COLDER THAN ICE.
REFRIGERATING PROCESS. SYDNEY, May 12. The new ice is not sometiiing to eat. It is not really ice at all. It is a combination of refrigerating with sterilised atmosphere—solidnect than ice, having a temperature of carbon dioxide —which is much colder 114 degrees below zero, as against the 30 degrees above zero of water ice. To give a name to this new process of refrigeration, the American discoverers have christeneed it, “PrestAir Ice.”
Wonderful things are claimed for “Prest-Air ice,” the rights of which have been secured for Australia by Mr. E. W. Richards. It is turned out in blocks and delivered like ordinary ice, and at a price competitive- with that of water ice. A 251 b block, says Mr. Richards, will keep the average house safe going for six or seven days, with no taint to food and no waste water to create a meses.
The new discovery will, it is claimed, revolutionise refrigerating methods on railways and steamships. It will enable chilled meat to he sent to Great Britain at less cost than frozen meat under the present method.
