The production of artificial cold has
during the last Is years, become quite
an important industry. Freezing ma

requisites Of civilized life.
The refrigeration Of perishab'e ar

In the cold air freezing machines
now employed on board ships for the
transport OF meat from Australia. New

Another interesting application OF
cooling by means of solutions which
have very low freezing point has
lately been made in mines. One of
the greatest difficulties which can
occur In the operation of sinking =
shaft Is that presented by stratum
Of sand saturated with water. In
more than, one case this difficulty has
been overcome by freezing the sand
and water into a firm mass through
which the shaft can then be easily
bored as into solid rock.

u.vfIY. NORk Done
N Reconstruction

LAST winter the San Pedro rail-
road which crosses Southern Ne
vada from the Utah line to the
extreme south Of the state had the
misfortune to be most wiped of
the face Of the earth with foods.
The road has been reconstructed
and a new high line is under way.
The railroads Of Nevada. while they
enter many kick. can't afford to
let 60 and won't. A Salt Lake
dispatch gives the following
regarding the work that is being
carried on in reconstruction:
The floods of December 31st and
January LIST last washed out nearly
100 miles of the track, making the
worst washout in the history of
railroading in the world. 1t was
the 9Th washout that the; company
had suffered in that district. and
many railroad and business men
said that the company would never
attempt to rebuild.
In this they were mistaken, for
within a month after the washout
had occurred work on the re-
construction of the old track was
commenced and serveys made for
new high line one that would
eliminate all danger of future
floods. The temporary track was
laid and the road in operation
within five months after the work
was started.
With the line again in operation
the company turned all of it's
attention to the work of building
the per manent or high lire. 1t
was IRENE ndo Us ur6er;al il 3 :;
there were miles and miles of heavy
rock work, mountains had to be
bored with tunnels, bridges had to
be built and thousand other
things done. The work of
marshaling the forces for such an
undertaking was not small one,
much less that of getting the
thousands of feet of timber, steel
for bridges, rails, ties and other
things. where they could be used.
But there was no hesitation and no
unnecessary delay.
Many miles of grade have been
completed and this week the work
of laying track was commenced.
Many of the tunnels are finished
as are most of the bridges.
In speaking of the work so FAR
done Mr.. Knickerbocker stated
that it was little short of re-
markable. 81 believe that am
safe in saying that the scene along
that section of the road is the
busiest in the United States to-day.
There must be at least 5000 men
and 1000 teams at work, and they
are working every possible hour.
From the present outlook, and
unless the weather conditions are
extremely unfavorable, the line
