DEATH TO FROST
CHEMICAL DISCOVERY. ' - f. ■ REMARKABLE CLAIM MADE. London, Nov. 23. A Northumberland chemist, Mr. J. Halbert, has discovered a remarkable chemical which he claims can clear a street of snow within 15 minutes, and thaw a football field or racecourse in a morning, so that it does not freeze again for a week.. An exhaustive test of the new chemical was carried out on two sods of turf, one of which had been treated with the chemical, which were placed in a 'refrigerator for 24 hours. The sod that had been treated was perfectly soft when taken from the 'ice chamber, while the other was as hard as marble, but thawed within three hours after treatment.
