Ice making bt steam.—We learn from
our London exchanges, that Mr. Harrison
of Geelong, colony of Victoria, has invented
an ice making machine, driven by steam
power, capable of turning out ten thousand
pounds of solid ice per day. The process is
very simple, as will be seen by the following
description:
The refrigeration is produced by the evap-
oration of ether in a vacuum: and the pecu-
liarity of the invention consists in the ar-
rangements for evaporating the ether at a
low temperature, and condensing it at a
higher, precisely the reverse of ordinary
evaporating processes. Theether is contain-
ed air-tight vessels, relieved from the
pressure of the atmosphere. The cylinder
in the centre of the apparatus is fitted with
valves, so that each stroke of the piston
withdraws a quantity of ether vapor from
the lefthand vessels, and forces it into a
condensing vessel on the righthand. Where
the vapor is raised, an intense cold is pro-
duced; where it is condensed, a correspond-
ing degree of heat is envoived. The ether,
after resuming the liquid slate, returns by
a self regulating valve to the evaporating
vessel, and the process thus continues unin-
terruptedly, without requiring any atten-
tion, and without the slightest waste of ma-
terial."
The expense of the process is merely that
of motive power, the ice is formed in block
moulds of any size required. This invention
will be invaluable in hot climates, where ice
is a priceless luxury, and has to be trans-
ported from northern climes at immense
cost, and is then only obtainable on the sea
-board; whilst by this new method it can
be made anywhere at an outside cost of t wo
dollars and a half per ton. In tropical coun-
tries, where fevers prevail, ice is one of the
necessary adjuncts to the effecting of cures,
and were it readily obtainable, bow many
valuable lives might be saved. Nor does the
utility of the invention rest on making ice
alone, for it is applicable to the cooling ol
meats, and the salting of provisions in hot
climates, and many other purposes, where
a reduction of temperature is required. Mr.
H.ARRison will indeed become entitled to
the appellation of a benefactor to society.

following :—
Liverpool, Friday, April 23
My Dear Nephew :■—1 wrote you two
sheets this morning, but was called away be-
fore I had quite finished, and now I have-
just got through with the day, and had my
tea, I will hurry to finish your letter before
any one calls. There is no rest for the wicked
ind no accomplishment without great labor.
I have just had a very hard day, and between
tlie hurrahs, the rush of people, the lecture,
the breaking of these very bad horses, (one
so as to be shod,)the excitement and the per-
fect volley of all manner of questions, I leel
very much like leaning back in my chair
and taking a snooze.
They tried to bring some horses to-day to
defeat me, but they couldn't come it, and
(, as usu il, came off victorious, amid the
loud cheers of a class of about one hundred
scholars.
I wish you could be here just one day to
s6e how enthusiastic the people are. This
morning when I stepped into the school and
took off my hat, they set up such a cheering
and clapping of hands that made everything
ring, so animating me that I was full of elo-
quence,and addressed them^with asmuch en-
thusiasm as though I was a second Kossuth.
The streets outside of the building were
crowded, and when I rode out on the back
of a vicious stallion tha^no man had been
able to mount for three years, they too set
up a loud hurrah for the great American
that they think I am. They don't know that
I am nobody but your Uncle Jack, that used
to break horses in the little town of Groveport.
Well, the name American sounds well and,
[ think I would be justifiable in being proud
of the name,if I am not of myself. I wouldn't
like to be called the great Frenchman or the
greatf Englishman. Nothing carries with'it
so much music as the name of American, etc*,
etc. As ever, your friend and uncle,
J. S. Rarey."
A Moral Lesson.—Away down East,
Isaac Walkins and Joseph Story, intent on
trout, went a fishing last week upon the
marge of Blueberry Pond, vulgarly called
Lake Winnemumphremagog. Ike threw
his line, unfairly, before Joe could arrange
his bait, and incontinently hooked a fish.
But the scaly prey would not willingly leave
its element and worried its captor exceeding
ly. At length the excited spoiler plunged
into the water ten foot deep, and actually
drowned while struggling to secure his
prize!
[Here's a moral lesson, my masters, for
the benefit of all dabblers in corporation
stocks, and speculators in beans and cran-
berries!] *
Joe Story, with great ado, recovered tbe
body. The right hand grasped firmly the
fishing rod, and at the end of the line
swung the likewise detunct trout—the lat-
ter weighing two pounds, while Isaac's
gravity was estimated at one hundred and
twenty-one; net loss 119 pounds. Joe, who
owed the deceased a long unpaid grudge,
remarked irreverently, that the prayer ol
that irascible wag, Peter Pindar, had in
this case been literally answered :—
"G,d give thee strength, O, gentle trdut,
Tofull the rascal in !"
