A New Ice MAKING MACHINE

A New ICE MAKING MACHINE
There comes from Germany a prom.
iso of relief from the want of leo. A
certain Franz Windhausen, of Bruins.
wick, has invented now machine fol-
freezing water without the aid OF
chemicals. Tho process takes place
in a cylinder, ''whero tho air is first
powerfully condensed, then cooled by
tho admission Of water, and finally
expanded till it's pressure is about
equal to that of the atmosphere" By
this means, it is asserted, the very
astonishing result is obtained of low
ering tho temperature of the air to
fifty degrees Celsius Cour degrees
Fahrenhcit), 80 that when conducted
in moderate quantities into space
through which water flows, "tho wa.
ter is almost Immediately turned into
ice, of which enormous blocks may
thus be obtained if desired.

The Mechanism of Man.

Wonders Mt homo by familiarity
cease TO exotic astonishmcnt; but
hence it happens that many know so
little about the "houso wo live in
that human body. We look upon q
house from outside just rs whole or
unit, never thinking Of tho many
rooms, the curious passages, and tho
ingenious internal arrangements Of
the house, OF Of tho wonderful struc-
turc of the man, tho harmony and
adaptation Of all the parts.
In tho human skeleton about the
timo of maturity, arc 1G5 bones.
The muscles arc about 500 in number.
The alimcntary canal is about 81 feet
long. Tho amount Of blood in on
adult averages thirty pounds, or one
fifth Of the entire weight.
The heart is six inches in length
and four inches in diameter, and beats
80 times per minute; 1900 times per
hour; 100000 per day; 36,772, 200 per
year; and 2,GG5, &C, 900 in three score
and ten; and at each beat four and a
half ounces Of blood is thrown out Of
it; 175 ounces per minute; GIG pounds
per hour; 81 tons per day. All tho
blood in the body passes through tho
heart in three minutes.
Tho lungs will contain about one
gallon Of air at tho usual dcgrco of
imitation When breathe, on an aver
age, 1900 times per hour; inhalo 600
gallons of air, or $4,000 gallon per
day. Tho aggregate surface of the
air coils Of the lungs exceeds 10000
square inches, an area very nearly
equal to the floor of q room twelve
feet square.
The average weight Of tho brain of
an adult male is threo pounds and
eight ounces; Of female, two pounds
and four ounces. Tho nerves are oil
connected with it, directly or by spi-
nal marrow. Tho nerves, together
with their branches and minute ram
iiications, probably exceed 10000
600 in number, forming tho "body
guard,"' out numbering by far the
greatest army that ever was marshall
cd.
Tho skin is composed Of three lay
ers, and varies from one fourth to
one.eigth tof an ipch in thickness.
Its average area in an adelt is estima-
ted to be 1000 square inches. The
atmospheric pressure being about
fourteen pounds to the square Inch, a
portion of medium size is subjected to
a pressure Of 10000 pounds.
Each square inch of skin contains
$500 sweating tubes or perspiratory
pores, each of which may be likened
to littlo draintile one fourth of nm
inch long, making an aggregate
length Of tho entire surface Of the DO
dy of 201, 1865 feet, or a ditch fol
draining the body almost forty miles
long,. ,.a :, 49,

The Condition of Mormon Women.

] Although tho mon arc educated
thoroughly, especially upon points
likely to affect tho spread of their be-
! lief, tho women arc left in utter and
complete Ignorance. IN all tho many
houses, even Of tho highest Of tho
land, to which we aftorward had ac-
cess, VIC saw scarcely {. book save
those on Mormonisnl, and not q single
paper or magazine. We spoke of
tho day both at homo and abroad,
and met with entire blanllncss; mono
Of them had any idea of what VIC
wcrc talking about. Then, before a
girl has reached full womanhood,
while her ideas arc still Uniformed and
childish, she is married, probably TO q
lhan Old enough TO DO her father
Take any girl Of fourteen OF fifteen
which is tho common marriagcablc
ago in Mormondom-c even an educated
girl, and how able is sho to form
opinions and right judgments ? Then
leave out the education, and her abili-
tics will surely be at tho minimum.
So, by these three levers do Mormon
men, wise in their generation, act
upon tho hearts Of the women among
them: First, ~ appealing to the reii.
gious clement so strong in every
woman; next by keeping her in ig-
norancc of everything that might
show her tho fallacy Of the claims to
superiority Of tho men; and lastly,
by throwing upon childish shoulders
burdens of care and weights of res
possibility under which mature
womanhood must often faint. We arc
reminded of Him who pronounced
woe of old upon those "bind heavy
burdens and grievous to be borne,"
and lay them upon others shoulders.
The place occupied by q Mormon
wife in her husbands household is
simply that of q servant, with fewer
privileges than has Jane tho cook, or
Lucy tho waiter, in our domestic
economy. She has no "aftcrnoon
out"-no wages to Go rs she will with
mo followers" and no chance of
change. But she has hard work, un-
rcalizablc in our comfortable houses;
tho privilege Of waiting upon the mas
ter Of the house when no chooses to
call upon her services; and the belief
that the moro patiently she bears the
cross Of tho present, tho moro beauti-
full will bo tho crown of the future she
hopes to wear.

Dear Banner below you will find
an article relative to immigration
suggested by a letter from an ac-
quaintancc Il trust fricnd) of ebct-
ter days" ante-6eNun. If you regard
it worthy Of publication, or calculat-
cd to contribute in any wise, to n
"consummation dcvoutly to be wish
cd, you may insert it in the columns
of tho Banner: CATO.
Plan for tho rccupcration of tho
South, by fostering the emigration of
"froe and independent settlers in fam
ilics."
1st. Lct.cach and every proprietor
who has q thousand 0,OO0) acres of
land, either arabic or in virgin forest,
beyond what is necessary for the sup
port of himself and family, partition
said body into plots Of forty (4O)
acres each.
I'd. This done, let him say to the
cmigrant who may desire to locate, I
will give you title in fee to this or that
plot as the emigrant may select, for
your bond (securcd q mort gage Of the
plot,) conditioned for the payment of
forty (s40) dollars annually for the
term of ten (l0) years.
l su zgscst title in fee, because this
will give tho cmigrant or tenant tho
"strongcst of human motive interest"
TO bcautify and improve his plot,
whilo tcnant-at-will, or for years
can havo no such motive, not knowing
when he may DO cvictcd. The tenant
IN fee rs he plants his shade trees,
his orchard, or his vineyard can safely
say, l may not live 10 reap tho benefit
Of these, but "bonc of my bone, and
flesh and flesh Of my flesh" will.
Let us sec how this will operate rs
far as the proprietor is concerned.
by this means he will have upon his
body of q thousand 1,O0O) acres,
twenty-five (2O tenants, each paying e
annually forty (si0) dollars, acmrega-
ting oEc thousand ($1,00O) dollars,
and this, too, for land that might t
otherwise not only lie idle, out really
be an expense to tho extent of taxa
ton at least. Let us now look at tho
subject from the cnligrant or tenants
stand point. 1t will take, perhaps,
four (1) acres for his dwelling and
ouI-DuiiiiiioS. hctLlicC LncSo ana lie
has left for cultivation thirty-six (3G)
acres, which, if planted in cotton,
without accidents, that cannot be
forcsccn, and therefore cannot be
guarded against. with proper manuring
and like culture will yield (19) bales
of cotton weighing four hundred (4OO)
pounds each, which, at tho moderate
prico of twelve and a half (122) cents,
(should cotton ever again get that
low,) will bring the tenant nine (s90O)
hundred dollars. Now deduct four
hundred (5400) dollars to cover his
annual payment, support. and con-
tingcncics, and tho tenant has left
five hundred ($500) dollars to begin
his second year with, on his invest
mont of forty lS4O dollars. Thcro
are other advantages that might ac-
cruo to bothiproprictor. and tenant,
upon which havo not touched, and
which may be tho subject of another
communication. Though no agricul-
turist, theoretically or practically, I
have endeavorcd TO state in this what
observation and inquiry constrained
mo to believe not only possible but
practicable. CATO.

And the hopes that are long since dead
We long for the brooling wings
or those blue, ctcrual skies
That gilIed the dulicst and mcancst things
With the glory of Paradise,
We are tired OF the ccaseless beat

When the rocks had goae to rest.
And through myrtle blooms OF garden

To see once more. through opening skies,
The eternal. stainless blue
And to walk by the palms Of Paradise,

fifty thousand dollars and lot worth six
thousand dollars for a graded school build
