depths below An expression OF beatific
satisfaction overspread his features as
he saw that poetic justice had over
taken the carelessness OF the workers be-
low. for the luckless darkey who had so
negligently fastened the tongs about the
ice had been too lazy to back off out OF
harms way, and the falling block. catch
ing him sideways on the skull, had
knocked him half senseless.
Then that mate addressed few choice
remarks to the gang in the hold, that for
convincing eloquence surpassed anything
lately heard even on the wharves. And
that it carried conviction was evidenced
by the fact that during the hour that the
visitor remained there only single block
of ice slipped from the tongs.
After that the mates temper cleared
amazingly. He was a mine OF good-na-
tured conversation, and chatted In that
agreeable, off-hand manner OF his little
world of ship. as only good-naturod
first mate can chat.
Speaking of the passing of the ice ship.
one OF the managers of a prominent ice
company in Washington said:
The ice ship is no more and the May
is beyond doubt the last boat that will
ever bring a cargo from the Kennebec
to Washington waters. Last year there
were about half a dozen vessels came
down with Ice, the year Detore some
eight or ten and the year before that
about twice that many.
Twenty years or more ago there were
from one hundred and twenty-five to one
hundred and fifty a season engaged in
the business. There would sometimes
be a dozen or more tied UP at the Ice
house wharves in Washington and
Georgetown unloading. while half a
dozen more would be lying in the stream
waiting a chance to dock. They would
average from three to five thousand
tons vessel. They supplied Washing
ton with practically all the ice the city
consumed But the ice plants COM
menced to encroach upon their trade
year by year: improvements were made
in manufacture until at length they
manufactured not only better, but a
cheaper product than the ice ships
brought-and then the ice ships were
doomed.
Barring little cut on the Potomac
river during exceptionally cold winters
the ice factories will hereafter supply
the city and the various manufacturing
industries, like meat packing and fruit
dealing 1t is a change that is much for
the better, though the old ice ship was
a picturesque sight upon the river, for
the manufactured product is better in
every respect"
Peace to the ribs Of the old ice ship!

One very useful and important cleo

the Capitol and the library is a tunnel,

located beneath the rotunda is equipped
with an improved modern switchboard,
and is connected with more than 300 tele-
phones throughout phe building. A large
number Of trunk lines lead to the central

modious room on the deck with ample
space for his "duds'' and a roomy berth
to sleep in. while windows afford plenty
of light and air. Altogether, with his
thirty dollars a month and board and
lodging, the modern sailor has nothing
to complain of. Especially is this true
on board an ice ship, where on the hot
test days he can always find a cool
and shady spot on the cargo below deck.
The innovation of the steam or gaso-
line engine on board the sailing ships of
today has vastly lightened the work of
the common sailor. though it was not
philanthropy that moved the shipowner
to adopt it. It is now used on all mod
ern sailers to hoist and lower the heavy
sails. leaving to the sailormen only the
lighter task of trimming them to catch
the breezes to most advantage. Also ma
chinery raises the anchor, job no sail
or covets This shifting OF the heavy
work to steam and gasoline enables the
captain to handle his ship not only more
expeditously, for an engine can raise or
lower the great sails in one-fifth the time
that man-power can do it-a great ad-
vantage in squally weather-but he can
get along with one-quarter the number
of sailors he would otherwise be compell-
ed to employ-and coal and gasoline are
much cheaper than bread and meat, not
to speak of hard money in wages. Even

In the west grounds Of the Capitol are
two vine-clad stone towers partly .on-
ers air enters the air chambers leading to
ventilattng fans in eacn wing a1C the
center Of the Capitol. All Of the fans are
of steel construction and vary from three
to twelve feet in diameter, according to
their requirements. Each fan Is driven
by an electric motor Of proper capacity,
whose armature is keyed Oh the fan
shaft, thus dispensing with betting. The
terrace ventilation is controlled by an
eight-horsepower motor and fan six
fan is ten feet in diameter and Is driven
by an eighteen-horsepower motor. which
delivers from 5000 to $4,000 cubic feet Of
air per minute, as required.

The air is delivered into the chamber
through finely divided openings in the
floor. The air delivered to the gallery is
a few degrees warmer, to prevent its
tendency to settle downward into the
chamber below. Up above the Senate
chamber and press galleries arc two large
electric exhaust fans. which force the
devitalized air into the outside atIros-
phere. Smaller electric exhaust fans re-
move the smoke-laden air from the cloak
rooms.
Over on the House side a forty-horse-
power electric motor, directly connected
to double fan twelve feet in diameter,
forces fresh air into a tile-lined air
chamber below the floor Of the House.
whence it issues into the House through
desk-leg diffuSers and additional side COW
cred openings under each desk. Their
mostats regulate automatically the TEN

degrees from a fixed standard

the instant the pressure Is restored to
a pressure OF fifteen pounds to the square

There are nine passenger elevators IN
by electric motors at speed of 300 feet
per minute. These elevators are not all
for the benefit of the public, a fact not
generally known until one attempts to
use them. The private electric elevators
are great convenience, however to
those privileged to use them, affoIuing a
ready exit from the building, via the ter

PASSING the Ice Ships which argoes Maine Washington

Of ice. This would not only be poorer
in appearance, but 1t would not hold the
frost like the clearer ice and hence would
melt much more rapidly The manufac-
tured Ice, on the other hand, is always
perfectly solid and clear.
Another point of advantage that the
manufactured Ice has is this: No matter
how pure the river water may be, 1t is
never entirely without impurities. It is
a mistake to say that running water
clears and frees itself of all impurities
in running five miles; there are certain
impurities that have the same as or
less specific gravity than water. These
the water is not freed from, no matter
what distance it may run. and hence.
when the water containing them Is
frozen, the ice formed contains the I'm
purities. There are many dangerous
germs. as is now commonly known. that
severest northern winters will kill. Hence,
there is always danger from using the
natural ice if 1t Is taken internally. Ex-
cept when / am taking a cargo OF ice l

on shipboard If I could possibly get it,
The first mate Of this last of the ice
ships was a typical first mate. The
duties of this officer. be 1t known, are
those of a sort of ships housekeeper.
While the captains duties take him
ashore and bring him into contact with
other people than seafaring folk, the
first mates duties are confined wholly
to the ship over WnlCh ne IOruS II
And lord it he does Never a czar Of
darkest Russia was more of an autocrat
than this small officer of a small bit of
the worldly cosmos. While the captain
has normal contrib over the sailors and
cook and cabin boy and whatever super
numeraries there may be aboard, it is in
the first mate that all real authority Is
invested Then woe betide the sailor
whose -ill-will this small czar incurs.
The mate of the William H. May had
his work cut out for him, dealing as he
had to with foreign-born sailors and an
American cook. His language was Of a
most virile and turgid type, especially
when something went awry. He was
standing by the hatchway, when the WIS.,
itor went aboard, experimenting the un-
loading of the ice, and this 'bossing' OF
strange. .da rkies in the hot Alexandria sur
had evidently not been soothing to his
temper; for his greeting was shor

On the deck Of the May the visitor
found a busy scene. From an icehouse

about twenty feet directly above the
main hatch of the deck-that means the

pair of these tongs would go shooting
down through the hatchway into the

there leaped forth from the dark hatch

firmly in the grip of the tongs- The rope
