Credit Is Due
to DR.. Gorrie.

ida, who was granted "A patent for an ice
machine in 1857. Dr.. Gorrie had succeed
ed in making ice as early as 1S45, but was
unable to get the necessary capital to de-
yelop his idea. The apparatus used by
DR.. Gorrie was tire forerunner of the
compressed air machine now in use. The
Importance of DIR. Gorrie's invention in
ice production is SO well recognized that
"a monument has been erected to his
memory in Appalachicola. and the state
OF Florida has arranged to place his
statue in the capitol at Washington.
In addition to the manufacture Of ice,
the production of low temperature by
means OF chemicals has made possible
the refrigeration and cold storages which
now play so important "A part in public
health and comfort. IL has made possible
the preservation of all kinds Of food prod
ucts in their natural state. There are so
many branches OF this work that IL has
led TO the development OF a new calling
Ref. gerattng engineering Is now recog-
nized az an important profession. II Is
known, OF course, that different products
require a difference in temperature To Sc
cure proper results. For instance, fruit
and eggs must be kept at a temperature
slightly above freezing. while poultry.
fish and meat may be frozen solid.
Perhaps IL is in the hospital anG sick
room where ice plays its strongest part in
the alienation OF human misery. Or.
Gorrie's discovery arose from his effort
TO find a means Of cooling the rooms for
fever patients Now the cold storage ia
cilities of the hospital are likely TO make
possible many seemingly impossible oper-
atoms in the way of grating tissues or
even transplanting some organ from the
body OF one person TO another. The re-
suits Of several experiments have led
physicians To believe that ii will be pos
sible To preserve healthy human tissue
for months in cold storage. BY this
means the man who has had the skin of
his arm destroyed by an accident may be
supplied with a new eperdermis from the
cold storage room. which may have been
taken from the amputated limb OF some
other unfortunate.

Tudor was granted a monopoly by Great
Britain of the ice trade with her col
onies In the West Indies. In 1916 he re-
ceived a similar concession from Spain.
BY 1870 he had extended his trade to
Savannah. New Orleans and other south
ern parts of the United States. and in
1884 he shipped ice as far south as Rio
de Janerio. BY this time he had not only
amassed fortune but had drawn others
into the field, and by 1880 the ice ex-
ported from this country amounted to
s1O1.S1S a year. 1t reached $4,000 in 1853,
but decreased during the next ten years,
chiefly on account of the civil war 1t
reached its highest point during 1865, aud
from 1870 the foreign trade gradua y
decreased until now 1t is practically eX-
tinct. This decrease in expectation is
partially due to the increased home de-
mand and partially to the production of
ice in other countries as an article of
commerce. especially during the last
quarter OF a century. when manufactured

AN ouTWORN ATTITUDE.

"There is something uncommOnil
significant in the fact that Panama
has asked the United States to take
q hand in it's Forthcoming election
and to assure an honest election the
St. Louis Times observes.
"Evidently there is a widespread he
lief that we do things better in this
country And it is pleasure to re
fleet that perhaps the conviction is
justified.
Americans to hold that political enter
prises are conducted crookedly. The
politicians is an expression which is
supposed to create laughter. There
are charges of fraud in most elections !;
and there are contests in one section
of the country or another every year.
Yet Panama, seeking a genuine ballot
test. asks the United States govern
ment to help, TO the end that fraud
may be prevented.
perhaps the time has come when
the Americans as nation should
study the great virtue Of patriotism
in an earnest fashion which has be-
come old fashioned and unpopular in
recent years. Shallow cynicism has
run it's course. 1t has become far too
common to declare that the govern
ment is rotten and that the ballot is
a farce.
"A great many people express this
theory; but who really believes in the
soundness Of it?
1T has become one of the weapons
of parties to cry fraud when a
'favorite son is rejected. and the rank
and file Of the people are quick to
take up the cry. 49,
1T might help If every voter were
to inquire where there is better gov
ernment--a perfect government. A
firmer realization that the American
way is the best way. founded upon
the convictions of the most earnest
people of many nations, might help
greatly.
1.-The people do prevail in the long
rum in the United States. Is there
room, then, for misgivings and
cynicism? Would it not help if civic
optimism were to become popular, In
place of the insincere pessimism which
prevails?"
