MAZDA will prate fluently by the

Electric Power From Wind.

From very early times the wind
has been used by man as a source
of mechanical power, and so far is
1t from being superseded by other
forces that projects have recently
been put forward to utilize it to a
far greater extent than ever, especi-
ally for electric lighting.
With this object in view. an in
vestigation of the average state of
the wind has been made in England.
1t has been found that for approx
mately half the time the mean wind
velocity is 10 miles an hour, and
for about one-third of the time Is
miles. In the winter the averages
are higher. The great difficulty
arises from the calm periods, which
may last three days or even a week;
but 1t has been shown that economi-
cal lighting plants can be based upon
wind power by providing gasoline
motors to take up the work when
ever the wind fails.

Dogs as Guests.

London society has adopted one of
the New York Four Hundreds fads
that of taking ones pet dogs out
to dine. Invitations to dinner among
the smart set" now include the
woman guests toy Pom or gryphon,
and some women carry the "love me,
love my dog" principle so far as to
refuse invitations to houses where
the honor" of her pets presence is
not requested.
The tiny toy-dogs lie in their mis-
tresses laps during dinner, and are
fed with tidbits from every course in
the menu. The bigger dogs, mean
while, are allowed to disport them
selves under the dining table.
The intrusion of dogs in the dining
room is a source of much embarrass-
ment to the butler and footmen:
while everybody who is not a devoted
dog-worshiper scrupulously avoids
houses where the four-footed guests
are allowed at table.

Paid For The Right To Hiss.

Brander Matthews, who holds the
chair of dramatic literature at Co
lumbia University, is a recognized
"first-nighter." 1t would be a dar-
ing young playwright who would
break the tradition of sending seats
to the shrewd but kindly critic of
Morningside. Some years ago, when
Professor Matthews was dramatic
writer for the Nation, young ac-
quaintance came to Broadway with
a tragedy. OF course, Mr.. Matthews
was. pleased to attend the first per-
formance, and was anxious to see the
best in his friends effort. The next
morning he was asked how it took.
WELL" he said. "after the first
act | applauded and the audience sat
silent, and after the second act l sat
silent and the audience hissed."
And after the third act l went
out and bought ticket and came in
and hissed, too"

Children Barred.

Among the surprising things which
a mother discovered during a visit to
New York was that of all the hotels
in the city the only one in which chill
dren are not allowed is the one con-
Quoted exclusively for women. This
mother also discovered that at a
restaurant which caters only to
women signs are conspicuously post
ed informing customers that children
are not allowed in the room. Well,
why should this not be so? If women
run so far against nature as to flock
by themselves, why should one ex-
pect them to desire the presence of
children with them?-Youth's Com

Women and Lighthouses.

The only two lighthouse-keeper
whose names are known to millions
have been women.
Grace Darling has been dead sixty
five years, but her aid in rescuing
nine survivors of the wrecked steam
ship Forfarshire still makes her
name household word. Ida Lewis,
whose record of skill and daring as a
life-saver surpasses that of the Eng
lish heroine, kept recently at Lime
Rock. near Newport, the fiftieth ami
versary of her coming to the light.
She has saved eighteen lives. How
many she has indirectly saved by
keeping her light burning no one
knows.
Women are well adapted for light
house life. Only few are officially
keepers, like Mrs. Walker of the Rob
bins Reef light in New York Harhor,
but many stay in lighthouses with
their husbands or fathers. The life
is not usually more lonely than that
of many farmers wives. Patience In
a daily round of duties is characters
tic of women. So too are the home
touch and the faculty of doing fancy
work or other trivial means of killing
Time. Men who serve long on light
houses take up wood-carving, or col

hobby to serve as knitting work to
relieve the mind. They become wom-
anishly fussy about their simple
housekeeping.
