which in many sections Of the coun-

not great as compared with the com.
fort that 1t brings.
The Source Of the Ice Supply.
"The source of the Ice supply will
vary with local conditions. In many
sections lakes, rivers, or large streams
will afford a supply Of suitable ice
without special plan or preparation on
the part of man. In other instances
where such natural sources are not
easily accessible, small streams OF
even the water from spring can be
stored in an excavation or by means
of dam, so as to afford sufficient
water surface to provide the desired
ice supply The harvest area or sur.
face will depend upon the tonnage to
be stored and the normal thickness OF
the ice in the locality
"The stream or pond from which
the supply of ice is taken should be

The Principles of Ice Storage.
In order to keep so perishable c
| commodity as ice it is necessary in
the construction of storage structure
to consider carefully those physical
and mechanical principles which un
| dGrlie its preservation. First, to keet
well, ice must have a minimum oil
surface exposed to the air or to the
packing material. This is most cas-
lily accomplished by piling the ice In
| the form of cube. A mass of ice Il
| by IL feet exposes less surface than
the same tonnage piled in any form
less nearly that of cube or of q
globe. Second, the keeping of good
ice depends upon the completeness OF
its insulation, whereby 1t is protected
from external influences, such as heat
and air. Third, drainage is important
because the lack of it interferes with
the insulation Fourth, the ice Itself
must be packed so as to prevent as
completely as possible the circulation
of air through the mass. The more
nearly the mass of Ice approaches
that of solid cube, both in shape and

where an abundant supply of nat
ural ice can be harvested annually it
will be simple matter to maintain
high-class refrigeration by installing
brine circulating system. The Drin-
ciple on which this patented system
works is the same as mechanical re-
frigeration, except that the cold is Sc
cured through a freezing mixture of
ice and salt in tank In which the
primary coils are located. AS the
brine in these coils becomes chilled
it passes out through the bottom of
the coils and slowly flows through the
coils which are located in the cooling
room The heat of this room is alb
sorbed by these chilled pipes and as
the brine warns up it passes out and
up into the primary coils, and In this
way a continuous circulation is main
tanned between the two pipe systems"
says the department of agriculture.
For convenience the ice house can
be made part of the structure, so
that the ice can be elevated above the
storage chamber and directly into the
crusher, which can be located in the
attic above the primary coils. The
space above the cooling room might
be utilized as a farm shop or for a
cooperage if one were to be installed
in connection with an apple orchard
1t would not be advisable to attempt
to install this system without having
an experienced engineer calculate the
piping necessary for any given stor-
age room as we'll as the cooling tank.
The question of insulation is also a
very important one and should be
carefully specified
This construction is adapted to
small OF to very extensive plants The
department of agriculture uses this
system in a plant which has been in
stalled at the Arlington experimental
farm. The cooling room is % by 80
feet with 8-foot ceiling. Sufficient
space is thereby provided to store 800
barrels of apples.

There is the same difference In the

in unventilated and well ventilated

No brain worker works as keenly In

Damp, dull weather has little or no

Cecil Rhodes was not much of a
dresser. When premier of Cape Colony,
he usually wore a flannel suit, which
badly wanted cleaning, and a dilapi-
dated SLOUGH hat His successor in
office, Sir Gordon Sprigg, who wore
a black frock coat even in the hottest
weather, once made an effort to en-
force the wearing of respectable"
dark clothes in the Cape parliament.
But Rhodes would not have it. He
said in parliament that If he could
not help to legislate in comfortable
clothes he would not help at all. and
he thought the members would agree
with him. They did.

Combination Of Natural and Artificial
Means of Obtaining Ice.
"The home ice supply is sometimes
obtained by using a combination of
natural and artificial means. Where
an elevated water tank is at ones
command, line of pipe can be car
ried to perforated pipes placed on the
ceiling Of the ice house and during
freezing weather the pressure from
the tank can be used to carry water
through the perforated pipes to be
sprayed into the storage chamber as
long as freezing continues. BY careful
use of this plan on cold nights and
during freezing days a supply of Toe
can be built up in place. The protec.
ton of such supply is the same as
that of ice cut and stored In the usual
manner.
Masonry Ice Houses.
Instead of the cheap, temporary
construction, ice houses of a perma.
nent nature can be built from brick,
stone. or concrete. In these, as In
frame-constructed houses. the mass OF
ice should approach as closely as pos
sible cube in form. If the masonry
house is to be used in the same man
ner as the. temporary house no inside
lining will be necessary"

Inspirino Battle Pictures.

The Crimean war inspired many
wonderful battle pictures, one of the
most pathetic, perhaps, being THE
Return from the Crimea," painted by
Sir Noel Patton, showing the return
to his cottage of a corporal of Fusilier
guards with an empty sleeve, head
bandaged and a twelvemonth's beard.
He sits with closed eyes, while his
wife kneels at his feet and clasps his
waist. Prints of this picture are to
be seen in thousands of homes
throughout England.
Of naval battle pictures, perhaps
the most notable is that which illus
trates the famous incident Of the bat
tie of Copenhagen, when Nelson re-
fuses to see the signal Of recall,
painted by Thomas M. Henry, the IA
nous marine artist. The painting IS
one of the most inspiring sea pictures
which have ever been exhibited.

Where Does Goodness Dwell?

When vicious young millionaire
like Harry Thaw runs amuck through
his crude and evil environment we
sigh and say, His money ruined him.
When a poor young woman abandons
her weary frugalities for the Ques-

sigh and say, 'Her poverty drove her
to it." Where, then, does goodness
dwell? What part does honor play?

Studies itaIy's Thrift.

He has been surprised to learn-that
in the last 80 years savings IN Italy
have more than quadrupled, having
risen from $26S, 100000 to 1900 million
dollars. The chief means of inducing
thrift are the ordinary savings banks,
which number about two hundred.
with nearly three million depositors,
whose deposits totai 500 million dol
lars, and the post office savings banks
with an average of six million depos-
itors, whose savings amount to 45G

savings are held by cooperative So
cieties of credit and by the savings
departments attached to the state

EASY TO TELL REAL GENIUS
Man With Capacity for Infinite Toll
Is the One So Gloriously
Endowed.

Genius is always nine parts gift
Of God. A gifted person may learn
something at school, but he becomes
great, as Ruskin says, only when he
develops that peculiar capacity within
himself which he can learn from no
body.
How is one to know whether he is a
genius or not, whether those strivings
within him are the ferment of medi-
ocrity or the first push of superior
talent? The woods are full of young
people wl-s think they can write
stories or poems, or paint, or sing, or
perform upon musical instruments, or
act. How are they to know if they
be real natural-born geniuses?
Perhaps the best test is this. A
real genius usually has such a passion
for his work that no power on earth
can keep him from it. In other words,
Carlyle's dictum holds true, that gen.
Jus is the capacity for infinite toll. If
YOU are a God endowed one, therefore,
you will know it by your unconquer-
able joy and courage. If you are
second-rater you will give up, and be
easily turned away into money-nak'
ing.

Prevents Electric Fraud.

An interesting method of prevent.
ing fraud in the use Of electricity
has been devised by an Italian engin-
eer. The practice of offering heating
and cooking devices for current used
in power is becoming more and more
general, but with the ordinary con-
slant potential current it is diff
cult to detect the use of lighting de-
vices on circuits intended only for
power and heating purposes. This
engineer advocates the use Of special
circuits on which the current is sub
jcct to extreme fuctuation Of voltage
at rapidly recurring intervals, which
would make il practically impossible
to use lamps, because Of the flicker
il the lights. AS the current is not
entirely interrupted and the normal
voltage is almost Immediately re-
stored, the proper operation Of power
or heating apparatus is not interfered
with and the rightful use Of the cir
cults for their respective purposes is
assured.

EsKlMOs NOT KEEN TRADERS
Will Give Anything, No Matter the
Value, for What Takes Their
Fancy at the Moment.

Among the Eskimos of the Boring
sea region, there is no fixed value for
vhalebone, furs or anything they may
have to trade If one of them has any
thing of value, he will keep it until
some white man appears with some
thing that appeals to his eye. And
the money value Of what may take
him does not make any difference to
him. If he has a trinket that may be
worth a dollar, and some one offers to
give him for it something that is
worth a thousand dollars but OF which
he has no need he will refuse to trade.
But he will give anything he possesses
for what he really wants.
An Eskimo of St. Lawrence island,
In Bering sea, made catch one sea-
son of big bowhead whale. The head
of baleen was worth between ten and
fifteen thousand dollars. He knew the
approximate value OF the head, but he
held on to it with no apparent desire
to trade. One day trader appeared
with a small gasoline launch, valued
at perhaps two or three hundred dol
lars. The sight of that so took the
native that he straighway traded his
head of bone for it.
Far out in the straits one day he
ran out of gasoline. He abandoned the
launch for the canoe he was towing
and padded back to the island. Blu
he did not regret his trade. He was
satisfied, and ready to try for another
