a few days aso, and ? at the Victoria Hotel. II?? Is
a fall, broad-shouldered man, with a clear com

characteristic of sn inventor. lu cou venati ou with
a I'BinuNB reporter be described abat he hoped to
accomplish by uie;,us of his ico machino in luskiog
ice and ventilatine; houses.
?? The problem of artificial refrigeration," he said,
" is one of the irreal problems of the day. Indeed,
taken in its relations to tin? relief of suffering? the
introduction of ao sdegnate system ot ventilation,
ami the proper provisioning oi cities, I know oi
nono that is equal to it in importance. I have
worked at it coutinnonsly for a dozen years, ami I
am preparo?! to say Iba I m uo American city of any
importance cuti natural ice begiu to ?upplv the
wants of the coiiiuiunity. Gradually ice machines
have been Improved, nut all have been suited to
extremely limited production and have worked
bettor in winter than in summer. The revolution
to in? effected then is to have ap adequate supply of
?it? from large machines, cooling air, water and
produce on s ?>??? sesie
" How m.iv tins become practicable f
u A machine capable of making 500 tons of ?ce a
day requires only the same skill to run it that a teu?
ton machine does, under a system whereby ateam
and condensing water is Isrgely dispensili with.
As to the cost of production, artificial ice will cost
little moi??, if any, per fou than is expended in
cutting ami Storing natural ii e on the river hank.
Transportation end storsge, you see, sre tho inani
onuses oi luiih prices and irregular supply. Tbe
distrili,itio,? ?if natural ice throughout the country
is very unequal, and most unequal whore ice is most
needed in the Southern States."
?? Would not the msunfai ture of artificial ios ob ?
large scale meet with great opposition on the part
??I the m? companiesf
"afosi tei fallili'. They have systematically op?
posed the only system winch obviously must soon
secure Ihe pi,'?die cheaper ice."
"Von siso propuse ventilating pu Id io buildings
alni private lun.-es by means of the ice machine
How can this las donef
" Well, in the hist placo engineers hsvs agr.I
that to cool and emulate air iu overheated dwell?
ings is practically impossible. In mv opinion, no
method of forciug air into ??ml through buildiug?
can begin to compare m point of economi snd
oil,eie,icy with that of the inculai ion ol cold, or as
1 hai e called it. ' glacial [?filiation.' livery meilii al
man and engineer to whom I have explained tins
system admits its adaptability."
" What is the principle of distribution T"
" It is very simple. Asoverybod) knows, cobi air
ilesteiiiis ami hn| sir , .se?.. ? ? urici t of I ir could

to ?.-it?- risi, to the ascendingcolnmn. Supply cold
at the proper place and you nave also a descending
column."
"Would Ihe machine then be put in an elevated
posit um 1"
" At the top of the bnilding. There the air can be
taker and cooled above the ?.Its ami dust of tho
city where u is free from impurities Itv this sys?
tem a whole block ot buildings could .In- supplied
with cool pute ait that would produce a uniform
temperature ami couhl be regulated at pleasure."
j? (low would the expeiiee of this system compara
with thai of l'ititi .ni-, an into buildings |,y mechan?
ism T"
'? I he cost in rotimi terms would not exceed one
sixili as much It would not approach the cost of
heating s boues by the consumption ol coal m ? he
winter season. Bo you sec people can seonrc by this
met nod as comfortable a temperature in tlu-ir
houses in summer as in winter, 'Ihe methods will
apply equally well to large bnildinga like the
Capitol at Washington? which la poorly ventilated
-to public halls, theatres, school buildings snd
eliurt lies. In a word ait ot absolute nurity can he
blown through buildings of any uiuwnsious in
absolutely limit leas quantities."
" How many Ions of ice can a machino be made to
produce a day T"
11 Tbey can be made large enongh to tasks 1,000
tons a day, but in practice those producing 100 tous
a day would be sufficiently Isrge."
" Uo you think that the projected ziro-niotor will
piovi? a success ? '
"From iii.v punii of view it can't, fail of success.
Already we nave a low-pressure engine working In
conjunction with a steam engins, 1 have set to
find a competent authority ou theory lu heat who
does not acknowledge the sounduosi of my position.

that I had that Thomas had been slow. I was very

tardiness on the pan of General Thomas, and was
very much afraid thai while he wns lying there al

might cross the Tennessee River either above or
