LAWS AND CUSTOMS.

F1ogging still fiourishes in the ma
tive regiments of the Anglo Indian
army, and the entire regiment is pa
raded to witness the infection of the
punishment.
Novel means were taken by the wife
of an excise commissioners in Jamaica,

Among the Sioux Indians a common
custom exists. When one family bor-
rows a kettle from another it is ex-
pected when the kettle is returned a
small portion of the food that has
been cooked in it will be left in the
bottom. Should this custom be dis
regarded by any one that person
would never be able to borrow again,
as the owner must always know what
has been cooked in her kettle.
A queer lawsuit has just been tried
in 'Honesdale, Pa. The employers of

ployes who got married house rent
free for six months and $40 for the
first child born. Arthur Richardson,
an apprentice, married and for the
first half year paid no rent and when
his first heir was born claimed the $40
bounty. The company denied his
claim, and not only refused to pay,
but demanded the rent. The case in
court hinged ON whether Richardson
married for love or to secure the
bonus, and as he declared that love
was the inducement the court ruled
that this was fatal to his case.

ELECTRICITY MADE BY WIND.
At Slight Expense 1t Is Possible to Fit

Your House with Incandescents
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 single mishap, and the storage
cells furnish current for twenty
four incandescent lamps in Mr.. Corco-
rams residence. Everything points to
the complete success of the scheme.
The mill has diameter of eighteen
feet, and at speed of twenty miles
an hour is capable of delivering three
horse power. The dynamo driven by
belt from the main gear charges 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 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 a very costly struc-
ture, and any one who owns a 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-
dences of the owners and those of
their neighbors, as we'll 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 maximum
current capacity of thirty-f five amperes
at thirty-fve volts and is put into
action when the speed is 600 revolu-
+, tions 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 it is believed that success
can be had with the average rate OF
ia 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 IA
miles can be obtained at 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
Engineers now study applications
which were hardly considered proper
for sane man to consider q dozen
years ago.

TAKING SOUNDINGS AT SEA.
The Method by Which Eepth of Five
Miles Is Reached.

The Method by Which Eepth or Five
Miles Is Reached.
A ship regularly engaged in deep
sea sounding usually has the sound
ing machine mounted at the after
end, says the Popular Science Month
ly, and when about to sound is
brought to standstill with the
stern to the sea- The stray line,
with the sounding rod and sinker at
tached, is over the guide pully and
carefully lowered to the waters edge,
the register is set 10 zero, and the
deep sea thermometer is clamped to
the sounding line; a seaman is sta
toned at the friction line which con-
trolls the velocity with which the
wire is unreeled, another at the
brake, and a third on the grating
outside to handle the sinker and in
struments and to guide the wire as
it passes overheard; a machinist is
at the hosting engine, and the re-
corder takes position for reading
the register. When the sinker
is let go the vessel is maneuvered so
as to keep the wire vertical,
and the friction line is adjusted SO
as to allow it to descend from sew
enty to 100 fathom per minute. The
instant it strikes bottom, which is
Enthusiastically indicated by the sud
den release of the wire from strain.
the reel is stopped by the friction
line and brake; the recorder notes
the number of turns of the reel In
an hour this messenger of mans in
genuitY makes it's excursion through
five miles of watery waste to the
abysmal regions OF perfect reposc
and brings to the light of day the
soil with which the rain of shells
of minute infusorial organisms from
the upper waters has been for ages
mantling the oceans floor. Here
and there giant peak rising from
these sunless depths lifts it's head to
see the sky, and the dredge and
trawl tell US that all along his
rugged sides, ard on the hills and
plains below, and even in the inky
blackness and the freezing cold of
the deepest valleys, there is life!

The Era of Muscle.

This is an athletic age. Everybody
wants to be strong. The craze-for it has
we'll nigh reached that stage-affects both
sexes and even childhood The pugilistic
phase of this fad in young America is by
no means morally promising But it is one
thing to be endowed with vigor and anoth or
to be Swallowed with muscle. Super mus
cularity is often induced by physical effort
perilous to health and calculated to shorten
life. The vigor which means a regular and
efficient discharge of the physical functions,
is the first medium at which all may safely
aim without causing ruptures or breaking
blood vessels. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is largely conducive to gain in vigor of
this sort, Stree it stimulates and assists
digestion. promotes regular bilious secre-
ton and keeps the bowels in order Sleep,
that grand recuperator Of nervous vigor, is
encouraged by it, and itremedies malarial
rheumatic and kidney trouble.
