Ammonia Power for Trains,

A Philadelphia civil engineer, who has
recently returned from England, found
that railroad from Manchester to Boil
ton is being operated by novel proc
ess, called the anhydrous ammonia mo-
tor. cts name indicates it's nature.
Ammonia is the most ever present of
all the elements, and it's marked afin-
ity for water is its chief and distinguish
ing characteristic. It is a well known
fact that ammonia will make its way
to water as surely as an object thrown
in the air will be drawn to the earth
again by the force Of gravity. Now it
is simply this Characteristic of ammo
MIA that an English scientist, aided by
shrewd inventor, has turned to prac-
tical use as motor power. The afin-
ity Of ammonia for water is an energy
that these two men have utilized. The
scientist made the discovery and the
inventor has made curious little con-
trivance to fit it. It consists of a small
box in which are placed in proper prox-
unity jars of water and of ammonia,
SO arranged in juxtaposition as to gen
crate and direct the energy of the affinity
described, and power is obtained suf-
fcient to run train of cars"

CUTTING UP THE BLOCKS.

ssThence it enters the molds or cans.
To freeze block Of ice, say of S00
pounds, requires sixty hours of constant
work under temperature Of about IS
to 20 dogs. Fair. It is necessary to
freeze slowly in order to get absolutely
crystal clear ice. Then it is taken out,
sawed into suitable sized blocks, and is
ready for delivery to customers" For
a plant which will turn out fifteen
tons in twenty-four hours the running
cost is estimated at $3.50 ton. This
of course does not include the outlay on
the original investment for machinery.
Nearly every large city of the United
States now has from one to a dozen
establishments where ice is manufac-
tured. All of them are said to be doing
a profitable business, and the annual
output is estimated at s, 100000 tons.
So, it will be seen, mans ingenuity
can overcome almost any difficulty,
and in case Of shot winter" no one
need go without supply of ice at rea-
sonable cost. The tscoal famine is so
remote that it may be relegated to the
consideration Of those yet unborn. By
the aid of alcohol, electricity and other
devices yet to be utilized our descend
ants will probably be able to struggle
along and find comfort and even luxury
on this gray old planet we call the earth,
even If dame nature does turn cranky.

The vine Market in Mexico,

American exporters of fruit trees, cut
tings, etc., are finding a new and grow
ing market in Mexico, where great at
tention is now being given to the cult
walton of fruit, and especially to viii
culture. One nursery established an
agency in Mexico three years ago, and
during the first year exported 100000
grape cuttings; the second year there
was an increase Of $4,000 cuttings, and
SO far this year 100000 cuttings have
been sold. The American vine is a great
improvement upon the native vine, and
produces from fifteen to twenty-five
punches of grapes, while the latter yields
from three to five punches.

AN ICE MACHINE.

derful Greek is the declaration of Solo,
mon, who writes in proverbs" "As the
cold Of snow in time Of harvest, so is
faithful messenger to them that send
him, for he refreshes the soul of his
masters"
The Caucasian of the present seems to
indorse Solomon and to ignore Aristotle.
At any rate the annual harvest OF nat
ural ice in the United States is now
nearly 35,0O0,000 tons, and this often
being insufficient for the demand, as be-
fore limited, Yankee genius has made
good the deficit. Professor Twining, of
New Haven, owes his distinction to the
fact that forty years ago he demon
strated the feasibility of making ice in
large quantities by the use Of chemicals.
Sulphuric ether was the principal agent
employed by him, and the method he
adopted s. still known as the ''compres-
eie1l' system. Subsequent tests, how
ever, showed that anhydreus ammonia,

On reaching his majority he located
in Burlington, Ia, where he earned liv-
ing by toll of various kinds and studied
law in the intervals. In 1882 he went to
Helena, Mon, which is still his home,
and where he is known as a practicing
lawyer, but he soon got into active poll
tics; was first the territorial delegate,
and when the territory became a state,
late in 1889, he was elected its first con-
gresham. He was defeated, however,
in the attempt to succeed himself, and
then received from President Harrison
the Office of commissioner Of the general
land Office.
In the Fifty-frst congress he was
chairman of the committee on mines
and mining, and as such was active in
having protective duty put on the

or ammonia gas, best answered the pug
pose of artificial refrigeration.
"There are" says recent authority,
"three principal parts in the complete
ice or refrigerating machine-t the engine
and ammonia pumps, in which the dry
gas is compressed to the point of lique-
faction; condenser, in which the COM
pressed gas is cooled into liquid form,
and series of evaporating coils, in
which the liquid gas re-expands into a
gas, thus cooling the air or water in
which they are plunged. The ammonia
is supplied to the machine from heavy
iron drums, it being first allowed to en-
ter the evaporating coils, whence it is
drawn into the compression pumps,
when it begins its ceaseless round of
compression, liquefaction and expan-
sion.
"The ice machine is really cold pro-
ducing machine, and is utilized chiefly
for refrigerating purposes. There are
two methods, the direct expansion sys-
tenn and the brine system. By the for
mer plan the gas expands into coils dis
posed in the rooms to be cooled; by the
latter plan the coils are immersed in
huge iron or steel tanks, their size vary
ing with the size Of the plant. These
tanks are filed with brine, which rapid
" falls to temperature far below freez-
ing. From these tanks the intensely
cold brine circulates through system
of pipes, and returns again and again to
the tank. This is the usual plan fol-
lowed.
SIN the making Of ice, cans or molds
are plunged into the brine tanks and
distilled water is frozen in the cans
The complete method is as follows: The
exhaust steam, after it has done the
COMPRISING of the ammonia gas, is util-
lied. This steam is passed through a
volume of water to wash it, in order to
take out the oil or traces Of oil. The
steam is then filtered and after that con-
densed into water again. The same
water is used for cooling the compressed
ammonia gas before the iquefaction Of
said gas takes place. After the water
has been condensed it is never allowed
to be exposed to the atmosphere, but is
kept in system of pipes up to the time
that it is filed into the cans or molds in
which the ice is frozen.
ssThe water passes through the filter
and condenser into a SO called water
regulator, which works automatically,
and thence is taken into deodorizer
for the purpose of doing away with
the unpleasant taste and smell Of con-

Ancestors of the Horse.

Some interesting facts about the geo.
logical ancestors Of the horse have been
made known by Professor Marsh. Vari,
GUS forms of horselike animals that lived
in America in those remote times known
to the biologists as the eocene, miocene
and pliocene epochs, and which may
have occurred millions of years ago,
have been unearthed, and science has
not shrunk from the task of reconstruct
ing these animals from their fragment
airy remains.
The curiously interesting statement is
made by Professor Marsh that "the old
est ancestor of the horse-as yet undis-
covered undoubtedly had five toes on
each foot and probably was not larger
than rabbit, perhaps much smaller. y
He even ventures to predict in which of
the geological strata this animal will
probably be found and suggests that it
be named "Hippops."
In modern times horse is occasion
ally seen which possesses extra toes,
thus showing the existence of slight
tendency, under certain conditions, to
revert to the peculiarities of it's remote
ancestors.
This tendency is one of the proofs
which science has to offer that the noble
and beautiful animal, whose services
add so much to the powers and the en-
joyments of man, has really been devel-
oped from those queer beasts of ancient
times to which the biologists have given
such names as eohippus, orohippus, pro-
tohippus, miohippus and pliohippus.-

1t has been a hard fight, and no one
should deceive himself with the idea
that it is over, or, indeed, that 1t has
properly begun. Wehave the facts,the
arguments, the courage of our convict
ions to sustain us, and these must be
made to continue the battle against the
only influence the Republican candi-
date has at his command, money. 1t Is
money alone that we have to fear, and
every movement of the Congressional
campaign from this to its close must be
made with full knowledge and appre-
citation Of the powerful and unscrup-
ulous influence that must be met. That
the Republican leaders are badly
frightened, almost panic-stricken, is
made apparent by the frantic appeals
that are being sent out from this city,
some of which are virtual confession
that their cause is lost. They concede
that there is a detection among the
working classes which 1t will be most
difficult to overcome, and which if not
overcome must prove disastrous to the
cause of Morgan. The battle is ours
if we can but hold our own.
