first attempt was a week ago Sunday
when she nearly ended her life in the
river at the marine railway of +. & |. X.
Stetson, being prevented by Capt. Henry

yard looking after the steamer Cimbria
and pulled the woman from the water
and sent her home. The woman's second
attempt was last Saturday when she
came very near being successful. This
time she selected a small brook and
crawled beneath the culvert near Hugh
O Rrien's brickyard and lay down with
her face in the water. A man who was
returning home from work saw the
woman lying in the water and went and
pulled her out. Life was nearly extinct
and it was only by lively work that she
was revived. The woman will be care

expected that she will have to be removed

The bone, so that while there is a shell
o. frozen, and, therefore, well-preserved
meat on the outside, the inner portion
near the bones is not frozen. As the
freezing process goes on this heat is
driven further inward, and this is the
cause of all the trouble. To overcome
this difficulty two New Zealand invent.
CHS have devised method of freezing
the meat from the center SO that the
heat is driven outward.
The apparatus consists of hollow
steel shaped like the scabbard of a
sword, but divided internally from the
hilt to near the point by steel parti-
ton. The brine or other freezing agent
enters this from the supply pipe
through the tube to the hilt of the in
strument, passes up one side to the
point, returns down the other, then
passes out through the second tube to
the exhaust pipe and is returned to the
refrigerator to be recooled. Sometimes
this steel is inserted in the bones them
selves, and so reaches the center of the
meat; and in other cases alongside the
bones. To withdraw the instrument
the freezing agent is cut off by triple
cock, and a warm fluid passed through
