Bhadowed in Importance by the re-
markable voyage of Captain Joshua
Slocum around the world in a sloop
36 feet inches in length over all and
nine tons net burden. The solitary
Yankee sea king cruised 10000 miles
on all the oceans, ten times the dis

attempt to circumnavigate the globe

CHEAPER THAN THE GRAVE.
Cremation in Japan IL nm Exce.d-
ingiy Inexpensive Process,
Says This Account.

The advance of cremation in Eng
land, shown by the establish Of
municipal furnace in the north and
the projection of new crematorium
not far outside the four-mile radius in
London, recalls the interesting history
OF Japan in the matter. Cremation
followed Buddhism into Japan about
1,2OO years ago, but it only partially
superseded the Shinto custom of dis
posing of the dead by interment. In
1873 cremation was totally prohibited
by the japanese government. whose
members seem TO have had some con.
fused notion as to the practice being
un-European, and therefore barbarous.
Having discovered that, far from
being un-European, cremation was the
goal of European reformers in such
matters, they rescinded their prohi-
bitlon before two years had elapsed.
cremation in Japan is carried out in
a somewhat rough and ready manner.
me cheapest process costs about Slip.
Ihis is scarcely adapted to western
requirements and is sufficiently de-
tcrlbed by the title which the. foreign
residents of certain settlement In
Japan gave to the native cremation
ground among the hills-"Roast Meat

their lives to sailing the seas and
know their varying moods, and they
one and all regard it as most remark
able exploit.
Captain Slocum and the boat in
which he made his around the world
voyage will be at the Pan-American
Exposition next summer. The craft
will ride upon the waters of the Beau
tiful Park Lake, where it may be view
ed or boarded by Exposition visitors.
That it will prove to be a great at
traction goes without saying.
The intrepid Yankee globe circler is
a slender man, not above the medium
height and is somewhat bald, but there
is little gray in the fringe of surviving
hair or in his full beard. He has blue
eyes, which are frank and direct. He
possesses a dry humor which is very
amusing. That he Is daring and plucky
Is attested by his long and solitary
trip.
The boat in which Captain Slocum
made his voyage is named the Spray
1t was originally a fishing boat, sup
posed to be century old, and when it
came into Captain Slocum's possession
was in process of decay. Unaided. he
rebuilt 1t upon the original lines, and
the splendid manner in which it behav-
ed on the long tour is sufficient evil
dence that lie builded well.
Captain SiocUm sailed from Boston
on April "a, 1895, and his voyage con-
sumed 8 years and months, coming to
close during the Spanish-American
war. In lieu Of a chronometer he had
an old tin clock, but he was rarely at
fault in his longitude. The voyage was
attended with many unusual incidents.
The first occurred after the Spray had
left her first port of call, the Azores.
The Captain had eaten freely of plums
AMI a native cheese, and they did not
agree with him. He was attacked with
stomachlc cramps. He double reefed
the malnsail and with full jib put the
sloop on her course, lashed the wheel
and went below to the cabin, where he
rolled In agony on the floor. Becoming
dellrious, he imagined that q strange
man came on board. announced himself
as one VI COlullDuS crew ana 6ulueu
the craft, a blow came up. and the
Spray ran like deer. When the Cap
tain regained his full senses and was
able to 90 on deck, she was holding
true to her course. She had made 80
miles during the night in the rough sea.
The Spray went through the very
dangerous Straits of Magellan. whose
shores are strewn with wrecks and in
habited by pirates. without accident,
but after weeks consumed in the pas
sage was driven by a furious gale
southwark and thence eastward around
Cape Horn, necessitating a second pas
sage Of the Straits.
Captain Slocum was received at
every landing place with the most
cordial hospitality. for his name was
known the world around among sea-
faring men, and tho cabled news of
his progress went before him. In Sa-
moa Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson Wis
tied him. In Tasmania Lord Hampden
was caller. At the Cape Sir Alfred
Miner saw him. A pass over the
Cape railways permitted the skipper

have.of a windmill being employed to
do any work was in Alexandria 15O
B. c., when an invention driven by
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
ful 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 vagaries of the wind. A later de-
velopment was built on post. and still
later the roof of the building was pivot
ed, which allowed the building itself to
remain stationary
1t remained for the engineers of the
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 q
group Of windmills 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 10 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 tremendous
power, while others are simply devised
as a cheap and reliable means of work
ing a farmers pump.
Experiments extending over period
OF years have been conducted for the
purpose of generating electricity by
this means. Developments along these
lines 50 far have not been entirely sat
isfactory, though indications point to
ultimate success. The difficulties met
with are principally owing to the in
COuSlduCy OI the Wlnu, Which must |
be overcome by storing up the energy
of the gale to be given off as required.
AS the slow development of the storage |
battery retards this important achieve |
ment we await with impatence the
improvements in this direction that we |
know ought to he made. The time will |
come when electric light |
ing will be done In this manner-ln
fact, the electric light plant in a viii
lage in Scotland is~now partially op-
Grated by 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.

In the Behring straits Russia and
America shake hands. Big Diomede
island and Little Diomede stand side
by side, the former Russia's outpost,
the other our own. A little strip of
narrow sea lies between the two, and
so clear is the air on fair day that
it seems as if from one island you
could easily reach across "a hand to
the other. North, across Kotzeline
sound, is Point Hope, barren sand
spit, extending far into the Arctic
sea. 1t is the home of a tribe of Es-
kimos, who go to the mission school
and church and learn to sing hymns,
to speak a little English and to use
soap.
