Novel Uses of Ice.

government expert has devised a
novel method Of keeping a car or COM
partment comparatively warm In zero
weather; not by fire, but by the utili-
cation of ice, says the National Provi-
sioner, a well insulated car is fitted
each end with four galvanized iron cyl
inders reaching from the floor to the
top of the car. In summer these cylin-
ders are filed with ice and salt to
keep the car cool In winter they are
filed with Ice to keep the contents of
the car from freezing
Ice Is nominally at q temperature of
~ degrees Fahrenheit and is a sub
stance that changes temperature reluct-
antly, being poor conductor of heat
or cold. Consequently when zero
weather prevails outside the cylinders
OF relatively warm Ice prevent the es-
cape of heat, In other words they main
tain the temperature within the car.
Another method whereby ice Is en-
ployed for protection against cold con-
sists in throwing plentiful stream of
water on the car when the temperature
Is near zero point, which freezes at
once and forms q complete coat over
the car. The action of this Ice ia tho
same as in the case of the cylinders
filed with ice. A similar plan Is fire.

PUBLIC OPINION AND THE PRESS
BY Charles J. BOnanarfe

The press makes each community
acquainted with its neighbor And,
as we know other men better. we
recognize the more thoroughly and
readily their likeness to ourselves,
and, as a consequence, the universal
application OF underlying moral laws
amidst all diversities of national or
local custom or prejudice. 1t is the
exercise OF this common moral stand
ard which qualities the press for its
highest and most useful function.
