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

How the Plants Are Constructed and OPP
Grated In Philadelphia.
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 a 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 liquetied 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 On9 III most general use-in fact,
it finds exclusive application in this
city. This liquefed 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 a point below the freezing point of
water-that is, to 14-18 degrees F.
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 a
period of 1850 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
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 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 l6 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-

Slow Progress of the Legislature.

The slow progress of the Legislature
in getting any work done together
with the employment of a commission
of lawyers, prompts a writer to say in
the DeLdWaredn:
''To pay the Legislature to make
laws for the State and then pay lawyers
to make laws for the Legislature, seems
to be paying twice for the same thing.
Usually when man contracts to do a
job and employs some one else to do
it for him, he fOots the bills"
'"The new constitution provides for
an increase in the number of Senators
and Representatives; in conformity
with this let it be enacted by the pres
ent Legislature that a certain portion
of each House shall be lawyers. 1t
would be in the line of economic poll
tics in certain emergencies, as in the
present instance.
The Deld1Udredn says editOrlally:
"The Legislature adjourned on
Thursday until next Wednesday. We
trust that when it reconvenes a num-
ber of important bills will besprepared
and more rapid progress can be made
in the enactment of the necessary leg
islation."

ONCE THEY WE'RE MEDIUMS.
Now They Expiate Their Sins by Tossing
Balls of Blue Fire,

-'" Ahey 6NPlate Their Sins by Tossing
Balls of Blue Fire.
Close by the Northwestern tracks at
Leavitt street is the home of the "iup-
CLING sisters. " They were twin presti-
dlgitators III their days of life, so runs
the tradition. and now they toss balls
of blue fire about as the juggler does
eggs, cannon balls and the like. Their
pet amusement is to stand on their
heads and toss the balls as if they were
standing afOOt. The force Of gravity
seems to be reversed for their benefit.
for they toss the balls of fire down,
and the little flames 'fall' up. All this
is set down just as James MacCourtney,
the Oldest settler i'll the neighborhood,
tells it. He said the other day:
Them broad windys over there on
the north side of the old building is the
place where the sisters comes to show
themselves. The year of the Worlds
fair l counted up their performances, an
they come every So days The reason
fer that is sOmethin could never guess,
but some smart young chap here fig
gered out that it was always in the
dark Of the moon. I've noticed since
that there never was no moonlight when
they got up there in the windys.
What's the cause of their hauntin
the old place? Why, sir, the story's so
old there can't no truth nor lie be mado
out on it. There's no man i'll these dig
gins longer'n be, an l ken the story
only by hearsay, so to speak. heerd it
from my granddaddy, an he said he heerd
1t when he was a young man comm
here. That mus "a ben in the thirties.
Onnyways he sed that the two sisters
was persdiditaters. 1t seems like they
give a performance in the house, which
was new then i'll course, an the pair Of
them agreed ter be locked up in box
thet was to be sealed an fastened, an
then they was to get out without break
i'll the seals. Well, they was locked up,
but they couldn't get out, an purity soon
they foun themselves so short Of breath
they couldn't holler loud enough to be
heerd. In course they was in a room
away from the other people, SOS the
common folk couldn't see how the trick
was turned. When they couldn' t holler,
they tried rappin, an the others only
thought they was a-wOrkin out of the
box an so didn't pay attention. After
an hour or SO the other peoples got nerv-
GUS an went in an opened the box, an
there was the two sisters, cold dead
They buried 'em together in the box in
the yard back of the house, an that's
why they juggles the fire balls upside
down like. Chicago Chronicle.

Presiding Elders.

1t Is said trouble is expected at the
coming session of the Wilmington
Conference over the selection of pre-
siding elder for the Wilmington Dis
trict. 1t is alleged that the Rev. DIR.
Tinker, pastor of Grace church, Will
minSton, would accept the office, and
that the Bishop would gladly appoint
him, but for the fact that he is not
considered permanent member of the
Conference. Grace church calls its
pastor from outside Wilmington Con-
ference territory, as rule. 1t is the
richest church in the Conference and
pays the largest salary;-a salary high
enough to buy a high grade of pulpit
talent. This is all right. individuals
and churches are entitled to the best
their money affords. We do not un-
derstand the permanent pastors of the
Wilmington Conference object to this.
Some of them sometimes escape. bv
the route of transfers, to pastures new
and greener and richer. But there is
an opposition to the importations re-
naming as Presiding Elders, after the
the limit of their pastoral term is
reached. This office, one of great dig
nifty and Importance, should go, it is
claimed, to the persistent members of
the conference This seems reason
able. We are informed by Methodist
journals that fixing the presiding FL
derships is the most troublesome work
Of the presiding Bishops. Abolition
of the office has been again and again
suggested, but such a change in ad-
ministrative polity is not likely to
occur soon. EUHtOH Gazcttc.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. It is situated back of and very
near to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be easily avoided.
To find out correctly, set your urine
aside for twenty four hours; sedi-
ment or settling indicates kidney or
bladder trouble. The mild and extra
ordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney, and bladder
remedy is soon realized If you need
medicine you should have the best.

There is only one way to cure Deaf

famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets infamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
