Chemistry Class Left
Tuesday To See Facts
Visits Local Ice Plant As Project

On Tuesday morning the chemis-
try class all were delighted to go
on a visit to Mr.. Varney's ice plant.
OF course, we have just learned in
chemistry that one of the most i'm
portant uses of ammonia is its use
as a refrigerating agent. The am
monia is compressed by powerful
pumpsc to a hot semi-liquid; it is
then cooled and liquified by passing
through a water jacket. The liquid
ammonia is allowed to expand rap
idly in pipes which run through cal
cium chloride. The calcium chlor-
ide solution is kept moving around
the vats of clean water by means
of a pump. Wl1en the ammonia pas
ses from a liquid to a gas, it takes
heat from the brine. The brine takes
heat from the water in the boxes
where the ice is frozen until the
water is cold enough to freeze. A vat
of ice takes thirty-slX hours 10
freeze. Air is forced through the
water that is freezing to make it
freeze clear. After the ice is frozen
and has been taken out by big
crane, it is carried to a vat in which
there is hot water. The container Of
ice is dipped in hot water for about
two minutes. A little of the outside
ice melts, and the ice lossens. 1t is
then slid down into the store room.
After inspecting the freezing appa-
ratus, we went into the storage
rooms where we all became very
chilly.
We want to thank Mr.. Webb for
his kindness in demonstrating this
to us, and also Mr.. Varney for the
privilege.

One of the leading Industries of
Milford, with which only few Of
our citizens are acquainted, is the
manufacturing of bricks, managed
by Mr.. Van Neis Wilkerson. Last
week he kindly showed me through
the factory which by the way is

Mihord, out of East Front Street,
and explained how his products
were made.
At one side of the mill there is a
steep pit from which the clay is re-
moved into small cars and dumped
into a form of bin at the bottom of

IntercLass Basketball
Seniors Bow To Juniors

There were some interesting
games this week during the noon
hour. These games create an inter
est in basketball down in the
grades. Each team, having a desire
to win, practices in gym classes and
other spare times. They now have
the out door court fixed and some
of the pupils can play there. The
grade players are showing a great
increase in playing ability. They
handle the ball we'll and most of
them are good shots.
The first game this week was a
forfeit. II won the game, 2 to 0.
70 did not appear in the game.
The second game between 80 and
73 was a good game in which 80 de-
feated 73, to 5.
Wednesday of this week the two
sections of the sixth grade played,
81 and 62. The latter was defeated
by a score of 2 to /.
Thursday the first high school
game occurred. 10-1 was defeated

Spencer is interested in science.
He would like to travel and see the
world. We probably have a great
scientist among us. Our class
thinks he is a good chap, even if he
does chew toothpicks. When things
are dull Spencer can always fur
nish some good amusements, such
as humping Jim Webb. We are sorry
we do not have any more fellows
with birthdays in the school year,
so we can congratulate them with a
good humping. Spencer was one Of

SENATORS TO FIX
ECONOMY POLICY
Committee Holds First Exec

Other Questions.

The special Senate Economy Commit
tee held its first executive session today
to consider what policy to recommend
for the next fiscal year regarding Gov
ernment salaries and whether there
should be any changes in other fea-
lures Of the economy Law. The COM
mittee, however, came to no conclusions.
Indications are that members Of the
Senate group are turning over In their
minds the question Of whether to go
along with the furlough plan as it now
stands for another year, or to substi-
tute for that same nat percentage re-
duction. There have been no definite
signs thus far OF q disposition to apply
both the payless furiough and IN addi-
tional percentage cut on salaries.

Of the Senate group will be known until
after the Treasury-Post Once appro-
priation bill, on which the general
policy for all bills Is expected to be
laid down, reaches the Senate Appro-
priationS Committee from the HOUSE.
The Senate group will continue to con-
fer on the subject, but will not an
nounce its decisions until it Is time to
report to the Appropriations Committee.
Aside from the salary issue, the Sen
ate Committee has heard testimony In
the past two weeks on q number OF
suggested changes In other features OF
the economy law, including the dis
continuance Of automatic promotions,

RAIL LABOR MAKES
COUNTER PROPOSAL
Asks One Years Extension Of Pay
Cuts, but Leaves Way
for Change.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 15.-Union
railway labor suggested in q counter
proposal to employers today that the
present agreement for 10 per cent de-
duction In wages be extended one year
past its expiration date Of next jan
uary 81.
The railroads had suggested that the
present agreement be extended for six
months and the question Of wages then
be negotiated under the railroad labor
act.
No change has been made in basic
wage rates and none Is suggested in
the proposals by either side.
Under labor's plan, the 10 per cent
deduction negotiated last Winter would
be extended until January 81, 1884.
However, either side could, during the
month Of January, 1894, make sugges-
tions for changes In the basic rate Of
wage. II such suggestion we're made,
the deduction agreement could be ex-
tended for an additional two months to
allow time for negotiations.
