The ma chine is of American manufacture, from the New Brunswick Refrigerator company, and has capacity of one ton. It turns out 500 pounds of ice and ten gallons of ice cream daily. It is principally an ice cream machine, but lee is such a rarity that the protector decided to experiment in it's manufac' ture.

Three Hundred and Fifty Different Specimens in Existence, Accord

Germany adopted the corn flower as a national institution many years ago, the adoption coming about mere V by way of a popular choice. It is a common flower all over Europe, but rather more prolific in Germany than ill any other of the countries graced by it.
 Botanists tell us that there are no less than $50 varieties of the corn flower to be found, but the plant that Is found in profusion in the realms of the kaiser Is said to be the most beautiful of all.
