beneath the rack is a filter, through which the ice-water streams as it melts, falling 

 into the lower angle, where it is retained for its frigerific properties; or to be drawn 

 oflr, with fresh water added, for drinking or culinary purposes; an overflow pipe i3 

 arranged so that the water cannot, by any contingency, reach the ice. It is self- 

 ventilating, and no one article of food will impart its flavor to another. But its 



greatest feature is the manner by which the moisture is taken from in and around 

 the provisions. This is done by leaving exposed to the provision chambers the 

 corrugated sides of the ice and ice-water receptacle, whereon all moisture is imme- 

 diately condensed and carried off through the waste-pipe. It is well known that 

 provisions will keep better out than in most refrigerators; the "reason for this is 

 obvious. The moisture in the air (finding nothing colder than itself) is deposited 

 upon the provisions, thus causing them to become mouldy and musty.
