at the Invitation OF Messrs. strohecker &;
lyerson, we witnessed yesterday, ut the resi-
Gence Of tite former, the successful trans
formation Of water into ice by hand within
tIio s.lort space OF fifteen minutes.
Fnese gentlemen are the ori..fnator5 Of the
process, and have already made application
forietters patent. There is no humbueabout
the; matter, and SO siG1pie is the apparatus
and nl0dus operd,adi that any intelligent lady,
or even servant, can learn all about it in
single day. We propose to describe the pro-
cess, snppressing the name Of the salt that is
used, which costs but thirty-tive cents per
pound, and when mixed with water and
applied can De rcconyerted into its ori@iIlaI
state by simple evaporation in shallow pans
for forf hours in the suns rays without
losing aay OF its value or virtue.

With woOllen cloth rs a non-conductor of
heat, wEs provided with pivot at the bot
tom. Within this there was fitted second
tin can Of the capacity of one quart, with
five spiral DANCES two inches apart attached
to lis outer surface. The top OF this vessel
was tightly closed with cork, but the upper
segment could he removed, but was kept
firmly i'll place by wire hooks or springs.
Just under tic neck of tie cork crank was
adjusted which gave Il rotary motion to this
second can, which was poised on the pivot
