One ofthe greasest luxuries preservers of the health in this climate during the hot months of summer, is ice. Ir is therefcre ; -Im-ore we observe thfew h u 3 are multiplying in t'olf 5c indeed all our towns, and that there are few country gentlemen without them. Hut the air pumps constructed by professor Leslie of Edinburg, for the freezing of water and other thuds, appears to us more convenient and cheaper for family purposes than an ice knuo nivWefunil t'nof uia apparatus is sold in London for 5 guineas, sufficiently largefoireezing a gallon of water in 10 minutes, Mr. Leslie's apparatus has this superior; advantage, that ice can be formed of any liquid whatever, besides that the ice which is formed from waterby mr. Levies pump is much purer thanthat of

the ordinary ice house. At an entertaintment given last summer in Bath, it is said that the wine was handed round frozen in the shape of small bunches of grapes. THE SPARK.
