Remarkable
Scheme to
Keep Us
All Cool.

One of these days and before very
long. too. the householder will be able
10 turn the faucet or press the button
and let in stream of cold air just as
easily as a stream of water can now be
turned on. A company has actually
been formed for the purpose of piping
cold air into houses and this at price
which will be within the means of pos
SCISSORS of moderate incomes.
All this is what genius has accom-
plished by a study of the cold storage
problem. When this plan Us under
way. old Sol can beam as fiercely as he
likes and the humidity can reach most
dreadful degrees without putting us in
a position where he cannot become
cool. 1t will be just as easy to cool the
room in summer as tits to regulate the
heat in winter by means of the radi-
ator or the register.
1t seems chimerical, perhaps, because
human nature is conservative, and
probably many a reader of this article
will shake his head at the suggestion.
Yet it is a very simple matter, or at
least that is the opinion of the officers
of the great company in New York
city. known as the Ganzevort Freezing
d Warehouse company. Just now the
company is arranging the preliminaries
to run system of pipes everywhere
from its big plant on the lower west
side of New York.
There is no new and remarkable pro-
cess to be used to bring about this re-
suit 1t is simply an improvement and
enlargement of the present method of
cooling the air for cold storage pur-
poses. In other words the company
proposes to permit each individual to
apply the cold storage principle to the
aid of his personal comfort Said the
superintendent, when questioned con-
corning the matter the other day:
I'VE have as much housing space as
most of the cold storage companies, and
the primary purpose of our new plant
was to supply the demands of our own
warehouse But there are certain kinds
of goods for which constant refrigera-
ton is required, but which cannot well
be kept in a storage warehouse.
For instance, there are the big
markets where meats and perishab bic
goods are kept on sale. The cost of
separate refrigerators, with the enor-
nous amount of ice consumed, is much
greater than it would be if there was
some effective system of central distri-
button. This is one class Of customers
we intend to supply. The other and
principal one will be private houses.
AS you doubtless know, all the cold
storage companies have abandoned the
use of ice for producing intense cold,
:. and we believe that the time is fast
passing when it can be economically
used for freezing operations.
The only thing that now prevents
the beginning of work on our trans
mission line is the delay in obtaining
a franchise to lay the pipes through the
street, but that will soon be remedied
When the project was first suggested
there was some opposition from the
steam companies and others. who feared
that their own lines would be interfereo

about three feet deep with rich stable
refuse mixed with one-third SILICA
formation, found near by. The conf
bined rich soil. the suns light and the
constant condensation of the steam
from the hot running stream makes
such perfect combination that NeGe-
tation has to grow night and day.
What has been the result? The first
seeds were put into the ground on the
4th of July, last year. Lettuce came
up from dry seed in two days and GU
cumbers in three days and other vege-
tables in like quick time. Good size

Is days lettuce measured p inches
across, which was as sweet and tender
as any one ever put into ms mouth
OFTEN the condensation of the steam
would break down the larger leaves by
the weight of the water upon them.
Cucumber vines grew from % to 30 feet

mushrooms and other vegetables will
grow to great advantage in this hot

fruits could also be raised.
There is very little labor To be done

with. But that disappeared as soon as
we explained our plans.
Some people seem 10 think that the
result of the underground piping OF
cold storage will be to freeze the earth
for a foot or two about the line, bur
that is no part of our scheme. In fact
we expect to pipe our product with as
little leakage as attends the sending OF
steam or electricity over the same dis
tance and are ready to guarantee that
the surrounding pipes shall not be dis
turbed.
The ammonia system will be used
the same as in our warehouse. The
ammonia compound will be generated
in the same tanks and will be forced
through the pipes by means OF hydrau-
lie pumps. The pipes viii be sunk
about four feet in the ground and will
be covered with a prepared coating
which we have found very efficient In
preventing leakage. Outside OF this
there will be cork jacketing to still
further protect the line.
There is no reason why the system
should not include all business concerns
and private households that have need
for refrigeration or that desire the air
to cool their rooms"
The scheme proposed by the Ganze-
wort company has been pronounced per-
fectly feasible by the men Interested
in the big refrigerating concerns 1t is

able. without any difficulty, to reduce
the temperature of a storage room to

cold enough for all practical purposes

| bility of using the same current over
and over again for different rooms
The vista which the possible develop
ment of this scheme conjures up for the

pleasing one. Think of the relief on

NEWEST WAY FOR PEOPLE TO GROW STRONG

heart Therefore, the use of weights
is a means of developing the body but
not physiological one.
In studying anatomy / soon noticed
that while all movable parts of the
body had muscles to move them one
way, they also had muscles to move

me that to use one muscle to offer re-
sistance TO another would cause the
same development of muscles and
strength as the use of weights to offer
the resistance, but with the alternate
contractions and relations would help
the venous circulation. and instead OF
obstructing the circulation in the cap

Tho De Lome Letter.

Judging from the brief statement given
out by the state department, there Is
reason to believe that the letter pub
llshed yesterday, containing abusive
language concerning President McKin-
ley, and alleged to have been written by
the Spanish minister at Washington,
Senior de Ionic, Is genuine. 1t appears
that the minister has not denied the
autograph and shat the American min
lister at Madrid has been advised OF the
matter.
II is safe TO say that the ma iority OF
people believed the letter was forgery.
This virtual confirmation Of its genuine
ness by the state department, however,
will doubtless create sensation and
much feeling throughout the country.
What this governments course in the
matter will be, beyond demanding the
recall of the offending diplomat, re-
mains to be seen. In the meantime the
public will await developmentsw with anx-
iety. The government of Spain cannot
afford to ignore any demand this gov
eminent may make In the matter within

Those who have had the pleasure OF
hearing the eloquent and logical lecture
OF Colonel Robert>White. of this city, in
reply to Colonel Robert lngersnll's lee
ture The Foundations of Faith" will be
pleased to know that 1t is now published
in pamphlet form and can be secured at
small cost. Those who have not heard
Colonel Whites plcndid arguments. but
have heard of 1t. will find themselves re-

In Colonel Ingcrsoll's lecture he at
tempts to knock the foundations from
under the religious faiths founded on the
Bible. Colonel White, whose lecture Is
entitled THE Old Foundation StIll
Stands" turns each specific knock OF
the great agnostic against himself. and
with masterful logic leaves the old foun-
dation standing firm in the light OF his
tory and science.
The lecture was originally delivered at
the request Of members OF the Masonic
fraternity, and the pamphlet Is dedi-
