Ice Made By Natural Gas,

An inventor in Buffalo, N. Y, has
devised process for making ice by
utilizing the intense cold created by
the explosion of natural gas when lib
Grated from the high pressure at which
tissues from the wells. In theexperi-
mental plant the gas is used at it's
initial pressure OF from $50 to 200
pounds to drive q small engine. After
use in the engine thegas exhausts into
q closed box, and the expansion gen.
crates sufficiently cold to form slabs
OF ice three inches thick to the amount
OF three-quarters OF a ton in a day. 1t
is claimed that the principle can be
applied economically on a large scale.

leaving me nothing but their blessing and
myself as a. legacy to rich and eccentric
aunt. She having already adopted an
orphan girl, and not wishing TO he plagued

year. Not till then did Aunt Matilda con-
descend to receive me.
She did not greet me with much warmth.
She kissed me and then rewarded a fat
poodle which nestled in her lap with the
same attention.

A GREAT INVENTION.
Tho Art of Hardening Copper Rcdisoov-
crcd by Ferdinand AIiard.

Success comes early in life to some peo-
pie and late to others. Some, like Byron,
wake to find themselves famous, while
others are crowned with laurels only after
long years and many efforts.
This last is the case of Ferdinand Allard
the inventor of hardened copper. Allurd
can render copper so hard that it can be-
ground to an edge. and not only can it he
used to replace steel, but it's substitution
is often an Improvement
The reality and genuineness of the ill.,
vention has been attested by such Il well
known scientist rs the Able Professor Lit
famine, OF Laval university, Quebec, and
Sergeant Major Richard, of the Quebec
Rifle corps, who fired three times with II
Snider rifle at n sheet 1sl inches thick In
every case the bullets were shattered. En-
periments made i'll the British Royal dock
yards on piece of the same thickness have
been eminently successful also
Allard has already made axes, razors
and other cutting tools of this prepared
copper, which takes an excellent edge, and
such pieces of cutlery have the advantage,
rs he carefully pointed out, of being tenn
pered throughout, whereas tools of iron
and steel have only the edge tempered.
The inventor himself, Ferdinand Allard,
is n typical French Canadian-honest, in
dustrious and good tempered.
He was born ut Cap Sante, Que, sew
enty-siX years ago. Allard early showed IA
marked preference for blacksmithing and
when he was about twenty-six he went to
New York to learn his trade more thor
oughly.
"For sixteen years." Alard said, in
speaking of his invention, 81 lived in New
York working at my trade. Well, one day
