A Lasting Substitute for Ice

Col. Jim Thompson, the news king, tired of furnishing ice water to the army of friends who make his depot their headquarters, slipped down to Hemingray's one morning, and securing a large chunk of clear glass slipped back to the store and slid it down into the cooler. A shake of the cooler proves there is something in there and the thirsty individual never questions but that it's the real stuff, and the next individual who may take a peep into the cooler sees what he supposes a clear, tempting square of ice, but it has not had time to cool the water. Thompson warrants it to last ten years. — Cincinnati Times-Democrat.
