ONE NEW WRINKLE
Ice Served In Pretty and Handy
Half-Ource Cubes.
a Loodon Invention Which IL Destined 70
Become Popular IN This Country
Lumps OF An Sizes Frozen
to Order.

An ingenious apparatus for the man.
ufacture of Cube ice" is an invention
recently exhibited in London. The
machine. the Lancet says, is a simple
one, in which blocks OF pure artificial
ice are placed. emerging in the same
but stronger shape and possessing
some peculiar characteristics. When
tapped with an ice chisel, or even q
penknife, they break up into cubes of
convenient size, instead of SCATTERING
into irregular and ill-assorted Jumps.
The invention is of hygienic impor-
lance, too, for the machine also stamps
plainly on each of the symmetrical
cubes the trademark of the maker.
Thus the consumer is protected by this
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS." device, the
stamp being a guarantee of the purity
of the article and its origin. The in
vention has also the virtue Of economy,
as there is no waste from broken ice
and the cubes are symmetrical aud at
tractive.
The Lancet thus explains the inven-
ton: SIN the course of some expert
ments Mr.. Van der Weyde observed
that ice at a temperature below freez-
ing point, when newly cut and left in
contact, adhered SO strongly that il
would not break in the same place,
whereas, when exposed to . warmer
temperature it would split at the
originally cut places with great ease;
and so, with this extended knowledge
of the interesting phenomenon of
regulation, first brought TO light by
Faradav and afterwards studied by
Tyndell, Mr.. Van der Weyde devcl-
oped his invention as the outcome of
its practical application. The phenom-
enop of regulation is the result of the
action of capillary force at the boun-
daries of the film of water which con.
meets the pieces placed in contact,
producing an effect equivalent to at
traction between them, just as two
plates of clean glass with q film of
water between them seem TO adhere.
"Ice being wet by water, the boun-
Diary of the connecting film is concave,
and this concavity implies a diminu-
ton of pressure in the interior. This
film accordingly exerts upon the ice
pressure less than atmosphere. and as
the remote sides Of the blocks are ex-
posed TO atmospheric pressure there is
a resultant force urging them together
and producing stress at the small sur
face of contact. Melting of the ice,
therefore, occurs at the places Of con-
tact, and the cold thus evolved freezes
the adjacent portions of the water film.
which, being at less than atmospheric
pressure. will begin to freeze at tenn
perature little above the normal
freezing point.
"It is necessary" says the Lancet.
ito allow the block TO warm for
short time. so that the cement of ice
loses its previously tenacious hold upon
the small cubes into which the block is
divided.
"Then, after this warming-up proc
ess, the cubes are as easily separated
as postage stamps from a perforated
sheet A sixteen-pound block of ice,
for instance, can easily be divided into
612 half-ounce cubes, or a thirtytwo-
pound block into SIP one-ounce cubes"

A History OF Sugar.

Sugar, when first introduced into
every country on the globe, was used
only incidentally. Pliny, the natural

room for doubt on that point Even
in Arabia, according to Avicenna $3.50
A. D., sugar was one of the articles Of
commerce, but there is no record Of il
being used for dietetic purposes until
nearly two hundred years afterwards.
At that time it was only used By ply
