A Yankee farmer in Brazil who longed for ice water has atilized a kits for the purpose of obtainiug ice. He filis a tin can with water and sends it to the height of three miles, where it ís promptly frozen. After a sufflcient interval the kite is rapidlyhauled in and the cake of ice secured. The inventor is so pleased with his toy that it is said he now proposes to send up a kite 150 feet long by a steel wire cable. Under the kite will be suspended a pnlley, over which runs an endless chain bearing cans attached to hooks. The cans will be fllled with water and the speed of the belt npon which they will run will be regulated so that the topmost oans will be converted into ice sufficiently hard to withstand the downward journey.
