OCEANS OF ICE WATER.
The Amount of Ice Usrd by the Govern
mont Empioyes at WAshinEton.

The Amount of Ice Tsrd by the Govern
neut Employee at Washington.
THE amount Of ice consumed by the
departments IN Washington is enormous
in the aggregate" said a big dealer in
the article 20 a Washington star rr-
porter. AT the Treasury building alone
a ton and . half of ice IS delivered every
morning for the days coCsuU ptien.
Each room, YOU see, has its water cooler.
or At least. a pitcher, which must be
kept filled with cold drink from uino 4.
N. to four p. n. The ice IS delivered
in great blocks from carts al the door,
and the messengers chop 1t up into
pieces. fill buckets with the Jumps and
carry the buckets all over the building,
distributing 10 each pitcher or cooler its
proper supply. In the cellar there are
big rcfriceratOrs. which arc filled with
: reserved stock. Nothing i put in
these refriroTatOrs except ice, the clerks
not even being allowed 10 keep bottled
beer in them Tor n0Ontilc refreshments.
1t Is tho same way with all she other
departments. The War, State and Navy
together use about IS much as is con
sumed in the Treasury building. BuJit
is the Department OF the interior that Is
the great dcvourer of ice. In the Pen
sion Office and the main building OF the
department together from five 20 six
tons are used every twenty-four hours.
The post-ofice gobbles up twelve hun
dred pounds q day. However, you must
remember that these quantities are al
ways variable. IN summer much more
COOS than in winter. and, II the hot
season il unusually long or intense, We
people who take The contracts are apt
to find them far from profitable.
Each Ge apartment makes its own CON
tract for ice. BIDS are advertised for
annually and the dealer who offers =
supply for the following year ~ the
lowest rate gets the job. 1t is, 10 a Ger
tain extent, 4 gamble, inasmuch as no
| definite amount or ice is agreed upon.
The contractor receives 40 much money
Tor providing a department with all the
frozen water that IL rcquires. whatever
this quantity may be. Taking all the
departments together, with their
branches, il Is probable that they con
sumo about twenty-four thousand
pounds of ice daily, averaging the year
round. This makes total annual con-
sumption of good deal over four thou

4 Very Larre Lung.

A chemical lung" is the latest thing
proposed for the ventilation of tunnels.
1t was lately tested in London by four
teen scientists. y room IJx2S was kept
for an hour At n temperature OF s. de-
grces, and the air was loaded with i'm
purities. The men of science were now
called upon TO enter, and the air was
made still more impure by burning sui
phur and carbonic acid gas. Then the
chemical lung" or SO called punlHah,
measuring 4X2.6, was set in motion.
The temperature was soon reduced 70
90 degrees, aud the air freed from all
impurities. Then fat was burned 70
test the machine for organic substances,
and the ''lung" was started up just in
time TO prevent the examining gentle
men from running out for fresh air.
II i proposed 10 use the invention dur
ing the construction of the channel

4 CASHIERS REVENGE.
How "a chicago sIan Got Ahead OF

How chicago Man Got Ahead OF a
Naughty Bank President
Tho cashier Of a South Water street
fruit house and the president OF one Of
the BIGGEST banks in town had a fnan-
cial disagreement Saturday afternoon
and, according to the Chicago Tribune.
the cashier came OF victorious. The
bank is noted for It's uubending business
methods. 4 draft for 800 on the
South Water street firm came 10 the
bank Ths officers demanded payment
with certified check before -hcy would
turn over the bill OF lading accompany
ing the draft. The cashier OF tho fruit
house and the president Of tho bank
had lively conversation through tho
telephone.
"Our check is good at amy bank in
town" -aid the young man. Nv, can't
keep a stock Of certified checks on
hand"
1--WE won't acccpI any thing but a
certified check" said tho p.. -ilcu-.
The young man returned - his desk
and thought Then Ac hired horse
and buggy and drove over 20 another
bank, where ho drew out 5l5g0 in big
silver dollars. He placed them il bag
laborers carried the heavy load into the
Office. II four o'clock the notary Of the
bank appeared.
There's your moncy." said tho young
man, triumphantly pointing 10 the bag.
The notary tried 70 lift the bag, but he
was not strong, and 1,5oO OF those cart
wheel dollars weigh over - pounds.
The bag never budgcd. The notary

carried over 70 the bank. The young
man insisted that he must have his
draft and his bill OF lading ~ once and
that the necessary counting must be
done in the store. Tho notary was pro-
fame, but profanity didn't do any good,
and he was diplomatic, and diplomacy
failed TO work. In the end he was
forced TO send for three clerks 10 count
the money and hire an express wagon
to carry the bag TO the bank. Then he
turned over the paper and the young
man locked the safe and went home 10
prepare for the peaceful sabbath day.

Brandreth's pills are the Oldest. safest

therefore harmless. They are always the
same and always produce the same eff

ntt,get the consent of the legislature to
its use in furnishing the building, first,
because they tried to get it through in a

appropriate anything, instead of coming

second, owing TO the fact of the intense

In the house the brunt Of the suspicion
naturally and we believe reasonably fell
upon the Mr.. Bond. who was credited
with being the leader Of the Laramie dele
cation. He was openly charged on the
floor Of the house with an attempt to
bride Mr.. Stnrtzall into support OF the
apportionment bill by placing an appro-
pnEtion Of 5000 IN the appropriation
bill to the credit OF the Rawlius peniten.
tiary. This he did not attempt to deny.
Having manifested such inordinate inter
est in the passage of the apportionment
bill it could readily be conceived that he
was a l arty to the q her fraud and it was
against him personally hat most of the
execratious we're pointedly directed.
