A Unique Invention

Pipe Apparatus Said to Cool Refrigerators with Salt Water.

Homer T. Yaryan of Toledo, O., has been at work for some time on a system of supplying zero temperatures to order, says the St. Louis Republic. His plans have progressed so far that he believes that he has the invention almost perfected.

In brief, his scheme is to pump the brine that is used in icemaking plants through pipes to houses and business places. Coils of pipe will be placed In refrigerators and iceboxes, and the frost which forms on these will keep the temperature at a lower point than could be obtained by ice. The brine will all be manufactured at a central plant, as heat is now generated, and then forced through pipes by an immense pump.
