It is important to liiiu.v tost bis apparatus is not timeline for producing refiigeiating eifect, but one ter applying the triect produced by ammonia, sulphurous ftniiV'iriiie. ether and other similar uiiichints, t.i the tooling and drying of air. a Irat r.LHIi has not hitherto h—n suuces-tu.ly ucceiopu'-rhea, fo that an ordinary ammonia ice asking machine with a (,’aainfcet's coder " Httach'..i. may novo be utilised for the one! purpose of malting ice for commercial pari-vt-s and l v -r freedne or i rcst-rvlug meat. Ihe " Cooitr,” which i;: tlm subject of t);e patent, may be described as a v .. t-irun bottom •nr Los with four pauiiktu-, on which aresc-

The water thus wrung out of the air is deposited in the bottom of the iron box, ■mu Ji,.w S out in a stream through cocks pro video tor the purpose, as long as the air from outside is pas-ed through the tubes. In practice- Ibis only occurs for a short period, for us soon as the insulated space is filled with cold air the machine draws its supply from the cold chamber, and utilises the same air over and over agaiu. Any portion of the watery vapor which may be deposited iu the tubes in the shape of snow or ice is lemovfci! by reversing the current of air, and the al-.--ti.ee of snow from the channels of communication between the coolers aud the insulated chambers is one of the claims raised by the inventor of thu superiority of his process over any other existing process.
