USE OF WIND
WHEELS,-~.-

Wind wheels have been in use for
a thousand years. The ponderous and
unwieldy old-world wind wheel has
given place to the compact snug wheel
OF Yankee manufacture, just as the
old-time water wheel has been dis
placed by the turbine. The old-fash-
toned wind wheel, like its contem-
porary paddle or bucket water wheel,
had to be built where 1t was to be
used; while the new wind wheels, like
the turbines, can be readily trans
ported to any desired location. 1t Is
undoubtedly the hardness of the
American wind wheel which has SO
strongly recommended the machine to
the agricultural class. for 1t is that
class which at present is its chief user.
1t will not be far out OF the way to
estimate the number of wheels In the
United States at upward OF 600, 900.
These wheels are. however, In the
main 20 small and unobtrusive, and
we have become SO accustomed to see-
ing them that they are hardly noticed
unless displayed In unusually conspic-
uous places
There have been about one hundred
Arms engaged In the manufacture of
wind wheels In the United States, and
two-thirds OF these have been located
within short distance of Chicago, so

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

fculties 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 NOV
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 LOSE
II power In their operation. Notwith-
standing these efforts, there Is still
much room for improvement, for 1t is
conceded that even with the best
wheels, a large percentage OF the
available power is lost.
Second--To construct the machine Of
such dimensions and place 1t in such
a position that 1t will produce the de-
sired power. In order to do this 1t 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 certain number of miles
per hour; that is, the air is moving 80

that that city must be looked upon as
tho center of the wind wheel trade.
(Psrhaps this fact has in some meas
are contributed toward the establish
ment on a permanent basis of the APP
pcllation Windy City" as applied to
Chicago)
The use of the wind machine as a
motor is, however still in its infancy.
There can be little doubt that the wind
will become tho 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
rs requires but moderate expendi-
ture OF power.
Work which does not require any
definite time for It's accomplishment.
such as wood-sawing. pumping wa
ter. grinding grain and cutting feed,
Is now accomplished by the wind
wheel. and 1t only needs the invention
lof some convenient means of storing
up the energy OF the wind, so that the
power derived from 1t may be avail
able at any time, to make 1t a univer-
sal labor-sayer. 1t is most probable
that the conserving of wind power will
take place through the use of storage
batteries, and its transmission will oc-
cur electrically. The use of wind pow
lsr 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 roots of houses,
each house with a wheel of a size suf-
.ficient to meet its 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
elty 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 its 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 plant
within certain precinct.
We can very readily calculate just
what wind power is available over
any chosen area and within the limits
OF any designated height. The dit

many miles an hour. The wind force
or wind pressure varies with this wind
velocity.
The inland winds are much stronger
ON the great plains than In any other
section. In Kansas and Nebraska the
winds are nearly twice as strong as in
the Ohio River valley. These veloci-
ties refer to the winds az experienced
on the tops of houses in city, or
twenty-five feet above the ground In
unsheltered positions in open fields.
All countries are not as we'll stu
ated as the United States for obtain
Ing wind power. In general the re-
gions between the ATTITUDES 30 deg.
and So deg. present the most desirable
wind power.-Boston Herald.

A Captured Whale.
Some ten or twelve years ago whale
fioundered into Oyster bay. just north
Of the Columbia river mouth, and In
the state of Washington. The bay is
shallow and there is sand bar at the
entrance to it; but the whale must
have ridden in on big wave. At any
rate, the next morning perhaps the
maddest whale in the world was
charging up and down the bay, run

Open Markets for Roundup Bales.

More rOundlap bales are being used
in Southern mills this season than ever
before. The Massachusetts Mills at
Lindale, Ga, and the Langley Manu-
featuring Co, and the Granitevllle
Manufacturing Co., at Augusta, Ga,
have spun large quantities of cotton
baled by this process with entire salts
faction. These bales would DO used
more largely i'm the South were it not
for the fact that they car be sold more
profitahly to foreign %spinners, who will
take every roundlap bale made. In Or
der to demonstrate the rounblap bales
advantage, the American Cotton CO., is
disposed, on even terms, to give the
American spinners the preference.
Whether sold at home or abroad, every
bale that leaves u rOundlap press has u
wide and steady market at top prices.
While the American Cotton Co., is
always ready to buy rOundlap bales, it
does not require that a single bale be
sold to its cotton department, licensees
and other owners of rOundlap bales be-
ing free to sell in the open market to
the buyer who will pay the most money.
So far from discouraginR, the company
welcomes the competition of other buy
ers for roundlap bales. The farmer
who hauls his cotton to a roundlap gin
can sell it OF tho spot at the highest
market price. or he can hold it with the
that his roundlap bales will
always bring their full value. The
American Cotton Co., makes liberal ad-
vances on "held" roundlap bales.
