Visit to SAN Quentin Prison.

VISIT to san Quentin Prison.
Rev. Hugh Lamont, uncle of Blanche
Lamont, for whose brutal murder Theo-
dore Durrant has been sentenced to
death. has visited Durrant at San
Quentin prison. Speaking of his visit
Rev. Lamont said: Judging from the
evidence, / believe Durrant guilty, but
his demeanor is that of an innocent
man. had no intention of making
public what occurred between us, but
in justice to that unhappy boy have
changed my mind. i visited Durrant
at San Quentin and corversed with him
in Cant Edgar's Office. We greeted each
other and Durrant held out his hand
to me, saying: Il suppose this is Mr..
Lamont. You are attending, l pre-
sumo, the Christian Endeavor conven-
ton. greatly regret my inability to
avail myself of the same privilege
During the conversation Rev. La
mont said: ST believe in your guilt,
but if you are an innocent man the evil
dence win be soon forthcoming"
Durrant replied that he was an in
nocent man, and hoped that his in
nocence would be proved before his
death, but at any rate after the ex-
ecution. Durrant refused to discuss the
question as to the probable murderer,
and after little conversation the in
terview ended.

WOMAN's BRIGHT IDEA.
Wanted Mortgage Copyrighted, So
that She Would BE Safe.
J acksonVille Citizen.


AS the reporter stepped into a well-
known lawyers office yesterday afternoon
he met a lady coming out and spoke 10 her.
He really wished to talk to her a moment
on some literary work in which she was
interested, being a writer of some note; but
there was a disturbed and uncomfortable
look in her eyes and about the corners of
her mouth which decided him to wait until
a more suspicious occasion. So he merely
bowed and passed on into the Office, where
he met the lawyer, who also showed signs
of perturbation.
BY Jovew exclaimed the attorney, with
sincere emphasis, IF there is anything
more than any other thing that will pro-
woke q man in eighteen places at once 1t
is TO have some woman or other tell him
what his business is when he knows more
about it in q minute than forty women
know in a thousand years; and that woman
who just went out of here is one OF them.
OF course this wild foaming of speech
rather excited the reporters curiosity, and
he asked for few more scattering particu-
lars which he might put together at his
leisure.
''WeIl, she's a literary woman. as you
know" said the lawyer, and far as
literature goes she's all right and haven't
a word to say. But what does she know
about the law
The reporter shook his head. because IL
the attorney didn't know, he (the reporter)

pipes eXhale such a frosty air, making the

to which a windlass is attached, the can
containing the ice is lifted from the salt

That is the whole proceeding"
There is another thing in connection with
ice. of which but few people are aware, yet
which is of value for large ice consumers to
know. Supposing a piece of one hundred
pounds of ice is deposited at your door and
there allowed to lie until it weighs ninety
pounds 1t is erroneous to suppose that you
have only lost ten pounds, because If the
weather is warm enough latent heat has
been absorbed to make the ice melt so
much more rapidly that you may we'll con-
slider your loss fifty, or, at least, forty
pounds.
1t is perhaps just as little known that
pipes containing that form of ammonia
known as refrigerating fluid can be carried
a distance of two miles into houses, where
they would control the same refrigerating
process in the same manner as they do at
close range.

Philadelphia Times.
THE water we use is first condensed into
steam, which is allowed to cool by letting
cold water continually drip the hot
pipes, and thus turn It into water again
Then this same water is triple distilled and
filtered, first with charcoal, and later-for
very fear that the least bit of outside mat
ter may have gone through after all this
into the freezing cans, goes again through
a sponge filter contained in a Theoretically
sealed galvanized machine. Our ice is as
clear as a crystal and I'll now turn you
over to the superintendent, who will take
you around and show you everything"
We use" began the latter gentleman,
after the tour had been begun, partly city
water and partly water from our own
premises. The engine heats six big boilers
for the condensing process and the expan-
ing process in the vast tank.
These two vats are one and one-half
height, and are filled with anhydrous am
monia. On either side of each of them you
behold two small round extensions on top
and two below. One Of these discharges
the ammonia into the watts and the other
sucks ii out into the pipes that lead into
the freezing or tank room.
Now follow me, and behold" continued
this obliging cicerone, leading the way into
a loft some 100 feet long by las wide. Here
is a small pipe coming from the watts and
containing the ammonia warmed through
the condensers; but right below here this
pipe enters this heavier cross pipe by means
of the little stout iron box, by which 1t is
surm0unted.
This little vacuum-like apparatus sud
denly changes the whole aspect and trans
forms the warm ammonia into an ice cold
fluid for that white crust which you see
surrounding all the pipes in this room is
genuine snow!''
The superintendent laughingly confessed
himself vanquished by this box, the mys-
FERROUS workings OF which ne greatly
lauded.
'The flooring of this loft" he took up the
thread OF his narrative, consists solely of
thick wooden covers, one foot by three
feet" He took up an iron lever, inserted IL
in a hook in the center OF one of the covers
and lifted it. Underneath galvanized iron
can becaf me visible, of the same facial d.
mansions and five feet high.
THESE cans are filled with water after 1t
has been condensed. distilled and filtered.
They are then placed where you see this
one or in other words in a tank filled with
water which is kept from freezing by a
luton of brine which is added TO or re-
newed only once in FIVE months.
And now as TO the real end in view: l

amount of entertainment in their ordinary
lives as we'll as when they appear upon
the stage. 1t is true that there is one En-
gltsh actor who moves in the best social
circles when he is in this town. But this
man has allowed it be known that he dis
tnguishes between his private and his pub
lie capacities. The title of knighthood
which was conferred upon him he does not
use as an actor. And yet this man has
been most persistent in asserting that his
profession should be accepted as an art
and its practitioners as artists. The gen.
eral prejudice against the actor as a mem
Der of a trade which is still under a. ban
is very well expressed by M. Jules Lamaitre
as follows People are quite willing that
the actors talent should be recognized, not
his calling. The antipathy to which actors
are still largely the victims is of Roman,
feudal and Christian origin and may be
summed up as follows: For a man pub
hcly to exhibit himself for the
amusement of his fellows, to express ideas
and passions which are not his own, to pre-
tend for gain to be that which he is not,
is to be wanting in self-respect, is to vio-
late in himself the dignity of the citizen,
the freeman and the Christian; and no
state mark of distinction should be
extended to the members of profession or
calling that has such a state of things for
a foundation. Such is the opinion of many,
among whom 1, however, must not be
counted" Among ourselves it will be found
that exactly the same prejudice exists.
When the actor or actress is honored it is
as an individual, and not as an expert at an
interesting trade.
