from the northwest, the congelatfon
begins before or about midnight and
continues to advance TIL morning,
when the thickest ice is formed. 1t is
often an inch thick, and sometimes the
whole contents OF the dish are frozen
compact.
The ice dishes present a large moist
external surface to the air currents,
producing rapid evaporation and a
lowering Of the temperature. The wa
ter which percolates through the po-
rous trays exposes so large a surface
to the breeze that it is promptly fro
zen. In addition to the evaporative
effect we also have the influence Of
heat insulation to fall back upon in
explaining the phenomenon.
The thick layer Of dry straw in the
ice beds forms a large surface which
is a poor conductor of heat. The heat
can penetrate but little way into It
during the day. SO soon as the sun
sets sets this large and powerfully ra-
dating surface is brought into action
and affects the water in the thin, po-
rous pans. themselves strong radiators.

The story Of 'Dr. Jelxyll and Mr.
Hyde" the powerful drama of which
viii be presented at the Lyceum Thea
tre the first half of next week by
Campbell Stratton. form erly a Shakes
pearian actor and his company, is
familiar to the greater class of theatre
goers. 1t runs as follows: "Dr.
Jekyll is a physician and an expert
chemist. In one Of his experiments he
discovers a potion which enables him
to transform himself into Mr. Hyde
a monster of depravity. BY it's use
he is also enabled to restore himself
to his original person Little by little
he yields to the influence of the drug
Jekyll at times becomes transformed
into Hyde without the drug. At last
the drug is exhausted. JelSyll cannot
supply its peculiar property which the
original potion possessed. For the last
time transformed against his will into
Mr.. Hyde, there is no escape, except
by suicide" The special scenic ef-
fects used in this production are said
ito be bewildering.
