PLANNING AN IcEHoUsE.

Conditions Necessary For Success-How
These May Be Attained.
The requirements for an icehouse are
tersely summed up by Country Gentle
man as follows: First, a dry founda-
ton perfectly sealed against entrance
Of air; second, an alright, nonconduct-
ing wall around the ice of such char
acter that any damp that might exist
or happen in the wall may be eyapo-
rated from the outside, and thus tend,
by the influence of evaporation, to cool
the wall; third, we'll ventilated cover
Or roof through which current of air
may pass, by which moisture gathering
in the covering over the body Of the ice
may be evaporated, with the result OF
keeping the covering dry and cool;
fourth, solid body Of ice packed 50
that all blocks, closely fitting, or hav-
ing the spaces between them filled with
small ice or the powdered fragments
made in the filling swept into the crew
ices, make single solid block of ice.
These requisites are best secured by a
wooden house, with double walls filled
in between with any dry, porous sub
stance, SO as to secure as many minute
air spaces as possible. Dry sawdust
answers this purpose better than any
thing else. Dry tan bark comes next,
fine charcoal next, and after these dry
forest leaves closely pressed down will
serve the purpose. The house should be
placed on elevated, dry ground, exposed
to the wind and air, and having no
shade 1t should have tight roof, with
gables open to the air, SO that a free
current of air may pass through and
over the covering Of the ice, keeping
this covering dry and perfectly sustain
ing its porosity, which would be de-
stroyed if the covering should be wet
and soggy. Inside the floor should be
sealed against the entrance Of air with
the greatest care. This is the weakest
part Of an icehouse and is to be looked
after particularly. A cemented floor is
the best There should be good drain
age on the floor by making several small
channels, all conveying to one corner,
where perfect air trap made like an s
laid on its side is placed, in which wa
ter will always stay, thus preserving
the bottom from access Of air which
would otherwise enter and soon cut o
way through the ice.
If these requisites are secured, no in
side packing is needed. The ice may be
packed close to the inner wall. Another
safeguard is to have the ice cut in
blocks, SO that the joints are broken, as,
for instance, 16 by "a or 10 by Is, 8
feet lengthwise crossing 2, thus efectu-
ally preventing circulation of air
through the mass. To illustrate the ad
vantage and effect of this, it may be
mentioned that ice cut in this way has
been packed out of doors in pile and
merely covered by heap Of refuse tan
bark and simply inclosed in a rough
boarded inclosure, and it kept perfectly
we'll all the summer.
If these necessary conditions are se-
cured, any sort of shelter above ground
in an airy location will keep ice, but an
underground storage will fail because
the conditions required cannot be se-
cured.

How to DO Fall Flowing.

1t is wise rule to plow in the fall
only in pursuance Of definite and in
telligent plan. If heavy soil is to be
exposed to the disintegrating action Of
frost or an old piece Of greensward is to
be broken up and it is desired to freeze
the grubs out Of it or piece is wanted
for small grain as early as it can be seed
ed in spring there is good reason for
fall plowing, but light, rolling soil,
plowed in autumn and exposed for six
months or.ncre to the action Of wind
and water, loses something Of its fertil-
ity, even if it does net wash away or
gully. If it is desired to turn over such
soils in ito way C fall following, the
better WY to seed with some green
crop. 10 BE- turned under. in spring. This

HOW THE SICK

Continued From First Page0

that this regiment had at the time OF
its moving and had maintained one OF
the filthicst and most disgusting callIeehS
to he found in the entire army. FROM
personal observation Of this cahteeh.
some two weeks since, he was prepared
to assert that it was little better than
serving beer to the soldiers OF the
Eighth New York in Il hog pen.
1T is also true that the reports show
that since this regiment moved It's health
conditions have improved
INSTEAD of their being no water within
five miles of this regiment, two of the
largest and finest springs of clear water
in this entire country pronounced by
competent medical and chemical au-
thority to he pure water, are less than
two miles from their camp.
"Thc Eighth New York has been camp
cd upon the ground where General Ter
nv observed it, less than ten days. 1t
was perfectly clean ground, when they
occupied it, and had not been previously
occupied by any troops. If 1t had
been transformed within this brief pc
riod by the troops of the Eighth New
York into a place lilther and dirtier than
can be found in the slums of New
York. it will become the officers Of that
regiment and the men to explain how
such transformation could have been
made by them in this brief space OF
time.
"Whcthcr General Terry means that
d died in the camp of the Eighth New
York or - in the entire camp in one
day. and that nearly as many would
die the day of his departure, cannot be
exactly determined by his form oil
speech but OH the day that he is quoted
as making this remark, the deaths i'll
the entire army encamped here were
seven, and the deaths in the Eighth
New York, two days before his visit
(bcing the last report numbered only
one, which had been the rate for scV-
eral days.
"As to the hospitals being unclean,
and there being Il lack of food, and the
only food being regular army rationS
badly cooked. and other similar condi-
tions. a sufficient answer is found in
the critical examination of the hospital
of the First division of the Third Army
corps. General Frank commanding, set
forth above This hospital, III charge OF
Major c. NJ. Drake. is one of the clean
est and most complete which any vet
eran of the Civil War would expect to
see, and this is the division to which
the Eighth New York is attached.
I'm closing | beg leave to express my
opinion that most of the interviews with
chapains. rcgmental surgeons, and
others. both officers and men, now ap-
pearing at the North in many of the
newspapers in regard to this camp arc
reckless and false except as to filthy
conditions, which their own criminal
neglect has caused. In my Judgment
the recent increase in the out-crieS
against water and the persistent asser-
ton that the park is unhealthy. have
been largely and deliberately used to
stir up sentiment and influence which
would be exertcd to insure their relief
from service Very respectfully,
Your obcdicnt servant.

CASE OF CAPT. DREYFUS
HENRY, AUTHOR OF FORGED LETTER,
COMMITS SUICIDE.
This Letter, Apparently Written by German
Military Attache, Chief Evidence on
Which Dreyfus was Convicted.

Paris, Aug. 31.-Lieutenant Colonel
Henry, who had been arrested on the
discovery that he was the author of an
important letter that figured in the Drey-
fus case has committed suicide.
1t appears that so soon as NJ. Cavaig-
nae assumed the office of Minister for
War he charged the official bureau 20
make thorough research of the DreE-
fus case, and it was this inquiry when
resulted in the discovery of documents
lately read in the chamber of Deputies
by NJ. Cayaignac showing that PROOF
Of the guilt of Dreyfus was forged. When
Colonel Henry was summoned by the
Minister for War and questioned by Nj.
Cayaignac, in the presence of General
Roisdcffre and others, he at first affirm
ed the authenticity of the discriminating
document. But when discrepancies were
nointcd out. he at first admitted adding
sentences and finally confessed to fahri-
eating the whole letter. 1t is affirmed,
however. that while this discovery has
not changed NJ. Cavaignac's belief in the
culpabiIity of Dreyfus the Minister is
determined to punish all the guilty par
ties, no matter what their rank or posi-
ton may be.
Colonel Henry confessed to having
committed forgery, lowing to the absO-
lutte necessity for finding proofs against
Dreyfus. 1T is understood that he docu-
ment in question is the letter which has
hitherto been alleged TO have been writ
ten by the German military attache to
the Italian military attache in October,
1896.
1t is also said that when the interpella-
ton in the Dreyfus case was coming up
in the chamber of deputies this letter
was secretly communicated to the court
martial and was the chief evidence upon
which Dreyfus was convicted. The anti
Drcvfus papers are dumbfOunded ut the
turn of events, while on the other hand,
tbe Dapers which have been supporting
thc proposition to reopen the case arc
militant. They now demand the imm"-
diote release of Colonel Picquart, who
is imprisoned on charges connected in
directly with the Dreyfus affair. and
thev also insist upon a review of the
iJreyfuS trial.
II is reported that at today's cabinet
meeting the Ministers admitted that -
revision of the Dreyfus trial was abso-
lutclv unavoidable and Il public an
nouncemcnt that the Ministry has dccId-
cd TO initiate such revision is expected
soon.
