new HOT AIR PUMP
Wilmington Machine Company Granted
Patent ON Monday

The Wilmington Machine Company
has just received papers patent upon a
new hot air water pump The pump
occupies very small space
and is run by hot air
furnished from a miniature stove.
Many new hot air engines have been
put on the market recently, to take the
place of the windmill. but the greater
number Of them entailed too great n
cost to operate.
The engine does away with the end
less chain and in its place is a transfer
heam. which is operated by a large
fly wheel. This improvement does
away with all friction.
The motive power can be changed
from coal TO gas, gasoline, or wood, by
altering the fire box.
The company has been working on
the pump for over a year, but has
only had a working model completed
The pump has capacity Of from 200
to 800 gallons per hour. according to
the grade the water has to travel.

iiHue Tomorrow

Again this city is threatened with a
food. for with this morning came a
storm of rain which transformed the
city streets into rivuets, caused the
water Of the creeks to rise above the
the usual level. and made conditions
exceedingly unpleasant for those per-
sons who were Obliged TO be out. Oc-
casional peals of thunder and flashes
of lightning made the storm a some
what unusual one for the month of
February.
Already there are echoes of damage
by the high water. Rivermen expect
food along the banks of the Christiana
and Brandywine rivers.
Al ~ o'clock the tide in the Chris
tiana should have been ebbing fast, but
the high east wind kept IL backed in
the river at least two feet higher than
It. should have been at that hour.
The flood tide will start about
o'clock. and with the force of wind be-
hind il. will rush into the river at
rapid rate.
A river man said that he expected to
see in short time. all of the low lands
in the vicinity OF the river flooded to
IA depth of several feet.
The wind which accompanied the
storm has twisted wires from their
fastenings and torn from trees those
limbs that were cracked by the ele-
ments last week
Unless all indications fail, the pres
ent storm will continue tomorrow.
Storm warnings were displayed along

Prince Places WreathS on
Grave Of First President
ALSO PLANTS LINDEN TREE
Royal Guest Approaches Grave Of
Washington With Barred Head.
Silence Adds to SOlemnity

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Prince Henry
Of Prussia journeyed to Mount Yer
non yesterday afternoon and placed
two wreaths in the tomb of Washing
ton. He approached the grave of the
first president with barred head, and
that there might be nothing irreverent
in the ceremony asked the holders of
a dozen cameras who stood around to
refrain from photographing him. The
royal visitor and his party were taken
TO Mount Vernon by special train
over the Washington, Arlington and
Mount Vernon Electric railway Prince
Henry walked TO the Washington
home and was driven from there down
over the slope OF the hill to the tomb.
When the iron gate of the tomb was
opened he removed his cap and en-
tered. Two large wreaths, made at
Washington by his order already had
been sent to the tomb, and taking
them up he formally set them in
place. A group of over 100 men that
stood in the approach to the grave I'M
covered, and that, with their silence,
added to the spirit of solemnity. Fifty
feet down the sward that falls away
from the tomb Prince Henry planted
a linden tree. The tree had been set
in place prior to his arrival, and tax
ing a spade the prince filed the earth
in around its roots. The prince was
taken to the old Washington house,
where he spent a few minutes in look
ing at the Washington relics, and then
departed for Washington.
Many of the people of Alexandria
mistook Lieutenant Commander
Schmidt Won Schwind for the prince,
and their error led to an amusing in
cident. There is some general re-
semblance between the two, and when
the crowd singled out the young naval
officer and cheered him, the prince
was delighted He called Chief VIII
kie. of the secret service, and laugh
ingly gave him this order: "Mr. Will
kie, please tell Mr.. Schmidt Won
Schwind to be very careful what he
does now, for he must remember that
