The cold storage companies now
springing up in the South and West,
use anhydrous ammonia, which comes
from the soft coal used in making gas.
1t is driven of in process of cooling.
It costs nothing but for fixtures to re-
fine and make use of it. A ton of coal
yields 20 gallons of ammoniated water,
from which the ammonia is separated
in vapor, then forced into liquefaction
by heavy pressure. When allowed to
return to gas, it takes away the heat OF
whatever it touches.
