Another large audience greeted the Mechanics' Band Minstrel Co. Saturday night. The programme Was considerably changed from the night before, and those who attended both nights were as highly entertained as were those who attended onlv one night. On each night it was a surprise party for both the audience and the performers. The performers were surprised to see such a large audience and the audience was surprised to see such a good performance. The company was much better than the average successful professional company and it all goes to prove that Bloomington is well supplied with good local talent in musical and dramatic, ftimlesThe Mechanics' band is an organization that is a credit to a progressive city, and the success of the two entertainments is gratifying to their many friends. The total receipts were near $125. NORTH POLE. JR. Nature Not "In It" With the Bloomington Artificial Ice Co. 1mm Plant ta Now In Operation and Ready to Supply the People of Bloomington With Solid Frigidity. A few years ago an artificial ice plant would hare been looked upon as the eighth wonder of the world, but today it has become almost a necessity. The New Bloomington Artificial Ice Co. started its plant Saturday and yesterday morning the first block of ice was taken from the cans. About two hundred yards from the factory is a clear, cold spring gushing from a fissure in the rock at a rate of sixty gallons per minute. This water if pumped into the large receiving boilers where it is converted into steam. From there it passes into the condenser where it resumes its liquid state. After passing through the first condenser the water is pumped into the re-boilers and from there it passes through the coolers into the freezing cans. The process of boiling and re-boiling makes the water absolutely pure by removing all animal and vegetable matter from it. The steel-freezing tank is eighteen feet wide and twenty feet long. Through it coils of extra heavy pipe are run and between each tier of coils is a row of freezing cans with pure water inside of them. Surrounding the cans and submerging the coils is a body ol very strong salt brine. Through the coils of pipe vaporized ammonia is forced. This ammonia ab

plasty & sorbs the heat from the brine and thus freezes the water in the cans. After completing its task of removing the heat from the brine it passes through the ammonia pipes into the condensers where it is changed, by a very high pressure, lroni a vapor to a gas, which, by passing through cooling coils submerged in cold water, is liquified ar.d Hows back into the receiving jar from which it started. In the freezing tank are 120 cans of 200 pounds capacity each. Forty eight hours are required to freeze the ice and as sixty cans are lifted daily the capacity of the plant is sixty one tons. One can is lifted every twenty five minutes. It is then taken by a truck to the dump box where a jet of hot water is sprayed oyer it , to loosen the ice. When the ice is released it passes down an inclined plane to the ante room whtre it is ready either for the wagon or the cold storage rooms. Artificial ice has several advantages over natural ice in that it is absolutely pure, it is frozen firmer, and will remain frozen $ longer than the natural ice. Two ice wagons will supply the city with chunks of condensed winter. In connection with the plant are several cold storage rooms so arranged with coils of pipe filled with cold brine that they can be held at temperature even in the hottest weather. Charles V. Boring, the erecting engineer, for the York & St. Clair Ice Machine Co., of York, Pa , superintended the construction of the plant and will remain in the city thirty days to get it in good working order. Mr. Boring is a competent engineer and during his stay in our city has made many friends. The owners of this miniature North Pole, Josiah Daugherty, Harry Daugherty and Harry Brissenton cordially invite the public to inspect their plant, south of the city. What the Legislators Ordered. The legislature bought 1,47 2 pen holders, nearly ten to each member. For these pen holders, for the use of 150 members and their clerks, they bought 27,648 points, or 184 for each member, seventy-four bottles of ink and sixty -eight erasers were purchased. For their correspondence sixty-four reams of lithographed letter paper, 213 sheets for each member. No wonder they had so much to carry home with them. They also had sixtyboxes of envelopes, of 500 envelopes each, and 15,448 envelopes besides. They also got 3,160 lead pencils, 1,194 scratch books, 143 boxes of paper fasteners, six pairs of shears, 26 bottles of mucilage, seven paper fastening machines and three corks screws, presumably to open those bottles of whiskey which engineer Cain kept in the basement for those members "who might feel bad ."
