THE HOTEL TRAGEDY,
BY A WOMAN.

! had scarcely been settled in my
new home than 1 began to take a
most lively interest in the hotel op-
pOsite. Having lived where my views
Ut life had been limited by back
street and stable, the sudden
plunge into an existence absolutely
teemiDg with every phase of human
emotion, So to speak. my new home
being on one OF the city's busiest
throughfares, felt ana acted like
a person who had been shut up Ia
prison for years ard suddenly lib.
Grated into the great glowing swathe
Of Gods sunshine.
To sit by my window and watch
the world as it went by iD cars, car
riages, or 'busses, on foot, or bicycle,
was to me constant delight, there
fore it is not to be wondered at that
the lace -draped windows Of the hotel
across the way soon began to engross
my attention, appearing as they did
like the frames OF living pictures
Many scene gazed upon from my

REFRIGERATED CARGO.
The First One of the Kind Ever Carried
from Australia to England.


from Australia to England.
The steamship Perthshire, which
recently arrived in London, has
brought f.om Australia and New
Zealand the largest cargo ST refrig.
Grated goods ever imported. The
cargo consists OF 10, 900 carcasses OF
sheep 5000 launches 5000 legs,
about $50 tons of frozen beef, $50
cases Of butter. $50 bags OF builocks'
hearts, $50 bags OF oxtails, and kid.
neys, and seven cases OF oysters The
holds have sufficient capacity to have
accommodated ~, 600 more carcases OF
sheep. The shipment is an inter.
esting one, says the London Engineer;
as it Is the first time that meat has
been brought to this country from
Australia or New Zealand by means
or an amonia machine, and the ex-
cellent quality OF the goods, as GER
titled by the consignecs, is sufIicent
evidence OF the success OF the Lynde
machines by which the holds were
cooled. Until recently only cold air
machines were tsed III this trade.
The ammonia machines occupy far
less space and apply the cold In a
much more efficient manner, besides
greatly reducing the consumption OF
steam.
The plant on the Perthshire con-
sists OF two independent refrigcrat-
ing machines, each machine consists
Of compound ammonia compressor
and an ammonia condenser combined
on one bedplate with ompound
steam engine. The refrigerators con-
sist Of series of coils OF wrought
iron tube wound in long lengths
without joint from enl to end.
There are upward OF eight miles of
wrought iron tubing In the installa-
ton. The air is circulated by means
OF fans, which draw the warmer air
from the hold. pass it over the re-
frlgerator coils, and return 1t to the
hold through suitable trunks 1t Is
claimed tor this system that the air
Is delivered into the holds pure, dry.
and free from snow or mOister.
There are no pipes in the hold what
ever. The active circulation OF air
thus insured enables the temperature
to be kept extremely even; the yaria.
tion between different parts OF the
hold does not exceed about degrees

he undertook to scare the panther
away by pointing the umbrella al

Instead OF running away however.

knocking him down and stood over
him

had taken to his heels, and the
