noticed that we have reached a point
where we have but two seasons In the
year, winter and summer? That is a fact
ana there are scientific reasons for the
same. The beautiful spring, ethereal

rot or which the poet sang fail TO come IN
these, the latter years Of the century.
Spring no longer fingers In the lap OF
winter. Summer arrives about the first

his snOWdrifts and billiards he gets hfs

Il have. simply adapted some well

OF my own. The cold producing qualities
OF anhydrqs-ammonia are well known and

Suppose a drunken man turned on the
cold and went to sleep. Would he freeze

Il have so perfected the regulator that
the ammonia circuit automatically closes
when the temperature of the body reaches
60 degrees. Is there anything else you
would like to suppose?'
