REILLY Comparatively Easy to Regulate Tem perature of Houses Constructed of Blocks of ice. tse Changing the thickness of the roof) may not seem like a particulariy handy way to keep the temperature of the house uniform. Certainly no one would think of doing it in that way in this country. But in the Arctic “shaving off the roof” is the regular “The Friendly Arctic," just how the Eskimo does it: If, says Mr. Stefansson, the snow house we were camping in was built at 50 degrees below zero, each block in the wall was then of that temper- | ature and contained what we may un- scientifically speak of as a great deal | of “latent cold.” To cold it was necessary to keep the In- neutralize the | side of the house for a considerable | time at a temperature of perhaps 60 degrees F. Snow 1s so nearly a non- conductor of heat that, once the | “latent cold” had been neutralized, the | heat of our bodies kept the tempera. ture well above the freezing port, even whtn the hole in the roof was | open for ventilation. But If the weath- er became a little warmer than it was | when we made camp, the heat of our hodies or the heat from the fire would raise the temperature too high, and the roof would begin to melt. Then we sent a@ man out with a knife to shave it anywhere from four to two inches thinner so that the cold from outside would penetrate the snow blocks and stop the thawing. If the next day the weather turned cold again, hoarfrost would form on the roof and drop as snowflakes on the bed. We would know then that the roof was too thin and send a man out to blanket It with soft snow. IS NO LONGER “GOLDEN ORB” French Scientist Makes the Assertion That the Real Color of the Sun Is Blue, All the daylight comes from the enn, but It arrives here by different wars. The direct light, that which forms the solid rays, h grown weak by Its passing through the atmosphere, slightly for the red light, more so for the blue. The diffused light of the sky, where the blue predominates, is made up of all that the direct radia- tlon lacks. The blue of the sky is taken from the sun itself and the result Is that we do not see the royal star under Its true color, If by some miracle, which science will perhaps realize, we could rise about a hundred kilometers above the diffusing layers of the atmosphere, | the solar dise would appear to us, not white, but bluish, standing out In re- Nef on a black sky, where stars gllt- ter at full noon, In this way it would appear to the “men in the moon” tr the moon were inhabited. And this vision 6f science perfect- ly agrees with what we know of the solar temperature. Physicists that the radiant surface, the photo- sphere, is not far from a temperature of 6,000 degrees C. It Is, therefore. hotter than the yellowish flame of our gas burners, than the white Hght of our electric lamns and the electric are itself, whose color ts bluish, Now, it !s known that the hotter a radiant body is the richer it ts in blue and violet. Therefore, the sun Is blue. —L. Houllevigne in Le Temps (Pari Village Fair for Fiancees.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agricuiture.)’ That testing cattle for tuberculosis and the cleaning up of infected herds | are having a permanent effect in re- ducing the extent of the disease is | shown conclusively by figures recently collected by the United States Depart. | nent of Agriculture from inspectors in charge of the eradication werk In various perts of the country. The in- spectors were asked to supply figures on the results of three or more tests on badly diseased herds, those that had not less than 10 per cent of re actors on the first test. The first test on more than 58,000 cattle in these bad herds showed that 26 per cent had tuberculosis, Another test six months later on the same herds, from which the reactors had been removed showed only 6.9 per cent of the dis ease. By another six months centage had gone down to fourth test on more than these cattle showed only 1.8 per cent of tuberculosis, The reports from which these fig ures were taken show that under nor me! conditions herds very badly dis y be established as retative % a short time, They also show that eradication work can be carried on without destroying the cat- Ule Industry as is sometimes thought Erratic results were obtained on a very few of the 1882 heras tested, the list of this class containing less than 100.

During the winter, when cows are | Stabled the greater part of the time | they should be watered two or three times a day, say specialists of the United States Department of Agricul ture, unless arrangements have been nade to keep water before them at all times. The water should, if possible be 15 degrees or 20 degrees above the freezing point, and should be supplied at practically the same temperature every day. When water well above freezing temperature Is stored in tanks | and piped directly to the cow, t is probably Httle occasion for facill tles to warm It. When it stands in a tank on which fee often forms, tt usually ays well to warm it slightly This can be done by a tank heater. by live steam, by hot water from a boiler.

A IF YOU HAD A HORSE If you had a horse that you expect to use, you would feed him, don’t yon? If you have a piece of machinery that you expect to use, you would grease the principal working parts, and tighten the nuts occasionally, don’t you? Why do you do all these things? Because you know that if you don’t do these things the horse will die and the machinery will wear out and fall to pieces. You do these things because common horse sense tells you to do them. Did you ever stop to think that your farmers’ ware- house and elevator is just like your horse and machinery ? It is. Do you know that the important part of the feeding and greasing is done by working with, and boosting with the manager, and with the other farmers. That is the grade of oil that makes the machinery run smooth. Things always run smooth when we boost.
