A Skating Rink of Sai
At the Berlin Zoo a skating rink made of salt was recently opened. The salt was produced by purely chemical means and without the employment of a costly refrigerating process. It resembles ice in every was odourless and proof any heat below eighty-six Fahrenheit. This salt was made after a process invented and patented by Doctor Edward Arnold. It can be applied over wood, content or ashphalt, or boards can be coated with it and arranged to form floors. It is applied in successive layers and the “ snow ” abraded by the skates can be collected and melted with fresh material. The quantity required for a single layer is about one-fifth of a pound per square foot. A fresh layer applied ehch week suffices to keep an ordinary rink in repair.
