Concerning Ices.

The storage OF ice for summer use
has been praeticed from the earliest
times. The Greeks. for instance. cons
striefed icehouses hundreds Of years
before the Christian era. and we know
that Alexander the Great. when at
Pera, In India. had large pits dug and
filled In with snow. which was COW
cred over with layers OF leaves. The
ice or frozen snow was used as oc-I
casion required. both az an Iced drink
itself and also TO cool other drinks
The Romans also enjoyed the luxury
OF iced drinks. but they generally iced
them by putting ice or snow into the
liquid. AT later period the Turks.
improving upon Alexander's method,
had well-constructed vaulted cellars
IN which they stored large blocks OF
Ice. filling up the interstices with
snow. so that the whole formed a
solid block or small iceberg. France
followed this plan for ages, but it was
not until the end OF the sixteenth
century that the French people learn
ed how TO freeze water aruhcially.
Shaped and nodded water ices were
eaten in France In 1900, and were
soon afterwards introduced into Eng
land. Cream ices were the luxury OF
a later day, and when first introduced
were very primitive compared with
the daintlly favored. colored and
shaped ices OF the present time.
