Rose Coghlan. who is shortly TO be the benef-
Ciary OF n dramatic performance organized by
the leading managers of this city and Il number
OF well-known people, told "A reporter yesterday
afternoon that the kilograms received from her
husband. John y. sullivan. who Is now acting
in San Francisco, were founded on the exager-
ated reports Of her present condition which
had been sent to the West.

have done all that was in his power. but salaries

Rom Ca. Nov. 22. The Tflon cotton factory
is in the heart of tho mountains on the Chat
tooga River. n bold stream that has its source
In some large streams gushing out from the
base Of the Lookout range. Its waters were
formerly as clear as crystal, nut since the clear
ing of the valleys and mountain sides for cultl-
walton 1t becomes muddy after rein.
A few days since tho superintendent OF tho
factory discovered that there was something
defective in Tho power. which Is furnished by a
turbine water wheel. The water was shut OF
SO that an Investigation could be made. The
siuice yates wero raised and tho water drained
from the canal and pier head, and, the wheel
box vas opened. inside was found u mass OF
wrlgaling cells. Weighing from one to four
pounds. each. They were SO inextrlcably
among the blades OF the wheel that the force OF
the water, although IL amounts to several hun
bred horse power. was insufficient TO turn tho
machinery.
This mill hands were summoned. and tho work
OF removing the cells was begun. There were
100 ee!s, and the entire mass tipped the beam at
204 pounds, The stream has long been famous
FOR its cells, but this is the largest single catch
that has been made in Georgia. There Is no
telling how many smaller ones got through to
the pond beyond the lam.

though siyty-seven counties have for 1nany

of Pennsylvania, Nebraska now has ninety. and
Some of them are 80 small in area and pop

ELECTRICITY FROM A TINDMILL.
Mr.. Feeiy'n Plant for lishtlng His House
Said TO he the Oniy One Of the Kind.

Shtu 10 no ~ Vniy Sh u II Atnu
wALPoLE, Mass. Nov, %. After expert
ments extending over two years, Joseph j.
Feely of this place has succeeded in installing
an electric plant run by a windmill. by means
OF which his house. stables, and grounds are
lighted by electricity. 1t is said to DO the first
and only really successful windmill electric
lighting plant constructed at o reasonable cost.
In the development OF this plant the main
obstacle. from an electrical point Of view. was
the variability Of the wind and the resulting
erratic fluctuations of the electric pressures,
which rendered their utilization impossible, and
also subjected the ordinary mechanical connec-
tions to excessive and fatal strains. To over
come this, there were devised a self-regulating
constant voltage dynamo and q so-called speed
equalizer. The windmill shaft is connected
with the speed equalizer, which has means for
mechanically storing energy and for oyercom-
ing the frequent temporary subsidings of tho
wind. The wind power. after having been con-
verted into electric energy. is conveyed to a
system of storage batteries, from which in turn
the electric service is drawn. An ingenious coz
trolling device prevents the reaction of the
storage batteries upon the DYNAMO and a re-
sulting fatal reversal of the whole process.
Ihs osp hn;b NE Srou t ,ha mas mas t 5,a,as WIND
Bureau and from continuous personal observa-
tons made under his direction. and finds that
the actual wind energy available for his equip
ment is far in excess OF the requirements OF his
own or other like residences. the storage CA
pacity being am pie TO bridge him over any pos
sihie period OF calm. This plant has been SO
nicely adjusted that it Is possible to utilize a
very much lower rate OF wind speed than has
ever been attempted before.
Another feature Of this plant is that 1t could
he duplicated for about seven or eight hundred
dollars. and as 1t can be run for "A dozen or ff-
teen years with practically no expense. other
than for lubricants and occasional Cleaning. it
could be brought within the reach of a very
large number OF people. Mr.. Feely's early ex-
periments taught him that "a plant OF this kind
could not be operated, even with the primary
generating energy free OF cost. II constant per-
honai supervision WAS necessary. and this sys-
TEN has been so arranged that IT is entirely
and need not be looked after oftener
than once or twice i'll u fortnight.
One OF the things that strike the average ob-
server in an examination Of the plant 10 the alb
solute and unvarying uniformity OF the lights,
even in the midst OF the most fitful and chang
inE winds, which do not seem To have any effect
whatever upon the lamps. This system has
been in operation now for several months. and
has been subjected to almost every possible test.
and seems 70 be equal TO any contingency that

barking at him.. lie fred at 1t. He was sur
prised to see 1t drop from a tree a great deal
nearer to him than the one he thought he had
seen 1t run into. He went and picked 1t up.
Then he walked on to the tree where no thought
he had seen the squirrel. There he found an
other dead squirrel on the ground. Judge Ham
had aimed At this one. He hadn't seen the one
that sat on the nearer tree. Why he hadn't, he
can't say, But no killed both ut one shot.
