Is one ol the newest Of these that we
show in the drawing. The idea is
practically the same as that utilized In
the old-fashioned oyershot water
wheels formerly used 20 furnish power
for grist mills, only IN this case the
current Of air Is made TO drive the
wheel instead Of water. The whole
mechanism IS mounted on revolving
platform. with the ware at the rear to
keep its head 10 the wind, and the cur
rent Of air ie gather IN by the spread
ing wings. which are piyoted in front
Of the Aat-bladed wheels. Thus the
wind impinges with considerable force
on the blades, causing the wheels 10 re-
yolye and reciprocating the vertical
pump shaft connected TO the crank be-
tween the two wheels. To prevent the
rotation Of the wheels ii is only neces-
sary to elevate the lower wing until the
passage leading to the blades is closed.
The inventor OF This simple windmill is

THE TOMATOES HISTORY.
From Peru II spread 10 spain and
England and Finally to North
America.

The tomato is native of South
America and more particularly Of
Peru and the Andean region. The In
dian name for II Is "tumail" and the
Spanish name tomato" When the
Spaniards arrived In the sixteenth
century they considered nothing of
much Importance except silver. But
in 1853 they took some tomatoes home
with them as matter of curiosity,
little dreaming that there would some
day be more silver III them than there
was in all the Peruvian mines. There
is general impression that until 60
or 10 years ago the tomato plant was
universally regarded as poisonous
weed aud that It's handsome fruit was
called the love apple" and never
cultivated except as something pleas
ant to look upon. But this story is
inconsistent with itself. The tomato
was called the love apple for the rea-
son that II was believed to be an
aphrodisiac, or excitant Of amorous
feelings. But it could not even be sus-
pected Of such property unless it
bad been babitually eaten. The truth
Is that there is no record Of time
when in South America the tomato
was not an article Of food, There is,
indeed, no record of time when 1t
grew wild When the Spaniards
reached Peru they found nothing but
the cultivated tomato. which was cul-
tivaied for food. They took fancy
to 1t and took il to Spain, from which
place II found its way in 1896 to Eng
land, From that country 1t spread
over the whole ofsouthern Europe and
North Americn.

FOREST PARK.

The vaudeville bill at Forest Park this week is one of the best that has been offered to any park on the circuit In fact 1t is better than has been seen in may of the leading vaudeville houses and each number is star. The man agement has spent considerable mon- ey to get the present company here and there is no doubt but that the ap- preciation will be all the greater. A glance over the bill is enough to con vince you. The Musical Harts, The LaRues, Marion Sawrelle, w. l.. Davis and Barr and Evans make up a pro- gram that cannot be beaten. They give two performances, one in the after noon and one in the evening, and on July Fourth there will be three shows. This will be a beautiful place to spend the spare moments and the small price of admission will not be missed.

STANLEY PARK THE PLACE.


 It Is the Popular Site for the New
 Postoffice Building.
 To the Editor of the Democrat:
 I think the time has come when there should be some appreciation shown for the magnificent gift which has been given to the people of Wa terbury by Mrs David B. Hamilton. At present there is absolutely no place where the great masses of the people can go for an outing to spend pleas ant afternoon to commune with na- ture, and give the people 8 chance to breathe the fresh air. We know that the taxpayers cannot afford to appro- priate the money necessary to place this park in condition for such pur- poses, but there is an easy way out of it. The little spot of green, begin ming at School and Brown streets, containing 5000 square feet, is of no practical use whatever to the people, therefore let our city authorities sell this land, which is about large enough for the new public building, for price, say, $20000; this would put Hamilton park in shape so that the people of this generation could enjoy it's beauti- full natural scenery, which is now ly- ing dormant and sadly neglected. This beautiful little eminence, known as Stanley plot, has long been coveted by the great majority. of our citizens as the future place for some monument or magnificent building that would be 9 credit to our city, and we think now the time is opportune to place the postof1ce there. Many years ago ii was the choice of a large body of oul citizens for the soldiers monument which was finally placed opposite S1 Johns church, where the low ground makes it appear to very poor advan. tage, and in no way does justice to the l beautiful monument. The west side of Bank street has the new court house, the city hall and other build ings, and to think of placing the new postoffice also in that section shows an unpardonable selfishness on the par of some of our citizens who favor tha location. We think that the people of the Abrigador, the great north end and all those on the east side of Banl street deserve recognition, and they will be heard from if their claims con l tinue to be ignored. I have beer asked by many of our most inftuentia citizens in this section of the city t, voice their sentiments. and I therefor, ask this space in your valuable paper

ASSOcldIeQ IISS5. 1.
 Washington, July 2.-The census bu- reau has issued its report on printing and publishing in the United States Tor the census year 1900, showing capital of $292, 2,517,072 invested in the 22,3I2 establishments reporting for the indus try. This sum represents only the live capital utilized and the value of the land, buildings, tools, machinery ana implements The value of the products of the industry is returned at $347 055, : O5O. to produce which involved an out. lay of S36,O90,i19 for salaries of offi- cials. clerks. etc, $S4 ,249, SS9 for wages.

 A feauture of the report is an ex- tended account of the operations of the Associated Press, showing the great de- velopment of news gathering methods during the past two decades. The an- nual revenues derived from assess ments levied on the newspapers served exceed $1,900,000, and the number of words daily received and transmitted at each of the more important offices is now over 50,O0O, or the equivalent of thirty-fve columns of an average news paper.

REDUCTION IN TAXES.
Revenue Taken Off Reduces Income in
 This District About $1, 100000.


 Beginning with yesterday the Unit ed States government relinquished about $73,O0O,OOO a year income in the repeal of the war revenue taxes. This is the most gigantic reduction of tax es ever made by the government. Not withstanding this enormous reduction the amount that will still be raised by taxation will be from $175,000,000 to S2OO,OO0,000 a year. In the Connec- ticut and Rhode Island district it is estimated that the reduction made by the repeating of the taxes yesterday amounts to $1,000,0OO, and there must be added to this in the way of reduc- ton of the annual income from intern al revenue taxes the sum of $600,000, which was taken offfin March last. This about cuts tho revenue of the dis trict in two.
