A NEW WRINKLE IN ICE.

In connection with the fact that In
dianapois is TO have new and gigantic
ice mandatory it is interesting to note
that Londoners now have their ice fro
zen into small cubes which break into
regular shapes when tapped by a pen
knife or chisel. instead Of flying all over
everything in jagged pieces. The inven-
ton for the manufacture of cube ice
was recently exhibited in London and
described by the Lancet, which says:
In the course of some experiments Mr..
Van der Weyde observed that ice at 4
temperature below freezing point, when
newly cut and left in contact, adhered
50 strongly that il would not break IN
the same place, whereas when exposed
to a warmer temperature il would split
at the originally cut places with great
ease; and SO, with this extended knowl-
edge of the interesting phenomenon OF
regulation, first brought TO light by Far
aday and afterward studied by Tyndall.
Mr.. Van der Weyde developed his inven-
ton as tie outcome of Its practical APP
plication. The phenomenon of regulation
is the result of the action of capillary
force at the boundaries of the iilm Of
water which connects the pieces placed
in contact producing an effect equiva-
two plates of clean glass with a finn Of
water between them seem to adhere.
Ice being wet by water, the boundary
of the connecting film is concaVe, and
this concavity implies a diminution OF
pressure in the interior The film accord
ingly exerts upon the ice pressure less
than atmosphere. and as The remote
sides of the blocks are exposed TO at
mOspheric pressure there is a resultant
force urging them together and produc-
ing stress at the small surface Of con-
tact Melting of the ice, therefore. &C
ours at the places of contact and the
cold thus evolved freezes the adjacent
portions of the water elm, which, being
at less than atmospheric pressure, will
begin to freeze at a temperature little
above the normal freezing point
1t is necessary 10 allow the
block to warm for short
time, so that the Cement uf ice iCses
it's previously tenacious hold upon the
small cubes into which the block is di-
vided
Then. after this warining-up process,
the cubes are as easily separated as post
age stamps from a perforated sheet a
sixteen-pound block of ice, for instance,
can easily be divided into 5l2 half ounce
cubes, or a thirty-two-pound block into
512 one-ounce cubes.
The advantages of cube ice are many.
The trade mark of the manufactures is
plainly stamped I'm each cube. which is
a guarantee OF the purity Of the ice.
The tiny blocks are much more crna-
mental than the rough blocks and there
is no waste. Lumps may be frozen of
any size to order. and the man with the
"swelled head" may enjoy a cube as
large as he wishes.

NEW YORK AND INDIANA.

As the Journal says, this result is high

to mind the marked contrast between the
way in which they handle these matters
in New York and Indiana.

the way, are all democrats, set about
bringing the guilty people to justice. As

were democrats and their punishment was
secured by democrats.
Now, let us reflect a little bit on the
way things were done in Indiana in the
fall of 1888 and the early spring of 1889.
At that time 14O people were indicted for
fraudulent and corrupt practices at the
polls. These indictments were found in
the federal court by a grand jury COM
posed equally Of republicans and demo-
Gratis. Nearly all the persons indicted
were republicans, for the state had been

And bow to His stern will;
Swift as an arrow. strong and sure.
Deaths angel sped the final cart.

To his great spirit home apart.

And loved hearts throb in bitter pain;

The kindly word, the generous heart,

Yet God will dry the bitter tear
And calm the troubled sleep:
All earth life yieldeth unto death.
Nor ours to choose the time or place.

United states. 70 o. isff9
From this it appears that France
caught up with EngIand's century start

States, and this. although in those TWEEN
~ years. the United States had what the
Journal usually calls free trade. And
notice also that i'm forty-eight years Of
free trade Great Britain has more than
doubled her production. And notice also
that the United States manufactures
more than Great Britain and France or
Great Britain and Germany taken to-
gether. This will prepare YOU for the
Journals statement that there is very
little difference in the quality of the ma
chinery here and in England And yet,
only a few days ago in our prize contest
for republican editors. the Elwood Leader
published letters from several manufact-
uring firms who sell their American made
machinery in England as we'll as the rest
of the world, that their competition was
successful on account of the superior
quality of their goods" And again the
Journal quotes with approval:
Through the improved methods of pro
duction the productive capacity Of ten
laborers I'm England is equal TO twenty
i'm France. twenty-siX i'm Germany, TWEEN
ty-seven in Austria. foTty-three in Spain
and sixty-one in Italy.
And it also talks about the superiority
in productive energy of English over
continental workmen. This is largely
true and accounts for the higher wages
paid in England. Now take in connec-
ton with it this statement of the Hon.
James G. Blaine:
The hours of labor in the Lancashire
mills are fifty-si,l. in the Massachusetts
mills sixty per week. The hours of labor
in the mills in the other New England
states where the wages are generally
less than in Massachusetts, are usually
sixty-six to siXty-nine per week. Tn
doubtedly the inequalities in the wages
of English and American operatives are
more than equalized by the greater ef-
ficiency of the latter ard their longer
hours of labor.
Mr. Blaine had discovered that wages
in the United States were higher than
those in England for the same reason
that the Journal now finds English prices
to be higher than continental prices.
Now let the Journal make one more eff
fort and see if it cannot catch up with
Mr. Blaine.
