A rough structure. twenty feet square and fifteen feet high, doublé throughout and filled in to the thickness of nine inches with broken char coal, chaff or saw-dust, built in the open air, will keep ice secure! y. Ice should be separated from the building on the inside, by a layer of chafí, saw-dust or hay; and the place of entrance should be at the top.

The expectation that thnt the ice made on the Crotón reservoirs would be a source of revenue, has been disappointed. The water wil] not freeze, and if it would. the ice would not be so perfectly pure that as that which freezes on the pure lakes up the river, nor would it be more easy of access. - Jour. of Com.
