JAMESTOWN CELEBRATION.
Oldest Exposition of the Country a Jamestown Island in 1S07-A
 Five Days Celebration

Jamestown Island in 1S07-A
 Five Days Celebration.
 One of the most interesting histori- cal parallels that student of the sub- ject can find in connection with the Jamestown Ter-Centennial exposition to be held on the shores of Hampton Roads, near Norfolk, in 1907 is the fact that a hunderd years ago on Jamestown Island, there was held a celebration similar in sentiment to that of the coming exposition, inas- much as 1t commemorated the same historical event, that of the founding of the first permanent English speaking colony in America, and yet was of such primitive nature that the rec ords of the event are both interesting and unique, and not without touch of humor.
 The most salient remaining recog- milton of the celebration of hun dred years ago is found in Bishop Mead's book on "Old Families and Churches of Virginia" and is under the following head; Extracts from a pamphlet Reporting the Proceedings of a Jubilee at Jamestown in Com memoration of the second Centenary Anniversary of the settlement of Vir- ginia, May IS, 1S07'
 The functions In connection with the jubilee lasted for five days and were characterized principally by re- ligious ceremonies The first day of the jubilee, the tenth of May was marked by the arrival at Jamestown of a packet, a sloop and schooner, the latter having on board a band and company of artillery, with cannon and Q number of visitors On the eleventh, people began to arrive ir numbers and the beach took on the ap- pearance of a reguler encampment and the groups of beautiful women con- stituted a pleasant addition to the scene. Visits were made to the old ruined chuch and the graveyard which he'd been practically destroyed the inscriptions on the old grave stones in almost every instance being almost illegible. One old tomb in particular was mentioned in the ex- tract as having been caught in the years before and raised several inches bodily out of the ground. This fact is very interesting to visitors to the island because the same tree, now old and gnarled can still be seen with the tomb embedded in its trunk at least three feet from the surface of the ground
 The tomb was that of Mrs. Com missary Blair who with her husband had been placed side by side in the old graveyard nearly hundred years before The sycamore-shoot spring ing up between the two graves com pletely ruined the tomb of Commits sary Blair, breaking it to pieces and scattering the remains in every direc tion.

GIFTS POWER. FROM AIR.

South Dakota cities are supplied wkith electric light, the electricity for which is generated by the power of ar tesian wells; farm machinery is run by motors and turbine wheels between the Missouri and James rivers, but 1t has also been left to a South Dakota far mer to discover that enough electricity may be taken from the air above the butes to furnish the power which will run electric lights thrashing machines and water pumps.
 Such discovery is one of the mar vels of the electrical world and a dream of inventors for decades, but John H. Stranhan, son of a well-to-do farmer near Miller, S. D., has made the discovery, and from Sully Buttes may be seen a number of tandem box kites, while half way to the earth, on a No. copper wire, hangs a strange white box the size of a bee hive
 From the copper wires which descend from this box enough electrical energy is secured to run the motors with which the Stranhan home is lighted a feed-grinder and thrashing machine operated and big electrical pump which pours water into the irrigating ditches.
 Young Stranhan is graduate of an eastern polyteohnical school, where he went to complete his studies after be- ing graduated from the University of Nebraska, In Lincoln. Since leaving the school he has devoted much of his time in studying the Hertzian waves, the electrical waves which make the wireless telegraph possible. He has experimented under the belief that it was possible to collect the electricity in the air and use 1t for commercial purposes.
 He. now declares he has perfected a device which gives him the first cur rent from the air about Sully Buttes, and by a series of inductions the power is increased until it runs all the ma chinery on the Stranhan farm
 Stranhan says that his scheme was successful from the start so far as the production of an electrical current was concerned, but that the difficulty was in procuring a current of superior po- tentiality to be of utility in farm work

tomb, on which the inscriptions were made, was of thick dark iron stone or black marble. It is so old and deep ly embedded in the trunk of the syca- more that the inscription Is only par italy legible. ~
 On the morning of the 18th, the &C., tual day of the landing of the first settlers, the festivities began in earn est. At daybreak the thirty-two vessels that had assembled Tn the har- Dor gave a grand salute which was followed by the playing of bands. At Ii o'clock. says the historian, the long deserted shores of Jamestown witness ed a spectacle both picturesque and impressive. The presence or captain Nestle and his company or artillery from Norfolk. and upwards of four hundred ladies, reflected no small lus- tre to the scene.
 At twelve o'clock, in accordance with the programme previously agreed upon by the joint committee on arrange ments, from Norfolk, Portsmouth, Pet ersburg and Williamsburg, a process sion marched to the old ruined shureh tower The order of the procession be- ing as follows:
 1. Bishop Madison and the orators of the day.
 ?. The deputies from Norfolk, Ports mouth, Petersburg and Williamsburg
 S.-The ladies.
 4. Bands of music.
 ,. Artillery
 6. A cannon ball weighing 5 cwt supported by eight men.
 [. Citizens at large.
 During the procession several tunes were struck up and cannons were fir cd at proper intervals. Upon reach ing the church, the venerable bishop of Virginia made lenghtly prayer af. ter which the citizens repaired to tht lawn of the principal residence on tht peninsula, for the purpose Of hearing the orations of the day MT, B. C. Baldwin of Winchester, then a student at William and Mary College and later Judge Baldwin of Staunton, was tht first speaker He was followed by MT John Madison, also a student at thu university. The orations were credita ble to the patriotism and talents o1 these young men. The exercises were concluded with the reading of an od' by MT. c, F Blanchard of Norfolk Two days and nights were spent ii these and similar ceremonies, when thu jubilee was at a close and the benin sular was again deserted,
 So ended the first celebration in com memoration of the founding of tn, English colony at Jamestown, ant next year on the shores of Hampton Roads, when the grand military ant naval educational and industrial ex position is in full swing, 1t will be in teresting to go back a hundred year and imagine those old aristocrati families celebrating the same event il their quiet, dignified and primitive way that the millions form country anC foreign lands will be commemoratint by the greatest of all expositins.
