coling water and seventy per cent Of
motive power as compared with any
other freezing machine known.
The Germans have also new
freezing device especially adopted to
household and field hospital use. 1t
is very simple, and could be manufac.
tured for about one dollar. 1t con-
sists merely of double wall tin yes
sci with capaciey of FIVE gallons.
The hollow space between the two
walls is about an inch across. By the
gradual admission of carbonic acid
into this hollow space through an
opening at the bottom, and from
there to the vessel proper through a
cross arm tube, it IS claimed that
water may be converted into ice in
the space of sixty seconds, and that
meats, fruits, and beverages, such as
beer or wine, may be chilled or froz-
en- in few seconds This effect is
produced by the sudden great reduc-
ton OF temperature caused by the
rapir expansion OF the carbonic acid,
which is admitted from an ordinary
carbonic acid reservoir Technical

come in, the first importan consigu-

Noday from The Dalles. For Oregon
the cherry season proper will soon
open next week. then for a period OF
several weeks cherries will be one OF
the most important features OF the
fruit market
Cherry shipments from California
to this market came practically to an
end week ago, since which time the
local trade has been supplied gener-
ally with poor to medium grades OF
fruit from various sections of the
state, for the most part, however, as
good fruit as that which came from
farther south With other fruits, the
first offerings Of which were under
grade, the cherry trade has SO far
been slow, but with fancy fruit COM

soon, and the strawberry crop dis

week, but the demand was not strong
enough in any line to make an active
market, and, though occasional sales

Geese are very slow at l24 to ID cents.

ICE MADE IN HOME KITCHEN

The problem OF producing ice in
small quantities quickly and cheaply
has APPARENTLY been solved by Frencl,
inventor, who has perfected a ma
chine which is cheap, simple Of opera
tion, practically everlasting, and thor
oughly practical. 1t may be operat-
ed by belt connected with a steam
engine, by small electric motor, or
b land cranks,
The invention is rotative com
preston and automatic machine, reg
ulating itself to all speeds, whatever
may be the temperature OF the con
dersing water used, The important
feature is cylinder in which the
chemicals are sealed-the latter not
requiring renewal and lasting as long
as the machine itself-and which, re.
voking in water, produces the ice. 1t
can also produce cold air
The machine has no joint piece, no
pressure gauge, no suction or regulat-
ing valve, 1t will work in water

6eys' Fsrvent Prayer wes Answered
In the Nick OF Tine.

story Of his five-year-oid son Bobby.

the youngster one day managed to
turn on both faucets In the bathtub
to see what would happen. 1t CHANGED
that the stopper was In place. and the
tub rapidly filled up. to the great de-
light OF Bobby. Finally, however. the
tub became SO full that It threatened
to overflow on to the floor. and Bobby,
having proper respect for tho mater
nal slipper. became frightened and
tried vainly to turn OF the water. Be
Ing unable to, for some reason. he
gazed tearfully at the ever-rising Hood.
and then. mindful both Of his religious
training and tho occasional visits OF
the plumber. he plunged down on his
knees. and his elder sister, who hap.
pened to DO passing Mt the moment,
heard him exclaim. fervently:
20, Lord. please stop this water
running! And. o. Lord, II you can't
do Ii. please send somebody that cant"
His prayer was answered. for his
sister rose to the occasion and turned
on the water and temporarily saved
Bobby from the much-feared slipper.
