Electric Lights In Country Houses.

Electric Lights In Country Houses.
It is stated on what is thought to be
good authority that within few years
electric lighting by means of windmills
will be common in all country dis
tricts. The windmill has great posi-
bilities If properly arranged. It is sug-
gested that water may be pumped to a
reservoir and then utilized as power.
The objection to the windmill is that
there are many times when there is no
breeze and, of course, the windmill is
stationary. This would be certain 10
occur when it was most needed, and
might cause great inconvenience. A
well-filled tank or reservoir with a good
pressure would, on the contrary, be al
ways in working order, of course, ac-
cidents being allowed for. The best
reservoir would be of pipe standing up
right and closed in with suitable ma
sorry, spaces being left for air-cham-
bers to prevent freezing. The water
pipes could be laid under ground, and in
this way tank anywhere from ten to
thirty feet high might be filled by suit
able pumping apparatus. An extremely
small stream would be sufficient to
operate dynamo, and every house
could have its Independent electric
plant. The advantage Of bright lights
all around ones garden and farm
buildings will be readily understood
by the average farmer.

Indestructible Lamp wicks.


There is new wick which is made
of sort of clay. The clay when soft
has fine vegetable fiber mixed with it.
and this is by intense heat burned out.
This leaves the clay full of tiny holes
or pipes, and through them the flame
draws the oil by what is known as cap
Hilary attraction. The fame is said to
be perfectly odorless, there is no smoke
and the light is clear and white. The
wick is practically indestructible, and
requires no training or care for long
time, and then may, it is said, be
placed on a coal fire and burned out, re-
naming there until it reaches clear
red heat, almost white. The only objec-
ton to these wicks is their extreme
delicacy, as little blow, or dropping
them, of course destroys them alto
gether. In the management of lamps
experts say that chimneys should never
be touched with water, as it renders
them more likely to break. The reason
for this is that there are certain
portions Of the glass that may not have
been thoroughly fired. Moisture getting
into this is absorbed. and when the
chimney becomes instantly hot the ex-
pansion cracks the chimney. It is a
curious fact that an article in such
universal use as a lamp is so little
understood and so awkwardly handled.

Just touches the inside of the periphery
of the rubber tire. When the wheel re-
wolves 80 as to press against this
cushion, 1t moves in with the usual
pumping process. forcing the air into
the tube. When the pressure is re-
Taxed, as the wheel turns away from
that side, the rod springs back and re-
mains SO until the wheel again turns to
this point. 1t is an exceedingly simple
and practical invention, and saves a
great deal Of pumping, which must al
ways be done when one has the least
time to spare.

Ga. from Condensed Chemicals.

Among the promised blessings is
light produced by the decomposition by
air and moisture Of certain chemicals
that are compressed into tiny rolls or
rods. Upon being exposed to damp air.
the end Of the rod slowly dissolves, gen.
Grating a powerful, clear and not IN
wholesome gas that can be piped
through dwelling and used after the
ordinary fashion. There is nothing in
the range Of average wants that is more
needed than this. The lighting prob
lem, especially in suburban localities,
is a stupendous one to struggle with.
Small towns where gas is used make
the cost of such lighting almost prohib-
tive. When one can have the material
for gas supplied as one of the regular
needs in an ordinary rod or tube at so
much per yard or pound, the question
Of lighting will be robbed of many of its
unpleasant features.

It was in 1886 when young Van Vleet
left his home at Fishkill, N. Y. and
entered the military academy; and OF
the class of AZ, which was graduated
fifty-five years ago last June, only Cen
eral George Getty of Washington and
he survive. Stewart Van Vleet was re-
tired from the army twelve years ago,
after he had reached the age Of sixty
eight, with the rank of brigadier-gen-
eral. For forty years his life was filled
with adventures. He passed safely
through five wars, was repeatedly hon
ored by his country was companion
of Sherman, Grant and Thomas; was
also greatly esteemed by Lincoln, and
is now highly valued as friend by
President Cleveland.

military experience?" asked General
Van Vleet. well, it's a dry subject
at the best but I am always ready to
oblige my friends, the newspaper men.

say too personal.
Il was born" he began, lin Addison
county, VT, on July q, 1915. When I
was boy my father removed to Fish
kill, N. Y, and at the age of twenty
one-in 1861 entered West Point.
General Ulysses S. Grant entered
the school three years afterward," he
continued, land for year he, as well
as General George H. Thomas and Cen
.ral w. T. Sherman, were comrades of
mine. I was successfully first corporal,
first sergeant and during the year with
Grant first captain of the cadet corps.
Years afterward President Grant used
to say to me: General, during my cadet
days I didn't know which was the great
est man-Napoleon, Wellington, or old
Van Vleet'" The general leaned back
in his chair and laughed heartily ut
the recollection.
AT the end of the Seminole war I
was stationed at Savannah, but when
the Mexican war began my company
was ordered to Monterey, where Cen
Taylor was in command. l was in COM

not explode. Vinton fell to the ground
dead: the conclusion had killed him.
I had the shell transported to Newport,
where 1t still rests on the top of Capt.
Vinton's grave. When the shell was
opened 800 musket balls were found in
it. After my service in Mexico I was
made quartermaster, with headquarters
at Denver.

them
who was the greatest general Of the
war;" asked the reporter.
Il would not dare say" answered the
old soldier. There were many great
men. Mcclellan was one of the great
est of our generals. but he had to suffer
because he was required to take a dis
membered and disheartened body Of
raw, undisciplined men and turn them
into trained troops. But he was sue
cessful in this, and gave over to the
United States one of the finest armies
in the world, every man in it seasoned
veteran. Grant was great man. He
had an indomitable will, unflinching
courage and an unyielding determine
ton. He was also master tactitian.
Sherman and Thomas were two others
of our greatest leaders,"

and up to the broad porch Of charm

middle Of well-kept grounds. On the
veranda was a ruddy-faced old gentle
man, seated in an old-fashioned rocker
built solely for comfort.
General Stewart Van Vleet advanced
to greet the reporter with a step almost
as martial as when, over half a century
ago, he marched at the head of the
cadet corps at West Point. And yet
only a month ago he celebrated the
eightieth anniversary of his birth.

body from Singapore. The customs in
spectors refused to admit it, claiming,
Mr.. Burns vows, that it was the body
of dead savage. 1t was locked up in
the United States stores until it was
definitely identified as a pongo. The
beast, a male, is only four feet In

arms. Malays captured it in the
mountains Of Malacca and brought 1t
in safely as far as Singapore. Here it
escaped and severely injured one of the
party. In revenge they stoned him to
death. The body is covered with long,
loose, red hair, and has a pair Of chin
whiskers and a mustache. The face Is
almost fat, the mouth enormous.

from the chin to the top Of the forehead
