A SIMPLE COOLING DEVICE - -"■' ■ . ■''" Invented by « St. Pnul Man, and Docs Its Work Surprisingly Well. ■•" "EA er in a cold storage house? No! Well, just step in here with the Globe and get a cool sensation. Frozen stiff on a hot June day all the delicacies of all the seasons, from little red strawberries to big black bears, present themselves. Within these walls Minnesota has become Siberia, yet the only ghostly presence amidst the shadows to ac count for the very, "eager and nip ping air" are certain broad bands of glistening and almost phosphores cent white across the ceiling and along the walls. But no heart throbs Avith superstitious fear be neath a silken doublet, no knightly hand rests upon a trembling sword hilt. In this scene there is nothing medieval, dramatic, poetic or phil osophic, for it is but the interior of the cold storage rooms of the Thurs ton Cold Storage and Warehouse company, 211 Eagle street. This establishment is not merely the. only one of its kind at present in the Northwest, but its business has grown so rapidly that, within the last few months, its capacity has been increased five fold. It has now no less than 40,000 cubic feet of cold storage room. Its patronage comes from every direction." Quantities of perishable food products are shipped into, the Thurston ware house from sections of Minnesota and the neighboring states.' Eggs and butter constitute at least half the contents of the cooling cham bers. There haA-e been stored here at one time over one million pounds of butter and ten thousand cases of eggs. But many other things are as perishable as butter and eggs. Not to speak of earthly fame and fe male loveliness, there are meat, game", fish and fruit. It might be imagined- that in the chilly breath of refrigeration, as under the EQUAL FOOT OF FRIGID DEATH, all these objects would meat' a com mon fate —pigeons would nestle along si-j> if pickerel, bananas afford - a hiding place for bass, and eels encircle eggs. This, howeA-er, could not be per mitted. Sweet sympathy cannot be chilled into non-existence, but only a lofty spirit can appreciate the gusta tory evidence that brook trout has not been forgotten by condoling veal, or th it eggs and pineapples can relate a common chapter of Arctic horrors. Therefore the separation between the varieties of "cold victuals" is rigid and unvarying. Game amd meat are stored together, but eggs, butter, fruit and fish are fii^vays kept in distinct apartments. The reason for this is very evident from the atmosphere of the several rooms. The aroma of the fish room identities the genuine odor of sanctity that emanated from the apostles of the Galilean shore. It is pionoir-nced and absolute. Not even a garbage -inspector could fall. to recog nize its existence. In the fruit room, however, the mingled perfume of oranges and dates is as delightful as it la rare In the land of the Dacofah3. Closing his eyes, .a visitor might be lieve himself along the shores of the Guadalquiver rather than of the Mis sissippi, in the famous gardens of Damascus, listening to the song of the bull ul. rather than on Eagle street hearkening to faint echos of the risque music on South Washington. CAN. KEEP ANYTHING. Game, meat, fish, and butter keep best in an atmosphere lowered to about 7 or 8 deg. above zero. Eggs are al most in a freezing temperature at 33 deg. above. Tropical fruit, born in the shadow of the equator, cannot be taken with impunity to the region of the poles. Cold greater than 36 above does such fruit more harm than bene fit. At these temperatures all of tho articles mentioned can be kept in al most perfect condition for one or two years. It is Impossible to decide whether an egg so preserved has been en egg for ten months or ten weeks. The Thurston warehouse Is not mere ly a cold storage warehouse. It also Includes a large amount of space de voted to general storage of all kinds. Besides, several spacious and secure apartments are utilized by the general government as a United States bonded warehouse. All of the merchandise held in bond by the local custom house is stored by the Thurston company. The government custom house prop er, Including, as it does, the postofiice and many other governmental de partments, has long ceased to afford a foot of storage room for imports. <". B. Thurston is both superintend ent of the Thurston warehouse com. pany and government storekeeper in charge of the bonded warehouse. This is a high compliment to Mr. Thurston's abstemious habits, for the usual con tents of the bonded warehouse are an alluring combination of HaA-ana to bacco and Canadian whisky. A cold storage warehouse naturally seeks for the cheapest and most effec tive system of refrigeration. The di rect employment of ice Is attended by many inconveniences; The Thur ston company formerly used ice, but three years ago It inaugurated a more modern method, putting in a fifteen ton Hercules artificial "ice machine." The machine Is so called owing to its common employment in producing ar tificial ice. More properly It Is a "cold machine," for its direct object is the production of artificial cold through the expansion of compressed ammonia. This latter process of refrigeration is not only among the oldest in practi cal us?, but it is by far the most gen erally employed and the most success ful. The Thurston company has re cently added to his fifteen-ton machine another one of similar construction. EXPECTANT MOTHERS - We Offer' YOU "A' REMEDY Which .

The capacity of the latter, however, Is sixty tons of Ice per day. * Thus the Thurston company., will hereafter .be prepared to -congeal -five, times as much perishable food as heretofore. - THE MOTIVE POWER -.'■?-. for the large machine, or "^ammonia compressor; is an eighty-horse power Corliss engine, cconnecter;d r ; with :'- two 7T)-horse pojver boilers. The compress or appears' to the non»professional to to be simply a large double pump, the pistons of which are attached to either end of a "teeter board contriv ance like the walking beam of ; a marine engine so that « the contents ;of each cylinder are compressed alternately. The cylinders each measure 12 by 80 inches and are most substantially constructed. The piston, at the end of its movement, comes within a fraction of an inch of the cylinder head, so that thearnmonla gas is thus reduced to one^flve-hun dreth part of its former dimeirelons. The pressure exerted is not "less? than lt» pounds to the square Inch."..*.*; The charge of ammonia necessary to supply the entire c plant is the con tents of four so called "drums." These drums hold the pure anhydrous, or "waterless," ammonia as it is received from the manufacturers." A -drum is a cast iron tube, three or four feet long and a foot in diameter, and has the solid, yet explosive,* appearance of steam boiler. The ; drum contains 105 pounds of liquid ammonia 7 ,'?* costing about thirty-seven cents a pound-. Six of these drums afford sufficient am monia for the entire 60-ton plant.' and so slight is the loss from the original charge that but one additional-_d"fu*m is needed during a full year. J-^-aTJ-arge tank, 40 by 14 by 6 feet, is coiled 3,000 feet of one-Inch pipe. This pipe. is -sur rounded by a brine composed of v-nter and chloride of calcium, which is 'bet ter adapted for the purpose than ordi nary brine formed of water and chlo ride of sodium. When the charge of ammonia is about to-- be utilized in a refrigerating plant, the compressor 13 set to work so as to pump out; the air from the pipes within the brine tank. Then a drum of ammonia is screwed to a supply pipe, and its contents are conducted by suction into the empty pipes within the tank. The ammonia, as stated, is liquid when within the drum. The supply pipe that it first enters is of slight dimensions, but when it reaches the one-inch" pipes within the tank it finds plenty of room to expand. Now the expansion of liquid ammonia into gas produces an intense cold. Thus the surrounding brine is speedily reduced to a tem perature of about 2 deg above zero. This cold brine has only to be pumped through pipes traversing all the cold storage rooms to effectively secure the desired ' refrigeration. WhereAer the brine goes it so lowers the external temperature of the pipes through which it passes that the lat ter are constantly covered with a half-inch coating of pearly, dripping ice; and the appearance of these enormous icicles in almost direct con tact Avith hot boilers and with other pipes from which arise constant puffs of fervid steam, is one of the curiosi ties of a cold storage warehouse. The ammonia, after it has become gaseous in the brine tank, proceeds to the compressor. There it is sub jected to the violent compression here tofore mentioned. It leaves the com pressor not yet liquid, but with a very marked disposition 'to become liquid. Ascending to the roof it passes into a mass of pipes, resembling an enor mous steam radiator about ten feet high and twenty feet square. These pipes are covered by a roof but sur rounded by lattice, work only, so„ as to feel the effects of eA'ery breeze. Over the pipes trickles day and night cold water from the company's own artesian well.. The cool reception which the ammonia here meets quick ly develops its retiring tendencies, and It shrinks again into a perfect liquid. The liquid now proceeds to the brine tank, again expands, and the process is indefinitely repeated. DRIED BY WATER. A St. Paul man, H. N. Molloy, is the Inventor of a system of refrigeration that is fast coming into general use for real cold work on a large scale. When Interviewed, Mr. Molloy was chary of giving any very detailed in formation regarding the technical de tails of his invention. But the report er went down to the storage ware house of the Schlitz Brewing company —which, by the way, is one of the old est buildings in the city, directly op posite the union depot on Sibley street —and Manager Philip Sittman showed him'through a large and costly refrig erator the company' has? had built in side the warehouse. Briefly stated, Molloy utilizes run ning water, the waste of ice piled on peculiar platforms at either end of the refrigerator. These platforms are close to the ceiling, and underneath the outer edge is a capacious pan, or re ceiver, through Avhich the ice-cold water is continually flowing. Of course, there are A-entilators, but that's all there Is! to it. Manager Sittman said he puts three car loads of beer dally into the refrigerator, the packages all wet from the refrigerator cars, and in a few hours they are as dry as though no dampness was within a mile of them, and as cool as the nose of a polar bear. When the Globe man entered the box he instinctively turned up his coat collar, for the temperature ranges between 34 and 36. The casks were absolutely without moisture, and afterward a meat box Avas visited, where the same cold and dry condi tions prevailed. Malloy has grown up in refrigerators, but like many other inventors it took him a long time to put his ideas into practice. Cold storage • houses were shy until Drake Bros, let him build a refrigerator for, them in the first cold storage warehouse established in St. Paul. Then the famous Marquis de Mores took Malloy with him when he went out on the Dakota plains to revo lutionize cattle raising and meat pack ing in the West. St. Paul was to be the head center for the fiery French man's vast enterprise, but his manage ment was faulty and he failed, as Avill be remembered. • - When the Schlitz company invested heavily in St. Paul as a city sure to become a great metropolis, Manager Sittman gave Malloy free swing, with a . wide limit on expense, and since then he has been as busy as a bee building big refrigerators in the North west. 7 .*.."';.-.': The Nickel Plate Road has published a map of Boston, Mass., showing. the ; .location of the Christian Endeavor Convention Hall and State.Headquar ters of the Fourteenth International Convention, July 10 to 15, and pre senting the merits of their through Drawing Room Sleeping Car Line-be tween Chicago and Boston.

'.: .^vy | The English, statistician, * Michael • G. Milhall, publishes in the June number of the North-American Re-, view, just issued, an article on "The Power and /"Wealth of the United States."' Mr. Milhall's conclusion is that, "if we take a survey of man kind in ancient or modern times as regards the physical, mechanical I and intellectual force of nations, we \ find nothing to compare with the ■ United States in this present year of 1895, and that the United States possesses by far the greatest pro- , ductive power in the world. * He ' asserts that the absolute effective C. H. BONN, • 7? Delegate to National Convention of Theatrical Stage Employes, Boston. ji force of the American people is now more than three times what it was in 1860, and that the United States possesses ' almost as' much energy as Great Britain, Germany and France collectively, and? that the ratio falling to each American is more than what two Englishmen or Germans have at their disposal." He points out by careful com parison between the conditions in these different countries that an or- I dinary farm hand in the United j States raises as much-grain as three j in England, four in France, five in Germany or six in Austria. One man ' in America can produce as much flour as will feed 250 persons, where as in Europe one man feeds j only thirty persons. " Mr. Milhall calls special attention to the fact that the ' intellectual power of the great re public is in harmony with the in dustrial and mechanical, 87 per cent of the total population over 10 years of age being able to read and write. "It may be fearlessly asserted," he said, "that in the history of the human race no nation ever before possessed 41,000,000 instructed citi zens." In classifying the whole wealth of the Union under the two heads of urban and rural, he finds that rural agricultural wealth has only quadrupled in forty years, while urban Avealth has increased sixteen fold. In an important series of fig ures it is shown that "rise in wealth and the increase in AA'ages came -al- j most hand in hand." In dealing with the development of farm values Mr. Milhall makes the following statement: "If the United States had no urban population or indus tries whateA'er, the adA-ance of ag ricultural interests would be enough \ to claim the admiration of mankind, for it has no parallel in history." It is refreshing to hear the advocates of tariff claim that the American laborer gets more wages than those of any other country. In the face of these facts he produces from three to six times as much, but does he get six or even three times the wages? '. The mistake has been that these political economists have taken the time employed as a basis in stead of the amount produced. Equity Avould seem to demand pay ment for the amount produced, rath er than the time employed, because the fund from which all wages must come is derived from the sale of the product. It is a startling fact that the urban wealth has increased four times as fast as rural wealth when we realize that more than one- ( third of our agricultural lands have j been brought^ under cultivation in j the time mentioned. Generally speaking, but little is do- | Ing among the various unions during ! the present month outside of electing j new officers. June is a month of elec- I tions, and naturally ■ Interest centers in a large degree upon the matter of who is to fill the executive positions at the disposal of the rank and file. A new interest will naturally follow the Installation of new blood and energy, and the next few months promise ac tivity all along the line. To discuss labor and the Interests and rights of labor demands intellect- j ual faculties free from the warp and | twist imposed by creeds and dogmas, since intolerance in one thing is cer tain to beget illiberality in all other matters. To comprehend fully the wants and rights of labor. it Is es sential that a man's life must have been at some time in. 'close 'touch. with labor. It must haA-e had experience in its struggles, must have known its aspirations and hopes, its disappoint ments and fears. President Debs, of the American Railway union, '. has sent out a circu lar addressed to all local unions con taining special instructions in regard to the work of I reorganization. ? Mr. Debs is in high spirits over the pros pects for the future of the order. Re turns are coming in from the North west and the Pacific slope as a result of his tour through -" that section a month ago. Fourteen organizers have been at work in his wake. Old local unions demoralized by the | strike jof last year are being re-established and new. ones instituted. It is claimed that the entire force of the .employes of the Great Northern will be on the roll with the new fiscal * year, and s that a large majority of the Southern Paci fic" men will become members. ' ' [ The national labor commissioner, Carroll* D. Wright, was authorized by the ; last congress to publish an > official labor bulletin. The first number will be published in July. The bulletin will be similar to the English Labor : Ga zette, which has been regularly re viewed. in this department. It wilL be of great value in showing { industrial changes which take place from time to .time, and .will give current official information. , The bulletin* will' be mailed to any person making ap plication for it. Those who desire it will do well to apply early. • A legal controversy of more than or dinary interst to the labor unions.of this country is now going on in New York city. A local branch of the United Garment Workers - of i that city . made an agreement with the employing con tractors, ; after a costly strike concern ing wages and other, conditions of em ployment. '. .The employers • were ob liged ' to ' give bonds -for 'the faithful performance of their part 'of the con tract'. 7 After some time a number of these contractors, found their contract Irksome and began to question its le gality, : and eventually ' disregarded it; altogether. Thereupon the Tailors' union instituted a suit against one of these contractors and was , awarded' $403 as damages. The case will at once be tested in the higher courts, so that this matter may for all time be set tled. 7 «.' 7 7 " " ?
