trial Freezing Process.

CLEVELAND, May 30.-A new
method OF manufacturing lee has been
perfected which. II is claimed, will
freeze a block OF given size in one
twentieth the time necessary under
the old process.
The usual method Is TO lead pipes
OF ammonia into a tank OF water. the
evaporation taking up heat. Thus the
fee freezes first around the pipes, and
the cooling effect IL hampered by
the insulation OF the ice already
formed.
The new way IL TO run q thin sheet
OF water over a nat surface and blow
refrigerating gas on 1t from q
blower. When the water II frozen, g
fresh f1lm is run over IL and frozen
in turn. The ice IL thus rapidly built
up. the refrigerant acting always di
rectly upon the water.
