A Speed EquaIizer.
One of the most important features OF
this new contrivance Is what is called a
speed equalizer Of special construction by
which the surplus energy generated by
high winds is mechanically stored and de-
livered to the batteries in a comparatively
uniform manner
AS 1t is necessary that dynamo must
attain a sufficient velocity to give an
electro-motive force sufficient to overcome
the back electro-motive force of the bat
terry, 1t was therefore necessary to devise
some means Of preventing the current
from the storage battery passing back to
the dynamo when not needed.
This was accomplished by a device
which, when the electro-motive force of
the dynamo rose to a given point, would
connect with the circuit, thereby sending
1t into the storage battery, and again
opening the Circuit when, owing to de-
creasing speed of the dynamo, the cleo
tro-motive force falls below that of the
storage battery.
In every way this windmill electric
plant has proved itself success under
even the most varying conditions. The

estate burn as steadily as any electric
| lights, maintaining an unvarying unifor-
nifty, no matter whether there is a gale
blowing or a dead calm.
The entire plant is as nearly self-acting
as it is possible to make machinery, abso-
lutely no attention being necessary except
once in two weeks when it is cleaned and
oiled.
The first cost is practically all the ex-
pense and following this example the
time is not far distant when private cleo
trio light plants operated by wind will
be the property of every owner of coun-
try estate when large number of lights
| are desirable.

the money itself. The secret was told by
the wife only when she felt deaths APP
proach. Then, calling her husband to
the bedside, she told him to tear up the
carpet of the bedroom at a certain place.
He did so, and found $4,000 neatly con
cealed. Mrs. Thompson finished her story
by saying that she also had $4,000 in the
Hibernian bank.
British Biz was dumfounded, and
asked his wife how she had got together
so much money. She replied that she had
been saving ever since 1861, when Thomp-
son had started a boarding house. She
said she fully understood "Bills" gener-
GUS ways and felt that If she did not
quietly put away some money they
would have none when they became old.
Thompson said he did not keep very
close account of the money he took in,
and he remembers that when, after a good
turn of business or after he had received
lot of advance money, he would take to
drinking, and his wife would go through
his pockets and take all his money, no
matter where she found him, on the street
or in a saloon. This money and other
saved In household expenses was put
away.
British BnP' Thompson is one Of the
| characters of the water front. He is be-
tween so and 65 years of age. He has an
excellent reputation among men of his
class, and three years ago astonished tine
entire water front by Joining the Saliva
| ton Army. He is now an officer in the
corps.
