One part, heretically closed, contains

motor, and makes "A pounds of ice an
hour. One 40x60 inches, with four
horsepower, makes 220 pounds an
hour. The principal feature of the
machine is that the ice is produced
without the aid of any ingredients or
preparations of any kind. Whatever
requisite is needed for its operation
is supplied at the time of its manu-.
facture. Once the machine is delivered
1t produces ice as long as the metal
work used in it's construction holds
out, and this is of such character
as to last many years.

Neoro's Clever Invention.

A negro of st. Joseph, Mo-, an
nounces that he has solved the prob
lem of producing heat and power with
out combustion. Charles S. l.. Baker
is the inventors name. He has hot
water heater in operation, having
worked for twenty-three years to com.
plete it.
BY means of friction heat Is con.
veyed into an air or water chamber
whence the hot air, hot water, or
steam is conveyed, by means of or
binary pipes and radiators, to the
place where it is to be used.
There are two complete systems, one
of hot water radiation and the other
Of steam radiation, now connected
with this one heater, and the heater
can be instantly changed from a hot
water boiler to steam boiler. With
the water in the boiler and the entire
hot water heating plant cold, 1t is
possible to heat radiators in less than
one-half the time that hot water radia-
tors can be heated by any other known
piOCcSo.
With the water in the boiler and all
the steam radiators cold, it is possible
to heat steam radiators and show ten
pounds pressure on the steam gauge in
less than one-half the time that it can
be done by any other process.
After the steam gauge begins to
show pressure the steam pressure
rises at the rate of pound a minute.
This is a remarkable performance.
After the steam has reached the de-
sired pressure its further rise is au.
tomatically prevented.
This heater may be used for produc-
ing heat or power. The same heater
may be used for either low pressure
or high pressure steam. The limita-
lions which apply to ordinary steam
boilers are not applicable to the fric-
ton heater

"a neighbor Of mine a great coffee

She was not able to do her work and

To Improve Coffee Culture.

The experts of the Agricultural de-

plant, the habitat of which is the

Grants of Land to Settlers.
The returns of the Interior Depart
ment show that the movement OF
American farmers northward to Can
ada is each month affecting larger
areas of the United States. Time was,
says the Winnipeg Free Press, when
the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa fur
nished the Dominion with the main
bulk Of it's American contingent. Last
year, however, forty-four states and
districts were represented In the Of
fetal statement as to the former resi-
dence of Americans who had home
steaded in Canada. The Dakotas still
head the list, with 1905 entries, Min
nesota being a close second with 1887,
but with the exception OF Alabama
and Mississippi and Delaware every
state in the Union supplied settlers
Who in order to secure farms In the
fertile prairie country of Canada. be-
came citizens of and took the oath OF
allegiance to, the Dominion. Last
year no less than 11,S41 Americans
entered for homestead lands in Can
ada.
From the Gulf to the Boundary,
and from ocean to ocean, the trek to
the Dominion goes on. Not only the
wheatgrowers of the central Missis-
sippi valley, but the ranchers Of Texas
and New Mexico, and the cultivators
of the comparatively virgin soil of
Oklahoma, are pouring towards the
productive vacant lands of the Cana
dian Northwest. 1t is no tentative,
half-hearted departure for an alien
country that is manifested in this
exodus; it has become almost rush
to secure possession of land which 1t
is feared by those imperfectly ac-
quainted with the vast area Of Can
ada's vacant lands, may all be acquir-
ed before they arrive. There is no
element of speculation or experiment
in the migration. The settlers have
full information respecting the soil,
wealth, the farming methods, the
laws, taxation and system of govern
ment of the country to which they
are moving, and they realize that the
opportunities offered in Canada are in
every respect better and greater than
those they have enjoyed in the land
they are leaving.
Canada can we'll afford to welcome
cordially every american farmer COM
ing to the Dominion. There is no
question but that these immigrants
make the most desirable settlers OBJ
tainable for the development Of the
prairie portion or the Dominion. Full
information can be had from any au-
thorized Canadian government agent
whose address will be found else
where in this paper.

Durability of LIQUID Air.

An experiment for the purpose of
testing the durability of liquid air has
been made between Berlin and &C.
neva. One morning two quarts of
liquid air were delivered to the rail-
road at Berlin, packed in a manner
specially adapted for this purpose, for
transportation to Geneva. The ship
ment arrived in Geneva in five days,
and after an additional delay of half
a day it was delivered to the chemical
laboratory of the University Of &C.
neva. The glass vessel in which the
liquid air was sent still contained one
fourth of quart thereof, which was
