matte gentleman. beloved by all officers
and men who know him. He is a man
who possesses the rare faculty of being
both an excellent administrator and fine
orator. He is man who exerts tremen-
dous influence over Americans and Euro
peans and succeeds in raising all the
funds necessary for carrying out his
projects. He is enthusiastic about his
work In the islands and has rejected
many advantageous and profitable offers
to fill American pulpits."
Mr.. White of the staff OF Col Edwards,
bureau Of insular affairs. who was per-
sonally acquainted with the bishop in
Manila. thus expresses himself:

ly expresses them, but. like every truly
great person. he Is modest in his bearing
and does not boast Of his attainments"
Tribute From Gen. Whipp1e.
Gen. Whipple, paymaster general. War
Department. and the son of the late
Bishop William Whipple OF Minnesota,
says:
II regard Bishop Brent as most
broad-minded gentleman. always on the
friendiest and most excellent terms with
the ministers Of the other denominations
in the Philippine Islands. He weighs
carefully what others may say, but OBJ
serves men and affairs with his own eyes
and ears and then reaches his own inde-
pendent conclusions"
Rev. w. E. De Vries, rector of ST.
Marks Pro-Cathedral, to whom The Star
is indebted for many personal remints-
cences Of Bishop Brent's career, says:
zone of Bishop Brents marked traits
has been his marvellous success In diff
ficult work of all sorts. His record In
the United States has been largely one
OF brilliant work among the slums OF
large cities, as, for example, in the most
congested and hopeless tenement districts
of Buffalo and Boston. Afterward, when
transferred to the Philippines, he stead
lily refrained from PROSECUTING among
those Filipinos who had already been
converted to Christianity by Catholic
missionaries under the old Spanish re-
CINE. but maintained that there was an
abundant and appropriate field Of activity
by addressing himself to work among the
Americans and by spreading the light Of
the gospel and Scriptures among the
heather tribes.

in Washington was February 2, of the
present year, when, with Bishop Satter-
meeting in Convention Hall, d. A R.
Three days later he sailed for Manila.
and on his way to the. Philippines he
stopped over In England and preached an
impressive sermon before the University
of Cambridge. 1t is a tragic coincidence
that twenty days after DR.. Brent left

NETY tons Of ice are con-
sumed every hour in the day

sweltering days when the mer-

Two thousand one hundred and sixty
tons OF ice are melted between one sun
rise and another; or. in other words. one
and one-half tons are required each min

In order to manufacture this huge
amount of solidifed GOODNESS every day
10000 gallons of the purest water are
required, and in turning 1t into Ice many
tons Of fuel are used to obtain the nee

and then, again, most of the deliveries
take place in the morning. and time can
be saved by loading the ice direct from
the tanks to the wagons.
The ice wagons must be all loaded and
ready to leave the sheds by or o'clock
in the morning. 1t takes an hour to put
the horses in condition and load the heavy
blocks on the wagons before they are
ready to start on their various routes.

their factories to the consumers, while
there are about one-third of that number

the post Office and OF the same dimen-

ground end to end they would make a
continuous path of ice from the District
line at the head Of Brightwood avenue. to
the wharves at the foot of 7th street.
Process Of Manufacture.
BY far the greater proportion Of ice
used In Washington is made from distilled
water. This shows a great change from
the conditions of several years ago, when
all Of the ice was of the natural kind
and the manufactured article was looked
upon with suspicion.
1t Is likely that more than three-quar-
tiers Of the ice used in the District is
manufactured, and in order that it may
be crystal clear it 10 necessary to use dis
titled water.
The method of manufacturing these
cakes of Ice Is an interesting process.
Pipes conduct the distilled water into
zinc tanks. holding about forty gallons.
The tanks filed. they are let down into
gaseous state. is injected into the mix
ture.
The ammonia has the effect of causing
the temperature of both liquids to fall to
approximately ten degrees above Zero
This causes the water to freeze, while
the brine. being of higher specific grav-
ity. remains in a liquid state. The tanks
are allowed to remain in the mixture for
nearly half hour, after which they are
drawn out and the block of Ice, which
has taken the place of the water, is sent
