Owing to the comparative scarcity of
water power in many parts of England
for the generation of power for cleo
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 -four
mill near London, the windmill supply
ing sufficient power to run a small dy-
namo. The current is used to charge a
storage battery, from which a 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

Much comment has been excited by a
recent occurrence at Wilma, in western
Russia. The men of one of the batteries
of an artillery regiment stationed at
wilma mutinously refused to salute one
of their officers when he came among
them. He summoned them more than
once to pay him the due sign of respect,
but the soldiers paid no attention. The
officer, enraged at this behavior, at
length drew his revolver and shot two
noncommissioned officers, one after the
other. He was taking aim at third
when the soldiers, in fear of their lives,
at length gave the proper salute. The
incident is being hotly discussed in mill
tary circles, some officers maintaining
that their confrere was justified in his
act, while others condemn his extreme
conduct.--Lond6n Times.

RuiII His Own Church

The new Hovey Avenue Baptist church
building is handsome one, for which
its pastor, j. G. Jacob, is entirely re-
sponsible. A year ago he began to agi-
tate the building of the structure, but
meeting only with rebuffs he decided to
go ahead with the const9uction.
Accordingly he begged the lumber
from prominent firms of the city, and
with his own hands laid the foundations
and erected the superstructure. Six
days out of seven for nearly six months
past he has toiled early and late on the
structure. With his own hands he has
painted the entire building, and his own
ingenuity is responsible for the beauti-
full interior finish of butternut, syca-
more and black ash. Though the prop
erty as it stands is worth nearly 81, 1000.
the cash outlay by the church has been
less than 81 ,000,-Muskegon mich. Cor.

veyed by the now well known trolley
system to drive large fan. The

dangers % beginners. 1t should be kept
about 100 feet from the ground to give

that this system, if properly perfected,

Spring went about the woods today,
Tho soft foot Winter thief,
And found where idle Sorrow lay
Between the flower and leaf.
She looked on him and found him fair
For all she had been told;
She knelt down beside him there
And sang of days of old.
His open eyes beheld hersaught,
Yet gan his lips do move;
But life and deeds were in her thought
And he would sing of love.
So sang they till their xes did meet,
And faded fear and shame;
More bold he grew and she more sweet
Until they sang the same
Until, say they who knew the thing,
Their very lips did kiss,
And Sorrow, laid abed with Spring,
Begat an earthly bliss.
