have of windmill being employed to
do any work was in Alexandria $50
b. c., when an invention driven by
wind power was employed to operate a
musical instrument. As even this must
have been the product of evolution 1t
leaves us entirely in the dark as to
the actual origin. However, we know
that windmills were employed in use
full labor in many parts of Europe long
before Columbus discovered America.
These old windmills were quaint af-
fairs. Some of them floated on wa
ter and were turned by hand to meet
the yagaries of the wind. A later de-
velopment was built on a post. and still
later the roof of the building was pivot
ed, which allowed the building itself to
remain stationary.
nineteenth century to construct wind
engine that was at once simple. useful
and practical The amount of power
developed and usefully applied by this
time honored invention amounts In
the aggregate to hundreds Of thou
sands of horsepower.
At the Pan-American Exposition a
group Of windmllls will be gathered to-
gether and planted in a corner of the
grounds. where they will be required
to pump water and in other ways
demonstrate their usefulness. These
will comprise many different types,
showing the evolution of the engine
from the old fashioned four sail pat
tern down to the ordinary multitude
nous sprocket plan In which the sail
area is automatically adjusted to the
wind pressure and the speed is regu-
lated by a governor. Some Of these
engines will develop q tremendous
power, while others are simply devised
as cheap and reliable means Of work
ing farmers pump.
Experiments extending over period
of years have been conducted for the
purpose of generating electricity by
this means. Developments along these
lines so far have not been entirely sat
isfactory, though indications point to
ultimate success. The difficulties met
with are principally owing to the In
cOuSlducy VI the Wluu, WHICH must
be overcome by storing up the energy
of the gale to be given of as required.
AS the slow development Of the storage
battery retards this important achieve
ment we await with impatience the
improvements in this direction that we
know ought TO be made. The time will
undoubtedly come when electric light
ing will be done in this manner-in
fact, the electric light plant in a viii
-lage in Scotland is now partially OPP
Grated by a wind wheel which is built
on the horizontal principal.
To those unfamiliar with the pro-
duction of the wind engine as used at
the present time a visit to this section
of the Exposition will be a revelation.
Hitherto this early invention has been
useful merely to the farmer and stock
man. Possibilities In the immediate
future point to much wider and more
extended usefulness when power from
this source will be bottled up In storage
batteries and shipped to distant points
to be used In the mechanic arts.
