The air circulates In the di rection represented by the arrows. The Ice rests on a corrugated galvanized Iron rack, which Is so constructed as to leave an air passage under the Iron. The warm air in the provision chamber rises through the flues at each end of the Ice chamber, comes in contact with the Ice at the central opening In the lid flue, becomes colder and drops under the Ice rack, where all moisture is condensed, and falls through the central opening under the ice into the provi sion chamber, cold and dry. No other system keeps the air so long In contact with the Ice as the ALASKA docs, consequently the Alaska does Its work more thoroughly than any other refrigerator.
