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1t from being superseded by other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
far greater extent than ever, especi-
ally for electric lighting.
With this object i'm view, an in
vestigation OF the average state Of
the wind has been made in England.
IL 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 / 5
miles. In the winter the averages
are higher. The great difficulty
arises from the calm periods, which
may last three days or even week:
but it hes 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.

Paid For The Right To Hiss.

Brander Matthews, who holds the
chair Of dramatic literature at Co
lumbia University, is a recognized
'first-nighter. IT would be a dan
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, a young ac-
quaintance came to broadway with
tragedy. OF courses Mr.. Matthews
was pleased to attend the first per-
formance, and was anxious TO see the
b st in his friends effort The next
morning he was asked how 1t took.

Doc That bikes no SWING.


In the front yard OF a home on
East Ninth Street a rope bangles
from branch of a tree.
Wonder what that ropes for?"
asked one man of his companion as
the two were passing the house this
morning.
Go IN and ask, il you're curious"
the other advised.
A young woman came to the door,
I'VE, that isl was sort of cur
ious about what that rope on the tree
is for" the inquisitive one STAN
mered.
Why. that's Johhny's swing" the
young woman answered.
Out the door dashed Johnny-a
for terrier. A leap and he fastened
his teeth in the rope and, growing
and Jerking, signified that he was
ready to swing. The young woman
pushed him back and forth until he
reached the topmost branches of the
tree
Johnny would stay there Hanging
on that rope all day if we would
let him." she said. That's why the
rope is kept tied up out of his
reach"
Johnny is the properly of Charles

-cMtxcsiOn OF Rubber.

The cultivation - as6iDeF trees is
on the increase. and rubber may at
no distant time become entirely a
plantation product. 1t is said that
there are in Ceyion over 100, 900 acres
which have been planted in rubber,
and In the Malay Peninsula about
half as much more. 1t is estimated
that Mexico has about 100000 acres
planted in rubber. making in all
about 275,000 acres, which should
produce before long about one-quar-
ter OF the worlds probable consump-
ton. The results from these plan
tations seem TO have been Sc sue
cessful that the work might be en-
larged, as this would not only rem
der US less dependent upon the nat
urai forests, but would stimulate the
Brazilian rubber-producing states to
begin artificial cultivation there.

A Good Bread BOX.

Occasionally the housewife finds that
she has no convenient place to set the
ordinary tin bread box, and some
other receptacle must be prepared
for 1.-The STAFF OF life" If you have
a drawer large enough to hold the
bread, this will answer very well, by
having it lined with tin by the tin
smith. Half Of the top of the lining
should be on hinges so that, when
the drawer is pulled out half way,
the cover can be lifted up to put the
bread in or take It out The bread
keeps fresh, and no dust or mice can
possible get at it, and when the box
is closed and pushed back it is en-
tirely out of the way.
Another drawer would also serve
we'll for the cakes.

Chicago Especially Judge Kene-
saw NJ. Lands, in the United States
District Court, fined the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana $29,24O, 900 for
violations OF the law against accept
ing rebates from railroads. The fine
is the largest ever assessed against
any individual or any corporation in
the history of American criminal jur-
tsprudence, and is slightly more than
131 times as great as the amount
received by the company through its
rebating operations The case will
be carried to the higher courts by the
defendant company.
The penalty imposed upon the
company is the maximum permitted
under the law, and it was announced
at the end Of long opinion, in which
the methods and practices of the
Standard on Company were merci-
lessly scored. The Judge, in fact,
declared in his opinion that the Of
hcials of the Standard Oil Company
who were responsible for the prac-
tees of which the corporation was
found guilty were no better than
counterfeiters and thieves, his ex-
act language being:
Worse Than Criminals,
I'VE may as we'll look at this sit
uation squarely. The men who thus
deliberately violate this law wound
society more deely than does he who
counterfeits the coin or steals letters
from the mail"
The court held that the railroads
have no more right to make a secret
rate for a shipper than a board of
assessorS-w2sgd IA va make .a-se-,
'rret assessment of any particular
piece OF property.
The court expressed regret that
the law failed to provide more seri-
Gus punishment than a fine, but in
sisted that the penalty would be
sufficiently large to act as a deter
rent, and not of such a size as to
encourage the defender to persist in
lawlessness.
AT the conclusion of his opinion,
and after announcing the amount of
the fine, Judge Lands directed that
a special grand jury be called for
the purpose of inQuiring into the
acts of the Chicago and Alton Rail-
road Company. it having been prov
ed in the case just closed that the
oil company accepted rebates from
that corporation. This jury is sum
moned for August IA.
