ICE AND GAS.
A Combination Plant to Produce tho
Two Articles.

n u W ahc
Two Articles.
A very novel combination of inter-
ests is now being cOnsummated in
some of the Western cities in the
Union of plants built for the produc-
ton Of light with plants for the manu-
facture of ice. the same companies in
tending to operate the two plants as
a joint enterprise. The idea has also
taken root nearer home, and the plans
for a gas and ice plant in a nearby
city are already In an advanced state
of preparation. This new development
of the artificial ice business has been
brought about largely by the improve
ments made in the process of its man
ufacture. which have not only mater
rally improved the quality of the
product, but reduced it's cost to a point
which seems to assure a very large
profit and even at a price much below
that possible to those who get their
supply from natures stock. Without
entering into an elaborate description
of the new plant for producing artif-
cial ice, it may be said briefly that, in
stead of manufacturing it in a block,
which is frozen from each of four
sides toward the center, the ice is
made by freezing to Il long steel plate,
from which it is detached after it is
sufficiently thick. and is then cut into
cakes of The right shape for convent
ent storage. 1t is claimed that the
plate process bles the product to
be made entirely free from impurity of
any sort. the freezing from the plate
outward tending to eXpel all the i'm
purities. which. by the can process
of freezing from the four sides of the
cake. are lodged in the center of the
block. The ''plate" process obviates,
also. all the necessity for raising the
temperature of the water before 1t is
frozen. and the best results so far
gained by the plate process Indicate
a product of ten and tive-eighths tons
of ice from a single ton Of coal where
artificial heat is demanded in supply
ing power for the manufacture. In
the "can" process the results are said
to have never exceeded eve tons of
ice to a ton of coal. and the average
product has been much less than this
production. The 'plate" process ne
cesSitates a heavier Investment in the
original plant. but gives a higher per
centage of return upon it's cost wher

Statues of Monroe are likely to be

in that presidents native country. One
is going up at Rio Janeiro and another

express the American idea that gov

THE FIRST SONG SPARROW.
Sunshine set to music!

Sunshine set to music!
Hear the sparrows sing!
In his note is freshness
OF the newborn spring,
In his thrill delicious
Summer overfows;
Wilderness of the lily.
Sweetness of the rose.
Splendor of the sunshine,
Fragrance of the breeze,
Crystal Of the broOklet,
Trickling under trees,
Over moss and pebbles;
Hank! you have them all,
Phrophesied and chanted,
In the sparrow's call.
Pilgrim of the tree-tops,
Burdened with a song.
That he drops among us
AS he flies along:
Promises and bic ssings
Scattering at our feet,
Till we sing together;
ooh, but life is sweet"
Listen! the song-sparrow!
Spirit? or u bird?
Simple Joy Of singing
In his song is heard.
Somewhere, far in glory,
Love our life has kissed:
He resounds the rapture,
Heavenly optimist!
Resurrection singer!
Gladness of the year.
In thine Easter carol.
Bringing heaven so near
That we scarcely know 1t
From the earth apart;
Sing immortal summer
To the wintry heart!
Watt us down faiths message
From behind the sky,
Till our aspirations
With thee sing and fly!
"GOd is good forever!
Nothing shall go wrong!"
Sunshine set to music;
IT'S the sparrow's song.
