LARGEST MILL IN WORLD.
Big Device Located Near San Fran
cisco-Pumps 200, 900 Gallons
Of Water Every "a Hours.

The largest windmill in the
United States, if, indeed, not the
largest in the whole world, has re
Gently been constructed near San
francisco, says the American In
ventor. This gigantic mill is To-
Gated directly on the ocean beach,
near the famous Seal Rocks. 1t
is used for pumping water up into
Golden Gate park.
The huge, strong wooden tower
supporting the wind arms rises
$50 feet. 1t is 40 feet square at
the base, very securely anchored
and gradually tapers upward, as
suming round shape. There are
four immense wooden arms or
vanes. Each arm measures so feet
from the center or hub-thus max
ing a diameter of 160 feet in the
describing circle. The wind yanes
are six feet wide and extend near
ly the entire length of the huge
arm, thus affording the greatest
possible amount of wing space for
catching the air.
The windmill is located upon a
prominent elevation, so that it
may catch every available wind
arising in that section.
This colossal windmill is capa-
BILE of developing about 50-horse-
power-its maximum capacity.
Its pumping capacity is 100000
gallons of water every "a hours.
The water is taken from the wells
and forced through a large iron
main, 16 inches in diameter, for
nearly four miles up into an I'M
mense reservoir several hundred
feet higher than the ocean beach.
From this reservoir the water is
distributed in all directions
through the park.
During the dry, hot season the
arms of this giant windmill are
kept whirling day and night to
supply the thirsty demand. AS
the mill stands on the wide, open
beach, there is rarely, if ever, any
lack of wind; in fact, the wind oc-
casionally blows with such vio-
| lence that the mill is compelled to
be shut down, as it would be risky
to attempt to run it during a
fierce gale.

Of various sizes, shapes and kinds

) the fact that they find there an
ilnal as we'll as vegetable food.
This is certainly true of the scor-
pions. which feed on mites, book
lice and other small insects.
The book lice, cockroaches, "sil-
yer fish" and fish moth" can have
no reason for infesting books, ex-
cept their liking for farinaceous
substances such as are used in and
about the labels and bindings of
books. The damage done by them
is largely confined to the exterior
or interior of the bindings them
selves.
The "white ants" feed princi-
pally on wood, and in and about
looks there is more or less wood
fiber, which is to the liking of
these voracious feeders.
/ The moths and beetles are the
borers and burrowers. They seek
retired places to lay their eggs,
where the larvae will have plenty Y
1uf food at hand when hatched.
They will sometimes tunnel from
one cover to the other.

SAVAGE COUNTRIES ALLIED
1umor That Aztecs and Africans
Were Joined by Treaty Given 8.
Rise by Discovery. /

Were the men who built the
prehistoric structures at Zimbab-
we in Africa of the same race as
the Aztecs and other native races
that have left pyramids and mon.
uments of various kinds through
out Central and South America :?
This speculation takes it's rise
from the uncovering at Umtali in
Africa of an s'arrastre" stone. An
arrastre is rude apparatus used
in Mexico and in some parts of the
United States for grinding, and,
at the same time, amalgamating
ores containing free gold and sill.
yer. 1t consists of a vertical axis
with horizontal arms attached.
TO these arms huge masses of rock
are fastened by chains and
dragged over the ore, which is
placed on a bed of stones within
a circular inclosure usually about
II feet in diameter. The arrastre
stone at Umtali was discovered
by mining engineers in the region
of the prehistoric gold mines. 1t
is believed that the people who
built the old temples and courts
at Zimbabwe must have been the
same as those who ground and
amalgamated the metallic ores
with those crude implements.
"a marvellous field of specu.
lative archaeology is opened up"
says writer. ''It has been dem
onstrated by Herodotus that the
phoenicians, who went very near
ly everywhere, paid a visit to
South Africa in the year 600 B. c.,
The ancient ruins of Rhodesia
have been ascribed by more than
one authority to these hardy. en-
terprising people of the old world.
1t has been contended, also, that
the natives of South Africa, other
than those of Spanish stock, de-
rived their origin from a Phoeni-
clan immigration. The word
EPhoenician,' in Greek, means "a
red man. The builders of Tyre
were a mixed race, Semitic and
Monaghan. Does not the Amer
lean red man possess facial char
acteristies peculiar to those two
nations?
"a well-known mining engi-
neer says: 4 have been much
struck with the great similarity
between these ancient ruins and
those of the Aztec Indians in
Colorado and New Mexico 1t
would be strange coincidence if,
with the aid of the arrastre stone.
a relationship were traced be,
! tween the early gold diggers in
South Africa and those pre- Co.
