HISTORY OF ICEMAKING.
Singular Methods Followed by People Ger
furioc ox

Singular Methods Followed by People Cen
turies Ago.
The most ancient method of max
ing ice is practiced in India. Holes
are made in the ground, dry straw
is put at the bottom of these, and on
it at the close Of the day are placed
pans of water, which are left until
the next morning, when the ice that
is found within the pans is collected.
This industry is carried on only in
districts where the ground is dry
and will readily absorb the vapor
given off from the water int the pans.
The freezing, of course, is due to the
great amount Of heat absorbed by
the vapor in passing from it's liquid
to its gaseous form.
Another process was practiced in
the days of ancient Rome, when the
wealthy are said to have had their
wines cooled by having the bottles
placed in water into which saltpeter
was thrown, the bottles being the
while rotated.
DR.. Cullen in 1755 discovered that
the evaporation of water could be
facilitated by the removal of the
pressure of the atmosphere, and that
by doing this water could be frozen.
Nairn, in 1777, discovered that sui
phuric acid would absorb the vapor
of water if placed in a second vessel
separate from that containing the
water, but connected with it. This
discovery he put to use in 1910 by
constructing an apparatus for abb
sorbing the yapor of the water that
it was desired to cool or freeze. This
apparatus greatly facilitated the
freezing operations Of vacuum
freezing machine.
Jacob Perkins was the father of
what is now known as the compress
sion system, having invented the
first machine of the kind in 1884,
and as these machines, improved,
are at the present day mere in. use
than any other, a description Of
Perkins patent may be of interest.
His apparatus consisted of an insu-
lated vessel, in which was inclosed
second vessel containing ether, a va
por pump, worm and worm tub,
tube between the second vessel and
the pump, another betweenthe pump
anu the worm, a third between the
worm and the bottom of the ether
vessel and the necessary valves.
AS afterward constructed, the ap-
paratus was made up of a jacketed
pan, within which was the water to
be cooled; an insulated box in which
was placed the pan, pump to ex-
tract the vapor from the jacket, a
worm in which the vapor was con-
densed after it left the pump, a worm
tub containing cold water to cool
the worm and by means of the lat
ter the vapor within it, and pipes
connecting the top of the pan jacket
to the pump, the pump with the
upper end of the worm, and the low
er end of the WORM with the under
side of the pan jacket The refrig-
Grating agent used with this appa-
ratus was one derived from the de-
structive distillation of caoutchouc.
James Harrison improved uponSJa-
cob Perkins apparatus in 1855, and
it has been further improved by
many others since. = Cassier's

Why lie Winked at His Father

Not long since smart seven
year-old son of our preacher, after Ser
vice was over, and the family had re-
turned home from church, said, Papa,
do you ever look at me while you are
preaching?'
The father, thinking that he was
little hurt by supposed neglect, said
Certainly, my son; | often look at
you and think Of you when | am
preaching.
But to-day you did not notice me
at all. !"
"Yes, | did, son, several times, y
said the father.
"Well, papa, did you see me wink
at you two or three times?'
"No, my son; what did you wink
at me for when l was preaching?'
II winked at you, papa, to get you
to stop; you were spinning it too
long.

toward the Opening, intending to

toward the opering, intending to
make dash into the canon and trust
ing to the swiftness of the movement
to dlsconcert the marksman above. He
planned to send the main body on in
pursuit of the ambulance, while suf-
ficient number remained to dislodge
the man who was preventing them
from following their prey.
Mickey waited for the appearance
OF the Indians with every nerve strung
to its highest tension. He thrilled
with satisfaction at each moments de-
lay, for he knew that the troops fol.
lowing him would make good time
and probably meet the ambulance be-
fore the Indians could overtake it.
When they had reached the point of
vantage sought, Black Eagles signal
was given, and they dashed into the
opening. Crack! crack! crackl went
Mickey's carbine. Then as rapidly as
he could fire he discharged the six
shots from his revolver. He noted
confused tumble of ponies and Indians
in the centre of the roadway, but others
jumped over them, and he saw them
streaming away far up the canon.
Again the carbine cracked. Six,
seven, eight are down; nine, no, he
had missed that fellow. STRANGE"
he thought, ''that / cannot hit that red
pate; the fellow must bear charmed
life. +" Again the hideously painted
face came within range, and as Mickey
ireI he was filled with exultation to
see the savage roll down the rocks.
Now tufted heads were beginning
to appear from behind every boulder,
and shots were spattering on the rocks
around him Ah-had hot iron been
thrust though his left shoulder? A
moment later his right foot also was
scared by an Indian bullet.
He hardly felt the pain of his
wounds. He was thinking of the fair
young girl, whose image was indelbly
imprinted upon his heart as she was
whirled past MIN a short time before.
Suddenly a rock rolled down from
above. He turned to look up. There
and then darkness.
When the general returned at the
head of the cavalry troop to the scene
of Mickey's adventure he found the
lad lying where he had fallen. He
was dead, but the body had not been
mutilated, for the Indians had been
driven off by the approach of the
troops.
In the regimental descriptive book
of the Fifteen cavalry the following re-
mark is entered opposite the name of
Michael Donovan, G troop, in the
handwriting of General Farr:
''Born in obscurity, reared in pow
erty and ignorance, yet possessed of
the divine attributes of hero! The
voluntary sacrifice of life that others
might live is greater than the duty of
a soldier; it is true heroism. Youths

The Age of Marvels.

We have witnessed the accomplish
ment of many apparent miracles" in
recent years, such as the freezing of
mercury into solid bar when poured
into white hot crucible, by means Of
liquid air ;the making of light without
heat by means OF electric vibrations in
vacuum tubes; looking through solid
bodies by means of the Roentgen rays;
studying the beating heart of living
person, and seeing his skeleton through
the feshy tissue and even through the
garments; telegraphiug without wires;
transmitting autographs and likenesses
by telegraph; diving beneath the waves
in submarine boat; analyzing the
sun and stars by the spectroscope:
measuring the heat of the moon and
stars by the bolometer; operating rail-
way trains and street cars with the
electric force; moving carriages and
horses by the storage battery; imitat-
ing the flight of birds by means of
the aeroplane, and many other equally
marvellous achievements.
Some Of these discoveries and in
ventions, says the Philadelphia Record,
are still in an experimental stage;
some are interesting mainly to the
student of original research in pure
science while others have az imme-
diata practical value.

An historic Carriage.

An historic carriage owned by the
late DR.. Evans has been offered for
sale at the Paris Tattersall establish
ment, but it was decided at the last
moment to retain the vehicle as an
item of the estate. In it the doctor
left Paris with the Empress Eugene
on Sept. 4, 1870, when he was assist
ing her to reach England. 1t is in
tended by the heirs OF the noted dem
tist to transfer the carriage to the
Evans Museum, which is to be
founded in America under the clauses
of the doctors will.
The vehicle will be temporarily
handed over to the care of the old
coachman who drove the empress, her
attendants and the doctor to the coast
in 1870, when she was about to en-
bark for England in Sir John Bur-
goynes yacht. The vehicle is a lan-
dau with accommodations for four
persons, and was built in 1867 for the
Exhibition. About ten years since
DR.. Evans had it recleaned and reem-
belished, in order to make a journey
to Greenville over the same ground
as that traversed by him with the
Empress in 1870 Daring that long
drive lie stopped at the same places

The Baltimore American says: "The
effort to introduce foreign quail into
this country has apparently pro,el a
complete failure. Several wears ago
sportsmen through this country were
deeply interested in the attempt made
in this state to propagate quail from
other countries. Many birds were
imported into this city, land then liber-
ated throughout the state. These
have apparently all disappeared. The
most conspicuous attempts were trans
porting here of birds from the Scilly
Isands and from China. The money
spent in this direction was a loss.
The last attempt on an elaborate scale
to stock Maryland with exotic birds
was by Frank T. Redwood, the stock
broker and member of the Baltimore
Yacht club, and hunt for his birds
reveals the fact that none of them are
to be found"

Relics of the Spanish Armada.

One of the most fatal spots for Ar
mazda ships had been Sligo bay, Ire
land. When Geot1rey Fenton went
to view the scene of disaster, he found
Spanish guns sunk half a horseman's
stall in the shifting sand, and "num-
bered i'll one strand of less than five
miles in length above 100 dead
corpses of men which the sea had
driven upon the shore;" and the
country people told him 'the like was
in other places, though not of like
number" Somewhat later, the lord
deputy, on his way, as he expressed
it, to despatch ''those rags" of the
Spaniards which still infected the
country, saw with amazement the
masses of wreckage scattered along
beach on the same Timber
enough to build 'five of the greatest
ships that ever / saw, besides mighty
great boats, cables and other cordage,
and some such masts for bigness and
length rs l never saw any two could
make the like" A copy of the sail
ing directions given by Medina ST.
dOnia, found perhaps in some cap
tain's sea-chest among the wreckage,
fell into the lord deputy's hands. A
grim smile must have fitted over his
face as he read the words: "Take great
heed lest you fall upon the Island of
Ireland for fear of the harm that may
happen unto you upon that coast %
