TOLD OUT OF COURT.

1t is said that George p. VANITY of Grand
Rapids, Mich, was once trying a case be-
fore a circuit Judge in one of the southern
counties of the state, and was freely in
structing the court as to law relating TO the
; question at issue, when the Judge, becoming
annoyed that he should be thus presumed
ignorant of the law, interrupted and asked:
Does the gentleman from Grand Rapids
think he Is trying this case before some
country justice Of the peace?' Mr.. VANITY
hesitated a moment and then slowly and
meekly replied: IF the court pleases, I
would rather not be Intercepted upon that
point The question was not pressed.
A funny thing happened one time In the
United States court Of appeals in the west.
A very able lawyer was making an argu-
ment, and he, too, had been interrupted re-
p~eatedly by the court. He was thoroughly
grounded in the law, aud knew every inch
OF his case. But he was not one OF those
advocates who gather themselves quickly;
and the Interruptions disconnected him a
good deal. Presently the court leaned for
ward rather suddenly and demanded:
But VIII not this arise, then? And. II so.
what must be your position"
The lawyer paused a moment, tried to
rally q pat reply, could not, and meditatlvely
said:
II do not on the instant think Of the log
zeal situation that would arise I'm such case,
but | am sure, II your honor will bear with

the contingency you suggest, and further
along In my argument ] will, | believe, sat
isfy the court perfectly on the point"
II don't think, on the Instant, myself"
said the judge, mellowiLg somewhat, Just
what the result would be. But | thought IL
you had 1t at your tongues end 1t would
make it easier for me-"
And they smiled at each other, UNDER
stood each other, and went on with the case.
One time a whisky trust" case was on
trial in the United States circuit court at
Chicago, and Moses Solomon was making
an argument Of great length and brilliancy.
lie had talked several hours, relates the
Chicago Post, and seemed likely TO consume
the day, for he was heart and soul In the
case-and the fee was respectable, too. But.
when he had held the whisky trust up to
general malediction, apd had delivered a
broadside arraignment that should have
caused the whole institution TO Instantly
cease operations, Judge Woods interrupted
give no more time ia counsel than the then
for the following day. And Mr.. Solomon.
with all his usual tact. said:
May 1t please tho court, j know the court
Is thoroughly Informed on every detail OF
this gigantic institution, and that the court
knows the whole subject OF the whisky trust
and Its product and effects In all Its ramihca-
lions; and, knowing this, any further argu-
ment ON my part will be unnecessary"
And he ceased. Judge Woods said q week
afterward he wondered II Mr.. Salumon
meant 10 convey that the court was ac-
quainted with the effects OF the whisky or
tina effects OF the trust.

IL, 600 tons of ice daily, and less than 500
tons OF this is made by machinery.
But the new system carries with 1t more
than a promise of cheap ice; 1t promises
pure ice as well. There is a prevalent no.
tion that water in freezing purifes itself
OF all kinds of contamination. This Is true
only to a very limited, extent. The larger
particles contained in water will, In con-
gealation, tend to be expelled, just as. for
example, is the air from the airholes, which
are almost always TO be seen In a pond or
river. But a great deal OF careful expert
ment has sho wn that though a large proper
tion Of the invisible bacteria the water con-
tains may be destroyed, still large numbers
may remain alive, since many species are
quite invulnerable to the action OF cold.
Notably is this the case with the germs
which cause typhoid fever. which may re-
main alive for months, even though fast
frozen in a solid block of ice. AS the neigh
borhood OF the ice fields becomes more
thickly settled and the demand for Ice also
increases. the danger is proportionally ad-
vanced.
PRODUCT PRACTICALLY PURE.
But artificial ice may be made practically
pure. Usually II is first filtered, then con-

brine surrounding this system of pipes down
to is degrees or IS degrees Fahrenheit, or
about 10 degrees below freezing point. This
rapidly draws the heat from the water con-
tanned in the can. The heat passes first to
the circulating brine and then to the coil,
with the result that the water slowly con-
geals. As soon as the can is frozen 1t is
picked UP by a crane, given a quick bath in
hot water, which melts the ice sufficiently
to release the can, and the ice Is then ready
for storage.
This system has been carried to great per-
fection by the introduction of machinery for
recondensing the expanded ammonia, so that
1t Is used over and over again. The chief
difficulty with the process, however, Is Its
slowness. From City to sixty hours are re-
CURED to freeze a can of the dimensions
named. The outside Of the can freezes
quickly enough, but in order for the interior
to become CONCEALED the heat 1t coItaqns
must pass through the envelop'ng layer OF
ice, and ice, 1t happens, is one OF the siowest
heat conductors known. The result Is, curl
ously enough, that to freeze the last inch on
the inside of the cake requires a compare
lively long while. The absorption system, so
called, is even less economical than this.
Here liquid ammonia Is employed instead Of
anhydrous, and this is boiled. The resulting
ammonia gas is condensed and this, after
being run through the expansion coils in the
freezing tanks, is led into the "absorber.'
The latter Is really a condenser, not much
inherent from IudI uStu III III Ollp sio
system, save that the condensing Is not eff
fected by mechanical means. OF the two sys-
tens, the compression process is in more
general use. There are thousands OF these
machines over the country, making In the ag-
gregato a large quantity of ice. But except
In the south they cannot compete, save under
exceptional conditions, with natural Ice.
THE NEW FREEZER.
The new machine devised by the original
inventor of the comnression system. though
sinnIa enough 10 extremely ingenious. 1t
consists essentially. of a device for freezing
ice ON the surface of a big hollow drum re-
yolying in a bath of pure distilled water.
In the interior of this hollow drum the
eyaporatinE agent, ammonia, or whatever
NAV be employed, Is introduced through a
small orifce under pressure, with the result
that II expands rapidly, The revolution OF
the drum keeps Its entire interior surface wet
with the liquid ammonia, thus keeping up
a constant freezing surface. p
On the exterior surface OF the drum Ice
forms very rapidly, just as 1t does, for
example, near the exterior of the tin cans In
use at the present time, the freezing going
on at the rate OF about a quarter OF an inch
a minute. But the new machine does not
allow the lee TO gain any such thickness as
this, indeed, not more than a thlrty-second
OF an inch. II Is then cut on by knives that
act as scrapers' and work BACK ana iorth
along the surface OF the drum, SO that a

EARLY ATTEMPTS.

sion process.
EARLY ATTEMPTS.
The earliest of successful artificial ice
makers was a Frenchman named Care, who,
in 1857, brought out a fairly workable ma
chine. built on what Is known as the alb
sorption system. The principle here, and
for that matter in the compression system
as well. might be likened to the emptying
of a pan of water or bailing a boat with a
sponge; the dry sponge takes up as much
water as 1t will hold, and is then squeezed
out, this process being repeated indefinitely.
In very much the same way, 1t happens
with a liquid in evaporating, and further
in a gas expanding rapidly that a great deal
Of heat is used up, and this heat Is drawn
from the nearest available source. This is
only saying in a reverse way that water will
be converted into gas (steam) II 1t Is suffi-
GENTLY heated, and that a gas, IL heated,
will rapidly. @
II some liquid be taken which evaporates
very rapidly in the air, like ether or al
cohol, and a little be poured out on the
hand, it's cooling effect will be Immediately
felt. In the same way, IL a bottle contain
ing water is kept wet with ether on the
outside. the evaporation will chill the water
and eventually freeze 1t. Indeed the carafes
faappes OF the French restaurants are pro-
duced in just this way. The decanters,
filled with fresh water, are set In shallow
tanks containing brine, which remains liquid
at below the temperature at which water
freezes. In contact with these tanks are
receivers which are kept charged with ether
vapor. The evaporating vapor chills the
brine, and this in turn takes heat from
the water in the decanters and soon freezes
1t.
Ice making on a large scale as it is now
carried on is little more than an am
pliacation of this process. Either ammonia
or sulphurous oxide is used instead of ether,
because these substances are cheaper and
not infammable. The best substance of all
is a distillation OF petroleum called chrymo-
| gene-its name means cold generator"
But as 1t is frowned on by the insurance
agents, 1t is but little used.
For the most part anhydrous ammonia
is employed. That Is simply our ordinary
ammonia, more properly ammonia water,
with the water taken out OF 1t. This sub
stance Is first ~liqueied by being compressed
and cooled, whereby the latent heat of the
gas Is pressed out and carried away. Stored

months, and could be kept for years, with
out spelling. On board ocean steamers re-
frigerating machines are employed, both for
the cold storage of dressed meats and other
provisions, and also to prevent live cattle,
transported through tropical regions, from
dying of the heat in their confined quarters.
Individual ~ice-making plants are also coming
into general use, and the new hotels and
other large establishments lmost always
make their own ice. The largest refrigerat-
ing machine yet built has a capacity of 500
tons of solid ice per day, but there seems no
reason why, with the introduction of the new
quick-process machine, this capacity should
not be immensely increased.

than 81 a ton. And throughout the south
1t is probable the figure will be only a little
higher, say GO or 70 cents per ton for the
first cost.
II these figures are realized, nature will
be driven from the commercial ice business,
and the inventive genius OF man will have
scored another Improvement over his
clumsy and Anticipated ancestor.
One OF the new machines is to be seen In
one OF the large dressed beef establishments
OF New York City. The new process is re-
markedly simple and is really little more
than a modification OF the systems now In
use. The romance of II lies In the fact that
its Inventor, Mr.. D. Livingston Holden. now
a man advanced in years. was the FIRST TO
set up an ice-making machine in this eoun-
try, and rs likewise accredited farther OF the

THE CAN PROCESS.
In what is known as the can process. tina
is, where the Ice Is made in tin cans. a fac
tory is set up containing huge shallow watts
often 100 feet square and usually four ol
FIVE deep. Dividing these watts up into small
compartments are row after row OF coileC
iron pipe, The entire vat is then flooded
with brine and Into this bath are thrust tir
cans containing Distilled water. The cans, al
a rule, are about eleven inches thick. twenty
two inches long and about four feet deep
and when frozen. this makes a cake of Ice
weighing somewhat over 500 pounds.
Through the coils OF iron pipe the liquid
ammonia Is run, passing through a small orr

the most remarkable thing was that he had
