<lke New. -COOLED ▲ & REFRIGERATOR THE NECESSITY FOR HOME REFRIGERATION. It is a well-known fact that immediately meat or fish is killed decomposition commences. If left long enough it soon becomes putrid. In a warm or medium temperature this decomposition is very rapid. In hot or sultry weather milk and cream turn sour in a few hours and become unfit for human consumption. The same applies to butter and the bulk of the foodstuffs we eat. No matter how careful a housewife may be every year a large amount of food is wasted for this reason ; in fact, if a careful check were kept of what is wasted through lack of refrigeration in the home the total would be astounding. A grave danger also lies in the consumption of foodstuffs that are on the border line, i.e., on the turn—these are most unhealthy and dangerous. A HOME REFRIGERATOR SOON PAYS FOR ITSELF. Very little thought is required to appreciate that a home Refrigerator is an urgent necessity in every house. Foodstuffs may be left in a temperature of 40 to 42 degrees and will last indefinitely—the decomposition which progresses so rapidly at higher temperatures is completely checked. A “ Freezolux ” Refrigerator begins to pay for itself the moment it is installed in your home, because it prevents waste, it ensures purity of food, it imparts a full and better flavour to meat, yet enables fruit, butter, vegetables and minerals to be served cold. The “ Freezolux ” is outstandingly the cheapest of all refrigerators to run. THE FLAME THAT FREEZES. In the “ Freezolux ” a little gas flame does all that is necessary to ensure wholesome food and drink. Operating at the small consumption of one cubic foot of gas per hour, it protects from fermentation, decay and decomposition the foodstuffs you consume each day and assures the good health of the whole household. THE TOTAL OF THE GAS CONSUMED WHEN THE “ FREEZOLUX ” IS WORKING CONSTANTLY AMOUNTS TO A LITTLE OVER A SHILLING PER WEEK ON THE ORDINARY TARIFF, AND UNDER 8d PER WEEK IN THE CASE OF THE ALL-GAS TARIFF. THE “ FREEZOLUX ” IS DIFFERENT. The “ Freezolux ” differs from all other refrigerators in that it has no moving parts, no noise, no vibration. There is nothing to wear out or get out of order. By making a practical application of the laws of gases the cold is produced by a cycle of operations utilising a mixture of liquid ammonia and hydrogen gases in an evaporator. You add nothing to them, nor is anything taken from them. The cycle automatically continues as long as the supply of heat is maintained by the small gas flame. A regular marvel of modern science—heat producing cold and ice with an air cooling device or radiator similar to that of a motor -cycle engine, but without any motor, without any wear and tear, without any oiling, without any upkeep—entirely automatic, absolutely silent, no water connection, no woodwork, no trouble, and admitted by all experts as the cleverest, best and most reliable refrigerator known in the world. INSTALL ONE IN YOUR HOME—YOU WILL BE ASTOUNDED BY ITS EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY, AND IT WILL PROVE ALL IT IS CLAIMED TO BE.

In 1885 Gottlieb Daimler patented his first internal-combustion engine, and in 1894 Knebs designed and drove the first car (a Panhard) to possess a modern-type chassis, clutch, brake pedals and foot accelerator. Neither cats’ eyes nor anything else really shine in the dark, because if it did it would not be dark. The colour of a cat’s eyes has a special power of refracting light. That is why they fhow t to advantage in dim surround-
