TO KEEP MILK COOL.
There are countries in which ice is
unknown, and Yet for ages the people
have understood, in some degree, the
ant Of producing for water and other
fluids temperature lower than that
Of the surrounding air. The princi-
pie involved in all such CASES is a
lower temperature produced by the
slow evaporation of water. The same
principle may be invoked by us to-
day, when our supply of ice has given
out. or if for any cause that most
COMFORTABLE agent in hot weather is
beyond our reach. An exchange has
described a simple but effective device
Tor cooling any liquid without thc
aid OF ice by invoking this principle
of evaporation. You take a tin cup
and cut a slot across the bottom
width a can opensr or other means.
Then take the leg CT an old cotton
stocking or the slaave of q cas.-Cff
end of the remnant Through the slot
in the bottom Of the cup, so that
the slot is loosely filled and the
end sticks up i'm the cup. The large
or free end of the remnant should be
trimmed so as to hang closely about
the bottle containing the milk, which
bottle should be kept sitting, mean
while, in plate or dish. The cup
set on the bottle lis now fillsd with
water and the cloth acts as a wick
to conduct the water slowly down
over the bottle. Be sure not to have
the fabric plug the slot in Ghe bottom
of the cup too tightly, olse this water
can net pass down. Also, the cloth
should be wrapped quite closely aibol.
the bottle to exclude the eir. The
consequent evaporation in the VS..
cloth causes a considaabba reduction
in Temperature and will hsep the
milk quite cool.
