The regulation jumbo mill is set per-
manently to face the north or south
and thus catch the force Of the prevail
ing winds. But when the winds blow
from another direction these mills
would be of no use, so this difficulty Is
overcome by putting up "univcrsal'
jumbOs which are set on n screw, and
which will turn with the wind in any
quarter. Sometimes. too, jumbos are
set up in pairs quartering the compass,
and with such an inexpensive machine
it is easy to do this. The merry-go
rounds look like huge side wheels Of
steamers set horizontally on towers.
In the general class of turbine mills
are included the Holland mills, the bat
tleax mills, with two, four, six and
eight fans; the giant battlenx, the mock
turbine-the fixed, revolving, with and
without understand the reconstruct
ed turbines, which last named usually
are the shop-made ones which have
been injured and are bought cheaply
and repaired.
The battleax mill gets its name from
its resemblance in the arms and the
blade to the AK. Like the Jumbo. 1t u.s.

ton, and as the prevailing winds Of
Nebraska are from these points Of the
compass. 1t is seldom that these mills
cannot be used. The axis of this mill
may be of wood gaspipe, shafting or
an iron rod. The battleax mill of J. a.
Carroll, near Overton, cost $25-morc
than the average. because it has n thlr-
ty-barrel tank connected with 1t. Near
Grand Island, Diedrich !Iuennecke
spent $14 ON bnttleax mill and tank.

and supported by Mr.. Moody, and are
now among the most fiourishing edu-

rian in every respect. lie preached
the broad doctrine Of Christianity to
NIL alike. He was born I'm Unitarian

liberation for every other mans belief.
Mr.. Moody was a plain, everyday
sort of man without any pretensons
to the style and forms of the world.
When not holding revivals he worked
on his farm and delighted In the work.
He arose every morning ut : O'Clock
and rain or storm couldn't keep him in
doors. He was always strong, rugged
and active He was a social man and
q jolly companion. In his home life
he was an ideal husband and father.
He studied the Bible closely and was
n great reader Of newspapers and cur
rent literature. Although he appeared
to speak off-hand, he gave great prep
aration to his sermons, and 1t Is said
that he has given as much as two
years to the formation Of one sermon.
AS a speaker he was plain, witty. SYM
pathetic and enthusiastic. The legacy
which he bequeathed to his family
was the continuation of the work that
he considered he had only begun.

Top" 1t Is the summit of n gradual
rising slope. and Is crowned with more
than a score Of sturdy old pines left
from the forests of years ago. In the
shade of these trees Dwight l.. Moody

the hill over which they keep silent sen

list have been given to the grave. 1t Is
a fitting restingplace Cor lover of ma

OF the world that knew him. and the
plain, rugged beauty of the surrounding

character of the man.
People who have listened to MIR.
Moody or who have come within the in
fircnce Of his personality have wonder
cd why he seemed to affect them more
than any other person that they hal
ever heard or seen before. To some
small extent this was owing to what Is
usually called personal magnetism, but
the secret of his power lay in the fact
that he was one Of the greatest stu
dents Of humanity that the world has
ever known; that he could feel, and did
feel, as others felt; that he looked upon
the practical side Of things and used
practical means to secure results. lie
did not fight the devil with snowballs
Of eloquence. or use soothing lotions
upon his scared victims; he fought
with fire. and applied the strongest an
tidotes. He possessed the skill OF

realized that practical work was as nee
essary as preaching. At one time

A German engineer has brought for.
ward new method Of constructing
chains so as to eliminate the weakness
due to faulty material or construction,
which sometimes occurs in chains made
of solid metal. The method consists in
winding wire into links and binding the
turns Of wire by dipping in bath OF
liquid zinc or other nOncorrosve
material. The wired links may also be
stiffened by being wound on an Internal
steel lin 'ng adopted to receive the wrap-
pings of wire. 1t Is claimed that chains
made by this method provide equal
strength with less waste Of metal.

Mrs. Hart still in New York.

New York. Oct. 2O--A new chapter In
the career Of Mrs. Annie Hart the sweet
heart of willie Schreiber, who robbed
the Elizabethport Bank OF SlO6,OOO. was
furnished yesterday by her friends in
Knoxville. Tenn.
When Mrs. Hart disappeared from the
hat I'm West Fifty-first street last Sun
day IL was said that she started for her
old home in Knoxville She did not return
South, but unless she does return or
within the next few days communicates
with her husband. Lee Sharp, property
owned Jointly by the couple will be
awarded to her husband
Lee Sharp is n well known saloon keep
er I'm Knoxville. lie met Annie Hart who
was then plain Annie Jones, a school girl,
and after a short courtship they were
married. One child was born and was
named Lee.
The child only lived two years. After its
death Mrs. Sharp entered upon the life
that brought her 10 this city.
HER PROPERTY AT KNOXVILLE.
When sic left Knoxville she owned in
her own name a six-room cottage. worth
probably $3.50 and another house was
owned jointly by herself and her husband.
For the past five years the rent from the
cottage has been accommodating and is
held for her by Lawyer Alexander Nc
MILAN.
Lee Sharp. not having heard OF his wife
from the time she left him until he read
of her relations with Schreibel, now
wants the property owned Jointly by
them.
Through Lawyer r. +. Mynalt he has
instituted in the Knoxville courts pro-
ceedings 10 have his wife's interest de-
clared null and void. Unless Mrs. Hart re-
turns TO Knoxville 10 defend the suit, un-
der the laws OF Tennessee a judgment will
be entered giving the property TO her hus-
band. Sharp.
Judge Gilhooly. of Elizabeth. says he is

given 10 Mrs Hart by Schreiber The
Jewels were captured through legal pro-

reticent The jewels are part OF the lot
put up as security for loan with New

STILL IN NEW YORK.
Judge Gilhooly said that Mrs. Hart was
still i'm New York city. lie also said that
she was not now under surveillance by
the police. The bank directors have all
along known of her location.
From his conversation IL would seem that
the possessions OF the famous Mrs. Hart,
which were purchased by Schreiber with
the banks money, are now, or shortly
will be, i'm the possession of the bank.
