Some eigbteen months AGO Mr. Jacob

ata of one Of the heat engineering and
naoobinist Schools of Karisrube Raden.

mol two Of which were natented in the
ffnitad states Patent office at Washing
tan nnder date of March 10th. and NAV
S5tb 1855 One of these Ia devise for

hv introdncing liouid ammonia in con-
nsctIon with the oil and no possible
chance exists for anv loss of ammonia
aimee the lower mart of the pump is con-
stantIy filled with oil two inches deep.
Tbe machinery is worked with less wa
ter than any other machine in propor-
lion TO strength and size, The motive
power is supplied by an eight horse
bower steam engine of the latest and
most improved pattern and capable to
produce four thousand pounds of ice
every twenty-four hours. The boiler
which supplies the steam is of twelve
horse power resting on furnace which
is a model of construction and contains
some Innovations that are new, novel and
useful. one of which is an apparatus by
the means OF which all the black
coal smoke is consumed, the
method is rs simple as it is inexpensive
and consists OF heated air flues, begin
nlng and entering in front and on the
sides OF the furnace and running back to
the confusing chamber. Persons
looking from a distance at the tall chin
ney would think that the establishment
was at a standstill, as no smoke can be
seen Issuing from the smoke stack.
The whole "modus operandi' is SO
simple in construction that 1t required
only two days for Mr.. Schuehle to in
struct two young men in the art and
mechanical secrets of handling and
manipulating the whole machinery
and its various necessary adiuncts in
all details from raising steam to pulling
the blocks of ice out of the freezing
tank. Mr.. Schuehle is an old resident
of this country having been in this state
for II years and out OF this for Is years
a resident of San Antonio, where he was
the first in company with X. c. Nixon
to start the Alamo Iron foundry in
1876.
This is the fourth machine of Its kind
and mode Of construction that has been
erected in Texas. They all work
like charm in their respect
i've places. The first one on
this plan was set up for Mr..
VIM. Hoefing, ST., one Of San Anto-
MOS most enterprising citizens. The
second one was set as a refrigerator and
ice manufacturing machine at Gonzales,
Texas, and which is now in a splendid
working order. The third one was set
up some short time back on the frontier,
which is also doing splendid work. The
latest and fourth, as already said, is the
