ARTIFICIAL ICE. The following is a clipping from pauper published in Riverside, « "litornia. [he senior class in physics at ++ High sebool enjoyed a tour of -pection oi the ice factory yester- « y afternoon. The class 15 inter- + .ed in the study of heat and Pro- sor Zumbro thought to give 'ma pracuica! illustration of this se of the study. The class was « .l received at the factory, and Juseructed by Mr. Zumbro, explor- | all the workings of the business. "hese are some of the things they i :rned : Lhe ice is frozen in large tanks means of a heavy brine cooled ammonia. The ammonia is re- « ved in the form of a gas. Itis + mped into a compressor and by . cans of a force pump is put under a pressure 150 pounds to the square 'h, It is too hot at this stage to « ndense toa hquid and it is run 3 om the compressor through about . 00 feet of small pipe, over which i. a coustant low of water. From i ¢ condensorit flows to the tanks. i.cre by means of a small valve the 1 quid ammonia is allowed to ex- vid into about a thousand feet of « tled p'pe to pressure of ovly a- at 15 pounds and changes from « tiquid into the form of gas again. ie coil of pipe through w hich this amonia gas flows is completely ~overed by the hcavy brine sur- v auding the tanks when the chem- ival change of the ammonia from a quid to a gas, absorbs all the heat ou che salt water. Dut the freezing , int ot salt water is much lower isan that of pure water and the vane reaches a temperature low ough to freeze the pure water 1n ve tanks which it surrounds From 1 +e tanks the ammonia flows back + the compressor again and thus is " +-ed over and over again. There are six of these large tanks swt the factory. Each tank is divid- «| into sixteen cowpartinents and vach compartment yields 1200 1+ ounds of ice. It takes about 72 1: urs to freee a tank of the water. + re artesian water is used. The . ine used is made of water which « ntains all the salt it will dissolve. The company bave their large » tore rooms almost full of ice and : ve preparing to meet the summer « wand, having about $C00 tons ot 1'¢ now in storage. 1 OW TO MAINTAIN SOIL FERTILITY | "We all know that it is very de- + rable to have a fertile soil in Ww hich to grow ercps", seys F. P. 4 cck of Michigan, "For success in rming depends largely on the i vility of the land. Every one . nows of many, once fertile farms * nich are not now producing half wnat they should--scarcely enough =» pay for the labor necessary to 1woduce a crop. It is more profit- le to farm sc as to maintain or _uprove the soil than it is to rob * ie soil of its fertility, and in the « d bring ruin to the owner of the Salim, How is this to be done ?
