feet. Your correspondent visited the
shaft two years ago, early in Septem-
Der. The Summer had been unusually
hot. No covering kept out the SUMS
rays or sheltered It from the warm air.
The shaft was six or seven feet in
diameter. He sprang down from the
side of the pit TO the solid ice below.
About two gallons of water rested in
depression of the surface. All beneath
was ice, spongy for an inch or two, but
below that as solid as in midwinter. The
shaft is on the northerly side of the
slope, but the sun strikes It in the after
Moons. This phenomenon resembles
that of the well-known ice cave at
Decorah. The two are less than fifty
miles apart. The same cause undoubt-
edly determines the condition of both
these singular ice formations.-Cor. N.

Artificial Ice in Florida,

During the present season the expert
ment of making artificial ice has been
tried with great success in Florida. In
the arctic machine, the one used there,
about fifty pounds of liquid ammonia
are stored in a very strong iron cylin-
der, and this is connected with a coil of
pipes immersed in tank of strong
brine, in this brine galvanized iron cans
holding the water to be frozen are
placed, The liquid ammonia is allowed
to flow through these coils, and, be-
coming gaseous, abstracts from the
water so much heat that it speedily
freezes. Apowerful steam-pump forces
the gaseous ammonia back into the
iron cylinder again, thus liberating
great heat, which is disposed of by cold
water dropping upon the coil of pipes
through which the ammonie passes.
The process is continuous one, and if
the pumps and coils do not leak there
is no loss and the operation may go on
so long as the machinery lasts. The
price of Northern ice in Florida pre-
Yious TO the introduction of the machine
was from ten to fifteen dollars q ton,
while the artificial ice is sold at five
dollars, and thus powerful and sue
cessful competitor with the ice com
panies sprang up. The actual cost of
manufacturing ice in Florida is not far
from seventy cents ton, including the
storing and delivery. 1t should be
stated, however, that fuel in Florida
costs almost nothing. The ice company
have only to haul the waste lumber
from steam saw-mill, fifty rods away,
to obtain their fuel gratuitously.

THERE was time when the magician
who could pour any and every kind of
liquor ordered from the same bottle was
looked upon as magician, indeed.
Our friend, Styles, who knows a thing
or two, says that the keeper of his
restaurant can do as mucb-drawing
" Cincinnati" Milwaukee" "Tole-

he never thinks of setting himself up
as magician, wizard, prestidigateur

Once again the hand of the dead
passed over my face, and at its cold
touch the bright, warm vision vanished
and the scene was changed.
In beautifully appointed and luxu-
rious room a lady was reading-the
same lovely, baneful woman who had
danced with my brother. She was
dressed in cool, loose muslin, and the
lazy languor of her attitude and ex-
preston were bewitching as she half
reclined on a low sofa and listlessly
turned over the leaves of her book.
The full outline of her figure and the
dainty, clean poise of her shapely head
were apparent.
The door opened TO admit a man, my
brother Charley; but, oh, so wonderfully
changed-so pale and haggard and
careworn. He strobe across the room
and flung himself on his knees before
the woman on the sofa, who looked up
with an impatient, displeased expires.
