The Alaska Refrigerator.
What is the use Of refrigerator

What Is the use or q refrigerator?
A great many makes are Of no account,
as can be testified by numbers of families
who have tried them. have been looking
up the solid comforts Of summer, aud have
naturally sought refrigerators In which to
keep cool. l have found out the points
necessary to make complete refrigerator
they are:
First, The preservation of perishabls
food.
Second. The disposal OF the foul vapors
which constantly exhale from provisions.
Third, Dryness OF atmosphere IN the pro-
vision chamber.
Fourth, Low and unyarying tempera-
ture.
Fifth, An economy Of ice.
All OF these results are produced by the
celebrated Alaska, charcoal filled, dry air
refrigerators. which are plainly demon
strated on scientific principals, by which
low temperature and dryness OF air are
naturally and inevitably obtained and it pos
sesses provision chamber free from odor,
1t has preserved fresh meats perfectly for
three weeks In the hottest weather, and it
produces better results with less ice than
any other refrigerator In the country.
Several points are worthy of mention
that exist in the Alaska, and make it the
very best refrigerator in the market. The
currents Of air are kept in constant motion
BY the opposing forces of beat and GOLD.
The ice lies upon an ice rack made OF cor
rugated galvanized iron, which is an excel
lent conductor. The air, by the simple
force OF gravity in settling TO the center in
the opening under the ice, comes In contact
with this iron surface. as cold as ice itself,
and which as surely condenses the vapor
left in the air as the vapor in your breath is
condensed when you breathe on cold pane
of glass on winter day. The air In the
provision chamber, warmer or lighter, and
filed with foul vapor arising from the
food, forced by the cold air falling
to the bottom, passes up through the side
fues to the central opening over the ice.
From the upper opening IL gradually settles
down over the ice to the coolest focus under
the Ice, and becomes not only cold, but pure
and dry by the condensation of the foul
vapor, which drops into the water pan and
runs OF with the melting Zoe, just as the
vapor in the atmosphere Ia condensed into
drops OF water in hot weather on the out
side Of pitcher Of ice water. BY thus re-
moving the vapor all odor is removed, for
the odor is In the vapor-snd dry, pure cold
air falls In the provision chamber.
These results are achieved In the Alaska,
and In no other refrigerator. The Alaska
is undoubtedly the very best refrigerator
that can be had, and 1t is manufactured in
all the latest styles from handy household
size to an elaborate sideboard. They are
on sale'by E. A. Schwarz of this city, who
has full line on exhibition at his NAM
moth establishments.

A Grand Expanse OF Salt Water
From q High Bluff

From q High Bluff
There is no island property on this coast
SO grandly peculiar as Wilmington Island.
What is known as Tilton's Point is one of
the most picturesque spots around Savan-
nah. The bluff is bold, giving a gram
view Of a magnificent sheet of water, whic,
literally teens with fish, aud is the home of
the famous Thunderbolt oysters. This
bluff is shaded by massive old liveoaks,
which in beauty and size are second only to
those at Bonaventure. Gently sloping away
from the bluff is open cleared ground,
where the luscious sea island watermelon
Ia brought to state of perfection, and
where every fruit and vegetable known in
this section can be raised abundantly.
Life on this island has often
been described by those ia
miliar with its advantages as one
of aase and even luxury, the equable eli
mate being conducive to old age and free
dom from the ills that in malarial climate
make life so wearisome.
1t was brilliant scheme, contrived by
live. progressive men, to give the public a
chance to obtain building lots on this favored
spot.
This company has not started out with
the expectation of making large profits.
Its prime object is to secure for themselves
aud associates pleasant, healthy summer
surplus lots to improve the property aud
add to its desirability.
The first sale of lots will take place on
Thursday, 2Sth. There will be a steamer
from the city in the morning and also trip
from ThunderbolJ In the afternoon. Those
desiring to attend thu sale should get plat
and read the advertisement carefully.-Ad.
