LIGHTING DWELLINGS.
Wind Power Utilized for Producing
Electric Light.

1t appears that wind power is already
utilized in producing electric light at
the New Brunswick On. j. Insane Asy-
lum. 1t need not be inferred, however,
that the use of the windmill in this
connection is due to the character of the
institution where used, for it is COM
plete success, as would appear by the
following from the american EX-
porter:
"A most successful electric light in
stallation on somewhat novel lines has
been effected at a New Brunswick On.
j. lunatic asylum. Near the asylum
is a piece of high ground, upon which a
vertical windmill of 10-horse power has
been erected, to be used for driving a
dynamo to generate electricity for
charging the storage cells Of the insti-
tuition. This windmill differs materially
from the ordinary windmill so much in
vogue in Holland and other Continental
countries, as well as from the modern
American type, ali of which have to be
brought up to the wind by means of a
vane or worked around by hand, thus
losing time and wind. 1t is constructed
to move in a horizontal plane about a
vertical axis, thereby bringing quite a
new feature into practice for the utili-
zatiOn of the much-neglected wind
power. 1t consists of eight semi-cy-
lindrical boxes, each II feet long by q
feet, neatly and securely fixed on the
ends Of ) pitch pine arms y feet long
and 6 inches square. These are con-
nected to an upright shaft attached to
a pit-wheel, which moves a fly wheel
connected with a 10-horse power dyna-
mo. For two months the mill has
worked steadily day and night without
requiring any attention whatever, thus
saving the wages Of attendants. 1t is
found to be exceptionally strong, and is
unaffected by the breezes which carry
away windmills of ordinary cOnstruc-
ton. 1t is fitted with an automatic
'cut-Out,' which makes contact as the
gearing is moved around, so that the
electricity generated passes along the
overhead wires to the cells. situated in a
building 100 yards distant. The ma
chine takes up very little room, and it
stands the wear and tear Of work so
well that it promises to becone-in pos
sibly a smaller size of cheaper construc-

THE UP-TO-DATE WOMAN.

The uD-to-date woman-the immaculate
human,
Bedecked with her bloomers-on wheels,
Is a picture so charming that all

Falls out with her rotating heels.

pitity-patting
In their old unconventional way:
But the up-to-date girl sets the brain a. a
WhirI
And has certainly come here to stay.
In her Gay of creation there was no inno-
walton,
And Eden uncursed iwth red tape,
Made room for sweet Eve, and with no

Fell in love with her beautiful shape.
Though she came in his sleep Adam
laughed to a weep
At the angel he wakened to wed:
Ana their love was the sweetest and iOy
the completest,
Till the serpent put wheels in her

 The interests of the territories are identical. The nominee and the policy that is beneficial to one is equally to the benefit of the others. In a union of the kind proposed there is strength, and if the territories decide to stand together they will command the same degree of respect accorded to larger states. -.-.
