the work, much of which was done

THE LEADER I!

Everyone who reads knows the result
OF Don Quixote's battle with the wind
mills Even though that errstic indi-
vidual had only the most primitive mills
to combat he found himself " done up"
on his first attempt to subdue that which
had aroused his ire; had he come in
contact with an Aermotor it is probable
that he would have refrained from any
attempt to contest the ground with so
strong machine. We can excuse him
for his action in battling with the an
cient style windmill, and could have
done so had he waited few years longer
and tackled the old fashioned wooden
mills which are now going rapidly out
of date, but there could be no excuse for
his desire to fight steel Aermotor. He
would not be in it.
Don Quixote's farce reminds us OF the
attempts OF some persons OF to-day who,
with even greater confidence than the
Don, start in for a fight with the Aer-
motors. They buckle on their armor
and start out. only to end by adding to
the rapidly increasing popularity OF the
Aermotor, The greatest windmill on
earth"
We get a new invoice of Aermotors
by each steamer and yet cannot
supply the demand for them. They are
recognized as the most powerful mill in
operation, and we do not hesitate to say
that within six months there will not be
single individual who needs a wind
mill on these Islands who will buy any
| other kind.
You have been told through the news
| papers before that the mills are so light
in construction that gentle zephyr will
run them; SO easy and perfect are those
we have seen in operation, and by a
letter recently received from purchaser
of an Aermotor we are almost tempted
| to tell you now that they will run in q
dead calm. This would not be far
wrong for we have seen 12-foot mill
revolve rapidly when there was moi
enough wind to carry the smoke from
the stack of steam engine only short
distance from the Aermotor. These are
facts much too hard for the manufac
turers of other mills to fight. We enjoy
hearing the praises of other mills suns
because parties interested in windmills
make comparisons and then come to oul
store and select an Aermotor. HA

ADMIRAL WALLIS OF THE BRITISH
NAVY.

LONDON, April 11-To-day Sir Provo
William Parry Wallis. Admiral of the
British fleet, completed his one-hun-
dredth year. In American hearts the
event ought to revive melancholy yet
heroic memories, for Wallis, then Sec
ond Lieutenant, escorted the captured
Chesapeake to. Halifax after Brooke, his
superior in command of the Shannon,
had tainted from the loss of blood
caused by his wounds.
Admiral Wallis is living at Hunting
ton House, Chichester. He has posses
sion of all his faculties, and, though
showing the signs of his great age, he is
every inch an Admiral. Congratula-
tions pour in upon him from every part
of the kingdom, and so far as regard for
his health would permit, it has been a
gala day at Huntington House.
Admiral Wallis exceeds by several
years any surviving officer OF the navy
The next eldest, Captain Peter Belcher,
died few weeks ago at the age of
ninety-fve. The centennial birthday of
Admira! Wallis adds interest to the
naval exhibition tc, be opened in about
two weeks. 1t is hardly expected that
the veteran can be present. If he could
be he would be the most interesting
relic of the show.
The following sketch of the SER

period Of more than half q century
OF active, foreign service, may
prove interesting.
Sir Provo w. =. Wallis was born
at Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1891.
Was midshipman of Cleopatra
when captured by the French fri
gate Vile de Milan after a long
action In 1905. (The Cleopatra
was recaptured and the Vile de
Milan taken by Il. NJ. S. Leander
six days later.
Wallis was lieutenant of the
Curieux and cut out a vessel in st.
Anne's Bay, Guadalupe, in 1910,
was subsequently wrecked in the
same ship on the enemy's coast,
was lieutenant in the Gloire at
the destruction of two 44-gun
French frigates at Ause la Barque
and of the two batteries which
protected them, and was present at
the surrender of Guadalupe.
Wallis was next the second
Lieutenant of the Shannon at the
capture of the Chesapeake, June,
1913, when the Senior Lieutenant
was killed and the captain danger
ously wounded.
Promoted to commander and
specially commended by the Ad-
niralty, he commanded the NADIA
gascar at Vera Cruz during the
French war of 1889 and received
a letter of thanks from the British
merchants for attention and care
of their interests" AS Captain OF
the Warspite during the French
expedition to Mogador in 1874 he
received the thanks of both Gov.
ernments for his judicious arrange.
ments on that occasion, he also
served in Syria during the war oil
1916 and was made Aide-de- camp
TO the Queen.
Capt. Wallis's last active service
was as Commander-in-C Chief on the
s. E. coast of America 1857 and SO
and was made X. G. B. 1860 and
Grand Cross 1878; Vice .Admira
of the United Kingdom 1870 to 76
