Electricity from Wind.

Owing to the comparative scarcity OF
water power in many parts of England
for the generation of power for elec.
trical purposes, attention has been given
to wind power, of which the country is
well supplied. A small experimental
plant has been in operation at fou1
mill near London, the windmill supply.

storage battery, from which number
of arc and incandescent lamps were
lighted nightly. Although the current
obtained was small the experiment was
successful in demonstrating the value
of this form of power for generating
electricity.-Electricity.

Another miracle worker has recently
come into prominence In this vicinity.
He is Catholic priest without parish,
and the medical fraternity attribute his
alleged cures to imagination, which, as
all doctors know, is worth tons Of medi-
cine in many cases. 1t seems an estab-
lished fact, however, that a man who
for years has been tortured with respl-
ration several times as rapid as the
normal, and who had consulted many
eminent physicians without relief, got
rid of his trouble between dawn and
dark of single day after an application
of prayer and holy relics, and that all OF
his ailing acquaintance have ever since
kept the priests door ajar, some of them
going away in the belief that they have
been permanently benefited
The worker of these alleged cures,
who attributes his success to divine aid,
is stalwart man of fifty years-a man
Of the kind whom the weak and credu-
lous would instinctively obey so far as
their nerves and muscles would allow
and if he has compelled lot of hypo-
chondriacs to once more come under

deal of good whatever may be his meth.

In the olden time church services
we're so long7-prayers, hymns, and
sermons-that it is no wonder that
many of the hard-worked people in
the congregations could not keep
awake. Both in the old world and in
the new various devices were resorted
to for the purpose of banishing sleep
from the church. Among these was
not the modern one OF making the
services short and interesting. Our
English fathers tried several methods
of breaking up the offensive practice.
One method was that known as bob
bing," term thus explained by a
writer in Notes and Queries:
"My mother can remember Betty
Finch, very masculine sort OF
woman, being the 'bobber' at Holy
Trinity Church in the year 1910. She
walked very majestically along the
aisles during divine service, armed
with a great long stick like fishing
rod, which had bob fastened to the
end OF it; and when she caught any
sleeping or talking, they got a
NUDGE"
Doctor Thirlwall, Bishop OF st.
David's, gives in one Of his Letters"
an amusing account OF a Kerry custom
for awakening sleepers in church.
ut is by ancient custom u part OF
the sections duty to perambulate the
church during service time with a
bell in his hand, to look carefully into
every pew, and whenever he finds
any one doing TO ring the bell.
'.He discharges this duty, it is said,
with great vigilance, intrepidity and
impartiality, and consequently with
the happiest effect on the congrega-
ton; for as everybody is certain that
If he or she gives way to drowsincss
the fact will be forthwith made
known through the church by peal
which will direct all EYES to the
sleeper, the fear of such a visitation
Is almost always sufficient TO keep
every one on the alert"
