ELECTRIC ENERGY FROM WIND
Successful Experiments Recently
Made by Herr COux After Long
and Careful Studies.

From long and careful studies Of
the atmospheric conditions in north
ern Germany, Herr M. G. Couz, Of
Hamburg, has taken up the question
of the industrial application of the
winds which are always abundant in
that region. He has discovered a
system of electric regulators to OBJ
viate the inconvenience of the varia-
tion in the velocity of the wind. To
put his ideas in practice Herr Couz
appealed to F. Neyman, a manufac-
turer of windmills at Wittkiel, who
put large windmill at his disposi-
ton. The wheel had regulator
to keep its speed constant for cer-
tain number of turns when the
minimum velocity Of the wind to keep
it moving at that speed had been ex-
ceeded. This wheel, which in tenn
pest can furnish thirty horsepower,
charges large storage battery for
electric lighting and power at Witt
kiel. Some experiments were made
and the results surpassed all expecta.
ton. These experiments, which were
admirably conducted, make it pos
sible to hope that small localities will
be able to secure electric light and
power from the wind at almost no
cost. The expense of establishing
such an installation is extremely
small in comparison to the immense
advantages which it secures.

THE HOME HOSPITAL.
and Reserved for Nursing
the Sick.

1t has been suggested by latter-day
sanitarians that the plan of all houses
in the future should include one room
especially for use in illness-a hospital
room. 1t is urged that this could be
done without any great additional ex-
penditure of money or loss of space,
because such room could be used as
an ordinary bedroom until the time
came to turn it into sick-room, says
Youths Companion.
Where such room is out of the
question it is not difficult matter to
prepare hygienic room for sick nurs-
ing in the average house or apartment,
If certain necessary conditions are
borne in mind.
In the first place, the best room, in
the sense of best lighted and vent-
lated, shoald be reserved for this pur-
pose. 1t should get direct sunlight
for some part of every day, and there
should be provision for free ingress
and egress of air.
The next consideration is the doing
away with draperies and upholstery.
In case of severe acute illness, fevers
and the like, it is most important that
there should be no dust-catching, stuff
fy materials about; the bed should be
of metal, the necessary articles of
furniture should be washable, as also
the floor, and, if possible, even the
walls.
The new sanitary wallpapers are
good in design; simple painted wall
need not be inartistic, and walls that
will bear washing do not imply bare
desolation. A hardwood floor, or a
common stained one, can easily be
wiped each day with a damp cloth
wrung out of a weak solution Of
bichloride of mercury; plain chairs
and tables and the metal bed can be
treated in the same manner. All rugs
should be carried away, and felt shoes
should be worn il the bare floors cause
noise.
1t is important to remember that
utensils should never be emptied and
cleansed in the sick-room. They
should be taken outside, and before
they are brought back little clean
water, to which has been added some
antiseptic' solution, such as carbolic
acid or chlorides, should be poured into
! them.
Finally, If one is suddenly called TO
take charge of a sick-room, it should
never be forgotten that there is no i'll
ness to which fresh air is a menace;
that the more freely 1t can be admitted
by day and by night, without blowing
directly on the bed, the more chance
the patient has of good recovery.
1t should be remembered also that a
damp cloth, as n cleansing agent, is
worth all the brooms and feather dus-
ters ever invented, and that little
common sense is better than much
paraphernalia.

FOR AUTUMN WEAR.
Plain Dress Fabrics Now in Vogue
Dress Trimmings and

Postillion tabs on the jackets of new
tailor costumes, lined with ivory silk,

of enameled silver. On gown of leaf

While it is undoubtedly true that
silk and satin brocades, Lyons woven
matelasses and other costly and eIe-
giant figured materials are to be among
the dominant modes for elaborate
evening dress, it does not mean that
the old-style, stand-alone qualities are
TO be revived, for this is far from being
the case. The soft, clinging brocades
are of the richest quality and purest
silk, but they are eminently dainty and
feminine, with fascinating grace, a
wondrous luster and an artistic me-
lange of pastel of more pronounced
oriental colors; but there remains
total absence of any sort Of stiff or
wiry effect in any of the latest French
weaves.
Tiny ruches of silk or of the dress
material pinked at the edges are the
fashionable trimming for the newest
models of etamne, nuns yelling and
other light wool or silk and wool

the earth. All of this apparatus was
carried in wagon when not in use.
Packing and unpacking, setting up
and taking down, therefore, required
time and trouble. Marconi has now
found a way to avoid this incon-
venience. In combination with an au-
tomobile designed he has produced a
special self-propelled vehicle in which
his instruments are ready for use at
all times. 1t is travelling telegraph
station. This automobile is driven
by steam, the favorite motive agent
with Englishmen. 1t carries storage
batteries to operate his instruments
and seats for the operators.
The most curious feature of the
vehicle is an enormous funnel which
it carries, and which folds backward
on the roof of the carriage when not
in use. When messages are to be
sent the funnel is raised to ver-
tical position. One of the many i'm.
provements which Marconi has made
in his apparatus is the substitution
of o metal cylinder (or a pair of
them, one inside the other) for the
pole and upright wire, which were at
first employed. The thing which
looks like funnel on his automobile
is a cylinder and forms part of the
telegraphic outft.-N. Y. Tribune.

DESTROYS CITY TREES.
Electricity Is Fatal to All Kinds OF
Plant Life on Park and
boulevard.

A distinguished botanist in speak
ing of plant life in our cities and in
local parks argues that it is under
ever increasing peril constantly and
is liable to finally become extinct.
In the first place, there is the mat
ter of noise in all it's forms and the
vibrating rumblings which so with
the various augmented population.
Flowers need sleep. Trees sleep. All
forms of vegetable life must, at reg
ularly recurring intervals, be al
lowed to lapse into condition of re-
pose else some radical change will
take place in the form of the plant.
But noise is not the only de-
stroyer of plant life in cities. There
are many other things that threaten
to denude the cities of vegetation
finally. Plants and flowers and all
kinds Of vegetation sleep best away
from the glare. So the lights of the
city, which blind all through the
night, must contribute somewhat to
this interference with vegetable
sleep Dust and smoke and other
things that fill the air unquestion-
ably have considerable influence on
vegetation in the cities. Electricity,
independent of it's uses for lighting
purposes, has bad effect on city
vegetation. The overcharged eondi-
tion of the earth because or the elec-
trical currents that are constantly
finding their way back to the point
of generation cannot be healthy from
a viewpoint Of vegetation. The con-
struction of large buildings interfere,
too, with the natural flow of air cur
rents and the plants of a city are in
a measure smothered.
But the same electricity that the
botanist tells us is gradually destroy
ing tree life in the cities is trans
porting the people far out into the
country cheaply and rapidly. There
is compensation, after all, in the
tendencies that make civilization q
failure to pessimistic eyes.

Diplomatic Peanut Boys.

Boys who sell peanuts in the grand
stands at the baseball grounds are
never discouraged if there is moth
ing doing" in their line until after
the fifth inning. Patrons of the game
do not begin to feel "peekish" until
after five o'clock, and then the pea
nut boy works automatically. If he
sells one bag in row of men he does
not pass on to the next aisle, but
waits in the back seats until his first
customer begins to eat peanuts. In a
minute or two men who never had
any thought of buying peanuts beck
on to him to come forward. Usually
his basket is empty before he reaches
the next aisle and he goes back FOR
a fresh supply. One bag of freshly
roasted peanuts in the hands of a
man who eats them as though he en-
joys them is sure to create an appe-
tite for a dozen more bags among his
Observation-Disclosures Times.

THE FATIGUE BACILLUS.
Take Prof. Gautier's Recent
Discovery Seriously.

Science, which has a way of upset.
ting old theories, has come to the re-
lief of the lazy man. Instead of be-
ing personally responsible for his
condition it appears that he is really
the victim of disease, caused by the
fatigue bacillus" specimens of
which have been isolated and exam
ined by Prof. Gautier, member Of
the French Institute of Sciences. Ac-
cording to the professor, the fa-
tigue bacillus can be easily exter-
minated by the use Of disinfectants,
so that we may soon expect to see
fatigue institutes starting up all over
the country to which the constitu-
tionally lazy may be sent for treat
ment. Before the discoverer of the
fatigue microbe can be absolutely
certain that he is on the right track
he should experiment with half
dozen specimens of the great Amer
lean tramp family. If by inoculation
or any other course of treatment he
can provoke in DUSTY Rhodes"
"Weary Walker" and others OF the
same class healthy appetite for
saving wood or hoeing potatoes he
will be hailed with gratitude as
great benefactor of the race. The
new cure for laziness should also
have great sale among wives who
are forced to support their families
by taking in washing while their
abler-bodied husbands writhe under
the awful ravages OF the fatigue ba-
cilus. In fact, there are endless
uses for the remedy. Even men who
suffer from nothing more severe than
occasional attacks of shat tired
feeling" will be glad on occasion to
use the wonderful elixir of the
French professor. A bottle of ii
will be kept in every household. The
children will be given dose of it
before they start for school; the mis-
tress will revive her failing energies
with it If she has been out to ball
the night before; the maids will find
it q sovereign remedy for tired
nerves ard muscles, and every mem-
Der Of the family, will use 1t daily.
Unless the Importance OF Prof.
Gautier's remedy has beeo exag-
gerated he seems to have discovered
the long sought palliative Of the pri-
NAL curse Of man.-Chicago Tribune.

ODD FOxFIRE IN THE SOUTH
One of the Phosphorescent Exhibi.
tions That Impress the SUPER
stitious and Ignorant Classes.

~ was reading in one of the leading
papers of Japan recently story of
what was regarded as very novel find
in certain japanese village" said q
citizen of New Orleans recently to
correspondent of the Chicago Journal,
who has Travelled very extensively in
the orient, "and the paper in question
referred to the newly discovered thing
as incandescent wood.
1T seems that there had been
landslide in the section referred to,
and tree had been hurled down the
hillside, where the villagers could get
at it without trouble, and they pounced
upon it for wood purposes. They left
several feet of the tree sticking up as
stump. When night came they OBJ
served that the stump made curious
blush light, and they became very
much alarmed over the matter, and
after being awed for several nights
by the strange phenomenon they
made desperate charge upon it with
sticks and clubs.

great many white persons in this Sec

phosphorescent effect caused by de-
caying substances. But it is curious
fact that in many places in the south
the negro is as completely ignorant
of the cause of this peculiar kind OF
luminosity as the men and women OF
the japanese village, and 'foxfire,' as
they call it, has never ceased to be an
awe-inspiring sight. They shy around
it when they find it by the roadside, in
the hedges, or shining by the trunk OF
some dismembered tree. In the ne
gro's fancy this bit of phosphorescence
occupies the same position that the
will O. the wisp occupies. 1t is not un'
derstandable to them. 1t simply ex'

they pretend to know.

marshy regions, frequently swaying

phorescences combined. And then
when they begin to increase as the
night goes on like the reappearing
stars which break through the blue

negro will close his cabin door, pull

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
For Army Use the Necessary Appar-
atus Is Installed on a Special
Form of Automobile.

The special value of the system of
telegraphy with which Marconi's
name is so indissolubly connected is
that messages can be sent thereby
to and from moving objects. Hence
the introduction of wireless tele-
graphic instruments on naval vessels
in Great Britain. But there is as
much need for telegraphic commune
cation in the army as in the navy,
probably more. And the utility and
feasibility of the Marconi system
were admirably illustrated in the late
war in South Africa.
Lord Roberts operators probably
set up their instruments on tables on
the ground and erected their neces-
sary upright wires on poles fixed in

to be found which is more care-
fully constructed than one Of these
beetles nests.
The so-called birch tree beetles ex-
eel at work of this kind. Beetles
which infest vineyards also roll leaves
in like manner, but, owing to the size
and shape of the leaves of the vine,
rarely succeed in doing very artistic
work. Moreover, they do not join
the leaves together by means of a
sort Of glue, as is the custom of the
birch tree beetles, but use instead
cotton fiber which they gather from
the buds on the vines.
Other beetles closely akin to these
do not roll leaves in this manner,
and, on the other hand, there are
beetles of quite different families
which frequently make such nests.
An example of the former kind is
the sloe tree beetle, which lays its
eggs on the fruit of this tree, and an
example of the latter kind is the
nut tree beetle, which also rolls
leaves into the shape of cigar, but
not in quite the same manner as the
birch tree beetle.
The reason why it works different
is because it is differently construct
ed. A very curious insect it is, with
a red body, very long neck and a
head which is so small that it is al
most invisible. Under these condi-
tions it is naturally difficult for it
to grasp a leaf and roll it into a
circular form, as the birch tree beetle
does. Still, it does the work after
its own fashion, and though hardly
as faultless a structure as the birch
tree beetles very neat piece Of
work it is.-N. Y. Herald.
