USE OF WIND


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-tipe water wheel has been dis
placed by the turbine. Tho old-fash-
toned wind wheel, like its contem-
porary paddle or bucket water wheel,
had to be built where it was to be
used; while the new wind wheels, like
the turbines, a be readily trans
ported to any desired location. It 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 so small and u~nobtrusive, 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
firms engaged in the manufacture of
wind wheels in the United States, and
two-thirds of these have been located
within a short distance of Chicago, so

When the reporters went to investi-
gate the death Of one John Costello
whom h police described as a labor
err" because he was poorly-dressed,
they found that the man had died in a
saloon connected with. Taylor's hotel,
No. 2, Roosevelt street, and that he
was an old-time circus man, since fall
en- on misfortune and bad habits. Ac-
cording to one Of his cronies. his circus
name was Dan Costello, and he was TO.
many years one Of the most popular
clowns in Barnum's shows and in the
shows that combined with Barnum's
later on. Costello was sixty-flve years
old. He is said to have made a good
deal Of money in the circus business,
but he lost it all. When he retired he
went to New London, where he married
q widow and opened a saloon. His
friends say Of him that he was too
much Of a 'sport" himself and too good
a "spender" to succeed in the saloon
business, and it vas not long before he
had sunk all his money. He then came
to New York, and for some years
worked at odd jobs along the shore.
Last night he went to F. o. Miller, Of
Forepaugh & Sells circus, at Madison
Square Garden, and told his story. Mr..
Miller engaged him. Happy, Costello
went to Taylor's hotel and took a seat
in the bar room. Some of the people in
the Dom heard him humming Garry

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

ficulties 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 q 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 loss
II power in their operation. Notwith-
standing these efforts, there is still
much roc for improvement, for it 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 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 r two ways of stating the
strength of the wind. We can either
say the wind presses or a surface with
a 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

Look, love, how the woods are all
misty
With purple and gray!
And the soft mellow wind has a touch
OF e%nchantment today.
There is rain in the air, and a magic
Unloosing of bonds
A glad putting forth Of new life,
An unfolding Of fronds.
Whence come these old exquisite a
In crimson and green,
That walk through the valley and
quicken
The life that has been?
Whence come these old exquisite fer.

In yellow and blue,
That touch the frail flowers, and wakeD
Their beauty anew?
Whence come these old passionate
raptures
In whistle and trill,
That open the gates of the morning.
BY meadow and hill?
Whence come to the house Of the
spirit
Love, daring, desire,
To knock at the door-bid the in

Awake and aspire?

What April may bring,
But only cries, after long patience.

that that city must be looked upon as
the center Of the wind wheel trade.
perhaps this fact has in some meas
ure contributed toward the establish
ment on a 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 its 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,
is now accomplished by the wind
wheel, and 1t only needs the invention
of 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 la%bor-saver. It 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
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 q wheel Of a size suf-
,fcient to meet its needs. It would
indeed at first be a strange sight to
see thousands Of whirligig wheels on
the roofs of a city, but after the ov-
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 its transmission from CEN
trals 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 q plant
