After c'll one of veara of evolution, evolu-tion, Katun, haa finally avolvsd a being be-ing wleer than bereelf a&d able te Improve upon her In many dlreotune. For Inatance, wltnaaa the refrigerator, refrigera-tor, the annlhllator of climate, ths Invention by which aunrmer-e heat la neutralised and the ortep air of De-eember De-eember la made ta prevail la the etu-try etu-try heat of July. . ' The Inventor of tha refrigerator was a Frenchman named Carre.- The invention in-vention waa brought out la this ooua-try ooua-try In the year 1160. Thua wss founded the soealled ammonia am-monia absorption praceea, la which a eclutlon of auueoua ammonia ta employed, em-ployed, being first generated as a gia. then cendeneed. and (hen allowed to expand and alteorb the heat. Ammonia bolle at the lew temperature tempera-ture of 11 Ve degreee Fahrenheit. It le therefore very easy to oonvert it from the liquid form into the gaseoue; and thla change raleea the preeeure of the ammonia greatly, then by leading tha ammonia through plpee that are kept cold by flowing water, the ammonia am-monia eaa be further condensed. There la alee the "compression system.' sys-tem.' In which the ammonia Is si-lowed si-lowed te expaad Into a gas, te be sua. lected to preeeure by a steam pump. This eompreeeloa Increases the heat of tho ammonia gas, and by then peealag the ammonia through cot la of sloe and making It eotd again, the enimonle'te reduced to the condition eftiere It seeka to regale Ita beat By allowing It ta expand In ptpea surrounding a tana of water, the ammonia am-monia reducea the temperature of the water, and by continuing the process the water la brought below a temperature tem-perature of Is degrees and beoamea Thua It comes abaeit that, by ths help of a Utile, coal, water and ammonia am-monia we can x make winter In the midst of summer, with all the results that follow. ' The refrigerator thua raring all neceeeltles end dalntlea to Ua, aa matter mat-ter where we may be.
