ABOUT ICE.
YoU WHIT TO USE THE Pure.
ARTICLE.


The season is now AZ hand when the
consumption OF Ice is quite large, and
when that article is not only o luxury
but in many cases q necessity and en-
tiers the homes of the poor as well as the
rich.
Too much care cannot be exercised in
getting ice that is absolutely pnre IN.
every pnrticniar. Ice that is taken from
atagnant ponds contain the germs Of
disease and Is dangerous TO the health
OF the consumers. Artificial ice when
properly made is free from all impuri-
ties.
In the cholera epidemic in New York
last year the most prominent Physicians
recommended the use of artificial ice as
it is devoid Of all elements of danger
and none but pure water was allowed
to be used. Ice inspectors are being
appointed IN the larger cities OF the
country, and all the ice taken from
ponds that are stagnated and impreg-
mated with impurities, is condemned
aud its sale prohibited. 1t is the duty
OF the health officers TO look into this
N after and see that no impure ice is
sold. We do not want cholera cpl
demic here this summer.
These few opening remarks were sug-
gested TO us by a visit 10 the plant Of the
Parkersburg fee Company, one OF the
solid enterprises of the city and q good
sanitary agent IN point of the purity of
its output
The company has spent several thons-
and dollars this season in improving
their property and it is now one of the
most complete institutions OF the kind
in the country, with a daily capacity of
from ~ to 10 tons OF beautiful ice.
The water used in the manufacture of
their ice is pureclear spring water. This
in turn is distilled before being frozen
and it is absolutely impossible for any
|impurity TO remain after the water has
gone through this process. The water
is then conveyed to watts and frozen into
blocks weighing 200 pounds each. This
water does not come IL contact with
ammonia as is claimed by those who are
not acquainted with the process OF freez-
ing, but is in iron pipes under freezing
watts. There are no secrets about the
works and any one WHO is in any way
skepticai about any OF these points can
have access 10 the building at any time
and if they had never seen an ice plant
IN operation the visit could not help
but being an interesting and instructive
one.
The company commenced manufac-
turing ice March IL, and besides furn-
ishing their customers are storing the
remainder and now have several hum
bred tons in their storage house.
The demands for artificial ice is grow
ing constantly and the company will
fill several out OF town contracts. 25-tf

Ing the shore line, hut not approaching
nearer to it than hundred yards. just
before reaching North Point the current is
detected aud crosses the bay. Passing
AleatraZ Island it makes a strong eddy
between Lime Point and Yellow Bluffs.
After circling awhile it is caught in the
main channel and rushes to sea with great
rapidity. When the float is released at
hunters Point on the incoming tide 1t IS
carried Tar from the shore. When the tide
turns it is carried at once to sea.
"Between the PotIero and the foot of
Market street the current is nearly always
toward the shore.
'Th is due TO the deep curve in the
| shore. which causes the current to bend in
and form an eddy. The Sacramento River
also has some effect in turning the current
| toward the shore. The incoming tide meets
| the river walter as it sweeps past Angel
| Island ald is turned more toward the shore.
| This gives 1t an inward inclination just be-

There can be no doubt but that the flow
