that windmills were employed In use

before Columbus discovered America.
These old windmills were quaint af.

the vagaries Of the wind. A later de.

later the roof Of the building was pivot.

be overcome by storing up the energy

Tht ran.Amel tcun Exposition will
prove tn =" of morr Genuine benefit to
those interested In the proper care OF
live stock than any previous effort in
this direction. Stable construction Is
n question that appeals with great
force to every farmer who Is anxious
to secure good results. The question
OF expense is a great barrier to the
proper building Of this necessity. Tn.
fortunately some of the early examples
| Of good stables were built by men Of
large means. regardless of what the
cost might be. AS result practical
farmers were slow to take the matter
up. as the idea OF properly construct.

, with great expense.

A system Of ventilation should be
provided that will ventilate. Anything

the light ordinarily we also shut out
the fresh air. without which no an.
imal can thrive. Many stockmen are
careful about the quality Of the food.
though careless about everything else
In connection with the stable. In this
manner they are protecting their stock

PROPULSION OF LIGHT.

More Than Three Hundred Thousa nd
Lamps at Pan-American.
1t has been said that the Pan Amer
lean Exposition will be Rainbow
City by day and City Of Light by night,
and II this be true 1t should prove the
most beautiful sight Of its kind ever
crested for the delectation Of the hu.
man vision.
Much has been written about the illu.
limitations Of the Exposition. but the
public is scarcely aware Of the mag
nificence of the scene which Is to be
created by the use Of incandescent
lights In such generous profusion about
the main court Of the Exposition and
the buildings Immediately surrounding
It. When one says that 100000 of
these lights are to be used. the figures
look large. but they are nevertheless
true. Nor does this include all the
lights that are to be used In the general
illumination Of the Exposition. for on
the Midway several concessions. such
as the Thompson Aeric Cycle. Streets
Of Mexico and some others will use as
many a. 1000 lights each. In the
buildings and about the border of the
grounds will be arc lights, while incan.
descent lamps viii also be used by
many individual exhibitors. Thus the
figures 100000 will be considerably In.
creased. The illumination OF the Elec.
trio Tower is going to be not only as.
tonishing and novel. but truly artistic.
