MAKING ARTIFICIAL ICE.
How the Plants Are Constructed and op-
 erated In Philadelphia.

efateu ln f'httaueipHiA
 Artificial cold or ice may be most readily produced by the evaporation of a 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 liquefied sul- 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 liquef1ed ammonia is allowed to expand in coils of pipes which are placed in tanks filled with brine. The temperature of the brine is thus reduced to point below the freezing point of water-that is to l4-1S degrees F.
 In this refrigerated brine are placed galvanized iron tanks having the shape of the large cakes of ice which one is
 
 pass through our city streets After period of 4S-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 shoot that runs into the storage rooms. The gaseous ammonia in the pipes can be used over and over again, a large compression engine being a part of the plant, which reduces the expense of the process From this de- scription it should be plain that there can be no taint 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 ths 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- CTS, 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 Is ice making plants some of which yield over 100 tons per day each, and the arti- icial product for several years has been a serious competitor of the natural arti- cle. .-Manufacturer.

A MORNING GLORY CULT.
This Flower Taking the Place of Chrys-
 anthemums In Japan.

This Flower Taking the Place of ChryB-
 anthemums In Japan.
 Miss Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore has an article on "The Wonderful Morning Glories of Japan in The Century. Miss Seidmore says;
 As floral sensation the chrysan 5he- mum may be said to have had it's day, the carnation is going, going. and seek CTS after novelty among flower fanciers are signing for a new flower to conquer. It is hardly known, even to foreign res- idents in Japan, that that land, which has given us so much of art and beauty, has lately revived the culture of its most remarkable flower the asagao, our morning glory. For size, beauty, range of color and illimitable variety there attained this surr: se flower precedes all others until it's cultivation has become 8 craze, which is likely to spread to other countries, and-who knows-per- haps there introduce the current Jap anese custom of 5 o'clock in the morn- ing teas and garden parties.
 Asagao, the morning flower, is more especially Japan's own blossom than the chrysanthemum, which, like it., came from China as primitive sort of weed, afterward to be evolved by Jap anese art or magic into floral wonder of hundred varying forms.
 We who know and grow the m~1 D. ing glory as humble back yaas. vine on a string-a vine with leaves like those of the sweet potato and puny little pink or purple fowers-are as far in the floral darkness as the Chinese, who know it chiefly as wild thing of fields and hedge rows, the vine of "the little trumpets'' or the dawn flower, that is entangled with briers and bushes for miles along the top of Peking's walls. The old poetry and the old art do not seem to be permeated with it. as in Japan, where the forms of vases, bowls aud cups, the designs and paintings of the greatest masters, repeat the graceful lines of vine and flower, and scores ot famous poems celebrate the asagao in written characters as beautiful to the eye as is their sound to the ear.
 The asagae was brought to Japan with the Buddhist religion, that partic- ular cult of early rising. Scholars and priests who went over to study the new religion brought back the seeds of many Chinese plants The tea plant came then, and Eisai brought the seeds of the sacred Do tree, and Tai Kwan, the Chi. nese priest at tho Obaku temple in Lii, who may have introduced the flower tc Japan, was one Df the first to sing oi the asagao in graceful outas, classic poems which scholarly brushes repeat today. "Asagnos bloom and fade SC quickly, only to prepare for the nor. row. S glory, is Tai Kwan' best known verse

Sheen Ticks.

Every one who has sheep knows the tick, the worst pest of this animal, that does serious harm to the young lambs without suspicion of the cause to ths shepherd. This reddish brown creature is a wingless fly and very greedy bleod- sucker. A dozen of them on a lamb will quickly suck the little one dry. It is to be looked after at the time of shearing, when these insects go for shelter to the lambs It is found mostly where the animal cannot reach it--on its head, buried in the skin, sucking the blood.
 Its skin is tough, and it is not easily crushed with less than blow of ham, mer. In small fiocks it is not much of job to go through, with a pair of small scissors to cut the ticks in two, but where the flock is over score it will be necessary to dip the lambs Exchange.

 ''I wasn't thinking of that, said the first speaker, but of way they have of taking the wind out of your own sails. It never occurred to me until the other morning that it was not to see me that young fellows kept dropping in to play cards and make themselves agree able. I tumbled at last, but 1t was my hunting dog Jack that opened my eyes.
 Your hunting dog?" echoed the crowd.
 "Yes. I had heard of nearly every kind of plan for the communication of lovers except a dog In this case Jack became Cupid's messenger Those boys borrowed the dog ostensibly to go hunting, but l have learned since that they didn' know gun from hoe han dle. They tied Jack up overnight, and as soon as he got out in the morning he made bee line for home. If hadn t seen the corner of a paper sticking from under his collar 1 should never have suspected the eagerness with which these girls tried to head him off from me. !"
 He had letter for them?"
 No, just note asking the privilege nf seeing dear Miss Kate or Miss Sue in .he park for walk and chat. Nice idea, employing the dog of the family in clandestine oorrespondencel I an- swered that note myself, and the two girls haven't spoken to me since Jack is tied up, and I'm watching the cat now, for have no doubt they'll find 8 way tG eircpmvent me - Chicago Times Herald.

competition. The strong crush out the
weak and since added strength comes by
combination the trust becomes COM
mon institution Of competitive society.
The people must do away with this
tendency toward feudalism. AS Mr..
Lewis asks. what will it avail the poor
man If the amount of money in circu-
lation is increased while the use Of
money Is regulated according to the in
terests Of allied corporations? How
much better off will he be while trusts
have the power to say what he shall
pay for what he needs to maintain life?
While the competitive system exists the
people will need to guard against the
encroachments of private power into the
domain of public rights. In the devel-
Opment which has followed the civil
war we have been too careless; the priv
ileges of the people have been usurped,
and no one campaign issue, however just
can gain back the ground that has been
lost A fight that will win a lasting
victory must give defeat to all the OPP
posing forces. The campaign of 1900
must bring a sweeping victory-sweep-
ing in that 1t shall result in the downfall
of all foes Of the commonwealth. Let
silver be the slogan, but let us not on
that account forget what should be done
to preserve all the rights Of the people,
including as we'll as an honest money, a
full and honest use of that money.
