Topeka-The floods in the Cimar-

uncovered an old house that the old
est settlers in that territory did not
know ever existed On the floor of
the old stone house was found a crock
full of eggs, which to all appearances
were perfectly preserved after being
under ground more than 40 years.
The story of the unearthing of this
old stone house, indicating settle
ment in southwest Kansas years be-

knew of it, was reported by w. c..
Millar, a ranchman Of Kiowa county,
who recently made a trip into Morton
county.
The Cimarron river this spring, in
sudden freshet, washed away the ranch
building at the old Beatty ranch, at
Point Rocks, in southern Morton
county. The garden adjoining was
also washed out by the flood, the river
current making a deep cut there, and
excavating the walls of an old stone
house
In the house, when uncovered, were
found good many household utensils
and a crock containing eggs. The

HIGH AUTHORITY ON PUBLIC HEALTH
DECLARES CLEAR ICE IS GERM FREE
Dr. Hugh S. Cummings Says the Process of CB$azng Expes
Matter Even in Rivers Known to Be PoIuted-TeStS Are
Made in POndS-Some Danger When Ice Is Dragged
Across Streets and Exposed to Dirty Hands.

{ the demand for ice in places to which
it was difficult to deliver natural ice,
attempts were made to invent some
practicable method of artifcially pro-
ducing ice.
Artificial Ice Now Common.
About 1868 Carre invented his ice
machine, and later Doctor Gorrie,
whose statue now in the Statuary hall,
in the national capitol shows. Florida S
appreciation of his worth, increased
its usefulness. 1t was not until the
late SOS, however, that the artificial
production of ice became a CONNER
cial success. Within these thirty-odd
years methods have been perfected
until nearly every hamlet in our great
country has its ice supply; and none
but the poorest and most isolated OF
our people are deprived OF its bless
ings.
But one principle is involved in the
formation of ice, which is that when
two substances Of unequal tempera-
ture are in contact the warmer sub
stance gives up heat until both are
of the same temperature
Important phenomena occur during
this change First, like most other
substances, water contracts as it
grows colder until it reaches 4 de-
grees centigrade, or 99.1 degrees Fab
renheit. 1t then begins to expand,
so that ice is lighter than water. Were
this not true, our northern waters
would be frozen from the bottom and
all fish killed.
Foreign Matter Expelled.
The second phenomenon, one com
mon to the crystallization of all sub
stances, and one well known to chem
lists, but until recently overlooked by
sanitarians, is that during crystalliza-
tion nearly all extraneous substances
either in suspension or solution are ex-
PEELED from the crystal; indeed, crys-

WashingtOn.-Dr Hugh S. Cum
mings of the United States public
health service, has written a cheerful
story of ice that tends to dispel much
Of the fear that disease may be pro-
duced as readily by ice as by water.
Moreover the story is readable, for
Doctor Cummings has the art of max
ing his subject attractive, even though
the subject is only frozen water.
According to Doctor Cummings,
clear ne, frozen in plenty of free wa
ter which can take up the unsanitary
particles of bacteria expelled by the
freezing process, is of itself as free
from danger of conveying infectious
disease as we need wish. Dirty or
cloudy ice may be dangerous and
should not be placed in water or on
food when it is to be eaten uncooked.
We may eliminate all danger by avoid
ing the handling of ice with dirty
hands, by washing the ice with pure
water and by using only clear ice.
How Hirdus Make Ice.
Going into the romantic origin of the
art of cooling food and drinks, Doctor
Cummings points out how the Hindu
in the northern provinces of India
from time immemorial has wrapped
his porous jug, filled with water boiled
to expel air, with wetter cloths, the
evaporation from which makes ice
during cold, clear nights. The In
dian of the tropics and the cowboy of
the plains still take advantage of the
abstraction of heat by evaporation. Ro-
nance tells us how the chivalrous
Saracen, Saladin, sent to his crusader
him of the lion heart, snow
ice from the mountains to assuage his
fever. But until last century the stor-
ing and use of ice was a merely local
matter.

Fire Destroys Old Farm Buildings.

New Castle, Del-Fire on the his

barn, with 40 tons of hay, the waSor
sheds and burnt the immense straw

William Bennett Ratledge, who has
farmed the place for many years. The
origin of the fire is unknown, and hap

tween the fire companies the house
was saved, although but 20 feet from
the barn. The barn was built more
than a century ago, but was in excel
lent shane.
