MAKING ARTIFICIAL ICE.
How the Plants Arc CONTRACTED and OPP
Grated In Philaaaiphia-


How the Plants Arc Constructed and OPP
Grated In Phlaaaiphia-
Artificial cold or ico may be most
readily produced by the evaporation OF
a more or less volatile liquid. In the
first machines constructed this hqula
was water. One-tenth of the amoun or
water used was converted into ice, but
as it was necessary to maintain a vac
uum in the apparatus its perfect work-
ing was q difficult problem. q moro
readily volatile liquid, therefore, had
TO be substituted. such as liQCe9ed sal
phurous acid and liquefied ammonia.
Being gaseous st ordinary temperatures,
they are very cuitable Substances for
this purpose. Tho ammonia ice machine
is the enc in most general use-in fact,
it finds exclusive application in this
city. This liqueied ammonia is allowed
to expand in coils of pipes which are
placed in tanks filed with brine. The
Temperature of the brine is thus reduced
to c point below the freezing point OF
water-that is, to 1913 degrees +.
In this refrigerated brine are placed
galvanized iron tanks having the shape
of the large cakes of ice which n is
accustomed to see in the wagons that
pass through our city streets. After c
period of $3.50 hours this can OF water
is converted into solid ice. The can Is
hoisted out of the brine, warmed with
hot water, which allows the cake to
slip out upon a shoot that runs n the
storage rooms. The gaseous ammonia
in the pipes can be used yer and over
again. a large compression engine being
q part Of the plant, which reduces the
expense Of the process. From this de.
scription it should be plain that there
can bo no faint Of ammonia to give c
taste to the ice.
The plants usually employ distilled
or artesian water, SO that the ice is Of
the best quality. Whatever impurities
the water contains are collected III the
white streak found in the center Of each
cake. The pure water separates from
the impure and freezes first. Even ten
years ago tho demand for ice was sup
| piled from natural sources. the har-
vests from our own Pennsylvania riv-
ers, which were stored every winter i'll
great houses on the shores c. the streams,
being supplemented By shipments
throughout the summer from Maine.

A Pertinent Question.

Old Aunt Dinah was a colored wom-
an with a remarkably strong voice who
would sing and cry glory" with such
vigor as to be heard above all tbs rest
Of the congregation, but she was Of an

was the custom at the missionary meet
ings which she attended to take up the
collection during the singing Of the
hymn ely abroad, thou mighty Cos

nah always threw back her head, closed
her eyes and sang away at the top Of
her lungs until the plate had been pass
ed. The collector, who was an old man
of plain speech, observed this habit, and
one evening when he came to her seat
he surveyed her rapt c~ountenance and
then said bluntly, Look a-heah, Aunt
Dinah, what's de good OBJ yo' a-singin

The Disfguring "AIake Up"

So long as we indulge in the barbar-
ism of footlights some strengthening OF
the points Of the face may be needful.
1t is indeed an excellent thing when
deity done and the material causes of
the effect entirely hidden, as they should
be. The clarity Of a whittier tint to the
general tone Of the skin, the illumina-
tion Of eye and teeth by emphasizing
the brow and lashes and lips. the height
ening of the color-all these things can
be SO done as to disguise the means by
which they are done. What is the
method actually pursued? White is laid
all over face and shoulders in thick
washes, like a Pierrot's mask, masses
of black pomade load the eyebrows and
eyelashes, great gobs Of red are put upon
the ear lobes and on and around the
lips like a snapdragon, deep pink in and
below the n~ostrils and on the eyelids
and masses Of black or purple beneath
the eyes, projecting to the temples in
arrowheads.
All these things are perfectly visible
to a large part Of the audience and are
disfiguring ever at a distance. With an
opera glass they are shocking. The OBJ
jects which are obtained are the Cog
Cling of the eyes, which % be thrown
about with the intensity Of a darky's,
and the display Of the worries. which
produce a similar effect to his. For pas
sion to show itself in such plastered
faces, for waves of emotion to spread
over them and for any refinement Of
feeling to communicate itself to the au-
dience are as impossible as it would be
to expect these things from tho painted
canvas. They cannot cry, of course. nor
touch, nor be touched, without disaster.

Valuable Pottery.

An interesting story is told Of Lady
Helen de Hangest-Genlis, who started a
small pottery on her estate, chateau of

mace the famous Faience d'Oiron. She
was widow, cultured and very artistic.

said 70 have heen preserved, but it was
in the manufacture of china that she
made a name fer herself. Not more than
80 pieces q Faience d'Oiron are now
known to BE il existence. All Of them
are small, but OF SURPRISING beauty.
They are supposed to have been made
as gifts for friends. They have an inlaid

TIE FISTS COLOR.
Ab-o IN y Marvellous Degree TO Adapt

It is z familiar fact that fishes can
change their colors at will. Many fishes
make remarkable changes. Free swim
ming fishes most commonly preserve
their normal %colors, though these fishes
can change. The fishes that change most
ere the bottom feeders. For their own
protection from other fishes that would
prey upon them and the better to enable
them themselves to capture food these
change their colors to match the bottom
they aro Oh SO as to make themselves
invisible. They do this often to a degree
that seems extraordinary.
In one Of the smaller salt water tanks
at the New York aquarium there are a
number of small iatish. The bottom of
the tank is covered with coarse gravel.

In French theaters the doctor OF the
