IT appears that very satisfactory re-
suits have been reached in experiments
made with II. Caillette's apparatus for
producing a temperature of from ninety
degrees to one hundred and ten degrees
Fahrenheit below zero, by the expan-
sion of carbonic acid. The apparatus
consists of two concentric vessels with
a small annular space between them, a
spiral coil being placed inside the inner
vessel, and this is put in communication
with a closed vessel containing liquified
carbonic acid gas At its lower end the
coil is isconnected with the annular space,
and at its upper stop-cock is fitted
When used the inner vessel is filed with
alcohol, the stop-cock on the carbonic
scid vessel is fully opened. and the cock
on the spiral partly opened. when the
liquid passes slowly into the coil and
takes the form Of snow. From the coil
Il passes into the annular chamber, in
which are placed pieces Of sponge soaked
in alcohol, which arrest all the acid that
has not become gaseous, while the gas
itself passes out Of the apparatus
through bent tube. With about FIVE
and one-fourth pints Of alcohol in the
inner vessel. and consuming four and
one-half to Eve and one-half pounds Of
liquid carbonic acid. temperature Of
ninety-five degrees Fahrenheit can be
obtained in few minutes

sion home, argued: This woman stated
that she was compelled to pay to her
master $6 a day as portion of her life
of shame; yet it he's not been shown
that she was compelled to lead that life
under fear OF life, and consequently she
is guilty. What is the object of this
Muey in marrying this woman? If it
was euch commendable object, why
did he not go to the house and take her
out and marry her? Why was she taken
away and held by Constable Rogers for
20 hours before she was surrendered to
the police station? II she was per-
mitted to 60 and come at will her al
legged lover could have married her at
any time.
This girl is now under the influence of
some one. We should throw around her
the protection of law, and not permit
these people to take her out of this court
room to house OF prostitution. Had
there been marriage license issued be-
fore this woman was kidnapped? This
haste to marry her is merely to transfer
her from one master to another-from
one house Of prostitution to another.
The case was submitted, and Justice
Owens announced that he would take
the case under advisement until next
Tuesday.
The woman, Chez Fong, was remanded
to the custody of the ladies of the Chi
neee mission home, to which place she
was taken.
