Roach, Pantry Pest,
Is Native of India

Sir Francis Drake, buccaneer OF
three hundred years ago, once took as
prize a Spanish ship loaded with
spices from India. 1t is recorded that
on that ship was strange "black
bugge" which the Spanish called Gu
carache, which strictly speaking, meant
wood louise" This cucarache became
the modern cockroach.
1t was a native of India, never until
that time seen in Europe. These cock
reaches, however, were sturdy fellows,
given to living in dark and narrow
places and therefore happy in the
holds of ships that piled the seas.
Thus these argosies of commerce have
served as a means of broadcasting the
cockroach, and it is found in abund-
ance wherever man dwells. His bones
have provided suitable breeding and
dwelling places for these children of
the warm countries.
New species, one in America and
one in Australia, were found and dis
tributed. So have worldgirdling multi
tudes of them appeared where before
there were none at all or but local
tribes. This increase in the range and
numbers of the cockroach is typical of
the man influence in the insect world

The whole gorge Stimulates, al
though on a vaster scale, the scenery
of the Rhine valley, even to the little
villages clinging to the base of the
overshaddowing bluffs. Giant ruined
castles with turrets and towers and

other details that mark he medieval

Peaks Cut The Skyline
East of this western upland lies
the great central plain which occup-
les a portion of seven counties. This
plain is characterized by flat or very
slightly rolling land, with sandy and
sandy-loam soils, with numerous
broad marshes and sluggish streams.
The outstanding features of the
central plain are the abrupt walled,
stone castles, such as are seen about
Camp Douglas and farther east bear
ing such names as Petenwall Peak
or Roche A Cris-the last remnant
of the great sandstone formations
that once covered this great area and
still form the main mass of the
uplands to the west.
These towering structures rise
hundreds of feet sheer out of the
plain and might have been fashioned
by some Titan as his fortress home.

consin River, castellated mass of

Her Memory ReUered

Lady Arabella was the daughter OF
Thomas, earl of Lincoln. She married
Isaac Johnson, who left his native
land for New England from religious
motives. Lady Arabella cheerfully
accompanied him. and they arrived at
Salem, Mass, in April, 1880. Her ex-
allied character and gentleness gained
her universal esteem, but she died in
the September following her arrival.
Mr.. johnson survived her little more
than a month. He is regarded as the
founder of Boston, and though his
time was brief. yet the good work be
accomplished will never be forgotten
by the people of New England. But
dearest still is the memory of Lady
Arabella.-Denver News.

Milk as a Food

Milk as a food for every one has
been extensively advertised in the
United States in the past few years,
and apparently with convincing force.
Statistics from 800 cities and 10000
farms indicate that in 1923 the con-
sumption of milk was SO gallons to a
person, as compared with so gallons
in 1922 and 40 gallons in 1921.
In Boston the consumption TO a
person has advanced in eight years
from So to "a gallons.

Sea Oil Wells

Sea-going vessels frequently report
having passed through parts of the
ocean where the surface Of the water
was covered with oil for G. distance of
perhaps many miles. The source Of
this oil is frequently a mystery. In
some cases 1t is known to have been
due to oil-carrying vessels which have
sunk, but in others it is believed to be
due to oil wells on the bottom from
which the oil rises. In some cases 1t
has been observed bubbling out Of the
water, as II a steady stream Of 1t were
rising. These apparent submarine oil
wells are most common in the Gulf Of
Mexico and Off the western coast Of
South America

Early Coffee Houses

Coffee houses were places of re-
freshment first opened in the Six
teenth century in Constantinople. In
London they were, SO to speak, club
houses, free to all who could buy a
cup; and yet each was known for its
special circle of visitors, literary,
scientific, religious or political. In the
absence of newspapers they were a
great means of spreading news and of
discussing public questions. Nearly
all Of the middle and higher classes
attended them daily, and they came
to exert so powerful an influence in
politics that in 1876 Charles ii at
tempted to suppress them, but IN vain.

AN INTERESTING HISTORY
OF THE BADGER STATE
CONTINUED from page one)

The gently rolling upland, the
gentler slopes and the valley bot
toms make rich agricultural fields
and farm pastures. A view down one
of these prosperous valleys, dotted
with well-kept homes, nesting in the
shelter of the spurs from the main
ridges, or cut in the open surrounded
by majestic groups of elms or naples
with herds of full-uddered cattle dot
ting the hillsides or standing leis-
urely in the cooling streams, is one
to conjure up thought Of restful ease
and make one wish to live in such
scenes 'far from the madding
crowd" Those familiar with the
famous Berkshire Hills of Massachu-
sets tell us that the scenery in the
western upland" of Wisconsin is
more delightful.
Vaster than Rhine Valley
Along the western boundary of the
wisconsin Berkshires" is the great
gorge of the Mississippi, one of the
most magnificent scenic panoramas
to be found between the Alleghenies
and the Rockies. The dolomitc-cap-
ped sandstone walls rise steeply from
the flood plain to height of five
hundred feet and more. Sometimes
they are in the form of sheer pre-
cipices, at others the isolated bluffs

sandstone which, seen at a distance,
might be mistaken for some ancient
ruin dropped into the heart Of Wis
consin.
Other crags rise as solitary
towers, their white lines pinnacled
against the flat surrounding country
making strange and unusual i'm
preston upon the observer when he
sees them projecting steeply from
the flat lowland.
The western upland and the cen
trail plain comprise the non-glaciated
part of the state, the southwest
quarter. In area it is about 210
miles north and south and 100 miles
east and west. This "driftless
area" so called because it is devoid
of glacial deposits, or drift, "
is world famous because is
completely surrounded by glaciated
territory. There is no similar re-
gion left bare of the glacial ice in
the territory covered by the contin-
entail ice sheets of North America
and Europe.
Carved by Great Glaciers
The story of the surface of the
eastern and northern parts of Wis
consin is the story of the work of the
great continental glacier which adj
vanced from Canada part of the
great planetary drama wrought out
in ancient epochs when mankind was
just beginning to take possession of
the earth.
The ice sheet found before it a
country with surface like the pres
ent western upland and central plain
of the unglaciated area. In its slow
advance the all-embracing ice pro-
ceeded to mold the conditions more
to its liking. Like a great milestone
it ground off the hilltops and filled
the valleys. 1t bore along with it
from its northern home, and from
the areas over which it spread,
mass Of powders and soil which it
used to level up the rough areas in
its path.
Along with these materials it
brought large quantities of native
copper from Canada and northern
Michigan, sometimes in chunks sew
eral hundred pounds in weight. 1t
scattered the pieces so widely that it
was a common source Of material for
weapons and implements for the In
dians. These copper spearheads,
knives and other utensils of the Wis
consin tribes were much priced, and
Indian trade channels distributed
them to tribes far distant. Probably
half of the known copper relics of
this kind have been found in this
state.
