SULPHUR AS A FIRE EXTIN.
GUISHER,

Les Modes suggests that birthstone
should be carried on board every ship, for
use in case Of fire. Half a hundred
weight-30 kilos-Of birthstone would be
sufficient TO abstract the whole of the oxy-
gen from 5Sl cubic feet Of air, thus rem
dering it untitled 10 support combustion.
In a closed space like a ships hold, the
sulphurous Gas produced by The burning
of the birthstone would penetrate where
water from the decks could not be brought
TO Dear, and the density of the gas would
prevent its rising or spreading if care were
taken to close the matches with wet sails,
etc. Il is suggested that the birthstone
should be made up in the form Of large
matches, the ends Of which could be pass
ed through scUttles prepared for them in
the decks or bulkheads in case Of need. 1t
is asserted that 81 or 3 worth Of brim-
stone would be sufficient to strife and
annihilste all traces Of combustion in an
air space of35,000 cubic feet. In cOnnec-
tion with the above We may remark that
chlOrofOrm vapor has been lately found by
a chemist in Antwerp TO act with great
rapidly in exlinguishing the flame of the
vapOr of petroleum. Combustible gases
mixed with chlorOfoT1n vapOr Immediately
lost their explosive properties, and even
their combustibility. 1t IS suggested that
chloroform might be advantageously en-
plOyed upon a large scale for eXtinguishing
fires in petroleum stores aud on board
ship.

AKTfFECTAL ICE.


Ice is so useful in the preservation of
fruit, fresh meat, butter and many
other articles, that the public is largely
interested in its cheap production. The
artificial article is said not to cost over
three eightbs Of a cent a pound, which
Is as cheap as Northern ice can be
transported, allowing nothing for stor-
age, harvesting and profit. We find
IN the Pharmac0l Gazette some account
OF the ice manufacture in Montgomery,
Ala, where 1900 pounds are produced
daily, from which we condense the fol
lowing statement:
Distilled water Is pat into tin cans
thirty iaehes long, nine and half
inches wide, and two and three-fourths
inches thick, which ferrs f5e IN con.
venient shape for handling. These
cans are placed in rows iu tanks filed
with salt water, through which iron
pipes conduct ether. The ether is made
IN another room, and after being puri-
ned, Is pumped into receiver and
brought under a pressure of7O to IlO
pounds to the square inch, which liqui-
fes it. It is then forced through
snail tube TO alarger one which opens
into all the pipes in the tank (about
100 pipes in each tank; it there es-
pands into a gas and fills the tubes, its
capacity for expansion being as to
eco. The ether extracts the latentheat
from the water which surrounds the
tubes, brings it below the freezing
point, The distilled water freezes
readily, but not the salt water which
surrounds the cans. The gas passes on
into a receiver, and is again liquifed
by pressure.
How this pressure is obtained is not
stated-probably by steam. Ina small
way, horse power might be used. The
cans are set for a short time in warm
water to loosen the cakes Of ice, which
when taken from the cans are placed
four together, which soon freeze into
one large solid cake. The slabs weigh
twenty-five pounds each, and four COM
bined one hundred pounds. Sticks
are placed between these larger blocks
of ice TO prevent their freezing to.
gether.
Seeing teams constantly hauling ice
from Whites Creek to Nashville. we
have inquired the price per ton at
which it is sold, and were told seven
teen cents per 100 pounds, so that
natures ice is delivered at a little less
than half the cost of ice made with
ether by machinery. In a good re.
frigeratOr Irish potatoes will neither
sprout nor rot-evils very common in
our summer climate. We need a proper
Northern climate to keep these tubers
IN a first rate condition for eating the
year round. Beets, turnips, onions,
cabbages and all garden vegetables re-
quire low temperature to prevent
chemical changes and deterioration.
Apples, peaches, pears, grapes and
other fruits are often kept 10y freezing,
or the next thing To It. We have
thawed many a busbel of frozen apples
in ice water without harming the fruit.
But the fruit need not be frozen to
keep indefinitely. a. great deal Of
fresh meat Is now frozen to keep for
years, and with ice at half cent a
pound it will pay IN Texas and Middle
Tennessee.

BYRON.

A correspondent Of the NelV York
EUeniHg Post, wh0 was introduced to
Lord byron by Richard Brinsley Sher-
idan IN the green-rOOm OF the old Drury
Lane Tneater, thus describes the per-
sonal appearance of the distinguished
poet:
Lord Byron was standing against
one Of the pillars which supported a
fantastic lantern. He was dressed in
a dark blue dress coat, loose white
pantaloons and yellow vest The panta-
looms were very long and almost covered
his feet. a natural defect rendered
him very sensitive regarding one foot,
at least He could not bear that it
should be looked at. His shirt collar
was ample and turned down over the
collar Of his coat, so as to show his
neck, Of which he had reason to be
vain. 1t was long and white, and sup
ported a noble head, then decorated
with natural brown curls. ! remarked
that his hands, one of which supported
his head against the pillar, were small

FROM the IlaEuOrN post
In 1928 Mr.. Cooper was I'm business in
New York, his native place. His mother
and grandmother were both born on the
present site Of ST. Paui'S Church, Vesey
street and Broadway, and his mother re-
membered seeing the stOckad5 still stand
ing which had been erected TO keep the In
dians out Of infant New Amsterdam. Mr..
Cooper had bought as a speculation the en-
tire magnificent tract in Baltimore, now
owned b. the Canton Company. Balti-
more was then a city of seventy five
Thousand people, rich and prosperous, and
had entered upon the railroad era
On July +, 1925, the cornerstone of the
Baltimore and Ohio road was laid with IN
posing ceremonies by Charles Carroll, Of

a little too much SO-fOr when thirteen

per cent hat been paid in, and shares had
been sold at seventeen, such was
the zeal and confidence of the
people. Bot the chill was immense,
and everything stopped. Dir. Cooper, then
thirty eight years Of AGE, saw new disasters
TO himself in the deprecia, Oh Of his tract
should the road fail. He proposed to the
directors Ia construct an engine 10 he

but inCredulOus. He brought down from

A PERUVIAN REVOLUTION.

The last attempted revolt in Peru
was more amusing than alarming
Leading about sixty men, an adventu.
rer named ArevalO captured the towns
Of Lslay and Mollendo, and then ooolly
compelled the railroad officials TO con-
vey him and his followers by special
train 20 Areguipa. Arrived at the out
skirts Of that important city, the delu-
ded band were attacked and dispersed,
their leader being fatally wounded in
the encounter. Absurd as many South
American rsvolts are, this seems to
equal any of them In the extent Of It's
aims and the insignIhcance of its re-
suits.

STATE CREDIT.

We have before rs n copy Of the
Baltimore Sun, which publishes a COM
munication, from which WE take the
following extract:
"The undersigned has been informed
that the railroads of Tennessee are au-
thorized to pay their large Indebtedness
to the State IN State bonds; two years
are given for this purpose, which no
| doubt viii be extendedtf it proves too
short, as it will; that these railroads
have employed . gentleman, well-known
in Credit Mobilier circles, to purchase
the bon stand to "bear' themarket for
them. In this, those in Tennessee
/ who car aid willingly give help, and
/ The non-payment Of the interest is part
Of the job"
We know nothing Of the soprce o9
this correspondence Information, nor
OF the facts stated, but if it is true, as
he says, that "a gentleman well known
IN Credit Mobilier circles" u engag ed
"tO purchase the bonds and to bear
the market" we regret that he did not
give the gentleman's name, In order
that those interested in our State credit
might look into the matter. This fail
ure to promptly meet the Interest on
our bonds when it falls due is a very
serious matter, mucn more serious than
people generally anticipate. 1t drives
thousands of capital out of the STATE
that otherwise would have been used
here. We have heard of an instance
where party in the State of New
York contemplated loaning $4,000 IN
this State. The party was a lady who
has charge of trust funds when she
would loan st Z Reasonable rate of IN
teFest on long time, but she has heard
that the State has refused to pay her
interest promptly, and inferred from
that, that Tennessee was not a desira-
bic place to loan money. 1t was in
vain to tell her that the obligations of
individuals had nothing to do with
violation on the part Of the State of
her solemn contracts.
1t is our opinion that the prompt
payment of our July interest would
have been a paying investment in Its
immediate results, and in the end ib
would have paid as overwhelmingly.
We firmly believe in the old adage that
honesty Is the best policy. ''-Kno7-
eiIIe Chronicle.
With regard to that portion of the
communication IN the Baltimore Sun
relating 60 the payment of the indebt-
edness of railroads, We viii say that
there has been no recent enactment of
the Legislature Of Tennessee upon the
subject. The law stands as IT has stood
for several years, and there is no imi-
tation in it as to time.
