sPEEDlER THAN in AMERICA

William H. Prccce, the celebrated

was to confirm my views that we do
our work better in England than they
Go III the States. Our apparatus is bet
ter, our speed is higher. Messages are
handled with a greater reliability. A
message can be sent and its reply re-
ceivcd with certainty in an hour in
England. fancy such r.,pidity would
astonish the users of the telegraph of
the States, except those In such busy
centers as New York and Chicago,
and generally the speculative branches
Of the community. The domestic tcle-
gram scarcely seems to have reached
the United States, and this is owing
probably to the fact that the districts
Of private residences, the small towns
and the Villages do not possess tele-
graph offices, unless they are supplied
by the railroad company ut the rail
way station or by the Western Union
company, who do the work for the
railway company.
fail to see any superiority in the
manipulative skill of American opera
tors. They certainly have all made
the same advance in technical cduca-
ton that we have, and altogether 1t
may be said that the management of
the tclcgraphs in the hands of private
enterprise does not compare favorably
with the management of the teiegraphs
by the state Mt home. At the same
time it must not be assumed, because
the government has advantagcOusly
taken the telcgraphs in hand ut home,
that such a process would be possible
in the States. In my opinion it would
be absolutely impossible The civil
service Of the United States is in very
chaotic condition. The principal ap-
pointments are four-year appointments
only, and are filled politically. The
reason why our postoffices and our telc-
graph offices Mt home work SO we'll is
because the public exercises such a
useful and such n determined super
vision over the work. The free opening
Of the press to complaints; the rcadi-
ness with which members Of the house
of commons ask qucstions--tl,ough ut
times, perhaps, Irritating and vcxntions
are undoubtedly good for the serv-
ice, FOR they keep us all alive. Such
a state of affairs is impossible in the
States. The government of the United
States must first reform its civil selv-
ice; and when it gets officials into the

ELECTRIC WINDMILL PLANTS.
An Extensive Field open to People
Of IN Inventive Mad.

An Extensive Field open TO People
Of an Inventive Mad.
The utilization of what are termed
the waste forces Of nature is steadily
pushing itself to the front, ind en-
gineers have been compelled to study
applications which were scarcely even
contemplated ten years ago. The ready
means which electricity places in the
hands of the engineer have not been
overlooked, and as soon us the storage
battery became commercially availa-
BILE apparatus new impetus was given
to the realization of long meditated
schemes says the Electrical Engineer.
The first Of these ideas to Ike taken up
seriously was the transmission Of the
powers Of waterfalls. the progress In
which presents a remarkable record.
These powers. from their uniform and
steady nature, afforded favorable Op-
portunity, but the Intermittent powers
of nature. such as the rising and fall
ing tides. the waves. and especially the
wind have up to the present absorbed
the attention of but II few isolated
workers. or indeed. enthusiasts, and
schemes for their utilization have been
looked upon by engineers as more In
the nature Of f:lds than as legitimate
engineering work worthy of close and
serious investigation. Leaving out Of
consideration the utilization Of the tides
and waves. 1t seems worth while to in
luirc whether the power Of the wind
cannot he employed for the generation
of electric current.
Wo venture TO say that few have
ever stopped to consider tho great and
rapidly increasing number of wind
mills now in operation and the work
they are doing. principally in clcvating
water for drainage. irrigation and do
nestle purposes. Their number alone
in this country runs into the tens Of
thousands, and the size and powers
called for are constantly increasing. 1t
must be evident, however, that IL this
method of operation Is to come into
Z Ancial use II must be reduced to the
simplest possible arrangement, and to
lacS Of this important feature of sim
plicity may be attributed the re-
luctlnce hitherto manifested. The
three elements upon which success
in this field dcpcntls-tllat is. the wind
mill, the dynamo and the storage bat
tcry-will be conceded to have all ar
rived at the stage which is called conn
mcrcial. so that there can be ITO further
question as to the reliability. The only
other factor, then, Is the wind itself,
and IN this point all sufficient data are
ut hand to base calculations upon.
While the maximum and minimum
rate, Of course, vary during different
hours Of the day and with the locality,
an average rate Of seven AMI three
quarter miles per hour can be depended
upon in the United States. Near the
SEA coast and In elevated localities the
average rate is much higher. and 1t Is

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products 10
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of u perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevcrs
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts OH the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
