Wyoming Democrat. (Tunkhannock, Wyoming Co., Pa.) August 14, 1867
A German Chemist publishes the following simple method of preserving small
quantities of ice, which he has practiced with success. Put the ice into a deep
dish, cover it with a plate, and place the dish upon a pillow stuffed with feathers,
and cover the top with another pillow carefully, by this means excluding the
external air. Feathers are well known nonconductors of heat, and in consequence the
ice is preserved from melting. Dr. Schwartz states that he has thus preserved six
pounds of ice eight days. The plan is simple, and within the reach of every
household.
