Edwards witnessed the return of the

FINA'NCILVL, 'REFORM.
Monetary Commission Heard by the
House Committee on Currency.
CBy Telvgraph.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.?The mone?
tary commission w?s given a .hearing
I..day by the House committee on bank?
ing a>nd currency on the commission's
bill proposing a comprehensive revision
if the currency. Ex-Senator Edmunds,
if Vermont, chairman ?>f the commis?
sion, headed lh? delegation, and with
him were ex-Sceretary of the Treasury
Fairchild. or New York: J. W. Fries.
North Carolina, representing the gold
Democratic sentiment of the South; T.
J. (Bush. Alabama., and Judge R. S.
Faylor, Indiana, representing 'the m1d
lit-.Wiesi. Seerelary Gage was also !n
it tendance, accompanied by the solic?
itor of the Treasury. Tire hearing at?
tracted much Interest, a number Of the
members of the iHouse. accompanied by
indies, being present.
IMr. GJimunds was 'the first speaker.
Ho said that the fundamental principle
ivbJch the eommlsslorn had felt was to
!>?? considered in establishing a stable
jurrency was. first, to know what the
standard value in thiis country is.and
s ?!.. i- this there were many di?
rer- amon r financial author
'ieved. and he was one
?vaa impossible 'to have
'andard of valuj. If
he question is, what
?1 ? T*? experience
i Imunds said, was
' was the one sub
;ne to which all
_ad?.Iy adjust them1
.i will be the same
..ction closes as it was
" ..ened. The commission felt
-i a thing as a double standard
.ever existed in 'the world through
.oral operations. There had been
ioubVe standards established by law.
:>ut never in fact. When it came to a
aatural standard there could be but
<ne. By law. the United States had a
l. ublie standard'?a- silver coin and a
sold coin?established on the theory
bat they could be maintained at an
-xa.ot equality. ry
Mr. Edmunds- then referred^Mr the
experiences, of the great jia??hs of the
ivorld, ail showing.jhe said, that-a sin
rle standard_me~-int stability and safety,
ivhlfcr-"legsi attempts at double stand
ST?s meant disaster and panic. From
bis universal experience. 'Mr. 'Edmunds
*aid. 'he and bis associates had come
?o the conclusion that the first principle
in which to base a currency was to
lave one standard: that gold is the
?est standard because it is 'the most
?table or all standards- of value, subject
to the least fluctuation from year to
rear andsfrom century to century.
Mr. Edmunds then took up the propo?
sition for a retirement of United States
notes, explaining and urging this on
rhe lines of the commission's report.
Te eh sed with a strong appeal for eaYly
lotion.
As Mr. Edmunds was to be engaged
n 'the Supreme Court tomorrow be
isked that tihe e\i.mmi.t.tee propound
luestions today. This made the discus
;ion general. Representative Cox (Dem
>crat), of Tennessee, propounded a se?
ries of questions intended to bring out
chat the effect of the bill would be to
convert all debts, public and private,
into gold obligations. Mr. Edmunds
answered that it would convert every
government obligation, except a few of
minor form, into gold obligations and,
stated broadly, the effect would be to
make all United 'States obligations pay?
able in gold. IBut as to private Obliga?
tions between citizens Mr. Edmunds
answered emphatically in the negative.
Chairman Walker asked if the bill
was designed to change the legal tender
quality of the standard silver dollar..
Mr, (Edmunds answered that it was
not. The only purpose was to give the
silver dollar a distinct reference to one
fixed standard, without naming a ratio.
Mr. Walker suggested the question of
expediency in carrying so large a ques?
tion before the 'House of 'Representa?
tives, with 356 members ready for
months of debate. Was it desirable, he
asked, to invite such a conflict on many
provisions which are a re-enactment of
the present law? Mr. Edmunds replied
that It depended on the degree of doubt
which the bill cleared up. But on the
general question of practical expedien?
cy, be said, the commission bad report?
ed what it deemed to be essential and
right to a proper adjustment of tihe cur?
rency, and it desired to stick to that
right thing, despite questions of expedi?
ency. This brought a round of ap?
plause, the first of the day, in which
some of the members of the committee
joined.
Representr-tive "Newlands (silverlte),
of Nevada,discussed with Mr. Edmunds
the effect of the bill in eomtraiting the
currency. IMr. Edmunds did not believe
contraction would occur or that bank
reserves would be inj-uriously affected
by having the supply of greenbacks
limited and in part displaced by the de
neand of gild. (Mr. Newlands specified
fire limiitct quantity of gold in this
eoun'try to which Mr. Edmunds replied
that the metal flowed to the point It
was most needed and followed a law
like that of gravitatifai.
?Pursuing his- questions, Mr. Newlands
asked if the world had a sfneiency of
gold.
"Not a sufficiency of gold or of vir- !
tue," answered Mr. Edmunds, "and that
is why we are struggling for both. It
was this thatled to the rush for the
Klondike."
Ex-Secretary Fairchild next spoke on
?the ha'Plcing features of the bill. He
prefaced this, however, by saying that
monetary standards were no more sub?
ject to governmental control than the
tides and winds. It was a natural and
economic operation between Individuals,
<Sn which ef-ch sought the best.
As to backing', !Mr. Fairchiid said; it
was 'Useful to consider how Intelligent
private individuals would conduct
banking, without the aid of law, and
from that Judge what the government
can do. As to the bank note, there was
no essential need of the government be?
ing a factor.
The desire of the banking feature of
the commission's bill was to -facilitate
?the natural operations of banking and
exchange, by adding Che government's
aid toward: rapidity, certainty and safe?
ty of those exchanges.
Mr. -Bush, of Annteton, Ala., a mem?
ber of, the monetary commission, was
next heard. He said It was not to be
to the credilt of any party in power .to
check this movement for currency re?
form, or to fall to embrace the oppor?
tunity to execute It. There was same
who were so 'bound up in the tariff that
?they wished to convince tihe country
?that the tariff would accomplish every?
thing. iBut the tariff would not cure
the vital evils of the currency. It was
quite important for members or Con?
gress to meet -these evils as to furnish
battleships and cruisers as a prepara?
tion tor emergency.
At the close of Mr. 'Bush's statement
The commlttteo adjourned until tomor?
row when 'the hearing will be resumed.

HISTORY OF ICE MAKING.
Unique Methods Followed' by the An
? ctents.
(From Cassier's Monthly.)
The most ancient method of making
ice is practiced in India. Holes are
made in the ground, dry straw is put
at the bottom of these, and on it, at the
close of the day, are placed pans of wa?
ter, which are left until the next morn?
ing, when the ice tiiat is found within
the? pans is collected. This in'.l.ustry is
carried on only in districts where the
ground is d'iy~ and', will readily absorb
the vapor given off from the water in
the pans. The freezing, of course, is
due to the greaf amount of heat ab?
sorbed' by the vapor in passing fr-j ii its
liquid to its gaseous form.
Another process was practiced in the
kluys of ancient Home, when the weal?
thy are said to have had their wines
cooled by having the bottles placed- in
water into which saltpeter was thrown,
the bottles being the while r. tab.d.
'Dr. Collen, in 177t">, dis. oveied that the
evaporation of water could lie facilitated
by the removall of the pressure of the
atmosphere, and that by doing this wa?
ter could', be frozen. Nairn, in 1777, dis?
covered that sulphuric acid would ab?
sorb the vapor- of water If placed in a
second vessel separate fiom that con?
taining the water, but connected with
it. This discovery he put to use in 1S10
by eionsti uetiiig an- apparatus to ab?
sorb the- vapor of the water that it was
dcsir-id to cool or freeze. This appara?
tus greatly facilitated the freezing op?
erations of a vacuum freezing machine.
Ja ob Perkins was the-father of what
is now known as the compression sys?
tem, having imvented the first machine
of the 'kind in 1834. and, as these ma?
chines, improved, are at the present Uay j
more in use than any other, a descrip?
tion of Perkins' patent may be of inter?
est. His apparatus consisted of an In?
sulated vessel, lm which was inclosed a
second vessel containing ether-; a vapar
pump, a worm and', wormtub, a tube be?
tween the second vessel afid the pump,
another between the pump and' the
worm, a third between the worm and
the bottom of the ether vessel, and the
necessary valves.
As afterward constructed, the appara?
tus was made up of a jaekeuia pan,
within which was the water to be cool?
ed-; an Insulated box, in which was plac?
ed the pan; a pump to extraet the va
_po.r.ft3iDv_the' Jacket; a worm in which
the vapor "was- condensed after it left
the pump; a wormtoil-_eontain 1 ng cold
water to coil the worm, dft&Jur means
ei the latter the vapor within fir; TUWL.
pipes connteeting the top of the pan
jacket to the pump, the pump with the
upi>er end of the worm, and the lower
end of the worm with the under side of
the pan jacket. The refrigeiating agent
used with this apparatus was one deriv
ei3 from the- destructive distillation of
caoutchouc. James Harrkon improved
upon Jacob Perkins' apparatus in 1856,
anei it has been further improved by
many others since.
HAS A DOG ? SOUL?
An Old Seat Captain's Query In Vers?. ,
Love Is Not Mean.
Here is a story which illustrates in an in?
teresting manner the fashion in which
dogs often work their way Into tho hearts
of people who begin by excluding tbem.
It is told by a correspondent in Detroit: j
"When I was a hoy, I lived in a town not
many miles from Boston and became tho
possessor of a black Better. My father in
his early years had been a sea captain,
and, like most sea captains, was very
proud of his kitchen garden. When tho
subject of a dog was broached, he always
put bis foot down very hard and said that
he would not have a dog tearing up his
garden. Somehow or other his objec?
tions were overruled, and I got the dog,
and he did play havoc in the garden. But,
strange to say, my father became very
much attached to the dog, and they soon
became the best of friends. Every Sunday
they went to walk together with one of
my father's friends, and the dog grew to
know when Sunday came, and after din?
ner would race up and down and keep
running out to see when my father's
friend would come. When they started,
he was off like the wind. My father and
the dog were very much in sympathy in
many ways. After my father died I found
the verses which I inclose in his pcokot
book. I have kept them ever sinco, and
never read them without thinking of the
pleasant times we hod together."
Tho verses inclosed with this letter are
I by Pearl Rivers and include these stanzas:
Is there for you no "other side,"
No home beyond death's chilly tido
Arid heavy fog
Where meekness ?nd fidelity
Will meet reward although you be
Only it dog 1
" He has no soul!" How know you that T
What have we now that had not Mat
Save idle speech ?
If from the Bible I oan read
Him soulless, then I own no creed
The prcaoherB pleach.
Who, by the way, can tell whence tho
following extract comes?
"And if any creature whom thou lovest
sulfereth death and depaxteth from thee,
though the soul beloved be little and
mean, a creature not made in the likeness
of men, know that in the eyes of lovo t hero
is nothing little -nor poor. O little soul,
thou art mighty if a child of God love
thee) Yea, poor and simple soul, thou art
possessed of great richest Bettor la thy
portion than tho portion of kings whom
the curse of the oppressed puraueth, for,
as love is strong to sedeero and to advance
a soul, so la hatred strong to torment
and to detain. LoveJrqdeeruoth, love Hftath
op, love enlightentragV low adv&ncefch
