Tyhe Harhe.t windmiIl rover.

INC town Of st. James, T.. l., can
boast OF having the highest and strong
est windmill in the world. The pro-
prietor OF the land on which It has
been erected tried for years to con-
struct a well on the elevated land
near his house, but without success.
The spring from which the windmill
numns Is ON the beach ut the head Of
n distant bay. The contiguous land
rises SO rapidly and the trees are so
high that 1t was necessary to raise
the windmill 100 feet SO that the bot
tom of the wind wheel would be above
all distractions within 1000 feet OF Ii.
The scale on which the mill is erected
can be seer from the fact that there
are twenty barrels of cement i'm the
foundation piers, besides forty barrels
Of cement, 10000 bricks, 1900 Geor-
gia pine and more than six tons OF
bolts and washers and iron plates.
1t is % IL feet in diameter and 100
feet above high water. There are 5000
feet of pipe between the windmill
pump and the reservoir, which con-
tains about 6, o gallons. The wind
mill has frequently filled 1t in two
days. The maximum height to which
the water Is forced by this mill is 22S
feet, before reaching which 1t has to
pass a long line Of pipe. There in mo
difficulty, however, In making q plant
throw the water much higher than
this. It'll b merely a question of the
pump pipe and fittings being able to
withstand the pressure and the. wind
mill being large enough to give power
sufficient to do the work. Pumps are
made strong enough ito slaise water
1000 feet If necessary, The only ques-
ton to be carefully considered Is that
Of the tower, for 1t must be made
to Withstand the toughest weather like
ly to be met with I'm these ATTITUDES.

Recent Investigations of the air Of
the London sewers have revealed the
fact that there is n poisonous amana-
ton from sewers which may be as in
furious to health as the bacteria to
which 1t has been customary to ascribe
all i'll effects. The most noticeable pro-
auctions OF sewer gas poisoning are
nephritis and albuminuria. Cold and
chill are usually held responsible for
these affections, but it would appear
that they may be caused entirely by
sewer air. 1t is suspected that the
sewer gas contains a volatile poison,
the examination and classification Of
which must be left to future investi-
gators. 1t Is more than likely that the
question Of sewer poisoning and drains
will become the problem of the ehemis.
instead of. as lately, the bacteriologist.
In all probability the unknown sub
stance is an organic nitrogen COM
pound allied to hydrazine, which is
known to have a powerful toxic action.

rh ner.rnenn- or the FRENCH.

The Frenchman Is q clever person,
and never was that cleverness better IL
Illustrated than In the story told OF
Lespes, the French journalist better
frcwn as 'sTimothee Trimm." One day
while at work he was 'disagrccably In
truded on by a creditor, who announc-
ed his intention of not departing until
h. was paid. Farley proved useless;
the creditor planted himself on a chair,
and Lespes beheld him, with consterna;
ton, draw bread and cheese from his
pockets, as though to fortify himself
against events. Several hours glided
by; Lespes had resumed his writing and
finished an article. The creditor showed
no signs of moving. and. from the
chances which he cast at n sofa, was
evidently specializing what kind of o
bed 1t would make. Suddenly Lespes
rose, and with bits of newspaper began
carefully blocking all the apertures
which air could come into the room.
He then made preparations for light
ing a charcoal fire: but before applying
the match, pasted on the wall just OPP
posite the creditors eyes a paper thus
lacOnically worded: Take notice that
we died of our own will"
What are you doing?" exclaimed the
creditor, quite uneaSily.

cradle, 70 we are going to commit sui

1t is almost needless to say that the

Myriads of Crows ut Niagara.

An interesting sight was witnessed by
the visitors at Niagara Falls recently.
1t was the annual migration Of crows
toward the South. This usually occurs
in early winter, but this year, for some
unknown reason, it did not occur until
march,. The crows passed southwark
by the million. and for, two days the
air was black with them and the noise
Of their cawing almost %deafening. When
they got to the falls they Lit In large
numbers on the ice bridge and set up a
wild cawing. The sound echoed against
the walls Of the gorge and made a
tremendous noise. When they were
rested they arose, with a loud whirring
OF wings, and continued their flight.
Many flew into the falls and were
drowned.-Detroit Free Press.

by HOke.

Hoke Smith-great heavens, what O
namel-is from Jargy and was not in
the Union army. Let US bear this fact
in mind as we glance over his work. He
may have warm sympathies for the GRIN
pied veteran, but ii is for the fellow on
the other side, not those who followed
the stars and stripes. And yet Cleye
land placed the deStinies, the honor, the
very lives of our nations honored veter-
ans in the hands of this man. Was it
done for a set purpose, with q fixed
plan TO cut off and down as many as
Democratic gratitude was able? We can
judge by the effects Of his administra-
ton.
For six months, from June to Noyem-
Der, inclusive, of the present fiscal year
there has been considerably less than
one-third the usual number of certii-
Gates issued, with a saving in the first
place, through the lessened volume of
business, of $l5, 000, 900 in round num-
bers, and, in the second place, through
the reduced rate at which these pensions
must have gone on the rolls, So, POI, 100
more. Then there is economy for the
treasury also in the 20, 900 greater
number of reflections by Judge Lochren
on which the first payments would have
been something more then So, 600, 900
If they had gone on the roll even at
Commissioner Lochren's rate, and if at
Raum's about SO, 400, 600, making a to-
tai of 80, 600, 900 or $50, 600, 600 that
has been withheld from the veterans,
their widows and orphans in a single
six months
This, in a nutshell, is the astonishing
result. Now look at some on the extraor-
binary G by which this has been
accomplished, for It seems almost In
credible that sch a change can have
taken place in thepension bureau. Men
see the unusual result, wholly ont Of the
ordinary course, and ask themselves and
one another how it can have come about.
Through what legerdemain it can have
been rGacheds
