ICE BY ELECTRIC PROCESS
Method, Long Tried Out in Hotels,
Restaurants, and Ships, socn
to Be Universal.

Now that iceless refrigeration has
been simpiified to the point where it
is suitable for the home, it is safe
to predict that it will not be long be-
fore it will be within the reach Of
even those of very modest pocket
books, and all need Of bothering with
the iceman, with his pick and tongs,
will be gone.
The ice used on our tables has long
been the product OF electric refrigera-
ton, although the mechanism was not
located in our own homes, says the
Philadelphia North American. Hotels.
restaurants and passenger boats have
used the electric process because it Is
efficient, sanitary anu convenient.
Electricity does nOt Immediately and
directly produce the freezing. temper
allure, but merely provides the motive
power to condense certain chemicals
which are the actual refrigerants. In
the process Of condensation these
chemicals vaporiZe or boil" and alb
sorb the heat from the surrounding
air. The machinery by which con-
denSation n vaporiZation is pro-
duced was formerly large and ex-
pensive, and 1t has taken continu-
Gus experimentation to reduce it to q
point where it is practical for house,
hold use.
The process has been similar to the
transition Of locomotive power from
the large and clumsy railroad steam
engine to the smaller automobiles, with
their comparatively simple mechanism.
The complex machinery had to be re-
fined TO a point where it could be
produced cheaply and operate on a
small scale. Electric refrigeration has
now almost reached the jitney class.
1t will soon be considered essential
in all our kitchens.

Restoration Worth While,

Why build new cottages? Why not
repair old ones? These we're the Ques
tons asked by the Society for the Pro
lection of Ancient Buildings, in Eng
land, and answered successfully. The
society took a veritable relic of old
England, five centuries old if a single
day, in the shape Of two dwellings I'M
der n roof at birthstone, in Suffolk.
The thick timbers, seasoned to the
quality Of iron, were good, but the
roof, the floor and the windows We're
defective. In fact the building was
habltable only on Il portion of the
ground floor. Nothing daunted, the So
ciety set to work and, by judicious
restoration. made the old dwellings as
sound as a bell. The total cost of the
work, including the freehold site, was
$3,612. A new cottage would have cost
ut least 81, 75O, not including the site.
Is 1t any wonder that the society is
casting round for other old haunts to
cOnquer?-Christian Science Monitor.

FRENCH FARMERS MADE GAINS
Financial Benefits From the
War Seems Reasonable.

A class of French society that gained
large financial benefits from the war
Is the farmers. They have become Of
late Il great force in French politics,
thus far only defensively, in %"avoiding
taxation, but later they will surely
grow more aggressive.
In the old days many, if not most, OF
them used to rem the land they titled,
but now the tenant farmer has ceased
to eXist-they have all recently bought
their farms. There were 2,OOO,OOU
American soldiers in France, and it Is
estimated that, on an average, they
spent Il dollar Il day apiece out Of their
W pockets; this makes $2,U)U,OU
q day, and most Of it went to the
French farmers, to say nothing of the
millions spent by our government to
supply ratiOns to these very soldiers.
The difference between the city prof
teers and the farmers Is that the for
mel are few, while the latter represent
q very large VOTE, which has the same
results that it would have in any
other republic, viz, those representing
the large vote are not taxed!
The needs Of the French budget will
doubtless bring about 4 correction Of
this state Of affairs, when the farmer
vote will have to pass from the de-
fensive to the aggressive.-C. II. Sher-
rill In the Outlook.

PLANT INDOOR WINDOW BOX
Small Expense and Little Effort Re-
CURED to Have Characterization
Always Pleasing.

To the real garden lover the charm OF
the garden can be extended all through
h winter months, for a window gar
den gives cheer to a room and is al
ways a source of interest and delight.
Window boxes can be kept charming
for the entire year by filling them with
hardy begonias and ferns, suggests the
Christian Science Monitor. Another in
teresting arrangement, all in green, is
Of small palms and ferns Of the long
leaved Boston type, and asparagus
sprengeri to trail owe the edge. Prim-
rose, the Chinese or common variety.
and Irish ivies make a window box
with q delightful color note. For late
autumn, if the room is kept cool, some
OF the darling little chrysanthemums
in brown and yellow are effective and
they will last several weeks. For the
late winter or early spring Towering
bulbs may be used among ferns.
In planting a winter garden one
must always remember that plants do
not thrive near steam heat, and If the
radiator is under the window a broad
shelf should be placed six inches or
more above it and the box set back on
the shelf, so that rhe force of hot air
does not come too near the foliage.
The small expense and the little eff
fort required for Il beautiful indoor
window box makes it possible for
every home-loving woman to have one.

NO LIVING THING ON ISLAND
condition Of. Affairs Would Seem to
Prove That Mother Mature
Can Make Errors.

A freak of nature. proving of more
man ordinary interest, is a good
sized island in Puget sound, which is
apparently dying from old age. 1t was
observed last sulmmer that every fir
ana cedar tree on the island was dead.
Ahcut the waters edge vegetation ap-
peared withered and a thin vapor hung
over the island during the day. Never
inhabited, and about 100 acres in ex-
tent, the island has for years been
noted for its growth Of wonderful
trees.
FRS three feet in diameter grew
so thlckly as to make travel through
them almost impossible. Both cedar
n alder fourished. The owner
snip Of the tract has been in. litiga-
ton for years and the timber could
not be logged.
Now there is not a living thing
on the island. Not IA crow rests
on the dead tops, and as boats pass,
an occasional crash tells Of the fall
ing of a great tree.
Scientists who haze visited the is
land in the last few months believe
the land has Soured. The growth Of
trees and vegetation has been SO
rapid and dense as to exhaust the
humus in the soil. Another theory
is that the soil rests on a rock base
and the rootlets Of the plants have
come into contact with the brine Of
Puget sound to such an extent that
the salt has burned out the plant
life.

PAYS TRIBUTE TO
H. K. WILLARD
Luncheon Given In Mem
DRY of the Founder of
the Willard Hotel

Washington, May 16--Of imper-
ishable and fragrant memory
among Vermonters and Washino-
tonians, the name Of Henry Angus
tus Willard, native of Westmins-
ter, VT, founder Of the Willard
Hotel in Washington, and foremost
among those pioneers of an older
generation whose foresight deserted
the vision of the Capital Beautiful
was accorded striking tribute at a
luncheon given on Saturday in his
memory on the one hundredth an
niversary of his birth by his sol,
Kellogg Willard.
A conspicuous feature of the
exercises was an address by Re-
preventative Porter H. Dale, of
Vermont, who dwelt upon the
achievements of the elder Willard
in the city of his adoption and the
beneficent influence of his nome
life, Original poems written ex-
pressly for the occasion were read,
and many distinguished citizens of
the Cdpllal teStl1led 10y Inelf pres
ence to the respect in which Mr..
Wizards memory was held and to
the esteem with which his son is
regarded.
The luncheon was given at the
old Willard homestead on X street
opposite Franklin Park,
one of the many city squares in
whose development Henry A. Will
lard interested himself to such
good purpose.
Congregated in the spacious
double parlors, from whose walls
looked down rare works of art col
lected by the builder of the house,
were some two hundred members
of the Association Of Oldest In
habitants of Washington. in which
both father and son of the Willard

family held honored membership,
with now and then a sprinkling Of
Vermonters and other New Eng
land folk. L. S. Hayes, of Bellows
Falls, historian of Rockingham,
was there, also Justice Charles H.
Robb, formerly of "The Falls" and
now associate justice of the Dis
trict of Columbia Court of APP
peals; Stephen Willard had come
from Weathersfeld, Conn, and
William A. Willard, of Hartford,
Conn, president of the Willard
Family Association, and a banker
of the Connecticut city, was one of
the principal speakers. Roses and
honeysuckle were artisticaliy en-
ployed in the decorative scheme,
while a life-size portrait of Henry
A. Willard in oils, draped with
evergreen, at the head of the as
sembly rooms seemed to preside
with benevolent dignity over the
occasion.
Allen C. Clarke, President of
the Columbia Historical Society,
was master Of ceremonies, which
did not begin until every guest had
been personally greeted by Mr.. and
Mrs. Willard and their two sons,
Henry K, Jr. and William, who
with Congressman Dale formed
the receiving party.
Mr.. Clarke spo.e briefly of the
elder Willard. Gle was distinctive
~ and in fact the host of his hotel"
he said, "Nowa-days hotels have
proprietors, who are seldom seen
by their guests. They are generally
to be found in the office counting
their money. Mr.. Willard was
everywhere, welcoming his guests
and making them feel at home, or
in the dining room seeing that they
were properly served.
John Claggett Proctor, poet of
the Oldest Inhabitants, and indeed
generally known as "poet laureate
of the District of Columbia" fol-
lowed the toas tmaster with a read

by John A. Bellows, of Walpole,
