chat that city must be looked upon as
the center of the wind wheel trade.
(Perhaps this fact has in some meas
nre contributed toward the establish
ment on permanent basis of the ap-
pellation 'Windy City" as applied to
Chicago)
The use of the wind machine as a
motor is, however, still in it's infancy.
There can be little doubt that the wind
will become the prime motive power
of the future, not only for all kinds
of work to be done in rural districts,
but also in the cities for such work
as requires but a moderate expendi-
,ture of power.
Work which does not require any
definite time for its accomplishment,
such as wood-sawing, pumping wa
ter grinding grain and cutting feed,
lis now accomplished by the wind
wheel, and it only needs the invention
Of some convenient means of storing
up the energy of the wind, so that the
power derived from it may be avail
able at any time, to make it a univer-
bdl ldbOl-SdNel. II is luOSl plODdDle
that the conserving of wind power will
take place through the use of storage
batteries, and it's transmission will oc-
cur electrically The use of wind pow
er in COMPRISING air and storing the
latter for future use also offers great
possibilities The simplest way to Sc
cure this power will be to mount small
wind wheels above the roofs of houses,
each house with wheel Of size suf-
ficient to meet it's needs. 1t would
Indeed at first be strange sight to
see thousands of whirligig wheels on
the roofs of a city, but after the nov
city has worn away we should not
mind them any more than we do the
rows Of chimneys which exist at the
present time.
There Is no reason to doubt that in
the course of time there will be erect
ed great machines which shall collect
the wind power in such quantities as
will allow it's transmission from CEN
trail power houses, as at present accom-
plished by other sources of energy. Or
wheels may be set up at regular inter-
walls and each be expected to contrib
ute power enough to operate a plant
within a certain precinct.
We can very readily calculate lust
what wind power is available over

A Freak Explosion,

A happening of SO peculiar a nature
as to seem out of place except in the
pages of fiction and which occurred
few days since in northern New York,
has caused considerable discussion
among those interested in extraora-
nary occurrences. Last Saturday evan
ing, the steam boiler in a grist mill at
Lisbon, st. Lawrence county, exploded
just as an Ogdensburg & Lake Cham
plain railroad freight train was pass
ing. The force of the explosion raised
the boiler, great mass of metal
weighing thousands of pounds, through
the roof of the building which inclosed
it, throwing it $50 feet in the air across
one of the freight cars. Although the
shock Of its fall was terrific, no wreck
was caused and the train proceeded to
the next station. There were a num-
Der Of men employed near the boiler at
the time of the explosion and also there
were several on the train but no one
sustained an injury.

A Handy Power
That Costs But
Little.% %~~~

flcultles to be encountered and over
come in making use of this energy are
purely mechanical ones. Two prob
lens come up for solution:
First-To construct machine which
will transmit the energy of the mov-
ing air with least loss of power. The
ingenuity of the American inventor has
been fully exercised in the addition of
such improvements to wind wheels as
shall reduce to the minimum the loss
if power in their operation. Notwith-
standing these efforts, there is still
much room for Improvement for it is
conceded that even with the best
wheels, large percentage Of the
available power is lost.
Second-To construct the machine of
such dimensions and place it in such
a position that it will produce the de-
sired power. In order to do this it is
necessary to know how much wind
actually exists in different localities,
and also how much power is developed
by winds of different velocities.
There are two ways of stating the
strength Of the wind. We can either
say the wind presses on a surface with
force of so many pounds per square
foot of surface; or we can say that the
wind blows a certain number of miles
per hour; that is, the air is moving so

In Norway the ski is in constant use
during the winter, and the ease with
which great distances can be covered
is surprising. Peasants are thus able
to get about their work and visit
friends in faraway districts. Sports
men, with gun on back and stick in
hand, set out in pursuit of game on
ski, and the soldiers are reduced to
this means of getting about when ex-
ercising. A regiment Of soldiers on ski

Etiquette of the Sick Room.

In the sick room try to keep the con-
versation as much as possible on other
subjects besides the illness of the pa
tient. Avoid speaking of the illness of
anyone. What you say to the sick one
should be something cheerful. and how
much better and brighter the patient
seems. Never tell anyone that they
look so ill., no matter what you
think, for such remarks have depres-
sing effect on the patient and surely
does nobody any good. A bright,
cheerful, jovial, happy, hopeful person
entering a sick room is like the rays
Of the morning sun shining on droop-
ing plant. The effect is electrical and
the patient is at least temporarily lift

tLOndOn Letter.
Inc coming coronation of King Ed
ward OF England naturally calls atten-
tloll 10 piece of red sandstone which
IS embedded in the coronation chair in
westminster Abbey, and which is val
ued so highly that many learned men
have predicted the downfall of the
English should anything happen to it,
writes John De Morgan
The antiquity of this stone, which is
known as Liza Fail, or stone of destiny,
Is not doubted. 1t is admitted that Ed
Ward l. remoxed it from Scone, in Scot
land, to Westminster Abbey, in which
place it has been ever since,
On searching among the records Of
the past, separating what undoubtedly
might be termed fable from fact. we
find that the stone was sent from Ire
land to Scotland in the sixth century
for the coronation of Fergus MacEarca
who was of the Milesian race, and from
that time to the reign of Edward at the
end OF the thirteenth century, it re-
mained in Scotland and was used at the
coronation of the Scottish Kings.
In the early years of the sixth CEN
tury Mutogh MacEarca the reigning
monarch of Ireland, had a brother,
Fergus, who became chief, or king of
the Irish colonies and settled in the
colony later known as Scotland. In Or
der to impress the people with his
right to govern over them and at the
same time to satisfy his own con-
science that he was the rightful king,
he asked his brother to send over the
stone of destiny, that he might be
crowned upon it, thus giving him Sc
curity upon the throne After the
stone was taken from Tara, in Ireland,
to Scotland, it remained for a long
time at the monastery of st. Columkill,
at Iona, in the Hebrides. Thence it
was taken to Dunstaffnage, in Argyles-
Shire, the earliest royal residence of the
Irish kings of Scotland and in the
ninth century it was removed to Scone,
whence Edward l., in 1926, removed it
to Westminster.
Long before the time of Fergus on
Murtogh the kings of Ireland, both of
the Tuatha-de-Danu and Milesian race,
had been crowned on the same stone.
The Tuatha de-Danaus are said to have
carried the stone with them to Ire
land and these people had lived several
centuries in Ireland before they were

The inland winds are much stronger

ENGLISH PRIME MINISTER'S,

Lord salisbury's Tenure of Office Has
Been Remarkably Long.
Lord Salisbury is not generally &C.
counted an ambitious man; if he were
he would be able to reflect with pride
that now he has been prime minister
of the United Kingdom for a longer
period than any statesman since the
first reform bill-in fact, ever since the
Earl OF Liverpool's famous administra-
tion of nearly fifteen years came to an
end in 1927 Mr.. Gladstone was prime
minister on four occasions, his tenure
OF the office lasting in all twelve years
and l41 days, and that is the record
"hlch the marquis has now beaten. It
Is interesting to reflect that, while Mr..
Gladstone's leadership was spread over
tWenty-s1x years, Lord Salisbury first
became prime minister less than six
teen years ago.
In the eighteenth century Sir Robert
Walpole was prime minister from 1921
TO l842 at stretch and had been at
the head of the government for two
years on a previous occasion. William
Fit was prime minister from 1888 to
1871, and again from 1904 to 1906. Lord
North had twelve years, from ITO to
1882. At the other end of the scale
canning was prime minister for only
l34 days, and was followed by five
others from 1927 to 1885 who only aver
aged about sixteen months office
apiece.

before Christ. According to this the
| stone must be 1000 years old. Very
early in the history of the stone we
find it called Jacobs stone, by which
name it is known in the annals of
! Westminster. 1t has been asserted that
the patriarch Jacob rested his head
upon it and that it is the identical
stone referred to in Genesis: "And
Jacob rose up early in the morning
and took the stone that he had put
for his pillow and set it up for a pill
lar"
Whatever be the facts about the
stone, history and tradition have wo-
ven much of interest about it.

Raisi,16 the Price of Anthracite

kafsi'19 the Price Of fAnfbracife.
According to New York dispatch it;
is the intention of the men who con-.
troll the anthracite coal mines to trans
fer $5O,000,000 to their pockets from
those of the consumers of hard coal:
by raising it's price 81 ton. There is
no difficulty about putting up the price,
but 1t does not follow that the mine!
owners will get s50,O0O,OOO more for
their total output than would be taken
in under the lower price. Some indis-'
Greet railroad managers boasted once
that their rule for fixing freight rates
was to make them as high as the traf-
f1c would bear. They were determined
to pluck the shippers, but they were
smart enough to know that there was
a point above which rates must not
be raised under the pealty of decreased
earnings. The anthracite men are
quite aware of the fact that there isl
point beyond which they cannot go!
without cutting down their gross re-;
ceipts, for there is at hand a substitute,
for their product in the form of bitu-l
minous coal Then there is the spec!
ter of public ownership of all mines
and all railroads. If the monopolists
would feed long they must feed mod

Hasvaii's Mixed Population.

Nowhere else in the world has there,
been such remarkable shifting in the|
relative strength of races as that which,
has occurred in the Hawaiian islands,
since 1896. The absolute changes may
first be indicated in a table as follows: !

The most interesting features in this,
table are the slight falling off in the
Hawaiian and part Hawaiian popula-i
tion, about 3 per cent in the one case.
and 7 per cent in the other, and the
enormous increase in the Japanese,
which amounts to ITO per cent Though
the whites have gained rs per cent and
the Chinese 80 per cent, the Japanese.
have so far outrun them both that their
increase upon the natives loses the i'm
portance that otherwise would attach
to it. 1t becomes merely an incident of
the foreign growth, which, while it
helps to emphasize the decline Of the
Hawaiians, has still loss of it's own to
account for.
