The problem of producing ice in small quantities quickly and cheaply has aparently been solved by a French inventor, who has perfected a ma chine which is cheap, simple of opera tion, practically everlasting, and thor oughly practical. It may be operat ed by a belt connected with a steam engine, by a small electric motor, or b.- Hnd cranks. The invention is a rotative com pression and automatic machine, reg ulating itself to all speeds, whatever may be the temperature of the con densing water used. The important feature is a cylinder in which the chemicals are sealed the latter not requiring renewal and lasting as long as the machine itself and which, re volving in water, produces the ice. It can also produce cold air. The machine has no joint piece, no pressure gauge, no suction or regulat ing valve, It will work in water reaching even 113 degrees Fahrenheit, and saves ninety-eight per cent of coling water and seventy per cent of motive power as compared with any other freezing machine known. The Germans have also a new freezing device especially adopted to household and field hospital use: It is very simple, and could be manufac tured for about one dollar. It con sists merely of a double wall tin ves sel with a capaciey of five gallons. The hollow space between the two walls is about an inch across. By the gradual admission of carbonic acid into this hollow space through an opening at the bottom, and from there to the vessel proper through a cross arm tube, it is claimed that water may be converted into ice in the space of sixty seconds, and that meats, fruits, and beverages, such as beer or wine, may be chilled or froz en in a few seconds. This effect is produced by the sudden great reduc tion of temperature caused bv the. rapir expansion of the carbonic acid, which is admitted from an ordinary carbonic acid reservoir.
