The most ancient method of making
ice is practiced in India. Holes are
made in the ground, dry straw is put
at the bottom of these, and on it. al
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 in
dustry is carried on only in districts
where the ground is dry and will readi-
ly absorb the vapor given off from the
water in the pans. The freezing, oil

heat absorbed by the vapor in passing
