Ice Supply Necessary,

In the production and marketing
of high-quality milk and cream a
supply of ice on the farm is almost
a necessity, says the United States
Department of Agriculture. Proper
cooling and cold storage is said to be
the greatest single factor influence
ing the bacterial content of milk
from the time it leaves the COW until
it reaches the consumer.
The department says that farmers
should, if possible, put up at least
one and one-half tons of ice in the
North and two tons in the South, for
every COW in the milking herd. This
will provide for cooling the milk, al
low for melting, and provide a little
surplus for household use. In late
fall and early winter, when work is
not pressing on the farm, little
time spent in anticipation of the ice
harvest will pay good returns. Dur
ing this season old ice houses may be
repaired and all the necessary equip
ment for harvesting ice provided.

COLONISTS ON KRANGELL
 ISLAND TO BE RESCUED
Two Plans Are on Foot for Relief
  ships to Be sent to Arctic Regions

By the Associated Press.
 Nome, Alaska, June 1.-Two plans were afoot today to rescue 2 colony which Harold Noice left on Wrangel Island in. the Arctic Ocean, north of Siberia. when he learned that an eX- petition led there in 1921 by Alan Crawford of Toronto, had perished with the exception of Ada Blackjack, an Eskimo.
 These two colonies were sent to Wrangell Island under thesencourage- ment of Nilhialmur Stetfansson, an Arctic explorer who has gone into in- hospitable parts Of Alaska with the announced intention Of proving that they are good places to live. The WrangelI Island expeditions were de- signed to establish a British claim to the island.
 Aboard the power schooner Her. man, which left here yesterday for the Arctic was Sydney Snow, an American hunter. Snow took a party of Eskimos. He stated that they would go to WranEell island this sum mer and that he would bring off all who wanted to come.
 Carl Lomen, head of Nome trad ing company, has been approached by representatives of stefansson it was learned. Under tentative plan a schooner belonging to this company and making semi-monthly mail trips between Nome and kotzebue Sound, just north of Rering strait may slip over to Wrangell Island if ice con ditions appear favorable.
 Tho colony left on Wrangell hy Noice consisted of thirteen Eskimos ' in charge Of Charles Wells of Nome.

Pygmy Victim of Act
of Mistaken Kindness

In 1904. after the St. Louis exposi-
ton. one of the African pygmies exhib-
tied there was stranded 10 New York
on his way home. He finally got a
lob In a Coney Island restaurant, but
soon lost 1t, and was near starvation
when a person interested in his plight
asked DIR. w. T. Hornaday. curator Of
the zoo, to give him work. says the Bos-
ton Transcript. The pygmy was set
to work cleaning and tending the mon
key cage, and Later was promoted
to the bear cage. He was happy
and cheerful, but so slow that 1t took
him half q day to clean the cage. 1t
was not long before he became an
object of greater interest than either
the bears or monkeys, and an In
genious person conceived the Idea of
placing a sign on the front of the
cage during the hours he spent there,
announcing that he was specimen of
homo sapiens.
The fellow was not left untroubled
long, however, for the New York
Times learned of the practice and
started righteous agitation against
such indignity to poor pygmy-and
thus to the human race-and quickly
interested the negro welfare societies.
At their protest he was discharged
and, after wandering southwark from
one Ill treatment to another. he COM
mitted suicide.

Genius Of Philology
Giuen Stern Justice

Curious pleas have sometimes been
put forward in support of the reprieve
of notorious criminals. One of the
strangest was that on behalf of
George Ruloff, an American school
teacher who was convicted In 1870
Of series Of robberies and murders
his own wife and daughter being
among the victims. For cold-bloOded
cruelty his record would be hard to
beat, but Ruloff had his other side.
He was an ardent philologist, and
had been engaged for years on the in
vention of universal language. No
one could attempt to palliate his
crimes. but widely signed petition
was presented to the governor Of Vir-
ginia for his reprieve ON the ground
that as his invention, If completed,
would be of the utmost benefit to man
kind it would be criminal folly to ex-
tinguish such light of learning. The
governor thought otherwise and Ruloff
was duly hanged

The Javanese natives have a great
love for music. Some of their musical
instruments are very ingenious in APP
pearance and pleasant to listen to. One
of them, which is called a gamelan, Is
a sort Of native orchestra, composed
chiefly of gongs sounded in various
cadences so as to produce very sweet
melody. with an accompaniment Of
wind and string instruments. bam-
boo instrument called the anklung is
also very popular. This is shaken by
hand and gives forth sprightly
rhythm of which the natives are very
fond. The music is played in the open

~chan,eleons Lakes

1t is well known that the water OF
many lakes exhibits characteristic
colors. Lake Geneva, at the western
end Of Switzerland, is blue, while
Lake Constance, at the eastern end
Of that country, is green. Blueness
implies purity. since the natural color
of water is blue. A green lake has
its water slightly clouded with impur-
tiles.
1t is said that green lakes some
times become absolutely colorless for
a time, and 1t has been found that
this sudden change of hue is due to
the washing into the lakes of mud
colored red by oxide of iron. Red is
Complementary to green, and the re-
suit of the mixture is that the green
color of the water becomes for the
time being neutralized.

thousands Of years after these blue
clay deposits were made. Recently.
however, biologists working near the
site Of an old Indian earthwork found
some of the same sort of blue clay.
Underneath this clay were human
bones. The discovery was exciting
the geological evidence seemed to
place the first Tennesseans back with
Ice age fossils. Then some kill-jcy
in the party discovered that the In

clay from some distance and packed
1t down into fiat layers resembling
geological strata.
