The superiority Of Refrigeration OBJ
tained by mechanical processes, rs COM
pared with that obtained by melting ice
appears in the facts that by it more in
tense cold may be secured; that any de-
sired degree Of cold may be maintained
with perfect uniformity; that n drier
atmosphere Is secured in the refrigerat-
ing box or room; that the Inconvenience
Of frequently replenishing the ice bun

can be employed for many purposes and
places where ice cannot be used &C all
Added TO all this is the fact. Of para
mount Importance, that whore much
refrigeration is required the cost OF a
machine and its operation is far less
than the cot Of ice sufficient TO do an
equal amount of work
in practice that every brewery, packing
house, cold storage warehouse or other
establishment requiring a large amount
Of refrigeration contains its individual
refrigerating plant Where consumption
amounts to ten tons OF more of ice daily
the question Of economy will be almost
invariably decided in favor Of the ma
chine. If less than ten tons be required,
the cost Of a machine and its operation
may exceed the cost of ice sufficient to
do a similE- amount Of work. In many
cases the superior quality Of the refrig-
Grafton obtained, its cleanliness. relia-
bility and convenience OF the require
ment of more intense cold than ice will
produce secures the adoption Of the ma
chine. Therefore small machines are
frequently found on shipboard. in no.
tells and apartment houses and in many
manufactures. but most of the ice gath
cred from rivers and lakes or made in
factories is not consumed by the few
who require large quantities. but by the
many, who severally require less than
ten tons a day.
The effort to bring this superior TO
frigeration within the reach of small
consumers has taken two directions
the production of small and inexpensive
automatic machines and a system of
supply Of the refrigerant from central
stations The first has failed hitherto.
