AND GRANT WHITFIELD ON.
He Felt Confident That the Report Would
Prove Untrue.

Prove Untrue.
II is the opinion Of a veteran war CORE
spondent that good military commander
never loses his head and has very clear
idea of how battle should go because of
the way in which It is being fought in &C.
cordance with prearranged plans. He re-
lates numerous instances In support of his
theory, and among them Is this one;
"At the close of the first days battle In
the Wilderness Grant was sitting at his
headquarters surrounded by his staff and
several distinguished visitors. Suddenly
there was a yell from the Sixth corps OF
the right, rapidly fired volleys were heard,
and teams were seen hurrying to the rear
An excited officer rode up and announced
that the right flank had been turned that
the enemy had massed their whole force
TO crush Sedgwick and that Shaler's bri-
gade had been captured Grant, who sat
with his back to a tree whiting, never
changed countenance nor dropped stroke
with his keen edged knife.
Shall / order a division of the Ninth
corps to support the SIXTH asked Meade.
/" If you think best, was Grants reply,
1.-THE order was sent, and after several
minutes Grant turned to Congressman
Washburne who was his guest, and said
4 don't believe that story. Warren has
been fighting all day, and since midafter-
noon Hancock has been hammering away,
Lee simply hasn't had time nor oppor
tunity to mass his forces in front Of Sedg-
wick. We shall hear different report.
"Inside of half an hour an officer re-
ported that the enemy had been ropulsed
on the right instead of having turned the
flank, as at first reported, In all that time
Grant had not changed his position or
ceased to whittle But he was keeping up
the thinking OF brainy man who knows
his business. He had simply reasoned UNI
erringly from cause to effect, and ability
60 do this is absolutely requisite in every
successful general. detroit Free Press.

ELECTRICITY FROM WIND.
Reasons why This Method of Getting
IL Is Not More Generally Adopted


If we mistake not, DR.. Fridtiof Manson,
IN his last attempt to reach tho north pole,
had the Fran equipped with a specially
designed windmill which when operating
drove a dynamo and furnished he neces-
sary current for lighting pusposes An
aermotor erected on the roof of building
in Park place In this city has been for
some time successfully driving II dynamo
in connection with n storage battery plant
the current from which has been utilized
for incandesoent lighting. From this IL
will be seen that there is nothing very
new in the application Of windmills to the
driving of dynamos.
There are probably several reasons why
the windmill or aermOtor has not been
more universally adopted for the above
purpose. In the first place such Ia motive
power Is always moro or less uncertain
and cannot always be depended upon.
There may be a calm just at the time 1t Is
found necessary to roeharge the batteries,
or the batteries may be in use whom a
breeze springs up. This would neoessitate
having two sets Of batteries at consider
able cost. Another reason why aermotors
have not been more extensively adopted is
probably due to the fact that current can
now be generated with steam as motive
power very economically, especially In
large quantities. The erecting of an aor-
motor and tho installation Of q number Of
storage batteries with dynamo mean a
considerable outlay of money, especially
when the cost of maintenance and renew
ais is taken into account In certain cases
1t may be found that the interest on the
batteries, generator and windmill, with
the labor item figured in, will cost as
much in the long run as the current could
bc purchased for ON the outside.
But probably the chief reason why the
power of the wind Is allowed to go to
waste when it could be employed for gon-
Grating electricity is the same as that
which prevents the immense power deriy-
able from tho tides i'm both the Hudson
and East rivers from being utilized
namely, conservatism, or, if not lack Of
progress, q slowness in availing ourselves
Of opportunities Electricity.
