why Not Refrigerate I?


The present heated term suggests the
possibility of more throughly utilizing the
refrigerating principle. 1t has been de-
monstrated that cities can be heated by
steam. Why not, therefore, cool them by
the refrigerating process The success 10
cooling the Madison-Square Theatre and in
reducing The temperature OF the White
House shows that the principle Is sound
and capable Of almost unlimited appi.
cation. There Is no more need OF going
TO Iceland in the summer than TO Panama
10 the winter, for with DR.. Jennings's new
apparatus one can convert his house into a
Labrador, or, If he wishes lower tenn
perature than that, can make bis par
lors as cool as the back OF an iceberg
This will save all expense OF going away
in the summer to keep cool. And II Il
can be applied TO houses, there should b,
no reason why it cannot also be applied TO
cities. The acknowledgment should not
be discouraged in the beginning, and If
they should succeed they will receive the
blessings OF a wilted and melting commu-
nifty. The subject deserves attention.
Buckle built philosophy on climate. He
contended that man was the creature and
product OF the climate he lived in. The
civilized man is manufacturing his climate
TO order. There seems to be nothing to
hinder eur having any such temperature as
we choose. And perhaps the next tr-
umph OF science will be in this direction.

a youpS GtxI Holds a Mad.Dog.

TFrom the Elmira Advertiser, July l2'J
A circumstance which occurred In syria
cuse recently is worthy OF more than pass
ing mention. Mrs. Palmeter, OF that city,
wa. passing along one OF the streets, having
with her small pet dog, which all at once
showed symptoms OF hydrophobia -froth'
ing at the mouth and swapping on all sides.
Mrs. Palmeter attempted to seize the ant
NAL, but be eiuded her grasp and endeavor-
ed to bite her, when the brave girl who ac-
companied ber-her daughter, only fourteen
years Of age--caught the dog by the neck
and held it fast, calling to her mother TO
hasten and get some man to come and kill
it. The mother saw that this was the only
course and hurried away, but 1t was some
time before she could get help. When she
returned, accompanied by gentleman who
had volunteered to finish the brute, she
found the brave girl, with flushed face and
flashing eyes, hanging on TO the mad crea-
ture, which was lsking desperate efforts TO
bite her. The dog was quickly dispatched
without injury 10 any one.
