An American journal announces that the town of Thompson Falls, in Missouls county, has a strange system of cold storage. In the hottest days in summer it is possible to keep living rooms at a temperature of 55 degrees. and but'er, eggs and meat are kept coal and fresh without the least trouble. The best part of the cold storage systera is that it costs absolutely nothing after the plant has been installed.
