ARTIFICIAL ICE FOR NEW-YORK.

The Scientific American discusses at some
length the possibility of supplying New York
with cheap artificial Ice which shall compete
successfully with the natural commodity. 1t
doubts if O satisfactory solution of all the
difficulties involved can be reached, but
believes that the production of 1ce-making
machinery lis only yet IN its infancy, and that
so long ms 1t is theoretically possible to make
ice for less than a dollar ton in or near our
great cities, just so long inventors will have
in this a promising field to work in. After
pointing out some OF the advantages of an arti-
fetal supply of ice it adds: 1t may be that the
most economical place for ice manufacture for
New-YOrll consumption all things considered,
would be up the Hudson where the water is
sweet, perhaps above the State dam mt Troy.
Ground space opposite or above Lanslngburg
would be comparatively inexpensive. The
water could be drawn from the river and would
be uncOntaminatcd by the sewage of Albany,
Troy, and the adjacent towns, as would be the
case if the works were further down the river.
The cOndensing or cooling coils could be
submerged in the river, and one of the chief
items of cost in the production OF ice artifcially
would thus be avoided. The ice as fast rs
manufactured could he placed on river
barges such as are now employed in the trade,
and the daily product could be tOwed down the
river cheaply and with comparatively slight
wastage. II the claims advanced by the makers
of ice-machinery are verified in practice on q
large scale there ought to be q good margin
for profit in an undertaking Of this character"

RED SNOW.

On the 25th of April, there fell in the French
Departments Basses-Alps and lsere, an album
dant snow strongly tinReG with red dust. The
red matter was so abundant, that from Barcelo-
nette, all the mountains looked Ochrey up to
$500 to 3,000m. Above thus, the snow re-
maincd quite white. A notary of the place had
a quantity Of the snow collected, and after
fusion and filtration, sent some of the dust To
NJ. Daubrcc who found in it a large proportion
of carbonate of lime, also mica, and two fell
spals, one of these being OrthOse., The powder,

that the same kind of substance had fallen in
1916, precisely in the same departments, and

similar dust seem to have fallen in SaOne-et-

CIRCLING TIE NORTH POLE.

A beginning is about to be made, says
Mature, to carry out Lieut.. WcypTccht's proposal
for circle OF observing stations around the
North Polar region. The Danish Government
has resolved to establish station at UpeInivik
IN West Greenland the Russian Government
has granted il subsidy for an observatory at the
mouth OF the Lena, and another on the new
Siberian Islands Count Wilczck is to dcIray
the expenses of station on Nova Hembla
under the direction of Lieut.. Wcyprrcht; the
u. S. Signal Service, under General Mycr, has
received permission to plant an observatory at
Point Barrow, IN Alaska: and il is expected
that Canada will have similar establishment on
some point of her Arctic coast. At the Hamburg
would furnish the funds Tor station in
Spitzbrrgeu and it is expected that Norway
will have an observing post on the extremity
of the Province Of FinmaTk. This ~ good be-
ginning, and il Is hoped that some sort OF agree
ment will be established to have all the OBJ
selvatOns made after II uniform method,
otherwise Their value will be greatly decreased.

Dangers Of the Season.

HE extremely warm weather OF last
week should warn the authorities of
cities and towns of the necessity of
stringent sanitary rules and regulations.
Diseases of all kinds are more likely to
take the form Of distemper and become
epidemic in the summer season than in
the winter or spring. and proper atten-
ton should therefore be paid TO thor
ough cleanliness in and around all
buildings. both public and private. The
attention of the public is often called to
this important fact, not only by the
health authorities, but by newspapers
as well. yet the advice too often goes

AmO urnful illustration of the danger OF
neglecting these matters is found in
the fearful ravages of diphtheria
among the school children of New
Lots, L. l. OF three hundred and fifty
children attending one OF the public
schools, one hundred were attacked
with the disease in its most malignant
type, and out of these thirty-one have
died. The result is of course a panic
among children and parents alike. A
slight examination reveals the fact that
the schoolhouse stands very near large
pond Of stagnant water. which has been
made the receptacle from time to time
of dead animals and decaying vegeta-
BILE matter. The stencil which arose
from the pond could be discerned at a
great distance, and at length the DOR
