ICE COATING FOR WARMTH
Fruit Cars Covered with Sheet Of
Frozen Water to Preserve
Contents.

The use Of ice for heating purposes
Is one Of the oddities Of our modern civ
IliEation- It often happens that train
carrying fruit from South America to
the northern states encounters a spell
Of cold weather en-route. II the tenn
perature goes below a certain point the
perishable merchandise will be ruined
But It has been ascertained that such q
misfortune may be prevented by cover
ing the fruit car with a coating Of ice
q thing easily accomplished by turning
hose upon 1t and allowing the water 70
freeze, until the whole vehicle Is enVei-
oped In q CLASSY and glittering blanket
II may, indeed, be appropriately
called blanket, inasmuch as II prevents
the radiation of heat from the interior Of
the car. The ice being good non-con-
ductor, the warmth Is retained, and the
fruit, or possibly 1t may be vegetables,
goes on its way unspOiled even by zero
weather.
Some trucks used for transporting
oranges are often fitted with 'ice
stoves" which, while useful during hot
weather as refrigerators, are filled with
Ice during the cold weather.

SAY SHERIDAN
ROCK WIGGLES
CAPTAIN CARTER EXPLORING
BARBER'S POINT-A LEGEND
THE FISHERMEN TELL.

Captain Carter of the U. s. S. Iro-
quois, this morning journeyed down
the railroad to BARRIERS Point on bust
ness connected with the survey of the
reef off that headland, upon which the
transport Sheridan struck several
months ago
The Iroquois commander is making
observations from the shore, the Iro-
quois having spent two days off the
point last week as exclusively report
ed in The star yesterday, locating, ac-
cording to unofficial report, the rock
upon which the transport Sheridans
truck. The rock may be marked for
the observation of mariners.
At times, say fishermen who have
acquaintance with the waters there,
the rock appears to be higher than at
other times and without regard to
tides. There is a belief among these
men that the rock is a 'springing rock
that 1t rises and falls as the result of
the action of the sub-strata as it set
ties or punches up through the pres
sure of greater weights moving down
the slope from shore. 1t is not likely
that this enters into the calculations
of the survey but it is one of the
stories, half legend that the fishermen
love to tell.
