M AHUFACTClBe OF ICH, One ef the curioalUst of the Paris Expesition of 1887, which attracted an •xtra degree of attention, was a ma- ffeine fer mau«tacft«riqg ioe. Yankee . Ingenuity wasq«ii»kto seize Ike cue thus afforded, and now we find the fa­ mous reprtswitativs «f the Nevada jUlver ml nee, Senator Jenee, taking In Ibw an Improved apparatus of this %brt, and spending his money freely to Introduce It throughout the Seuth. Hie lias already established agencies at At­ lanta. New Orleans and Galveston, and Xp sanguine of the ultimate success of ll» entornrl^ Thf? 1ff#»wmrlr £iWpmnl ^Ives the following description of the ^jpaciiine: "It is constructed of cast ;'||ron, weighs about twenty-two tons, and is simply an Immense oempresser. It lias for a base an oblong reservoir, srhaps four by six feet, out of which fise two cylinders of twenty-four inch v|nr«. to the helsrfct of ihsut ten feet.-- |Jt works on the well-known principle Jtoat compression of a body or gas robs '•:*m of heat. The gas ts Introduced Into ,>J|he reservoir, ia then compressed by *^Od« working !n the upright cylinders, Jlfter which relievod of its heatv it is fassed in liquid form through ooils to a Sootn where there is water. By its tresence the temperature of the room reduced to a degree far below the -easing point, even to twenty and fhirty degrees below sero. The water lis thus quickly frozen Into what is mown as anchor ioe, which Is harder tan ice made naturally, and sinks in rater. With a man of Senator Jones* kbility for doing good, this scheme is *#0 much better than his attempt to ^bamboozle the people on the silver Question, that we can only hope he " Will devote his whole energies to its . prosecution.

The Wind blew high, and the waves rolled turbulently Under the solemn timbers of the old arches; black and sullen were the waters-- f blr.ck and sullen was the sky. The man Wore a red shirt; a handkerchief was tied with fantastic exactness about his head, and under it stood out his wild elf-locks, triack as* the night* the sky ^Jind the waters. Startled by this ap- . Juration, at an unseemly hour, the traveller stood appalled, and each sur­ veyed the other en the long, dismal thoroughfare. At last a peal of sharp •laughter tilled the air; ho of the red shirt sprang forward, laying both - hands heavily upon the unprepared stranger, and cried out in unearthly tones,•*Man. man! did you ever thank God for your reason?" "I I never did!" stammered the traveler, striving to regain*his self- possession. 44 Then, thank Him now!" shouted the maniac; and, standing hack to make a leap, his last cry rang on the night, as be yelled: H for I have lost mine!" And he sprang over the bridge with the heaving waters, whose moaning surges smothered his dying struggles. Header, did yon over thank God for your reasearf If not, "ttrsnk Him n o w . * . . .
