ELEcralclrY MADE BY WIND.


At Slight Expense 1t Il Possible to Elt
Your House with Incandescenta
New York Press: Mr.. J. A. Corcoran
of Jersey City has just completed a
novel experiment in the application Of a
windmill to an electric lighting plant
The plant, though an experimental
one, is now in operation without as
yet a single mishap and the storage
cells furnish current for twenty
four ineandcscent lamps in Mr.. Corco-
rams residence. Everything points to
the complete success of the scheme.
The mill has diameter Of eighteen
feet and at n speed of twenty miles
an hour is capable of delivering three
horse power. The dynamo driven by
belt from the main gear charges a set
of storage batteries. 1t is so designed
that throughout the wide variations OF
speed Of the windmill it maintains the
potential constant Mr.. Corcoran
says that the application OF a windmill
to run the dynamos of an electric
lighting plant will place electricity in
the homes of thousands who can thus
secure their motive power from nature
A windmill is not very costly struc-
ture, and any one who owns bit OF
open land about his residence can
erect one and fit up his simple electri-
cal apparatus inside of it The thou
sands of windmills one sees in travel
ing over the country, if Mr.. Corcoran's
scheme proves a permanent success,
may be utilized for lighting the resi-
dcnces of the owners and those Of
their neighbors, as well as drawing
water for stock One windmill will
light half a dozen residences at the
same time
The machine in Mr.. Corcoran's wind
mill occupies a floor space of only
thirty inches square and fifteen inches
high. The dynamo has a maximum
current capacity of thirty-fve amperes
at thirty-ive volts and is put into
action when the speed is GOO revolu-
,ions per minute, that is, when an
eight-mile breeze is blowing.
A great thing that deferred expert
ments with windmills was the wind
itself. but IL is believed that success
can be had with the average rate of
7Sl miles per hour that can be depend
ed on throughout the United States
While the maximum and the minimum
rate, of course, vary during different
seasons at the sea-coast and in differ
ent localities, the average rate OF ~
miles can be obtained Mt almost any
point in the country. Near the sea-
coast and in elevated localities the
average rate is much higher, and it is
in such situations that the first at
tempts will be made throughout the
country to apply the plan of general
ing electricity with the aid of wind
So it will be readily seen that the util-
ization of the waste forces of nature
is steadily pushing itself to the front

He was brought to st. Anthony's
hospital. this city. and Drs. Dunn
and kerns were summoned 20 attend
