THE WIND As 4 MOTIVE powr

THE WIND rs A MOTIVE POWER
Turning, now, to sources of energy
derived from sun-heat, let Us take the
wind first. When we look at the regis
ter Of British shipping and see 4O, Oo(
vessels, Of which about 10000 are
steamers and 10000 sailmg-ships, and
when we think how vast an absolute
amount OF horsepower is developed by
the engines of those steamers, and how
considerable proportion it forms of the
whole horsepower taken from coal an
nually In the whole world at the present
time, and when we consider the sailing
ships of other nations, which must be
reckoned in the account, and throw in
the little item of windmills, we find that
even IN the present day of steam ascend
ency, old-fashioned wind still supplies a
large part of all the energy used by
man. But, however much we may re-
gret the time when Hoods young lady.
visiting the fens of Lincolnshire at
Christmas, and writing 20 her dearest
friend in London (both 60 years old now
II they are aliye), describes the delight
OF sitting in bower and looking over
the wintry plain not desolate, because
"windmills lend additional animation
to the scene, we cannot shut our ewes
to the fact of lamentable decadence of
wind-power. Is this decadence perma-
nent, or may we hope that it is only
temporary?
The subterranean coal-stores of the
world are becoming exhausted surely.
and not slowly, and the price of coal is
upward bound-upward bound ON the
whole, though no doubt it will have its
ups and downs in the future as it has
had in the past, and as must be the case
In respect to every marketable COM
modify. When the coal is all burned.
or long before it is all burned. when
there is SO little of it left, and the coal
mines from which that little is to be ex-
cayated are so distant and deep and hot
that its price to the consumer is greatly
higher than at present, it is most prob
able that wind-mills or wind-motors in
some form will again be in the ascendant.
and that wind will do mans mechanical
work, on land at least, in proportion
comparable to its present doing of work
at sea.-PopuLGr Science 1fonthly.

TIE CANDIDATE FOE PROBATE
JUDGE.


JUDGE.
It was election day in Huron. The
! people of the county had been engaged
IN exercising their dearest privilege as
American citizens. The election was
over, and the judges we're engaged in
ascertaining the result. The bitter
contention Of the day had ceased; the
wary maneuvering of politicians, the
shrewd combination Of opposing inter
ests to defeat a common enemy had been
had; and all the excitement of the strug-
gle was now concentrated in the sus-
pense as to the result.
Crowding aroung the polling place
was a vast multitude. The whole
voting population of the county seemed
to be gathered there awaiting the an
nouncement of the result with breath
less interest. There was apparent Gu
rlous feeling of mutual enmity among
those composing the crowd. They re-
garded each other with scowling faces,
and each seemed to regard every other
his bitter rival. While all were abb
sorbed in one interest, and all awaited
the result of the Vote, as if depended
upon it all their hopes of happiness,
there seemed to be no sympathy be-
tween them. Each regarded the other
with a look as if he saw in him the most
abandoned of villains, and each seemed
to see in his neighbor wretch who was
attempting to rob him of his dearest
rights and honors, and whom to murder
would be Christian duty.
At length the clerk of election arose
and prepared TO read the result of the
vote. A solemn stiffness fell upon the
vast assembly, and every voice was
hushed and every ear was strained to
catch his words.
"For County Commissioner, G. Fred
Zimmerman has received"
Bother the County Commissioner
We don't care anything about that. Go
on to the next"
"For Register of Deeds, I. J. Mouser
has received"
Discordant voices drowned the fig
pres.
"For Sheriff ="
"No matter about the Sheriff. Go
on to Probate Judge! Probate Judgei
Probate Judge!" cried score of voices
from the crowd
The voice of the clerk became husky.
He seemed to tremble with some strange
emotion, and almost to fear to announce
to the desperate-looking crowd the re-
suit asked for.
Gentlemen" he said at length,
erayely and deliberately, Il am sorry to
be obliged to announce that the vote
fof Probate Judge is tie, and that
therefore there is no election to that
office"
Fierce cries of fraud and treachery
arose from the crowd, and the figures
were demanded.
Gentlemen" said the clerk, "there
were 2,376 votes cast. There were 2,37S
candidates. Each received one vote.
To an impartial looker-on IN Vienna, it
might appear that every man voted for
himself"
With wild, weird, despairing cry,
2,37S men fell senseless to the ground.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

Oh, Painter of the fruits and flowers.
We own Thy wise design,
Whereby these human hands Of ours
May share the work of Thinei
Apart from Thee We plant in vain
The root and SOW the seed:
Thy early and Thy later rain,
Thy sun and dew we need. -,
Our toll is sweet with thankfulness, ~
Our burden is our boon;
The curse Of earth's gray morning is
The blessing Of its noon.
Why search the wide world everywhere
For Eden's unknown ground?
That garden of the primal pair
May never more be found.
But, blest by Thee, our patient toll
May right the ancient wrong,
And give to every cline and soil
The beauty lost SO long.
Our homestead flowers and fruited trees
May Eden's orchard shame;
We taste the tempting sweeus Of these
Like Eve, without her blame.
And, north and south and east and west,
The pride of every zone,
The fairest, rarest and the best
May all be made our own.
It's earliest shrines the young world sous bit
In hiu-groves and in bowers;
The ittest offerings thither brought
Were thy own fruits and flowers.
And still with reverent hands we Gull
Thy gifts each year renewed;
The good is always beautiful
The beautiful is good.

HOW ENGLISH BANK NOTES ARE
MADE.

A reporter for an Eastern paper hap
pencd into an exchange Office, where
the bookkeeper was handling some for
elgn bank notes. Among them was
new Bank OF England note for e10. It
was beautiful specimen of paper
making and printing, and inquiries as
to the way in which it was made
brought out the following explanation
OF the process:
Said the money-changer: "The Bank
OF England notes are the most uncoun-
terfeitable of any securities in the
world. It is simple matter to learn
their peculiarities, and once learned it
is impossible to pass a counterfeit upon
man knowing those peculiarities.
They are in both the pa per and the
plate and type printing Of the note.
First, notice the paper It is distin-
guisheG by its peculiar pink color. Such
paper IS never seen, and is made and
nsed for 20 other purpose. See how
thin and transparent it is! Those quail
tiles are made specially to prevent any
portion of the printing being erased by
the knife or acid-washing, the two
specialties of American counterfeiters
and forgers. Take the note in your
hands! 1t is peculiarly tough and
crisp. Those qualities are brought out
by the paper being made entirely from
new linen and cotton, and not from
rags.
DO you see the peculiar water-mark,
or wire-mark as it is called? That is
produced by a special mold used when
the paper is in pulp. Do you see that
rough edge on the ends? That is called
the deckle, and is also produced when
the paper is in pulp. Two notes are
placed in mold when they are in pulp
and divided lengthways. Hence the
top and bottom, OF long edges, are al
ways rough. This dechle cannot be
inflated by cutting. Tie paper is also
exceedingly strong. Tt is said that q
bank note evenly adjusted will lift a
hpndred-pounds weight without tearing.
Do you see the difficulties forger
must overcome before he can even
produce the paper on which the note is
printed?
Every process described requires the
skill of an artisan, whose high remuner-
alton keeps him from any necessity of
dishonesty, and necessity makes the ma
lority Of thieves. Look at the printing!
Beside the water or wire work, which is
beautifully regular and intricate, plate
print is ithographel over the face of
the note. Then the type printing is
done. The paper is moistened first
by atmospheric pressure, 10000 double
notes being dampened in an hour.
"The printing ink IS also made at the
Bank OF England, from linseed oil and
the charred hnsk and vines of Rhen-
isl grapes, which produces Impress ions
Of peculiarly velvety black, especially
in the heavier figures. Af,er printing,
the notes arc numbered by machine,
which, unlike man, cannot err, and
las'ly are indorsea by the Secretary.
Ibo bank-r otea are printed in type on
TIE side Of t5e paper that receives the
w;sfef mark, and, cgen il the event of
the note being slst., another Of the
fofgers fayo-ile tricks, the imprinted
surface woull oaly retain 4 sliSat trace
oi the type s.i4d w-ter marks"

IMPORTANT no PIANIsTs.

The success OF a surgical operation
performed some time ago by DR.. Will
lam S. Forbes, Professor Of Anatomy at
the Jefferson Medical College, demon
strates way in which musicians may
overcome the necessity of years of con-
stant practice to destroy the rigidity
which naturally exists in the third or
ring finger. The normal infrmity has
always been the great drawback of stu
dents. To obtain thorough knowledge
OF the theory of music, fexibility and
ease in the movement of the third finger
is absolutely required.
The subject was brought to the at
tention of DR.. Forbes by Prof. Zack-
wer. music teacher. The physician
gave the assurance that if subject were
procured he would demonstrate that
with not-very- painful surgical opera
tion the finger could be brought under
control. A young colored man in the
employ of Prof Zeckwer, who had some
musical ability, consented to subject
himself to the surgeons scalpel. IT the
case of the third finger, unlike its neigh
hors, the upper or extensor tendon is
Joined with the tendons Of the fingers on
each side of it by two similar or acces-
sorry tendons. This acts like martini
gale. and holds the finger down so COM
Isletely that nothing but constant strain
viii loosen the pressure.
DIR. Forbes, when the subject was
brought to him, simply made two small
o"enings in the back of the left hand on
easa side of the extensor tendon, and
divided the troublesome accessories.
THO finger was at once released, and
immediately after the operation the
selaS man was able 70 raise the finger.

The Memphis and Selma.

We learn from reliable authority
that early in January,a force of about
eighteen hundred laborers will be
placed upon the Memphis, Selma and
Brunswick Railroad, between Holly
Springs and Aberdeen, but could not
ascertain at what particular point
tho work will be commenced.
Mr.. Fred Wolfe, although no longer
connected with the Erlanger Syndi-
cate, is President f the road, and,
as we understand, intends to COM
plete the connection with Brunswick,
Georgia, as early as it can possibly
be effected. The system of which
this line is a portion, extends from
Kansas City, Missouri, to the Atlan>
tic port of Brunswick, land when com
pleted will be one of the grandest
railroad lines in America. Piercing
the very heart of the Western grain
region and extending to perhaps the
finest port on the Atlantic seaboard,
transportation business will nat
urally inure to it that would severely
tax the best equipped lines of the
country. We hope the report of
early work on the route may be true.
