ICE-CREAM ON THE OCEAN.
lllg Hteamers Take It from New \ork for
the Koand Trip.
Ice-cream has such a peculiar power
of disappearing, or rather of speedily
resolving itself into a substance w lii eli
belies its name, that it might seem ill-
adapted for an article of export. \et
when properly packed it. may be kept
for weeks and even months. This being
true, it can be and is transported by
land and water to great distances. All
the ocean steamers leaving New York
city for Europe and for the southern
and West Indian ports are supplied here
with ice-cream, not only for their out-
■ward but for their return voyage as
well. New York has a monopoly of this
trade and it is chiefly confined to two
or at most three companies. The cream
which is to travel thousands of miles be-
fore being used is made in precisely the
tame way as that for the domestic trade
and there is practically no difference in
its taste after weeks of freezing.
All steamers have ft "cold room ' in
the hold, in which is placed a huge re-
frigerator, made especially for the pur-
pose of holding ice-eream. It consists
oX £ wooden l>ox. verv heavilv
all
nuiiL and lined with zinc. Within this
is a square receptacle for tlie ice-cream. ,
much smaller than t he inside of the box, i
as to allow plenty of space for iee j
around it. The ice-cream is brought '
down to the steamer in large tubs,each j
containing 40 quarts, put up in the I
usual oblong quart bricks.
The tubs are taken aboard the vessel |
and unloaded belowT. One by one the I
quart bricks are packed snugly away I
in the great, square receptacle in the j
refrigerator. These cans, as they may |
be called, vary in size, the largest, such j
as is used, for instance, on the steamer
New York, containing about 650 quarts.
Previous to the filling, a solid mass of
cracked ice and salt has l>ee.n packed
into the space between the sides of the
can and the box walls. The employes of
the cream company direct the ship's
hands as to the proper replenishment
of this ice and salt, a process which
must be gone through each day. The
temperature of the cream is kept in the j
neighborhood of zero all the time.
When needed for the table, the bricks
are taken out through a small door in
the top of the 1>ox, that there may be as
little exposure as possible to the com-
paratively warm outside air.
Although the ice-cream thus shipped
is in almost every case meant, only for
use aboard the steamer, there is at least
one company in this city which has
customers in the West Indies, and thus
actually exports its wares, in the com-
mon meaning of the word. The trade is
small as yet and was brought about
entirely through the steamship com-
panies.
Sending ice-cream from this city
out into the country by rail is also an
important branch of the business.
The distances are far more limited than
when it can 1k sent by water, owing to
The amount of the express charges.
The process also is simpler, for, on
account of the rapidity of transporta-
tion, no refrigerators are necessary
and the tubs are placed directly upon
the cars. Towns and country villages
within a radius of 100 to 200 miles of
New York are supplied with most of
their ice-cream from here. Despite
the number of patent "home" freezers
advertised, the methods of which are
warranted to be lightning-quick and
infallible, the number of people making
their own ice-cream is comparatively
small. Many have tried it and many
have failed. After a course of watery or
gritty concoctions, which bore only an
extremely faint resemblance to the de-
sired article, the amateurs have usually
returned to the kind manufactured by
some well-known metropolitan firm.--

DEMONS IN HUMAN FORM.
from Itecorrit* of Armenian
Out niRi's.
One grows sick of reading of th<
abominable outrages of Turk and Kurc
in Armenia, and yet it is history anc
current history, too, the pity of it.
II. 11. Yan Meter, a son of Rev. W
C. Yan Meter, for a long time a mis
sionary in Armenia, has prepared i
brief review of the records of Armenia
outrages. These records have been
carefully prepared by Mr. Yan Meter
and are full of interest.
Mr. Van Meter gives an account o1
the diplomatic relations between Tur-
key and the other powers, and the ef-
forts of the Russians to protect the Ar- '
menian Christians. Continuing, he j
says:
"If an Armenian waif seen speaking |
v ith a foreigner, he was cast into prison !
and punished as a conspirator, and for- !
eigners were treated as spies of the!
powers and agitators against the Turk- j
ish government.
"In iso.'l Kurdish raids upor. the Chris-
tian villages, instigated and eincour '
aged, if not actually ordered by tlie j
Turkish government, to cause a de* !
fense, to be declared a conspiracy, drovf j
the Armenians to desperation.
"Those brave mountaineers defend
ed their homes till winter intervened
and prevented the fulfillment of tin
official programme of robbery, outrage
and death that year, but their so-called
rebellion was made a pretext for mas
saere.
"Early in 1S94 the Kurdish devili
were let loose again, with directions tc
destroy the Christians, confiscating
their property and appropriating what-
ever was worth carrying away witL
them, including women and childrer
as well as cattle.
"An army of Turks, more cruel thai
the cruel Kurds themselves, was senttc
see to it that the diabolical work o;
rapine, torture and extermination wai
not thwarted again by the bravery ol
the brawny mountaineers.
"The district of Sassoun w as declarer:
to be in 'rebellion' against the govern
ment.
"Fathers and brothers, husbands anc
friends lay dying or dead, mangled anc
mutilated beyond recognition, whil-
women and girls were done to death bj
imperial permits or orders, to satiatt
the lust of their brutal ravishers.
"All who came to hand, women, chil
Iren and young girls, were massacred
and the pursuit of the others was con
tinned. Previously the Kurds and sol
diers together had set tire to the
houses, plundered the furniture, house-
hold goods and cattle; the Kurds car
l ied away their booty, but part of the
cattle was reserved for the army, whe
had the beasts killed to feed the sol-
diers. One portion of the fugitives whe j
were destitute came with a priest t<
surrender to the soldiers. They mad«
these same people who came to surren-
der dig trenches. When night came i
these jx'ople—that is, those who had j
surrendered—were, brought to the j
trenches., .massacred with the bayonet,
and cast into the saio trenches; sonit
who had not been bayoneted threw
themselves alive into the trenches."—

MICROBES NOT ADMITTED.
A Doctor IIhh Unlit u llouno from \\ hU-l)
Bacteria Are Excluded.
Dr. W. Yan der llayden, a Dutcl:
bacteriologist w ho lives in Japan, hits
built himself a house in Yokohama
from w Inch microbes are ubsolutely ex-
cluded. This is a very pleasant place
for a man wli > is terribly familiar with
the prevalence and powers of the mi-
cro be.
The doctor's house is a dust-proof,
air-proof, microbe-proof building oi
glass. It stands on the open, unshaded
••rounds of the general hospital of Yo-
kohama. The house is 44 feet high, 23
feet wide and IT feet high. Large panes
of glass, half an inch thick and about
four inches apart, are set in iron frames
so as to form the sides of a cellular
building block. Of these blocks the
walls are constructed. There are no
window sashes, the air escajje being
through several openings around the
upper part of the second story, but
through which no air from the outside
is admitted.
The air supply is obtained from a
considerable distance, forced through a
pipe and carefully filtered through cot-
ton wool to cleanse it of bacteria. Tc
insure further sterilization the air is
driven against a glycerin-coated plate
of glass, which captures all the mi-
crobes the wool spares. The few mi-
crobes brought into the house in the
clothes of visitors soon die in the warm
sunlight with which the house is
flooded.
The space between the glasses of the
building blocks is filled with a solution
of salts, which absorbs the heat of the
sun, so that the rooms of this house are
much cooler than those protected by
the thickest shades. In the evening
the evening the interior is heated by
the salts radiating the heat w hich they
have absorbed during the day. So ef
fective is the system of regulating the
temperature that a few hours of sun-
light, even in freezing weather, will
render the house habitable. It is only
when several cloudy days follow in suc-
cession that artificial heat is needed
Then it is supplied by pumping in hot
air. Dr. Yan der Hayden thinks he ha*
solved the problem of complete germi-
cide on a big scale.—N. Y. Journal.

Licence Clerk Saluionson, the geniui |
who presides over that department o|
the Chicago city hall which issues mar- j
riage permits to those, who have
yearning for trotting in double harne-su j
through life, has seen so much of the j
humorous and pathetic in his many
years' experience with the swains of all
sorts and conditions that it takes a good
deal nowadays to surprise him. Until
iceently he did not think he could come
across any tiling new, but he has. Ona
day recently a couple appeared at the
window and asked for the regulation li-
cense. The man was a sturdy looking
young mechanic neatly but not flashily
dressed. His companion was a little
woman with a rubicund face, blue eye.,
and blonde hair. She leaned on the
young fellow's arm with an apparent
confidence so absolute that had anyono
doubted the depth of the young wom-
an's affection for her robust fiance he
would have l>een reassured then ami
there.
The preliminaries were gone through
with all right. The young fellow gave
his name, age and residence without t.h<j
least hesitation. And then the clerk
turned to the young woman and asked
the fateful question:
"What's your age?"
A faint blush stole over the cheeks ol
the young woman and she looked ap-
peal ingly at her escort.
"I'd rather not tell him," she said tc
her fiance; "it's none of his busings."
"Come on, now," said the matter-of-
fact. clerk, "how old are you? Bo
quick about it, too. I've got no time to
fool away."
The blush over her cheek deepened
and she moved uneasily about.
"Must I tell?" she tremblingly
asked.
"That's the law," answered the cleric.
The young woman turned around t:
see that no one was within hearing dis-
tance, and then blushed more furiously
than ever. She leaned over to the clerk.
"I'll whisper it to you," she said, and
she did.
Two minutes later the couple- left the
room, their faces braining with happi-
ness. Clerk Salmon son might have told
them that their names won hi l>e pub-
lished in the next list of marriage li-
censes. but where ignorance is bliss he
decided to keep silent.
She I)ld the Kent."
"And you broke off the engage-
ment?" said one young man.
"Yes—not brutally, you know. But
I managed it."
"How?"
"Told her what my salary is.*—
