viii YOU tell how ice IS Manufactured, chemi-
Gals used and on? s. d.
The important chemical agent ordinar-
lily is anhydrous ammonia. which boils at
q degrees, Fahrenheit, below zero. To
make ice in cakes, the water to be frozen
is put in cans that are immersed in cold
brine. Coils within the brine contain the
ammonia, which it bOils. the resultant
evaporation absorbing heat from the
brine until the latter is cold enough to
cause the water in the cans 10 freeze.
The vapor of ammonia is afterward con-
verified to a liquid state to be used again
For making ice surfaces for Kinks the
cans are not used. but otherwise the pro-
cess is substantially the same.

Russia and Germany.

1t may or may not be true that Rus
sian intrigue had something to do with
the course pursued by the Chinese Gov
ernment in holding Prince Chun at
Basel until the Kaiser consented to
forego the kotowing and head-knock-
ing features of the expiatory ceremony.
II is charged in some quarters that the
Russian influence in China was used to
stiffen the backbone of the Court in the
matter, and that Ii and Ching in Pc
kin were assured that the st. Peters
burg Government would counsel EN-
peror Wilhelm to moderation with a
certainty OF success.
If anything of the kind has hap
pened, it will not tend to strengthen
the recently growing entente between
Germany and Russia, and it will have
failed of its evident object to secure for
China a reception of Prince Chun by
the Kaiser devoid of any incident of
humiliation. What occurred at Pots
dam will be gall and wormwood for the
evil and bloody minded Empress Dow
ager and Prince Tuan and her other
creatures; for the German Emperor did
nOt fnlnce WOFUS III MS reply 10 the let
ter of regret addressed TO him by
Kwang Hsu. and read at the audience
by Prince Chun. The Kaiser said: Il
readily believe your imperial brother
personally stood aloof from this crime
(the murder of Baron Won Ketteler),
and the subsequent acts of violence
against the inviolabIe legations and
peaceful foreigners. All the greater the
guilt resting on his advisers and Gov
ernment. The latter must not delude
themselves with the belief that they are
able to obtain atonement and pardon
for their guilt by the expiatory mission
alone. They will be judged by their fu-
ture conduct In accordance with the
law of nations"
II by the change in the programme
consented TO by the Berlin Government,
Prince Chun expected TO save his face,
he must have been badly disappointed.
He was received at Potsdam without
honors In the ante-room his suite
were halted and left standing until his
return from the audience. The Kaiser

some good points, and finally. the great
grandchildren of those who built the
colonial house were reduced to building
modern imitation of it to replace what
their forebears tore down in the effort
to conform to fashion.
Another thing which should govern
modern architecture is suitability to
the population. Adaptations of foreign
styles do not fit the plain American.
Some of the types of houses evolved
two hundred years ago, in the effort to
fit English styles TO American condi-
tions. are not at all bad, and they suit
the native American much better than
house borrowed intact from England,
France, or Germany. 1t is ridiculous to
put an English castle or a Swiss chalet
in the middle Of a New Jersey land
scape. 1t is a sham, and shams are in

received him sitting, and remained in
that posture until the Chinese envoy
retired. Both on entering and leaving
he had to bow repeatedly 20 the head
of the outraged Teutonic Empire. APP
parently his attendants were fright
ened and rather expected to see Chun
come out without any head; but VIII
helms attitude was officially severe to-
ward China and not personally so to
Chun. whom he afterward entertained
at tea.
1t was a notable event, and one that
will never be forgotten in the Celestial
Kingdom. The murderous Empress
Dowager by this time realizes that
there is one ruler in Christendom who
is not afraid to express the opinion of
her and her encourage that all people
in civilized countries entertain.
The Washington times., 1901-09-06
The President n. n Buffalo.

Mr.. Mckinley made one of his neat
and appropriate addresses at the Pan
American Exposition grounds yester-
day, the occasion being President s
Day. His remarks. as usual. were
CHEEKY and hopeful of his kind and his
country. Speaking of modern inven-
tions and progress, he observed that
prices are fixed with mathematical
precision by supply and demand" And
so they are when not otherwise arbi-
trarily determined by the trusts in pur-
suance of the power they have to die
tate them through the operation of the
Dingley tariff law.
The President INDUCED in another
characteristic utterance which is
worthy of comment. He was referring
to the Chinese atrocities, and the war
which was never acknowledged to be
one He said: we shall never forget
the days Of anxiety, waiting. and sus-
pense when no information was permit
ted TO be sent from Pekin, and the
diplomatic representatives, of the ma
tions in China. cut off from all COM
munication, inside and outside of the
walled capital. were surrounded by an
angry and misguided mob that threat
ened their lives" We admire the for
giving spirit toward the Chinese Gov
ernment with which Mr.. Mckinley
seems imbued. No doubt it makes him
forget that the siege of the legations
was ordered by the Empress Dowager
and prosecuted by her generals and
regular troops.

III II Is important that we discard BIZ
metailism with all possible emphasis 1t
is important because II Is necessary that
the people know exactly where we stand.
And in order that we may know where
we stand when We have discarded our
former position it is important that we
espouse the single gold standard. The
Democratic party cannot get in that en-
trance without being seen. although IL Is
the purpose of the Gold Democrats to do
that very thing. They want to discard
plmetailism; they want to cut the Demo-
cratic party completely asunder from the
ties that have bound II to the money of
the Constitution, At the same time they
nave built private entrance to the gold
question and they are bending every en-
ergy to coax the Democratic party
through that entrance.
IF 1t Is true that the silver idea must
be clung to or 1t must be discarded II
II Is true that Ii Is not possible to let
loose and hold on at the same time then
II is just as important that when we dis
card one position and let loose of one
principle We take definite and distinct
stand on the money question. the impor-
tance of which remains undisrurbed by

spects higher degree of civilization than
that of the present Pueblo Indians has
just been established by DR.. Walter
Hough. of the Smithsonian Institution, of
Washington. .
DR.. Hough has just completed excava-

and graves of former inhabitants, which
are probably LOCO years old. He started
on his expedition last April with a de-
termination to ascertain whether the
petrified forest had ever been inhabited
few years ago DR.. Hough and Dr.
Fewkes. an authority on the Pueblo In
dians, saw what they thought were ruins
of camps in the forest. DR.. Hough, speak
ing of the discovery, said:
1T has been established beyond all
doubt that several distinct and different
peoples have dwelt in the now petrified

tional Convention. might as we'll cem-
pose their minds to the contemplation
of a much more important eventuality
If they were as well instructed in the
ways of the world, especially of the
wicked world of our day and genera
ton. some things which have happened
since the military occupation of Cuba,
and which mean a good deal, would not
have escaped their attention.
We refer to American investments in
sugar and tobacco lands, on scale
which bids fair to place the available
area for the production of both COM
modities in the grasp of the Sugar and
Tobacco Trusts and their friends with
in a very short time. From month to
month for the past year and a half or
two years, sugar and tobacco estates
have been picked up until now they are
getting scarce and hard 10 find in old
hands. Only the other day a sugar
property of siXty-fve thousand acres,
with a modern plant attached, and
capacity of fifty million pounds of raw
sugar per year, was absorbed by a New
York syndicate at a reported price of
between two and half and three mill
lion dollars.
Our Cuban friends must be trifie
dense If they imagine that these exten-
sive and even sweeping purchases have
been made with any idea on the part of
the investors that the property and in
terests acquired are to be subject to
the vicissitudes of government under an
irresponsible Latin-American Republic,
or under a protectorate which shall

railway investments of American trust

ciuded that annexation, although il
has been postponed. cannot be pre-

alton sentiment in Congress; strong
enough, perhaps before long to add Gu
