the Hudson in the neighborhood of
Poughkeepsie. You couldn't induce q
New Yorker TO drink river water, but
he cheerfully uses river ice all summer
long, even though it is well known
fact that freezing does not purify water.
The scientists agree that bacteria will
survive the hardest kind of freeze. A
few germs are killed, but the most
harmful of them are not disturbed.
In making artificial ice the water is
always boiled and distilled, and most
concerns take many other precautions
besides. In a Chicago ice plant, for eX-
ample, the water is first converted into
steam. This steam passes through "a
steam purifier, which allows all the
noXious gases arising from Impurities
in the water to escape. Then it goes in
to an atmospheric condenser, where it
is changed back into water. From the
condenser the water passes to a hot fill
ter filled with stcrilized crushed
quartz. Thence it passes to the reboiler,
where il is brought to temperature Of
2l8 degrees f. Here all the remaining
traces of gas are eliminated, but before
it reaches the storage tanks it passes
through two or more filters. When it is
ready for use, it is as clear and transpar-
ent as crystal and the blocks which are
turned out are like huge gems Of first
water.
Artificial ice is apt to be much more
solid and a great deal clearer than
natural ice. You have probably seen
blocks of the former in which fruits,
fish, Holsters, etc, have been frozen.
This is accomplished simply by sus-
pending the articles in the cans, pour,
ing in the water around them and al
lowing them TO freeze in that position.
Not only are large quantities Of arti'
fetal ice now being used to supply the
retail trade, but most large breweries,
abattoirs and cold storage warehouse:
are supplied with their own ice plants
Hotels a few private residences, steam
ships and some private yachts are also
| similarly equipped. In some cases nc
ice is actually made, but the expanding
ammonia is used to reduce the temper
ature of the air to the required point

MIDSUMMER ICE CROP.
Artificial Ice Machines Supplant
Jack Frost's Work.
CHEAPER THAN NATURAL PRODUCT

BY New Process One Hundred Tons Can
Bos Turned out In Fifteen Minutes at a
Cost of Not More Than Fifty Cents a Ton.
How It Is Done.
Jack Frost is TO be driven out of the
icemaking business He cannot compete
with the machines which make artificial
ice. Nature may still defy man to make
an egg, but human inventive genius has
excelled her in other lines of industry.
Icemaking is one Of these.
The manufacture of ice is not strictly
a novelty. 1t was begun as long as 30
years ago, and within the last 10 years
it has been somewhat extensively en-
ployed. Yet it has only just now ar
rived at that stage where the artificial
methods can be employed more econom.
ioally than the natural
1t has been found that natural ice
cannot be harvested and stored in large
quantities for less than $3.50 a ton, and

but in one big one As long as IL days
are necessary to produce one Of these
mammoth blocks of ice, and then it has
to be cut by means of hot air into small
er blocks which can be handled.
BY the new process which ] have be-
fore mentioned cake o. ice can be
turned out in 10 minutes. In this the
brine watts are eliminated and the am
monia acts directly on the water to be
frozen. The device which makes this
possible consists of big hollow drum,
which revolves in "a tank of distilled
water.
In the interior Of the drum the evap-
Grating agent ammonia, or whatever
may be employed, is introduced through
small orifice under pressure. The re-
suit is that it expands rapidly, covering
the entire interior of the drum and max
ing large freezing surface. On the ex-
terror of the drum the ice forms very
rapidly, the freezing going on at the
rate Of a quarter of an inch minute.
But it is not allowed to collect, for al.
most as soon rs it forms il is scraped off
by set of knives which work back and
forth.
AS the ice scapings rise to the top Of
the vat they are scoopod up, forced out
through a convcyer and in the twin.

hydraulic pressure in a square mold In
this mold a remarkable occurrence takes
place The moment the pressure is re.

form perfectly CONCEALED mass, much
denser than natural ice, since 1t con.

thing yourself when boy. Don't you
remember what q solid ball Of ice you
could make by pressing slush together

This is the process which is going Il

ice far below that Of the natural prod

reduced from hours to minutes, but the

In the commercial process the ammo

Running all through these brine vats
are coil on coil of iron pipes. Through
these pipes liquid ammonia Is run This

Although this process Is entirely
practical aud is used every day in most

to the exposed sides of the can freeze

before the can contains solid block.

NEW ICE MACHINE WHICH MAKES A TON IN
FIFTEEN MINUTES.
that under favorable conditions BY a
newly perfected process which will soon
be tested on u large scale It is expected
that artificial ice can be made in any
quantity at cost Of not more than 80
cents u ton, or just one third of the cost
where nature is allowed to do the work
herself in her own way.
Perhaps if Jack Frost had been a lit.
tie less irregular in his habits in years
past we would have gone on allowing
him to monopolize the business. But he
has acquired reputation for being
most erratio workman. One winter he
freezes up enough ice to supply the next
summers demand two or three times
over, and the next he seems to forget
that we will be wanting ice cream, cold
drinks and cool refrigerators, fritters
away his time in getting up short lived
cold snaps which accomplish nothing
and leaves us early in the spring with
empty icehouses.
Now, we as nation cannot put up
with such unbusinesslike methods. Con-
sequently we have gone to work and
made ice on our own hook. So success
full have we been that in few years
more we can snap our fingers at Jack
Frost, careless as to whether he chooses
to work or play. He can shut up shop
altogether. if he wants to, for we can
harvest our ice in midsummer as well
as in midwinter.
The earliest of successful artificial ice
makers was u Fremchman named Carre,
who III 1857 brought out a fairly work
able machine which was operated on
what is known as the absorption prin-
ciple. 1t is practically the same princi-
pie, elaborated and perfected, which is
in use today. Experiments, it is true,
had been made at u much earlier date,
both by Americans and foreigners, but
Care was the first one to use ammonia
gas and build practicable machine.
