Is then allowed TO expand and the heat necessar-
lily absorbed during the expansion is drawn either
from The water TO be frozen from a solut ion OF
brine, which does not freeze at the ordinary
freezing temperature, and thus becomes, to
speak, a vehicle for the cold. To describe the
various machines in use Is, OF course, out OF the
question, for among those OF the second class
there Is great variety OF construction, because
of the great differences which exist In the
properties OF the liquors used. In all
cases 1t is the so-called latent heat or evapora-
ton that Is utilized and. did the efficiency or the
method depend only on this, water would I'M
doubleday be the best material on account OF the
great latent heat of its vapor. But important
from practical point OF view are the vapor
pressures thai come into play throughout The
range OF temperature employed in the ether
machine which may be taken as type. The
ether on being yaporized In the refrigerator I'M
der a partial vacuum is drawn over and COM
pressed TO the liquid state IN the condenser.
which is kept cool by circulating water from the
condenser; IL is then led back 10 the refrigerator
to be re evaporated. The great difficulty In ma
chimes OF the ether tyieis to prevent leakage,
SO as to keep the partial vacuum really efficient;
and, moreover. while ia most respects superior
TO all the other substances employed. ether has
an awkward tendency under the Influence OF fire..

characteristic of this second class OF machines,
as compared with those Of the ether type, Is that

gaseous at ordinary Temperatures and pres

MILITARY SERvICE-G. Y, City. 1t depends
altogether upon The intent aud purpose Of the
German born but naturalized American citizen
In returning TO live there permanently or only
on visit whether the authorities Will impress
him into the military service or not. To your
first question. whether the youth who left Ger
many when ID years OF age and returns after
majority after having Ten0unced his allegiance
can be impressed, the answer would be no. To
your second, surprising he leaves Europe after
he Is 20 or over ~ ht to be soldier ana desert
ing Germany only not 10 be soldier" the an.
swer Will be that he will ina himself in the
army very quickly, Germany being very Jealous
OF her rights In this respect and not at all prone

native sons.

ACQUIRING WATER RIGHTS j L., Ls-
moore Cal. There is no way of acquiring water
rights, other than where the water runs OF
