The Russian Coffee Pot.

The Russian coffee rot is one of the
most recent additions to the list of in
ventlons for those who will not or
cannot learn to make coffee. 1t is
curiously christened after a nation
that is devoted to tea. 1t offers pro-
cess of making coffee successfully at
the table, but it will be useful to
camping out parties especially. This
coffee pot consists of an oval copper
vessel suspended over an alcohol lamp.
In the center of this oval there is
compartment which holds just coffee
enough to make one cup or five cups,
according to capacity of the pot. In
the lower part there is a compartment
that holds only just the amount of
water needed. This is put in cold the
alcohol lamp is lit and as soon as the
water begins to boil hard the oval is
reversed and the water percolates
through the coffee. 1t.cannot fail to
make cup of good coffee, providing
the coffee is good and has been prop
erly powdered.

Dan Rice and the Judge,

lectures some nowadays and knows how
to give an interesting talk. Occa-

nearly fifty years ago, and who recalls
his grand old educated horse Excelsior,

III its review of the result of tn e
late Election, The Phenix is pleased
to say Mr.. Pearce was the weakest
man on the legislative ticket having
failed to carry his own county. The
DIR. fOrgets that there was no
democratic party in Stevens county
on election day; it was absorbed by
the Alliance. The Governors vote is
usually safe to base calculations on,
and Judge Wilson got in the whole
county 242 votes; to our personal
knowledge a number of these were
republican, so that it would be safe
to say 200 was the entire vote polled
by the democratic party. Mr.. Pearce
received 4l9or double the vote of his
party; it always takes strong man
to dc this; and especially so when we
consider how hard the, Republicans,
Alliance and ProhibItonists fought
for their candidates. Abbott says,
"When the smoke cleared away
after the last great charge of the old
guard on the British lines at
waterloo there was no old guard left"
Such was the condition of the
democracy on Nov. 4th. The vote
compared with the vote Of two
years ago gives the following:
Eugene Wilson. 1888. ..... ........... 525
Chos. Wilson, 1890. Observation-Disclosures. 242
LOS5 '''' 900
Vote for Merriam in 1885,. ........ Ola
f.- 1899. ........... 453
Loss. ......... ".'.'. ...s........ loO
Thus will be seen, that two thirds
almost, of the Alliance vote was
democratic.

Water Centurios Ago.
Tho fact that it Is now possible to
supply artificial ice on . scale and at .
price suited to the needs of a great city
is . noteworthy example of the applica-
ttons Of science TO the exigencies Of
modern life. The notion once preva-
lent that noxious microbes were de-
stroyed by congelation, and that no
danger was incurred BY using Ice taken
from rivers and ponds known to be con-
taminatea by sewage, has long since
been discarded. There is reason to be.
lieve that in the United States, where
the consumption Of ice water is tAordi-
nately great, natural ice has been the
medium of propagating notable
amount of disease.
10 destroy those microbes, which are
the germs of typhoid fever and other
dangerous maladtcs, water should be
boiled, OF, better yet, distilled, before
1t Is subjected to the congealing process.
VI course, such precautions are only
possible In the case of artificial ice, and
If the public were once convi-c ced that
the manufacturers of that commodity
were careful to provide such safeguards
against disease, the use Of natural ice
would gradually be abandoned, pro-
viled, that is to say, the artificial prod
uct could be procured as cheaply.
It is an interesting fact that ice was
artificial.y produced in India long be.
fore the invention of machines for the
purpose. In the upper provinces water
was made to freeze by exposing it dur.
ing cold nights in porous vessels or bot.
ties wrapped in moistened cloth. In
Rengal shallow pits were dug and Allied
nearly full with dry straw, on which
were set fiat, porous pans containing the
water to be CONCEALED. Exposed over
night to cool wind the water evaporat
ed at the expense of its own heat, and
the consequent cooling took place with
sufficient rapidity tooverbalance the In
tlux of heat through the cooled air above
or the badly conducting straw below,
Ice made in this way, however, wat
costly, and when in 1888 natural ice was
shipped from the United States to Cal
cutta 1t was sold for half the price oi
the manufactured article. On the other
hand, machine shown at the Vienna
Exhibition in 1870 made thirty hundred
weight of ice an hour at cost of TWEEN
ty-fve cents hundred-weight, and II
is now asserted that ice can be manu-
factured ON q large scale for less tha'
81 ton.
There has certainly been wonderful
development of the ice trade since the
pioneer, William Tudor, of Boston
shipped the first cargo of ice to Mar
Unique in 1905. At one time American
ice was sent to England, but Norway
now monopolizes the ice market of the
Old World. 1t is said that Norwep lar
ice is superior in staying powers te
the manufactured product. - Cleve and
