CITIZENS APPROVE
 PRESIDENTS CHOICE
Pleased With Appointment of Colonel Roac h as Post
 master at Texarkana.

Texarkana, Feb. 1.-The ap- pointment of Col. Lyman s. Roach to be postmaster at this place meets with general approv- al among the patrons of the of flee, regardless of politics, al- though the presidents action in naming him was anticipated by very few.
 Roach forwarded his applica- tion to Washington about six weeks ago. He was without any organized local political backing, but had a strong petition signed by individual business men. He was a Federal soldier throughout the Civil war, and made a fine record in an Ohio regiment. This is believed to have been the potent factor in landing him. There is no doubt that he also profted largely by the factional fight between Bickley and Fore man, candidates on the Arkan- sas side of the town. The office has always been rated as an Ar kansas asset, and Roach is the first citizen ever named as post master.

Elder Edgecomb was for many years
pastor OF the Free Baptist Church in
Vienna, Me, In which town lived a
simple-minded man named Perry
Wood.
One hot Sunday in summer the par
son had occasion to admonish some OF
his hearers for going to sleep during
the service. The next Sunday, while
the minister was in the midst Of his
sermon, he heard something whIz
across the room and strike the wall
He continued his sermon. but kept one
suspicious eye on the congregation
Soon he saw the simple-minded Perry,
who was sitting in the stove room in
the rear of the church, rise, take an
apple from his pocket and bring his
arm back preparatory for a throw at
the head of sleeping deacon.
@Perry Wood" exclaimed the irate
parson, you put that apple up, and II
you ever throw another one in this
church I'll"
you hold right on, elder" broke in
the excited Perry, you tend to your
preaching and I'll keep them awake.

versal joint connection with the wind

gears at their inner ends.
The wind wheels turn in opposite

The same direction A blade or sail

Of the wind wheels forms the vane Of

normally transverse to the direction
Of the wind AS the strength Of the
wind increases, the wind wheels rise
because Of the pressure against this
yane, and the wheels then rotate at an
acute angle to the direction Of the
wind. In this way the force Of the
wind upon the wheels is modified. It
can readily be seen that any increase
In the winds velocity will be compen-
sated for by an increase in the angle
between the axis OF the wind wheels
and the direction of the wind.

It is surprising to see the amount
Of intelligence that can be shown by a
crow, but a tame bird owned by Sher-
brook Howard, OF Bath, Me, exhibits
II to large degree.
Each morning the bird flies to its
masters bedroom window and utters
shrill cries to awaken him, but will
never 90 toward the window again
driring the day. Whenever hungry he
flies to the kitchen and keeps up q
continual squawking until fed. He
refuses to fly away, and SO far as
known has never been more than a
quarter of a mile from his adopted
home.
few nights ago several other
crows from neighboring fields did
their utmost to get him to fly away
with them, but, preferring the house
Of his young master, Mr.. Grow refused
to stir.

We had passed out Of the channel

as night fell one of those sudden ac-

What Was the User

There was once man who said that
he would show his wife how to clean
house; that he could do it in half the
time and with half the trouble she
could. He would do it, he said, for the
sake of avoiding the annual upheaval
and disturbance in their home.
And she dared him to do it.
So he pitched in and took up carpets
and beat them, and mopped floors and
washed windows, and busted pictures
and cleaned 'cupboards-and he fin
ished the work in less than half the
time she took to do it.
But it availed naught.
For she went all over the house
after he had finished, taking up car
pets and taking down pictures and
clearing out cupboards, to see If he
had done the work properly.
Even when reformer accomplishes
anything his accounts have to be aud
tied.

The Australian Patent law

Australia has now federal patent
law, and applications for patents Will
hereafter have to be filed and dealt
with at the central patent office,
Rialto building, Melbourne. The law
is, to great extent, based ON the
British system, with the notable ad-
dition that the official staff, before is
suing patent, must make an exam
ination to ascertain whether the in
vention described has been previous
ly patented or a patent applied for
in any Of the states composing the
federation. Patents will be granted
for fourteen years, and will be sub
ject mainly to the usual conditions
of British and Australian patents,
with the exception that if one claim
is found by court to be invalid 1t
shall not affect the validity of any
other claim or of the patent SO far
as it relates to any valid claim.

there are no rents, rates, or taxes.

NOVEL Type oF WINDMILL.
Tits Upward as Pressure Of the Wind
Increases.

A new tyre Of windmill has been
designed BY Alfred Fernando Of New
York, and 1t is expected to mark a
new era in the work of this kind Of
machine. 1t consists Of two wind
wheels with sails 20 inclined that they
win rotate in opposite directions.
It is claimed for this machine that
It will not increase beyond a certain
power no matter how hard the wind
blows. As the velocity Of the wind
increases the wind wheels are tilted
upwards. thus modifying the pressure
of the wind on the sails.
The shaft Of the inner wheel is hol-
low, and revolvcs on the shaft of the
outer Wheel. The bracket in which
these shafts are mounted has a uni
