Electricity and Windmills,

The possibilities of the utilization Of
wind power for the generation of cleo
tricity have scarcely yet been grappled
with by inventors. An incentive has
been given to the study of this problem
by an offer Of $50 and a gold medal
by the Netherland Society for the
Promotion Of Industry for the best pa
per on the production Of electricity
by windmills, it's storage. transmission
and utilization. The main points to be
covered are: Q) What is the average
energy a common windmill is able to
produce per day Of tw%enty-four hours
In combination with an electric storage
battery; what would be the installa-
ton most suitable to this effect, and
what would be the cost of one horse
power hour? (2) Is it possible, from
an economic point Of view, to apply the
new aerial motors on an extensive scale
for the accumulation and the utilization
Of this energy? If 50, what mechanical
appliances would be required for this
purpose? The project Of a supposed
application Of the system by which q
factory is provided with light and pow
er is wanted as an Illustration. An
swers must be sent in before July /,
1894, with tho authors name, in a
closed envelope, to the general secre-
tary of the society, +. w. Van Eeden,
at Harlem, Holland. 1t is to be hoped
that the: subject will be taken up by
American inventors.

TICKET

Registering, and Thet Adyan-
tages.
The exigencies Of railway passenger
traffic have led to the invention OF most
ingenious machines for the cancella-
ton, dating and registering OF tickets.
In one machine, designed for turning
out tickets rapidly for street railways,
ferries, etc. the individual tickets in a
large roll of paper OF the required
width and thickness arc divided from
one another by a perroration and a
pair Of notches. which are also used Tor
maintaining the registering during
printing. The strip of paper then
passes over a series of wheels, which
regulate the FRACTIONAL tension, to the
printing cylinder. from whence it Is
turned out ready for use, says the Titts-
burg Dispatch.
In other machines tickets can be
numbered consecutively from n to
any given number. For instance, there
Is a special ticket holder and regis
ter" by which a web Of tickets can be
cut up and dated, each ticket being
counted and marked as it is being with
drawn, to prevent fraud. The tape Is
drawn through feed rollers, by turning
a handle. and passes between a print
ing cylinder and a bed cylinder. Upon
the printing cylinder is a knife which
cuts or the tickets as it delivers them
through q slot. A counting device Is
geared to the printing cylinder, and
keeps a register Of the operation. 1t Is
enclosed in a case, which Is normally
closed by a locked door. BY the use
of this machine all troubl ,some count
ing of the stock of tickets Is avoided,
while dishonest officials find an exact
account kept against them.

exceedingly good teed. Immature corn also
makes good food, though interior to either
wheat or barley. Wheat contains q larger
percentage of protein; or flesh forming food
than either corn, oats or barley. Prof.
Robertson, Of, the Ontario government sta
ton, reports that from nine to fifteen
pounds Of increase In the live weight of
swine are obtained per bushel Of frozen
wheat; this being the result Of actual ex-
periments. Under favorable conditions in
quality and age Of the swine. with hogs at
5 cents per pound, the frozen wheat netted
q cents per bushel.
Actual experiments. show that young pigs
thrive better, and take on more flesh with
sweet than sour milk.
Have We n hog Market
Within the past few years q market for
the hogs of Minnesota and both of the
Dakotas has sprung up at our very door.
We refer to South st. Paul. 1t this place
over Z, 500,OOO have been expended IN the
construction Of immense packing houses for
both hogs and cattle, and the stock yards,
During the past year more than 300, 900
hogs have been bought and packed for all
parts of the United States and Europe, aud
the number wa less than one-third Of the
requirements.
For the year Of 1894 1000, 600 hogs will be
needed to keep these immenoe Industries
busy. The market value Of hogs at this
place Is at all times equal to the Chicago
market, with the freight deducted. With
all of these advantages Of food, climate and
farmers Of the wheat belt should plod along
in the old rut. The time for emancipation
Is at hand. Let the farmer avail himself
OF the opportunity. Diversity in farming
IL the key Of success.
The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1894-02-17
Little

A kindly, honest and simple little
man was Frederick william Hamstede,
originally a city clerk Of London, and
q versifier who %concocted worthless
doggerel, for love and not reward, at
a rate which would surprise most poet
asters. Yet his claim to remembrance
lies now In the fact that Thackeray
called him dear little Hamstede," and
loved and protected him from banter
with o strange and touching chivally.
If any one laughed at the great nov
elist's attachment to so insignificant Il
protege, Thackeray would exclaim:
mo one shall say q word against lit
tie Hamstede in my hearing! I love
little Hamstede. ! tell you I love little
Hamstede. and as for his verses over
which you have been making merry,
all that I care to say Is that ! take
more pleasure In reading his poetry
than I do In reading your prose-"
The secret Of this large-hearted pro-
lection was not far to seek. Ham
stede was q dwarf and a h%unohback;
he had been crippled by falling from q
nurses arms In infancy, and could not
get about without a I'M Thackeray,
the giant, loved him for the su6erings
he had undergone.

NEWSPAPERS SIXTY YEARS AGO
A Contrast Between Then, and Now
and What Nay BE. in 1914

A Contrast Between Then and Now
and What Nay BE. in 1914
One hundred and fifty attended the
annual meeting Of the Bostonian So
ciety In the Old State House yesterday
afternoon. There was a large turnout
of members.
President Curtis Guild. editor of the
Commercial Bulletin, gave the address.
1T Is curious" he said, lin looking
over the records Of Boston sixty years
ago, to note the difference between the
newspaper Of that date and the great
metropolitan journal Of to-day. Then
there were no telegraph dispatches.
There were no market reports; the
old prices current once a week were
thought sufficient. There va 10 finan-
sale of stocks. There was only n rail-
| road advertisement. There were no
| court reports. There was not a single
leading article in the paper, and scarce
ly any local matter. There were no
interviews and no special correspond
ence.
"Apropos to the prominence given to
interesting events to-day, a. compared
with then, I may cite the following
paragraph from the same issue Of the
1884 paper:
Miss Fanny kemble was led to the
altar on Saturday morning, and changed
] her name to Mrs. Pierce Butler. The
ceremony took place at Christ church,
Philadelphia, the service being read by
the venerable Bishop White"
Let us suppose the event to have
taken place to-day. We should have
had the entire pedigree of the family,
from Roger Kemble down, a sketch Of
! the life of the actress, her first appear
ance, her career, how and when she met
her affianced, a description Of the we'd

THE vast amount of Information
I! given by the newspapers of to-day
Is not only conspicuous by its absence,
but yexatious, especially to the histor-
ian who seeks for a record. Many re-
| member the merchants of sixty years
ago and their business and methods of
| doing business. From 1890 to 100 was
! Change hour on State street, and from
the corner of Congress to the corner
of Kilby street the sidewalk was al
most impossible by reason OF the
throng of merchants who were wont to
daily assemble there.
Can it be that the sketcher OF 1914
will find as little in the newspaper OF
to-day to compare with the enterprise
of his time as he OF to-day does OF thaf
sixty years ago?"-Boston Traveller.

Reply.

One day at a dinner party Charles G.
Leland became much interested in a
Frenchman near whom he sat, and who
seemed equally inclined to make his
acquaintance. After dinner they were
turning yer a collection Of the works
of Blake. and Leland said to the French
man that Blake was a very strange Wis
ionary; that he believed the spirits Of
the dead appeared to him. and that
he drew their portraits.
HE was mad. them" said the strang-
eF.
NO." replied Leland. "he was not a
mailman. He was almost a genius.
Indeed. he was all but a Dorey
There was a roar Of laughter, and
Leland, ~innocently supposing that he
had said something clever, laughed, too.
When the guests had departed, the
host said:
"Well what do you thing of Dore?"
"Dore? Why l never saw Dore in
aJsM noH moQM o. e:aoU SUN 4sQLs,
MY life!"

THE INTERSTELLAR ETHER.

Ethereal Waves Which Affect the
Eye and the Photographic Plate.
Our eye does not act by detecting
heat; in other words, 1t Is not affected
by the whole range of ethereal CULVER
ings, but only by a very minute and ap-
parently Insignificant portion. 1t Who'll
ly ignores the ether waves whose fire.
quency is comparable with that OF
sound, and for 80 or 40 octayes above
this nothing about us responds; but high
up In a range Of vibration Of the incon-
ceivably high pitch Of 4 to 700, OOO, 900
per seconds-a range which few access
sible bodies are able to emit. and which
it requires some knowledge and skill
artificially to produce-to those waves
the eye is acutely, surprisingly and
most intelligently sensitive.
This little fragment of total radiation
IS In itself trivial and negligible. Were
1t not for men and glow-worms and u
few other forms Of life hardly any of
1t would ever occur on such a moderate
sized lump Of matter as the earth. Tx
cept for an occasional volcano or q
fash of lightning, only gigantic bodies
like the sun and stars have energy
enough to produce these higher flute
Xix notes, and they do it by sheer main
force and ~violence-the violence Of their
gravita tive energy-producing not only
these, but every other kind Of radiation
also. Glow-worms, so far as I know,
alone have learned the secret of emit
ting the physiologically useful waves,
and none other.
Why these waves are physiologically
useful, why they are not what is called
light" while other kinds of radiation
are dark" r questions to be asked,
but at present only tentatively answer
ed. The answer must ultimately be
given by the psychologist, for the dis
ttnction between light and nonlight can
only be stated In terms Of the eye and
Its peculiar specialized s~ersitiveness,
but a hint may be given him by the
physicist.
The eternal wave which affect the
eye and the Photographic plate are Of a
size net wholly comparable with that
OF atoms OF matter. When a physical
phenomenon Is concerned with the ulti-
mat atoms Of matter, 1t is relegated-at
present to the wagner group Of knowl-
edge summarized under the head of
chemistry. Sight Is probably a chemi-
cal sense. In the retina may be COM
pick aggregations Of atoms, shaken as
under by tho incident light vibrations,
and rapidly built up again by the liv-
ing tissues in which they live, the nerve
endings meanwhile appreciated them
In their temporarily, d~issocia:ed condi-
toD-a vague speculation, not to be
further ~countenanced except as a work
ing hypothesis leading to examination
Of fact, but nevertheless the direction
in which the thoughts Of some physl-
cists are tending-a direction toward
which many recently discovered expert
mental facts loint.--Professor Lodge
