MAKING ARTIFICIAL ICE.
How the Plants Are Constructed and OPP
Grated In PhiIadeIphia.

How the Plants Are Constructed and OPP
Grated In Philadelphia.
Artificial cold or ice may be most
readily produced by the evaporation Of
more or less volatile liquid. In the
first machines constructed this liquid
was water One tenth Of the amount of
water used was converted into ice, but
as it was necessary to maintain vac
uum in the apparatus its perfect work
ing was a difficult problem. A more
readily volatile liquid, therefore, had
to be substituted, such as liqueied sui
phurous acid and liquefied ammonia.
Being gaseous at ordinary temperatures,
they are very suitable substances for
this purpose. The ammonia ice machine
is the one in most general use-in fact,
it finds exclusive application in this
city. This liqueted ammonia is allowed
to expand in coils of pipes which are
placed i'll tanks filled with brine. The
temperature of the brine is thus reduced
to a point below the freezing point of
water-that is, to 14-18 degrees E.
In this refrigerated brine are placed
galvanized iron tanks having the shape
of the large cakes of ice which one is
accustomed to see in the wagons that
pass through our city streets. After
period of 1880 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 into the
storage rooms. The gaseous ammonia
in the pipes can be used over and over
again. large compression engine being
part of the plant, which reduces the
expense of the process. From this de-
scription it should be plain that there
can be no faint of ammonia to give
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 in the
white streak found in the center of each
cake. The pure water separates from
the impure and freezes first. Even ten
years ago the demand for ice was sup
piled from natural sources, the har-
vests from our own Pennsylvania riv
ers, which were stored every winter in
great houses on the shores of the streams,
being supplemented by shipments
throughout the summer from Maine.
There are now in Philadelphia 16 ice
making plants, some of which yield
over 100 tons per day each, and the arti-
fetal product for several years has been
a serious competitor of the natural arti-

A Very Worthy Cause.

Elsewhere in our columns will be
found a notice of the branch of the State
Charities Aid Association, which pro-
yides destitute mothers with situations
in the country. This work is very help
full to many who would otherwise be
borne down by the current in the strug-
gle for life. The death rate of infants
under their care has decreased until the
mortality is less than one per cent. while
on Randalls Island it is not less than
fourteen per cent. During the year just
passed 81 situations were given to
mothers of which 10 were in New Jer-
sey The total e2 pense of maintaining
the institution during the year was ST.
912.40 an average expense for each of
the mot lers in our charge, with her
oaby Of, a little less than $500. Remem-
bering that such mothers and babies
were until, recently, supported by the
city institutions at rates varying from
1854 to $3.50 per year for each mother
and baby, the economy of the plan is
evident. The agency is supported by
voluntary contributions, and the Com
rnittee appeals most earnestly for the
generous support of larger circle of
friends. Contributions may be sent to

The question of an eight hour day is
one upon which laboring men are sup
posed to be united. But reports received
at the office of the labor commissioner
indicate that a rather large per cent of
them are opposed to a legal eight hour
day.
Reports were received from ], O60 wage
earners who were asked the question:
Are you in favor OF a law making an
eight hour day a legal days work?"
Out of the 1850 reporting 752 express
ed themselves in favor of an eight hour
day and 308 were opposed. Among those
who reported 20 locomotive engineers
want an eight hour day and are OPP
posed to it; so f1remen want an eight
hour day and are opposed to it; 81
trackmen favor an eight hour day and
IL oppose it.
The largest proportion of opponents
is found among clerks and bookkeepers.
Reports were received from 25 book
keepers. Only eight of them want an
eight hour day and II oppose it; 46
clerks want an eight hour day and AZ
oppose it. The reason given by nearly
all these opponents is that by shorten
ing the work day employment would
be given to more men and the wages
would suffer a reduction
Other classes of Iaborers reported
with the following results:
BARRIERS, II for and against.
Carpenters, % for and IA against.
Cigarmakers, 16 for and none against
Day laborers, Al for and 20 against
Farm laborers, 8 for and 1 against.
Miners, so for and none against.
Printers, 48 for and Is against.
A remarkable thing about the reports
is that the reason assigned by printers
and many of other classes for wanting
an eight hour day that it would give
employment to more people, is the very
| reason assigned by many bookkeepers
| and clerks for not wanting an eight
| hour day.

WONDERFUL ORE SPECIMEN
Piece of Quartz Found in Colorado Is
Worth $2,16O.

Denver, July 15.-The finest specimen
Of quartz gold ore ever sent to the
state bureau of mines, the finest speci-
men ever seen in Colorado, and proba-
bly, the finest specimen in existence for
that kind of ore was received from the
Smuggler-U Union mine, Telluride San
Miguel county, recently. 1t was i'm
mediately sent to the lapidary's whence
it emerged neatly cut in two sections
The shape of the specimen is that of
a triangle, being eight and one-half
inches on a side and four and one-haIf
thick, maximum Dimensions It's weight
is Is and one-half rounds, of which, ex-
perts say, ten pounds is pure gold. This
at $18 an ounce, makes the value of this
one piece of ore g, 1850
The cutting required three whole
days, and four karats or diamond dust
were used on it. This, at the whole
sale cost Of SIS a karat, which the Iapi-
daries pay, makes the actual cost of
cutting $40, exclusive of time and labor
which will, of course, swell that figure
considerably.
The managers of the mine loaned this
piece of gold to the state for use during
the Transmississippi exposition only
but it is probable that, in view of the
commotion which it is creating among
mining men in the city, they will allow
it to remain on exhibition in the bureau
of mines for some time after the return
of the exhibits from Omaha.
