The Honorable Theopilus Lane bent
from his towering height to take the
little old lady's hand in his and as he
gazed in the earnest face, transdgured
by the light Of a firm resolve, he felt
a thrill that not all the applause from
one Of his famous speeches had had the
power to waken.

Light for Country Electric
lighting Is commonly IN the country
regarded as exclusively q city luxury.
Il IS likely that che expense Of carry
ing wires from house to house IN thin
ly settled districts would be too great
10 make Il possible to furnish electric
light on a large scale economically.
But the experience OF Nansen's ship.
the Fran. on her northern voyage
shows that electric lighting By wind
power. transmitted to batteries, and
stored as electricity, Is entirely p0ssi-
bic. In the high northern latitudes
fuel was much too precious to be used
IN making electric light SO q big
windmill was set up. which was run
whenever the wind was favorable. and
by storing electricity made a steady
light an through the dark northern
winter. Such windmilis are often usea
on Norwegian vessels 20 work the
pumps. We may yet see farm wind
mills providing power to run dynamos
and charge storage batteries with eloc-
tricity 70 be used for lighting farm
houses. Is well as 70 do much work
that now takes human muacles.-E
