
pure, by contrast with Its condi-
ton when discharged from the sewer.

EmsctHaI Remedy for Rust i'm
wheat.

Mr Charles .Lamm has kindly trans
lated from a German paper the follow
ing directions for the prevention of rust
in wheat. The receipt is found TO be
effectual in the kingdom of Hanover,
and we cannot see why it may not be
equally SO in Texas:
Take four buckets of uDslacked lime
and add water enough to make ten
buckets of the whole when Stacked and
in solution. Then put half a bushel of
hot water, mix this solution with the
lime solution, and when the whole is
cool it will be sufficient for forty-seven
to fifty bushels of seed wheat. This
liquid and the wheat are to be mixed
together 50 that every grain of wheat
may be covered with the mixture or
white substance, then sown."

Damascus is the eldest city in the
world. Tyre and Sidon have crumbled
on the shore Balbec is in ruin; Pal
myra is buried in a desert Nineveh and
Babylon have disappeared from Tigris
and Euphrates. Damascus remains what
it was before the days of Abraham
center Of travel presidential capitol
with martial and sacred associations ex-
tending through thirty centuries. 1t
was near Damascus that Paul of Tarsus
saw the light above the brightness Of the
sun the street which Is called Strait, IN
which it was said q" he prayed" still runs
through the city. The caravan comes
and goes as it did a thousand years ago ;
there is still the sheik, the ass, and the
water wheel; the merchants Of the
Euphrates and the Mediterranean still
occupy these with the multitude Of
their wares" The city which Mahomet
surveyed from a neighbOring height, and
was afraid to enter " because it was given
to man to have but one paradise, and
for his part he was resolved not to have
one in this world is to this day what
Julian called the " eye Of the East, as
it wa in the time Of Isaiah the head
Of Syria" From Damascus came the
damson, u blue plums, and the deli
cious apricots of Portugal, called dam
asco damask, our beautiful fabric Of
and silk, with vines and flowers
raised upon a smooth, bright ground
the damask rose, introduced into Eng
land in the time Of Henry VIII. the
Damascus blade, so famous the world
over for its keen edge and wonderful
elasticity, the secret Of whose manufac-
ture was lost when Tamerlane carried
off the artist into Persia and that
beautiful art Of inlaying with wood and
steel, silver and gold, a kind Of mosaic
engraving and sculptural united-called
damaskeniug-with which boxes bureaus
swords and guns are ornamcnted. 1t is
still a city Of flowers and bright waters

Of Gold still murmUr and sparkle in

THE illustrated literature Of England
has changed greatly since the introduc-
ton Of gift books III 1922. At first, not
much attention was paid to the artistic
value Of the e~ngrayings, but in two or
three years the character Of the plates
was improved, and greater excellence
was exhibited every season uatil the
period of decline, about 1910, COM
menced. In 1929, seventeen ANIMALS
were issued, but In 1910 there were only
nine. That number rapidly diminished,
and in 1855 the last " keepsake was
published. Although the tales and
poems were written in an affected style,
and published under editorship Of a lady
Of title, the steel engrayiDgs. were Of
high excellence. The most celebrated
artists were paid IN some instances $3.50
for the use alone Of a single painting,
and a like amount was given to the en-
graver. The rise Of engraving on wood,
however, introduced the custom Of pub
fishing novels in monthly parts, with
cuts by Cruikshank and others, and then
followed the illustrated weeklies. Punch
started in 1871, and was followed in
1912 by the Illustrated London Ne5cs.
The effect OF this change in the style Of
periodical literature has been to destroy
the art Of steel engraving, and the pro
fessors of it are dying out. So, too, it
Is stated, wood engraving has greatly
deteriorated within the last few years.
The large demand for the cheaper, and.
consequently, inferior specimens, has
stimulated the art of wood engraving
unhealthy, and interGered with the sup
ply Of we'll executed drawings. The
re-Raphaelite movement Of 1850 has
also been highly injurious to true art.
The followers Of this school either over
labor their wood cuts to an oppressive
degree, or dash them of with ostenta-
tious sloveliness-without any attention
to light and shade or perspective, The
illustrations Of the latest English maya
zines are criticised as nothing but an
exhibition of Nightmares.
