ICE PLANT FOR EVERY HOME

The electric ice box is on its
way and the time is surely com.
ing when the ice nan will cease to
call-when the pressure of a finger
will furnish low temperatures for
the refrigerators or the ice chest.
The new ice plant for the house
looks akin to the ordinary refriger-
ator, being about the same shape
and size; but instead of the ice
man dropping Ordinary hunks of
ice into its interior at so much a
hunk, a small electric motor will
drive a small ammonia ice plant
and circulate brine through 8
series of refrigerating pipes.
The new refrigerator is operat-
ed by electricity. In place of ice
a cooling liquid" is circulated by
a small motor driven pump. The
scheme for keeping the refriger-
ator cool is the same used to make
artificial ice. With the motor
driven pump ammonia gas is COM
pressed to the point at which the
gas liquifes (for pure ammonia is a
gas) and the heat generated by this
compression is extracted with
water jackets. This liquefied gas
is conducted to the cooler through
a pipe allowed to expand in a coil.
OF course, as the gas expands it
absorbs just as much heat from its
surroundings as was generated in
COMPRISING it. This lowers the
temperature of the interior nearly
to the freezing point. From the
expansion coil the gas is conducted
back to the compressor ready for
another cycle.
Tie beauty of the electric
refrigerator is that it works
absolutely automatically and with
the perfection of economy. When
the temperature in the "icc box"
rises above a certain point a tiny
electric device starts the motor
which circulates the cooling
liquid. As soon as the temporal
ture drops to the desired point the
same device called a thermo sat,
stops the motor The automatic
devices control the apparatus
indefinitely, and there is no waste
of electric power. So simple is
the new refrigerator that it requires
pr acticalIy no attention except an
occasional oiling of the electric
motor and the compressor.
The iceless box has been sue
c~essfully used for some time in
hotels, meat markets, fruit stores,
creameries and in wholesale houses,
where perishable goods arc
handled. Now it is to be made in
sizes suitable for the home

the result Of gradual process Of develop
ment.
One Of the things about which there is at
present much uncertainty is the extent to
which transparent veilings VIII be used in
new frocks. although the effects to be OBJ
tained by their use are SO beautiful that a
continuance for some time to come Of a
more or less absolute reign seems assured
20 them. It is true there are dangers in
the path of those who build gowns IN
which these veilings have part, and one
20 be especially guarded against is the
fussiness that sometimes comes from the
use Of several materials In a single gar
ment. There is most need Of care regard
ing this point when one is utilizing rem
nants that happen to be On hand, but
when this care is given most artistic re-
suits may be obtained.

Ure TO strike the word male from the
eonstitution-but not the same old measure
offered at former sessions. During the last
twelve months the suffragists. aided by
several perfectly good lawyers, have labored
at the document, Until everything the AN

least. the suffragists fondly hope so.
The objection made to the former measure
was that it would permit the wife of an
alien to vote by right OF the citizenship
conferred by her husbands natura iization,
though she might be quite devoid of the
qualifications required for citizenship. A
clause II the new bill guards against this.

is as follows:
THE foregoing provisions of this section
shall not apply 10 a female whose citizen

citizen and who does not possess like
qualifications as are required by law to
entitle an alien male person to become a
citizen
THE Legislature shall by law provide

such female citizen shall be ascertained.
No other or further qualifications Of such
citizen shall be required than are required
