New Zee Machine .1Aat WIN Reduce
the Cost 81 Ice.
i The promises with which a new ice
machine has been launched on the.
market seem most too good to be true.
The 6rst cost Of the machine ID COM
paratively small, and It Is guaranteed
to supply an average family with ice
for q whole year for the extremely
modest sum Of $40. It IL hardly sur
,prising, in view Of the ordinary size Of
Ice bills at this season Of the year, that
many Of the people who have to pay
them are somewhat skeptical as to the
Claims Of the new machine; hut the
operation Of the new appliance itself,
az described, is feasible enough. Down
the center Of box Of the size and
shape Of an ordinary ice box runs a
cylinder tor the reception Of the water
that 10 to be turned into ice, and
around the cylinder are cells in which
freezing chemicals are placed. On the
top OF the box Is a handle. like that Of
q street piano, which !s attached to the
shaft on which are fixed fan blades.
In order to make the ice supply Of the
home for the day, 1t is only necessary
to fill the cylinder with water and turn
the crank for fifteen minutes. The fan
acts ON the Chemicals, the chemicals
act ON the water, and at the end Of the
prescribed time the cylinder Is taken
out, and out Of It slips block Of glist-
ening ice. The nature Of the chemicals
lis the secret Of the inventor, who will
only say that they have heretofore
served NO useful purpose. ma none
could be found for them, although they
were known to chemists. The materi-
ais, however, have been fully protected
BY patents. This novel freezer con-
tains compartments for the storage Of
such household supplies as are usually
kept IN the ice box. In addition to be-
ing near the ice, the provisions will be
kept cool by the currents of air that
freeze the water. The chemicals.
which will last for one year, are to be
supplied only by q company which un-
'dertakes to keep the freezers in good
condition.

The Exactins Jan.

A great deal Of dissatisfaction has
been caused to manufacturers who
have exported their goods to Japan,
by parts, and in some cases the whole
Of the consignment being thrown on
their hands. The explanation is that
the Jap's standard of excellence. is
very high, and he declines to take any.
thing that does not come up to It.
Other nations are ready to accept
their purchases SO long as they are
practically equal to their operative re-
quirements, but the japanese insist ON
minuteness Of construction and
finish which may almost be regarded
as "fnicky." They are said to be
most exact In their tests Of goods
made under contract, expecting even
large pieces Of machinery to be ma
dramatically true in every particular.

tons Of galvanized iron telegraph wire,

vacuum Tube L,.htinx.

Electricians are not the only per
sons who have varying opinions as to
the merits Of vacuum tube lighting. A
society lady, who is renowned for the
artistic light grading of her reception
rooms, says it is much too compromis-
ing to the complexion to become popu-
lar, or even to he thought Of for social
functions. She considers the glare of
the electric lights now used as an or.
deal at times altogether too serious:
but she holds that ''this new white
light will be worse than daylight" In
our own homes we can use lamps and
keep soft shades on them, so that the
little wrinkles and the mean places in
ones skin are softened and toned
down. But nothing will ever get away
from the garish new light. and YOU
might as well receive a caller out in
the yard at midday as in q room light
ed by it. 1t shall certainly never come
into my house." 1t is hardly strange
that such a misconception as this
should have arisen; but the fact is that
the vacuum tube light will be Just as
amenable to control and modification
as the incandescent, with the added
advantage that it's diffusion and its
artistic possibilities will Ike much
greater.

The Gernaa Field for An,cricnu
Apples.
The United States consul at Chem.
nitz says that American apple growers
have waiting for them a field for the
marketing Of their fruit, the possible.
ties Of which they can form no idea.
The German physicians have instilled
into the minds Of their patients the
maxim that apples are about the most
healthful article Of diet they can mar
take of, especially in hot weather. and
the people, well convinced Of the fact.
buy the fruit eagerly. But their best
apples are by no means as good as the
worst of the American product. and
there is no reason whatever why the
growers here should not send over
millions Of dollars worth Of fruit
where they now send only thousands.
For instance, there are no German ap-
pies to compare with our Rhode Island
greetings, the Baldwin, russell and
northern spy, and after a little expert
mentation many other good varieties
would doubtless be found well suited
to bear transportation. Boston, Balti-

As a remedy for bloat caused by

Arizona considers puncturing the
paunch from the center Of the hollow

remedy. Prof. Gulley says a wet
blanket on the cows back is the best
remedy for bloat. A successful stock
man says bloat can be cured by pull
ing the animals tongue out MS far as
possible, or by placing stick as large
as a wrist cross-wise in the mouth,
or by making it stand fifteen to thirty
minutes with front feet up hill or on
a box, considerably higher than the

OF course deceit is an abomination,
and yet it has its uses. It's very like
poison-something to lie stunned in
everyday life, but extremely valuable
at certain crises. They are mainly
social crises When good temper can
be preserved and harsh feeling escaped
by little deceit then it should be used
or. at least, SO says the social philos-
opher
The greatest joy one can give ones
