FARMERS "a well as dwsliers IN Aus
tin are accustomed to visit the two ICE
factories OF the city, both in success
full operation and both serving the peo-
pie, their comfort and health 10 an in
calculable extent. The pr;I C. pie upon
which the ice-msking machine acts
Is tie same as that which every
housekeeper adopts in freezing creams
in summer. When solids are changed
to liquids, large amount of heat Is
absorbed, and surrounding obi II Is
must supply it; if the liquid is volatL-
ICED, or changed to a gaseous body,
still larger supplies of heat are de-
handed. Thus, If csustic ammonia,
which in its natural condition is a gas
cons or aeriform body, is subjected to
powerful pressure it changes to a
liquid, and in doing so lie forced to
give up large amount of latent heat.
II it is relieved of pressure it again be-
comes aerifurm, and as it demands a
large amount of heat it seizes it from
- bodies in contact. II water is in
contact it is robbed of its latent heat
and becomes frozen, and thus ice is
formed.

The exercises were quite lengthy, reuuir-
ing division, of the programme. Ac-
cordingly part of the exercises we're held
in the morning, and then church began at

ren's fund, raised by collection, the inter
est of which only can be used. This is
for the purpose of aiding young men to
complete their studies. For instance if
there is any man, who has been through
college who desires TO preach, yet lacks the
funds necessary to complete q theological
course, he is assisted from the chidren's
fund. The church yesterday was fney
decorated and the floral offerings very
fine. In the morning Mrs. Hart, vile of
Rev. Hart, of the 9th street church, and
Rev. Geo. r. Palmer. the regular pastor
Of Fifth Avenue oficiated. and last even
