tirely and the interior of the place
was cool and dry.
Somebody told a scientific shark
about this curious fact and he inves-
hgated with this result: =
The rock surrounding the mine and0
above it is filed with small ,fissures.t
In winter time when the atmosphere
is cold and consequently heavy air. !,
is forced into these assures and thea
surrounding rock becomes intensely
cold-really storing up the cold that
is in the air. The winter having froz-R
en- up all moisture, there is none toiT
get into the shaft or assures. Ina
the summer time, however, when theF
air is lighter naturally enters theseu
assures from above, is condensed
by the first Of the cooler air it strikes
into little streams of water which
flow downward over the face of and2
through the crevices where the in-O
tense cold air has been stored andd
is quite naturally formed into ice. 10
The freezing temperature is main-s
tanned as long as the stored "cold''o
in the rocks lasts, and this is usually
in summer. AS soon as the cold is
exhausted the ice commences to melt
and by winter time is entirely gone.a
AS there is no more moisture in theD
atmosphere and no water trickling)
through the rocks, it is perfectly
natural that they should remain dry5
until the next summers moisture be-
gins to flow.
Tests made of the shaft show that
is has temperature during summer
ranging from Is to 80 degrees and ito
always seems colder on hot day be-
cause of the comparative heat of the
outside air. 4

WOULDN'T 1T BE TOUGH ON THE
& ICE COMPANY

The ice man is due to call at your
house pretty soon at so much per
day. Wouldn't it make, you glad if
you had an ice mine in your cellar?
An ice mine that forms more ice. on
the hottest day of summer than any
other day?
There are two such mines in the
United States only two, sad to say,
both in Pennsylvania.
The most notable of the two sum-
mer ice factories is known as the
Sweden Valley Ice Mine and is To-
Gated four miles west of Coudersport,
Potter county, Pa. 1t was located
only few years ago, and the state
ments of the people who located it
seemed so impossible that little at
tention was paid until recently when
some ambitious citizens, who believed
that the Indians of old had secret
silver mines in Pennsylvania, went
out prospecting,
Two of these prospectors came I'M
expectedly on layer of ice four
or five inches under the soil. They
sunk shaft and found more ice
and peculiar kind of rock. The ice
didn't bother them, but the rock did
and they dug further to get some of
the shale assayed. They uncovered
a underground aperture, through
which came a current of very cold
air. The rock did not show any value.
when assayed and the hole was for
gotten.
The following spring one of the
men returned to the place and found
a lot of ice in the hole, despite the
fact that the weather was fairly
warm. AS the summer progressed,
instead of the ice melting, there came
more and more of it until the sides
of the shaft, which went into the
hillside about 20 feet, was covered
