THE VOLUNTEER CORONA TION CONTIGENT

COMPLIMENTARY DINNER.

On Saturday evening through the courtesy of the Hon CP. Chater a complimentary dinner was given in his bungalow at Kowloon to the Coronation Contigent by the members of the Volunteer Corps. They are leaving for Eng. land by the Empress of Japan on Wednesday to represent the Colony at the forthcoming Coronation of H. M. the King. .

SNOW AND ICE GALORE With the temperature at 86 and, the sun beating down from out of a cloudless sky, stop- ping Into a room where 15 degrees of frost are registered proves a unique and interesting ax perience. Outside one poffs and pants in the sweltering heat, inside you shiver and shake. aad, with teeth chattering, remark that a heavy coat would be most acceptable. At least this was the wish of representative of the Telegraph who recently journeyed to Causeway.

MESSRS. JARDINE MATHESON & co.. bought the property, plant and business of an American company and formed it into a limited concern, with a capital of $125,000. Various and important additions were made to the plant, including a nine-ton ammonia absorption ma- chine which did some very god work for. many years...” In 188) an ammonia compression machine, capable of turning out fourteen tons of ice per day was obtained and as it gave such, great satisfaction a similar machine, capable of making twenty tose daily was ordered a few years since.

It is interesting to watch the machinery in motion and to know that it has never failed for a single hour. The whole system of suc tion, delivery and stop valves, all connecting pipes, flanges, suction boxes of condenser tubes, refrigerator shell, in fact the whole of the ammonia system, with the exception of the compression cylinder, is of wrought steel or iron machined to shape, the joints being of soft blue lead, so that every part of the system is much safer than cast iron can possibly be-even if annealed.
