Force Of Nature Harnessed for
Heating and Lighting.
Owing to the comparative scarcity of
water power in many parts of England for
the generation of power for electrical pur-
poses, attention has been given to wind
power, with which the country is we'll sup
piled. A small experimental plant has been
in operation at a -four NALL near London,
the windmill supplying sufficient power to
a small dynamo. The current ia used
to charge a storage battery, from which a
number of arc and inoandescent lamps
we're lighted nightly. Although the current
obtained was small the experiment. was sue
cessful in demonstrating the value of this
form of power for generating electricity.
The accumulators give out a steady cur
rent to the lamps, of course, Independently
of any conditions Of wind Ii weather,
and practically the obstacles which have
hitherto stood in the way of running dyna-
mos by windmills have been overcome
There il no reason why country houses
standing on elevated ground should not be
supplied with light from this source as we'll
as with water. The cost of an installation
should be in no way excessive. and that OF

sacristan proceeded to light the candle,

the startling discovery was made that the

oaeded in making it burn a terrible explo-

the crowded condition o. the church. The

WILD AND TAME HORSES.
What IL Known Ahoutt tho DnaMesticatlon
Of Mau's Great Friend.

of Mau,s Great Friend.
Every now and then omeone asks where,
when, and by what peopie was tho horse
domestioated, and what WAS its habitat in
the wild state, says tho New York Sports
man. Very incomplete statements have
generally been made in nswer, in fact it
was nearly impossible to give good answer
until lately, rs knowledge did not go be-
You'd the Oldest litOrature in existence. but
science, through tho study Of languages. IN
n com aarative manner. and the nldest
scrutiny of archaeological remains OF the
prehistoric races OF mon, has probably very
nearly reached the possible limits OF KNOW
ledge on the subject.
The fossil bones of the wild horse during
its course of development are found all
seross the United States, Europe and Asia,
III which latter the true wild animal has
been killed in tho last few years. 1t seems
to have been cxterminated n good while
ago on this continent, and to have been
gradually dying out in the eastern homl-
sphere. The Aryan races have u name for
the horse that is common to them all.
showing by this that they we're acquainted
with him in their original home, now sup
posed to be in eastern-central Europe. and
not upon the Oxus, III Asia. 1t is also found
that the Turko-Iartar people. originally
from northern Asia. also show q knowledge
OF the Qofk6 u6lo.o euclI AA5Pe.ato4A'
while the Semitic of Arabia had no
name for him in primitive time,
receiving tho animal and Its name from the
Aryan people north of them and passing
both to the Hamites of north Africa. The
pre-Aryan people OF northern Italy ana
southern France seemed to have nearly
lived on the animal in its wild state, more
than 90, 600 skeletons being found at one
place near Macon. but in the remains OF
the first Aryan villages they occur but
seldom, becoming more numerous in later
Swiss lake dwellings,. Abou the time OF
the first introduction of metals, bits are
found Of very small size, three and a half
inches, only big enough for the mouth OF q
small pony, and these become more numer-
GUS and of q larger size as time goes BY.
The ass was not known at that time IN
Europe, therefore these small bits were,
without doubt, made for newly
tanned horses. But everything goes tc
show that the animal Was dumestloated IN
Asia at . very early date, possibly sooner
than in Europe. and it seems likely that !,
will never be known whether the Tartar
people or tho Asiatic Aryans first accom-
plished it, or whether il was done first by
the Western Europeans or in Asia. Nc
other domestic animal has shown the nbil.
ity to RELAPSE into the wild state and mul'
tiply as rapidly az the horse has done or
each continent. In the short time that
Australia hns been settled there are large
numbers there, to which the American mus
tang NAV have contributed. A great uncle
of the writer was captain of q barque trad
ing from Valparaiso to Sydney, in the for
ties, which carried horses on each voyage
that way.
