PITTsBURG Jan. 16-The general impress
sion among business men with reference
to the affairs OF the Westinghouse com
pany was that Notwithstanding the action
OF the advisory board ia returning to the
subscribers 70 the Westinghouse relief
fund their checks the company was no
worse of than it has been. There was a
general improvement noticed In the con
dition Of the Philadelphia company, and
no anxiety is felt about the latter corpora
ton. The earnings OF the Philadelphia
company for the past year aggregate
54OO,O0O, and unless forced into an entan-
clement with the electric company will
continue to pay all paper falling due on
sight.
Three suits were entered today against
the Westinghouse Electric company and
the Westinghouse Manufacturing com

stone National bank, of Erie, to recover
$200l. "a on promissory note r. ID. Nut

tion in the matter. He will be in Pitts

Constructing These Buildings.
The conditions for success in keeping
ice depend on the exclusion of The leo
itself from actual contact with the air,
while there must ut the game time he
good ventilation at tho top Of the mass
to remove the collected vfpor and FREQ
drainage at the bottom for carrying otf
the water, says the New York World,
A properly constructed icehousc, there
fore, includes the following points: An
alright foundation and sides, thorough
drainage without admission Of air be-
meath, "A watertight roof and ample VEN
tilation above. These principles OBJ
served, the building may he of any fash
ion or of any material.
A nearly or quite square form is the
most economical for an icehouse. which
nowadays is, as II rule, built above
ground. A slanting roof is preferable,
though where felt roofing is employed a
fat roof, with very little slope at the
rear, may be made, provided the height
Of the building is such rs to secure at
least one foot of air space above the
upper packing for ventilation The roof
may be Of common boards, shingles or
other material, provided it is water
IroOf; it ought to be made with broad
caves Some builders whitcwash both
the outside aud roof Of their houses with
view to rejecting the heat. Ventila-
ton is best gained through a cupola. 1t
will be found convenient to have doors
for removing the ice placed near the top
and near the bottom of the house. Saw
dust is the best material for packing the
walls, for the foundation on which the
packing is begun and for covering the
ice when the packing is completed. The
usunl rule calls for a packing of sawdust
one foot thick ut the bottom and sides OF
the ice and two feet at the top.
A cheap house may be built with single
walls and preserve ice fairly well if !.
space Of fourteen to eighteen inches IS
left between the walls and tie ice and
packed with sawdust as filling i'll the ice
proceeds. For permanent house, how
ever, 1t is better to make the walls double
and pack the space with sawdust. In
packing, the ice ought not 10 come in
contact with the wooden sides. If the
Walls are Q'uDIe SIN Ut clbnI inches Oh
sawdust between the walls and the ice
will be sufficient. a location on sandy
or porous soil, where the drainage VIII
be mostly absorbed, is desirable. The
usual plan is TO dig a foundation eighteen
inches to two feet deep in a dry gravel
or sandy soil. If the soil is not dry the
foundation is dug two feet deeper and
filled to that extent with broken stone
coarse gravel and sand, The larger the
mass the better the ice will keep, and 1t
hardly pays 10 build a house that Will
hold less than twenty-five to twenty-five
tons. \ usual size is II by - in the
clear, y house 10 by . on the door and
10 feet high, inside measurement, will
hold about twenty-five tons OF ice.
