 Unless he fell upon the knife," said Holmes.
 Exactly. The idea crossed my mind But we found the knife some feet away from the body, so that seems impossible. Then. of, course, there are the mans own dying words. And, finally, there was this very i'm portant piece of evidence which was found clasped in the dead mans right hand."

economy in summer, taking the place
Of the winter problem of economic
consumption of coal. When it is re.
membered that water from melting
ice has the same temperature as the
ice itself, although a large amount of
heat has been absorbed in changing
the physical form of the vapor, it will
be seen that this water, which is just
at the freezing point, is a good re-
~frigerating medium itself, and should
be utilized. The difficulty is that all
refrigerator designs disregard this
fact, and allow the cold water, derived
from the melting of the ice, to flow
away to a drain or waste pipe. BY
equipping the refrigerator compart-
ment with a reservoir presenting a
large surface area, and collecting the
drip therein, the melting of ice is re-
duced to a minimum, the water alb
sorbing a large amount of heat that
would otherwise be consumed in trans.
forming the ice into water. Means,
Of course, should be provided to carry
the cold water to the bottom of the
reservoir and to permit the surplus
water to escape from the surface.
