Louis four years ago other papers followed I - u "
the example. In Chicago one New lork
paper published a dally edition on the spot,
which was virtually a duplicate of the home
edition In New York. This same newspaper
has already mado arrangements equally am
bltlou. for Kansas City and Philadelphia. In
Kansa. City It has leased two residences for
the force It Intends to carry out. and It has
also engaged a headquarters which will be
complete In every equipment. There are
not many newspapers, of course, which will
undertake as ambitious a scheme as this,
but every ono that expects to make any
show at all will be very thorough in its
preparations.
The staff of a metropolitan Journal at a
national convention Is as carefully organ
ized ao If It were a permanent affair In
stead of the creature ot a week. Prepara
tion, are mado weeks In advance. The best
men on the force are selected and sent to
the convention city in a special car, each
man being assigned to his work and one of
the most responsible men on the paper being
placed In charge of all. Some ot thece are
detailed to report the proceedings ot the
convention. The routine is left to the press
araociatlon, but the striking features of the
proceedings are covered In Individual style
by men peculiarly adapted to the work.
One will write a general "picture," another
will describe especially dramatic incidents,
another will follow the political develop
ments as they reveal themselves. Others
will watch the doings of particular delega
tions In which intere.il happens to be cen
tered. Outside thc convention ball still
others will follow up the Innumerable con
ferences which are constantly going on,
watch for deals and arrangements which
are likely to be sprung at any moment to
affect the current of events and pick up the
characteristic Incidents and stories which
lend color and which, while having nothing
to do with the weightier politics ot the oc
casion, help to round out and complete tbe
picture.
All these various reports when written
are turned In to the man in chargo and he
Is responsible for tho arrangement and ac
curacy of everything that goes over the
wire. Usually same writer of wide repu
tation Is engaged to prepare a general re
view showing what has been dono and what
Is likely to be done. In some cases a news
paper will have several writers to record

THE REPORTERS.
"How would you like to be jour own Ice-
man?" And Mr. Rummel declares that no
one need have much dlRUultr la assuming
the popular summer cnarartpr Hi alsj
Insists that at last we are where we mnv
bite our thumbs at the Ice trust. Ice. he
says. Is now possible on land or sea. by 1
day or night, to the suffering sold er In a 1
field hospital ee well a. to the thirsty rel- ,
dent of a sunburnt village. And all be- '
cause he became convinced (hit Ice couH '
be made in small quantities and sturk to
the problem until be solved It
While In a small Mexican vil'age ten
year3 ago. relates the Chicago Chronicle,
Rummel was stricken down by smallpox.
Alone, hundreds of miles from friend i and
kindred, ho was taken to th? p.ithojs,
where six other smallpox patients were
confined and there was not through all
tbe tropic heat and the fever of the dis
ease so much as one small bit ot lee the
size of a walnut to cool thc parched lira
and burning throats of seven sufferers.
Five of them died, chiefly for want of Ice.
"I made up my mind," Rummel sa.d.
"that It ever I got out of that penthouse
alive I would do my best to work out an
Ice machine of some sort that would make
lt possible lo have ice anywhere "
So after he came to Napa he hammered
away at the problem for nearly ten years.
He worked patiently at his profession that
of nurse and every cent he made above
his modest living expenses went into the
production ot an easily portable ice mi
dline. There were times when even the
cost of living was encroached uponbut
Rummel Is not a man to tell tales about
going hungry. He Is the sort to count It
all in the day's work and let It go at that.
Mrclinnlcnl .Mnohlne I'nltril.
"First." he says. "I tried a mechanical
machine, but everything I worked out on
that line was too complicated and expen
sive." Then he turned his attention to achieving
his ambition with chemicals, quite un
daunted by the fact that he knew compar
atively little about chemistry. But he
learned and he stuck to his Idea. He blew
hlmeilf up now and thin. He spent mist
of his Income on chemicals. He tried and
tried and tried again without losing heart.
He put In all the houra that were required
of him at the asylum and when he was free
he spent the other hours in a bare, little
rcom on the main street In Napa, with the
shade, drawn and thin strips of light pierc
ing the quiet Napa night, working away on
the ice machine.
And after all the years of trial and ex
perimenting and disappointment heaped on
disappointment, he completed It and It is
as simple as that egg trick of Columbus'
that has been handed down from genera
tion to generation.
All Rummel needs for the roakine ot Ice
Is three plain oblong zinc tanks, on little
perforated zinc basin, a zinc cover, water,
salt and the freezing compound.
Secret Carefully IJannled.
The freezing compound is simple, but
Rummel is not going about explaining the
simplicity of It. That la something he keeps
carefully secret from his dearest friend.
This much he divulged that It will make
Ice that Is aa dry and as portable as com
mon eilt and that it will only make ice by
gradually mlxlnx with strong brine. And
this much, considering how much Rummel
has given In time and money and patience
and hc?e and ingerrulty to discover It. Is
about all that any one is entitled to know
about It.
The little ice machine Is not a one-part
actor It ha? many possibilities. One little
machine about the size cf a twenty-flve-pound
block of Ice, as eaMly carried about as
an ordinary valise, will do double no treble
duty In a household.. In Its little inside it '
will freeze a nice, clear, bard cake of lee. In
Its cuter tank tt will chill water that can
be drawn off for drinking. And set in an ice
chest In the place of a blcck of ice li will j
chill the chest the while It !s engaged In Its
legitimate business of turning water into ice.
It works for a wage of 24 cents for every 100
pounds of ice and doesn't strike.
"It can also." says Rummel. who sees as.
much In lt as Colonel Sellers did In the eye-
water, "be used to cool the atmosphere m
hospitals and theaters and halb and cars.
One or more machines at work In ratio to
the spaca to be chilled, will reduce the tem
perature materially, for I observed thai a
single machine in my room could change the
climate for me."
The rrncrx n Simple One.
An Investigator who recently called upon
Rummel tells his experience as follows
"With a little machtne a little more than
half the size of an ordinary five-gallon coal
oil t!n Inventor Rummel let me make lee
such a simple little machine, measuring
:0xl2xS Inches. There were three zinc tanks,
one within the other, like a Chinese neit
of boxes, except that inrtead of fitting to
gether snugly there was a space of an Inch
around each tank. The smallest central tank
Is for the Ice. Into this I poured pure water
and covered it tightly This I dropped Into
rhe second the middle tank which was
tilled with strong brine. The outer tank was
filled with clear water to be chilled for
drinking, althci.gh. when no chilled water Is
required and it Is necessary to conserve the
cold, this tank can be filled with t.awdust
or feathers. Over the tank holding the brlno
and the small tank with the water for the
Ice I placed the small perfcrated zinc bailn
filled with tbe freezing compound. After
moistening th compound I put on the cover
and the ire machine was ready to work
under lock and key.
"Than this it need, no further attention
nor assistance, but like the gas meter It
will keep right on working Industrioiibly
