ARTIFICIAL INDIGO.
s0ne of India's Industries Imperiled b.
Recent Discoveries.


Recent Discoveries.
Chemical experiments which had
in view the production of artificial
indigo, and which, consequently,
threatened to extinguish a great
East Indian industry, have been in
progress for years, but they have
only recently reached a stage
where this product can be obtained
>cheaply enough to compete with the
Did article commercially. There was
a time when, III central Germany, a
large quantity OF indigo was manu-
aactured from home grown plant.
But for SON reason the indigo plant
of East India yielded a much larger
proportion of dye than this one, and
latter q century CT two, in spite of
protective legislation and the prom
Uses of European manufacturers to
use only the domestic indigo, the
Germans abandoned the further pro
->duction Of the latter. 1t now looks
as if East India we're about to expe-
-rience similar fate. at the present
time her indigo industry yields her
several millions of dollars. She fur
:n1shes the calico printers OF the
whole world with dye stuff.
Chemistry has found it a much
easier task TO take substance apart
than 70 put together again. Count
less essences and extracts have been
anal yZeu, and their exact compost
ton learned. Careful lists have been
MADE, showing the precise proper
ton III which the atoms Of carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen go together
in these compounds But when the
oAelniat attempts to build up one of
these substances from its elements
he often discovers that they won't
con blne. Already several perfunl es
OF flowers have been exactly inlitat-
ed by this method, and 50 years ago,
after IS years Of experiment, q cheap
way Of getting the ooloring rrinci-
pie ct madden, beautiful red dye,
out Of coal tar W as found. Since that
time it has not been profitable to
1aise the madden plant. The posi-
blllty OF mans putting together the
ingredients which nature employs in
making the essential part OF indigo,
and in precisely the same proper
lions, was denaonst a long time
ago. And ''synthetic chemistry
has since been studying the problem
OF cheapeniny the process, so that it
might be placed on a commercial
basis.
A German house, the Badische
Anitin and Soda Fab1ik, Of Lud-
Wigshafen- Rhine, has placed
On the market an almost pure indigo
blue at a price SO very near that of
the East Indian article that for
midable competition is at last threat
ened. Il should be observed that the
indigo plant yields, in addition to
the blue principle (indigo tiny red
dye.
The manufacturing chemists have
thus far got only the blue dye. More
over, it is alleged that the system Of
treating the East Indian plant now
in vogue does not extract all Of Ell
1ther principle which exists there.

article little more IT is too soon,
therefore, to predict the complete
downfall Of the indigo business Of
the east. But is certainly in great
er peril today than ever before.

Turning about at the farther end, he

by the company, in which the 300 or 400
employees are housed and fed. For the

Sixteen inches of ice is considered 4
little too thick by the ice men. Twelve
or fourteen is thick enough for them.
The average buyer considers cake to
weigh, roughly, 200 pounds. And when
he gets cake he expects POO pounds
But he makes no allowance for the ex-
cess where the thickness is greater than
is required for that weight. Besides
that, the larger blocks are much more
difficult to handle
Ice II inches thick will overrun 200
pounds a little. And every added inch
of thickness, when the blocks are %
inches square, means the addition Of
ID pounds to the cake. Much of the ice
cut this winter is 1S Inches thick. That
means, with this size of cake, 30
pounds. Which is more than the Ice
man likes to sell for 200.
There are some blocks of ice so clear
that a person can read through them,"
but ice six inches thick would offer a
pretty effectual barrier to the cleaner
of news if he read through from top to
bottom. Average ice is clear enough
to offer little obstacle If one reads
through from side to side. 1t Is %
inches square. And the eye can easily
distinguish fairly fine print through
those twenty-five inches. But, though
it Is only sixteen inches thick no one
would pretend the second time that he
could read through it from the upper
to the neither side.

along-One broken or otherwise unde-
sirable-the men snatch it from the
track, If they have time, and shoot it
over the ends of the scaffoldng and
down to the ground.
Along the extensive side of the house
are built platforms at different eleya-
tions, with doors opening upon them
from the houses The tracks on which
the ice blocks travel are laid on these
platforms, and at each of the doors II

him and turns in the door, where it
shoots down another incline to the
workmen who are placing the ice in po
sition.
The speed of the Ice blocks rs they
approach the door is amazing. The
force of one would be something like
the blow of Il cable ear. The man at
the door does not try to handle the
cakes with anything like an arbitrary
force. He whacks his pike beard into

These men have an appliance about the
size of an ordinary express wagon box.
1t proceeds sidewise, and tipped up in
such manner as to carry the snow along
with it. Its neither edge is provided
with a steel plate, so that the ice is
scraped perfectly clear of snow. The
snow is banked up in great ridges, as
nearly out of the way as possible. Then
come the markers. A man with an
eye for line stretches rope from one
to two furlongs in length, and pushes n

done very little. It's only use has been
to cut the field up into rafts of the re-
quired size, either 10 by 30 cakes or 20
by go cakes.
Arrived in the neighborhood of the
houses, the men go aboard the raft
with bars and by striking here and
there in the lines cut by the plows sep
arate the raft into smaller sections,
each two blocks wide. These rafts are
sent forward again and as they come to
the foot of the incline up which the
blocks must travel to the house another
man goes clong and cuts the float into
separate blocks, n slight blow of the
needle bar or "spud' being sufficient
to separate them.
An icehouse is simply great, barn
like structure with declining arms
reaching down into the edge of the

up which the ice blocks are conveyed
for storing in the houses. In smaller
affairs the Ice Is hoisted by horse pow
er. In the larger, great engines drive
endless chains which pass down under
the water and rise at the foot of the
wooden incline. The ice blocks, now
separated, are driven forward upon
them, and the links of the chain, as
they rise, catch the blocks and carry
them up to the levels where they are
wanted.
1t takes good deal of Judgment to
feed the chain properly. The blocks
must come forward fast enough to keep
the elevator in constant business. And
it must not come SO swiftly as to clog

A Winter Industry.

Common as Ice is of one kind and
another, not all the persons who use 1t
In summer have seen 1t cut In winter.
In cold day the ice man gets rich, and
nothing can be more TO his liking than
the chilly blasts of December, the zero
efforts of January. All about the
great cities and trade distributing cen-
ters are located favorable spots for cut
ting Ice, and sight of a great store

average blocks of 900 pounds, the ma
chinery, the large number of men em-
ployed to cut this immense harvest, in
terests and startles the person taking
1t for the first time.
Usually some small lake is selected as
the harvesting spot, and here, as soon as
cold snap gives steely surface to the
ice, the superintendent of the ice
houses takes all the men he can find
work for, and apportlons them their
tasks. The average with gangs about
such fields us those contiguous to Chi
cago, is, say, 100 men, and they cut

it. 1t must be two cakes wide all the
time and the cakes must be advanced
slngly at the last. When the links of
the endless chain catch the cakes of
ice and carry them up the incline, it
drops them over little ridge and they
at once start down slower slope 10
the doors of the icehouse. This latter
incline, very gentle declivity. Is sup
piled with tracks on which the blocks
can run smoothly. Half way down to
the house there Is a divide and the
two men at the place where the endless
chain delivers the blocks. direct the
course of the ice, as to the right or the
left. Each Is armed with a pike with

force of its own momentum swings 1t
around, and it leaves the platform
track, plunges through the door and de.
scendS like an avalanche to the levels
below.
Down in the icehouse there are other
men, sitting at the side of the runway
down which the blocks are hurled. They
take such of the blocks as they can
reach in time and drag them from the
track and shoot them to this side or
that OF the great room. There men are
awaiting the ice with poles and each
block is placed in regular order till the
great floor of the house Is filled Then
another layer is placed on the first and
IA third on the second and so on till the
house is filled.
There is no sawdust between the lay
ers, as there used to be, when ice was
put up in the country If the men
stopped to make that provision they
wouldn't get the crop in the warehouses
till after the first of May. And every
one knows that is no time TO cut ice.
All the provision made against melting
is the stutfings of shavings and saw
dust in the double walls of the building
and the layers of hay that cover the
whole.
The pay Is all the way from 81 to
S1.I5 a day, depending on the class Of
work done. Most of the men in the
houses and on the field, laborers work

Ice Sailing on skates.

Sailing on skates is very popular In
some localities. The skater crosses
two sticks. binds them and covers them
with canvas, making the whole about
six feet by one or two in extent. He
places this sail against his back and
runs his arms through the sticks so as
TO hold 1t. With good wind he can
go twenty miles an hour over smooth
ice, and he can tack and beat against
the wind. just as in sailing boat. 1t
Is very exciting, but 1t requires some
daring to start in, as the rapidity or
the skater is apt to terrlfy the man
who has never tried it. In skating with
the wind ones eyes water, but one can
see quite we'll enough to avoid holes.
There would be little chance of being
saved if you did blow In. However. 1t
is nm easy thing to blow across three
foot hole in going at a high rate OF
speed. 1t Is very exciting sport. ana
very little practice is requlred-though
It demands comparatively smooth ice
for good skating. IL an obstruction Is
met your fall is pretty hard.
