of one of the latter.
The only explanation of the Pc
culiar rupture which seems apph-
cable, says Scientific American, is'
that it must have occurred from the
inward pressure of the air when the
boiler had cooled sufficiently to form
a vacuum. The appearance would in
dictate that the scale had served to-
help Withstand the steam pressure
while against that from the outside It
offered little or no resistance.
The circumstances support this
theory as to the cause, in that the
boiler was last fired on very cold
evening, cooled on rather more
quickly than usual, and was found
the next morning, to leak freely.

A MECHANICAL ICE HOUSE.

seems to have been successful, large
barn being filed with practically one
solid cake of ice.
The process of freezing ice in this
way is as follows: A large ice house
is built with two of the opposite walls
hinged, allowing them to be opened
by folding up during cold weather,
and closed during milder weather,
thus preventing the ice from melting.
To begin operations number of
strings are suspended from the raft
ers at distances of two or three feet
apart. The strings hang down and
touch the floor, as shown In Fig. 1,
and the first cold night they are
sprayed with water, which forms large
icicles reaching from the floor to the
top, as shown in Fig. 2. A quantity
of water is then flowed into the ice
house, as shown in Fig. 8, and allowed
to freeze.
When the ice is one inch thick the
water is pumped from underneath II
and flowed on top, as shown in Fig. A.
When the upper layer of water has
frozen one inch the remaining water
is again pumped above the ice, leav
ing an inch as before and adding
enough extra water to compensate fol
the inch that is left each time. This
makes three surfaces exposed to the
weather, as shown in Fig. 5. This
