What Women Have Done,


Although the women Of today are not
to sit on borough councils-for the present,
at least-in former times they have occu-
pied even more important Offices. Centu-
the fair sex certainly possessed political
equality with men. Gurdon, for instance,
in his Antiquities OF Parliament" records
the fact that ladies sat in council with
the Saxon Witas. In Wighfried's great
council at Becconceld, In the year t04, the
abbesses sat and deliberated, and five of
them signed DEGREES Of that council, along
with the king, bishops and mobiles. King
Edgar's charter to the Abbey of Crowland
in 961 was signed by women. In the reigns
of Henry III and Edward l four abbasses
were summoned to parliament, while in
that of Edward III no less than ten peer
esses received writs to take their seats.
Nor are instances of women bearing the
offices of sheriffs and justices wanting
Margaret, Countess of Thanet, held the
Shrieyalty of WeStmoreland and Cumber-
land in the seventeenth century. Among
the Harleian manuscripts mention is made
of Margaret, Countess of Richmond, 10Th
er to Henry VII, as justice of the peace
also that lady named Bartlett was made
justice of the peace in Worcestershire by
Queen Mary. In Sussex a lady named
Rouse sat on the bench at assizes and ses-
sions among the other justices and was
grded with sword. In Coke's Little
Countess of Pembroke. served the Office Of
high sheriff of Westmoreland, and at the
assizes at Appleby sat in person with the
Judges on the bench"

More Than Two Thousand Tons Of
Ice Used Daily.
BULK OF IT BROUGHT FROM MAINE
An Industry That is Growing All
the Time.
THE WINTERS HAIRY EST

Written for The Evening Star.
VIII 1t surprise you to know that be-
tween S11 600 and S12 600 is spent for ice
on every hot day in Washington, and that
it takes 1900 tons of this crystal harvest
daily predictions of the weather bureau?
Yet such are the facts.
The task of bringing this vast quantity
of condensed cold from the north and dis
tributing 1t in a climate which makes con-
slant warfare on its very existence is SO
perfectly performed that 1t has become a
thing for granted, and very few of us real
ly know the cares of the proyerbial ice man
whom we are wont to envy. AS the recent
ice famine in this city demonstrated. the
supply is by no means limitless. and there
fogs Gains or storms, which might at any
time in any summer throw the trade from
it's beaten path, or temporarily cut off the
supply completely.
Although there are several artificial ice
plants in Washington, their summer out
put is not 1.-THE of what Is needed, and
we turn as do the inhabitants of all the
Kennebec and Penobscot rivers of Maine
for the bulk of our supply.
To follow a cube of Kennebec Ice from
the time it first receives attention at the
hand of man until it is landed in our ice
chest at 40 cents hundred pounds is d
most interesting proceeding.
The making and harvesting of ice has
become one of the important Industries of
tn" country. and it has. like all other in
dustries, shown progression, both in the
financing of companies-for We have the
ice trust-and in mechanical devices and

labor-saving methods in gathering and dis
tributing this winter harvest.
The ice industry is distinctively an Amer
lean enterprise. for although the ancient
Greeks and Romans the medieval Italians
and the modern French iced their wines
their champagnes and many Of their dainty
foods sometimes by means of snow and
sometimes by crude. artificial methods 1t
was not until the beginning of the nine
teenth century that Ice became an article
of commerce While America has been
the most prolific field Of supply, she has
also led in the demand
An American Industry.
To Frederick Tudor. a Boston merchant
belongs the honor Of being the father OF
the American natural Ice industry In 1905
he shipped a cargo of ice obtained from a
pond in Lynn. Mass, to Martinique West
Indies. where yellow fever was raging at
the time. Although Mr.. Tudor lost s4, 800
on this shipment, he was not daunted by
the failure. and two years later, despite
opposition and ridicule, he dispatched an
other cargo to Havana This shipment was
financial success. and Mr.. Tudor rapidly
developed an ice business with the West
miles, Charleston. New Orleans and Savan-
nah. that made for him large fortune.
In 1888 he sent several ship loads to Rio de
Janeiro and Calcutta, where the trade was
also at once established Before this the
ice resources of Boston and vicinity had
become inadequate, and in 1925 the Kenne-
bee and Penobscot rivers were laid under
tribute.
During the war period OF 81 to 65 the
government was a most liberal buyer of ice
both as TO price and quantity. As high as
81 ton was paid during this period, and
several ice fortunes were made.
After Mr.. Tudor had demonstrated the
possibilities OF the business other Boston
merchants entered IT. and the export trade
was made to flourish. while the domestic
trade has never ceased growing. The in
vention and perfection of ice-making ma
chinery has practically put an end to the
expectation OF natural Ice. But when 1t Is
considered that New York city alone con-
sumes 100000 tons annually. and that
most Of this Ice Is the natural product
from the north II can readily be seen that
the Ice business still hourishes In this
country.
ReapinE the lee Harvest.
The work Of reaping the ice harvest
really begins, like that of the farmer.
with the preparation OF the field. An acre
of Reproducing water will yield 1000 tons
of Ice In a year. and the preliminary work
Is to make this crop good In quality.
The water Is carefully watched just as

the proper apparatus to use liquid air can
be heated with it in winter: cooled with
1t in summer; as well as lighted and sup
piled with motive power for the elevator
o. other purposes. A cool draught of pure
air at a temperature of about 40 degrees
below zero can be sent into a guests
room on a hot night and any temperature
desired can be obtained.
In manufa curing liquid air there Is en-
ployed a series of air compresSers in this
instance, four. The air is taken into the
first ONE at the rate of fifty cubic feet per
minute. 1t Is compressed to fifteen pounds
pressure per inch. In the process Of being
compressed the air is made hot. and the
next step is to pass it through a tank
which is surrounded by a water jacket.
This takes the heat out of it. when it is
ready for the next compression, and cool
ing. The last compressor brings it to
pressure of 800 pounds. 1t is then put
through an ordinary ammonia machine
and its temperature reduced to Zero The
air is now ready to go to the liquefier, and
this process is where the ingenuity of the
invention is shown. To compress air heats
1t, but to allow it to expand cools it. and
1t is on this principle that the liquefier
runs. This apparatus is simply cOllac-
ton of 300 copper tubes coiled side by side
and all opening into a common chamber at
each end, but each also has connection
with the supply pipe. The high-pressure
air is turned into every alternate tube at
the upper chamber enough is allowed to
expand to bring the 500 pressure down to
300 pounds. In this expansion, the air,
which at the high pressure had a tempera-
ture of Zero is made much colder This
colder air is allowed to enter the vacant
coils, lying adjacent to the ones that are
filled. and passes to the chamber at the
bottom. At the same time it cools The
high-pressure air still more by the touch
ing of the pipes AT the lower chamber
still more high-pressure air Is allowed to
expand. and by this time the temperature
has reached the liauefying point, $50 de-
grees below zero. The liquid air Is drawn
off through a valve at the rate of two gall
Ions minute. Like electricity, the possi-
bilities of liquid air are far from being
known. but that it Is the coming factor in
the problem of fighting the intense heat Of
summer there can be no doubt

city is mapped out into districts and each
district is covered by a wagon. These
wagons are In turn supplied by q wharf
wagon. All told. there are about ooo teams
daily employed in ice distribution. Many
private ice routes have been established py
hucksters, who buy at the wharf at wnoie-
sale. AS early as o'clock every morning
these wagons gather at the wharyes ana
supply stations to take on their hrst loao.
and from that time up to nearly noon the
wholesale business is most brisk.
Ice Machines.
Each brewery In the city has an ice
plant of sufficient capacity to keep its
beer cool in each saloon in which 1t Is sold.
This ice does not come in competition with
the retail trade and is generally sold at
cost. There is considerable difference OF
opinion as to what 1t really does cost to
make ton of ice with an Ice machine.
The state of the weather has decided e.
feet on the capacity of an Ice plant; ana
while the machine-made product is sufft-
cient to supply the whole city in the win
ter, in summer the ice forms very much
slower and the demand is very much
greater. The estimates of cost of machine
made ice run from IS cents to $1.I5 a ton.
Although the first successful ice machines
were operated with ether and brine as the
cooling ingredients. most of the plants now
in use employ ammonia Cor this purpose.
Though varying in structure, the ammonia
ice machine works on substantially this
principle: A strong iron vessel IS filled
with a concentrated solution of ammonia.
so placed that heat can be applied to it.
A smaller iron vessel containing ammonial
gas is SO placed that it can be immersed
in water. A tube connects the two vessels
and when heat is applied to the larger a
curious alienation Of states is brought
about in the ammonia: first liquid, then
gaseous, then liquid again and SO on, and
each process Of vaporizing freezes some
of the water in which the smaller vessel
Is Immersed.
Liquid Air.

science, and it is coming to Washington
soon. Liquid air is the new factor. This
peculiar substance has a temperature or

lions make Its manufacture for CONNER
cial purposes possible.
plant is now being established in this
city at a cost of $4,000 which. when in
operation. will make a gallon Of liquid air
every half minute.
The liquid air factory is located at the
foot of 7th street In the old cable power
house. 1t Is the intention to have 1t In
operation by September 1. How liquid air
is to be made in this plant and how 1t is
to be used will astound the ice man and
cause him sorrow.

DEALS ON A LARGE SCALE

New York, January 23.-The stock mar ket demonstrated quite conclusively it's professional character today It was dis tinctively traders market.
 The trading was done by powerful specu- lators with ample resources, the transac- tions were on very large scale, and the price movement was much wider than in an ordinary traders market but the method of operations and the net result were much the same.
 scrutinty of the. net changes for the day will show that except in few stocks they are small and pretty we'll mixed be- tween gains and losses. Yet at one time the whole list was at a level well over yes terday's final prices. The realizing move- ments in the last half hour was sufficient to wipe out almost the earlier advances and the only slight rallies saved the mar ket of showing net losses than is actually the cause.
 Buying by room shorts to cover was largely responsible for the final rally The concentrated nature of the buying and the identity of the brokers by whom it was done, especially in the stocks which were picked out for the greatest show of strength were warrants for the continua- tion that the speculative leadership were Tn the hands of the coterie which made a dem onstrative change from the bear to the bull side of the market during the course of Mondays trading. The selling during the last hour was also of very concentrated character but was by different brokers from those who executed the early buying orders. The deduction that large specula- tive profit taking was being made is not a strained one.
 With the exception of the reaction in Wabash bonds the market for bonds was generally firm. Total sales, par value, S4.- SOO,OO0. United States 3s advanced A per cent on the last call.

 New Orleans, Jan. 23.-The market opene- ed quiet with prices to 2 points lower, and ruled easier, with a downward tendency in the earlier hours of the session, till March contracts sold at 919, the lowest of the day.
 The news that several thousand January notices were issued in New York and freely circulating there for some time, gave very. weak outlook. Later when it was wired that all notices were stopped, both markets quickly responded to the better influence, and rapid advance followed, marking an extreme improvement of some s points. Shorts continued very timid and seek cover quickly on any tendency of an upward turn to the market and the advance was princf- pally attributable to this circumstance. Speculative buying is very limited for the time being.
