Using Ice to Keep Warm.

Ii may sound strange to be told that
you can keep things from freezing by
the liberal use of ice; yet it is fact,
and fact that shippers are using for
the preservation of their perishable
goods. In summer they use ice for
keeping goods cool, aud in winter they
use it for keeping them warm.
This apparent paradox is easily ex-
planned when we know that tempera-
ture is kept fro,r rising by keeping
the cold out. A good nonconductor
of cold used in winter will keep out
the freezing temperature, and ice is
such a nonconduotor. Residents of
the perpetually frozen far North use
it for their houses and live comfort
ably within walls of ioc.
Cars are now made for the protec-
tion of their contents from cold by
using ice in winter. They are double
lined with four galvanized iron cylin-
ders at eaoE end. These cylinders
are filed with ice in winter. AS is
well known, ice is normally at tenn
perature Of 80 degrees Fahrenheit and
changes it's temperature very slowly
that is, it is bad conductor of heat
end cold. Therefore, when zero
weather prevails without, the oylin-
ders Of relatively warmer ice prevent
the escape of heat and 80 maintain the
temperature within the car.
Without the cylinders the same
effect is produced in very simple in
expensive manner. The Ger is simply
clothed in ice. In zero weather q
stream Of water.is thrown on it, and as
it freezes the vehicle is coated with a
nonconducting material that retains
the temperature of its interior.
With the cylinders the process is
simply reversed in summer, as they
are filed with ice and salt to take up
the heat and keep the car cool.

GAVIN'S REFORMATION PROVES
TO BE OF SHORT DURATION

Denver, June 1S.-Charles Gavin,
who has record as a safe blower
and professed repentance and religion,
has fallen by the wayside. He reached
Denver last Thursday from Kiown, Ell
bert county. where he was tried on The
charge of blowing the safe at Elizabeth
last October. He announced to mis-
friends that he had reformed. He said
he had become Christian and that he
Intended to lead . pious life. He
added that he was going to try and get
his son John out of Jail at San Diego,
California. The boy was very bright,
he said. and he had received assurance
from his friends that as soon as he
was released from the prison he would
take course in the school Of mines
at Golden, Colorado. The safe blower
then declared he was going to try and
bring influence to bear to have his
other son, Charles. released from the
penitentiary at Canon City. where he
is serving a term for robbery.
In Kiowa n: his trial Gavin was de-
Tended by n lawyer sent to represent
him by tile women Of Colorado Springs
who had become interested in him
while he was serving n sentence in
jail there. His two companions, Frank
Sherwood and John Connor, were con-
victed, but Gavin went free.
As soon as he reached Denver Gavin
visited his wife who lives at No. GOO
Wazee street. Later he reported at the
police station, where. he informed The
officials that they need not watch him
as he had quit drink and become a
Christian through the kindly influence
Of women Of Colorado Springs.
All went well for three days. Gavin
maintained himself in a Christian-like
manner until last Sunday. Notwith-

Hague Arb,tr.t,on Court.

Berlin, June 15-F. w. Hollis, United
States member OF The Hague arbitra-
ton court during an interview said
that The Hague Arbitration Court had
only just been organized by the ap-
pointment of the last of the fifty-flve
judges, but several international ques-
tions are already before the court. The
Trlnsvaal question was certainly not
one of these, because The Hague peace
conference had decided that the Boer
states We're not sovereign states.
The court will not be in permanent
session, but will only act when suit
able questions are presented to 1t, when
the whole court will select bench to
adjudicate each question.
Mr.. Hollis said both Count Won Bue-
low and Baron Won Richthofen, foreign
minister, has received him in the most
kindly manner, sharing his belief that
The Hague court was, like the Magma
Charta, an agreement around which
future international law will crystal
lie. Mr.. Hollis believes that the EN-
peror, the German government and the
German people are now sincerely In
favor Of The Hague Arbitration Court

ly belong there Mr.. Hollis thinks this

The Midland Railway Company of
England has administered cold
douche to our pride Of industrial con-
quest by announcing that the Ameri-
can locomotives tested by the road
have cost from 20 to 25 per cent more
than the British in fuel, so per cent
more in oil, and so per cent more in
repairs Against these fatal defects
are to be counted only the trifiing on
sets that the American locomotives
were delivered in a few months IN
stead Of in three years and that thear
r ice was less than that OF the Brit
6h by $1,000 apiece. 1t b explained
that in American railroad practice en-
gines are made to be worked to death
and thrown on the scrap heap. Eng
lish locomotives are expected to become
heirlooms. But there is probably
Aonething more than that behind the
Midland's figures. In all neutral mar
kets the American machines give per-
feet satisfaction and are crowding the
English out. That Is the case even
on the state railroads OF British colo
nies. Before our manufacturers ad-
NIT that their products are failures
on English roads they would probably
like to see them tested by American
engineers and firemen.

MORMON SETTLERS
WORK IN WYOMING

Cody, wyo., June -S.-The Mormons

their canal on the Shoshone river,
above here, and the immense irrigation
ditch will be completed by October list.
From one of the engineers in charge
of the project it is learned that 500

canal, and upwards of $4,000 will be
expended in the completion of the
work ..
At one point tunnel 800 feet long
is being constructed through high
hill to conduct the water to a fertile
tract of bench lands on the east side
of the divide. About 500 feet Of the
tunnel has already been completed.
The colony of 1.OG0 NIormons that
settled on the Shoshone last spring,
being the first of number of
movements of church people from
Utah and Idaho to tie Big Horn basin

CHINESE ORGANIZE
To FIGHT EXCLUSION

New York, June 1.-THE Tribune
says:
The Chinese in the United States are
preparing for an organized fight to OBJ
tain the absolute repeal of the Geary
exclusion act at the coming session OF
Congress. The movement was started
here this week, and It Is expected to
spread rapidly to Philadelphia, Chi
cago, Portland. Seattle. San Francisco
and other cities having large Chinese
populations. .ses
A powerful organization has been ef.
fected among the Chinese merchants
of this city. Within the next two
weeks every one of the 1900 Chinese
here will be asked to sign a carefully
prepared memorial to the United
States government asking that the eN-
clusion act be repealed. The memorial
will protest in the strongest possible
terms against having the act extended
for twenty years from the date Of its
expiration in 1902. 1t will be forward
ed to the government. along with a
similar memorial prepared in other
cities. through WI Ting Fang, Chi
nese minister at Washington.
An effort will also be made to OBJ
tain the support of thousands of Amer
leans whom the Chinese believe are op-
posed to the exclusion act The Chi
nese realize the handicap which is
placed on the movement through their
lack of suffrage.
Their strongest hope OF eventual sue
cess lies In WI Ting Fang's influence.
They say that it was on his advice
that they organized for the struggle
They depend largely on his personal
popularity to get them fighting sup
porters in the Senate and House.
The memorial to Congress will de-
mand the absolute repeal of the ex-
clusicn act on the grounds of fair play
and as sort of reciprocity for the
opening Of Chinese ports. Commercial
benefits which America would derive
from granting free communication
with the Chinese will be point
strongly pressed.
