recruits 5 feet tall. In Ying’s
case, the minimum was 113
pounds. Ying, disappointed, prom-

water source, a larger can at
surface level. Either rubber tub-
ing or paper can be used to con-
nect one “pipe” to the next.
When covered with the fertiliz

furnish constant moisture from
the water seeping between the
cans to the roots of the plants.
Frames, about 24 inches high

on the south are constructed.
Over these go removable covers

into the country and secure an;

Emotions in His Music
■RUSSIA introduces the great
composer, Peter Ilich Tchai-
kovsky to philately in the stamp
above, one of a series of five
stamps commemorating the cente-
nary of his birth. The portrait on
the stamp above was taken at the
age of 40; the music in the scroll is
from his Fourth Symphony. Other
designs show his home at Klin and
a portrait taken shortly before his
death.
Tchaikovsky revealed his per-
sonal emotions in his music, full
'of depth and melody, somber and
' Ailed with unrealized longing.
Critics see in his compositions a
reflection of his unfortunate ro-
mances.
Tchaikovsky fell in love with an
opera star when he was 28. She
Mfiiftrfl his proposal, married a
baritone. At 37 he met and mar-
ried Antonina Milioukov, but the
marriage lasted only 13 days.
The real woman in Tchaikov-
sky’s life was Nadejda von Mede,
a wealthy widow, who became in-
terested in the young composer,

that he could devote all of hie time
