POWER FROM THE CLOUDS.
4 Static Motor That Runs BY
Lightning.

Under this title a static motor is
illustrated and described by G.. Francis
Jenkins in the Scientific American.
Interest in motors OF this kind arises
from the fact that atmospheric cleo
tricity is Of the static type. and there
fore that II We are ever to utilize the
atmosphere as a source of electric
power We must employ some such
means as this, the ordinary style of
motor being quite untitled for the puT-
pose. The ordinary motor is a re.
yersed dynamo, and in like manner
this motor is a reversed glass-disk cleo
trio machine. II may be regarded. Mr..
jenkins says, as an extension Of the
familiar experiment in which a pith
ball oscillates between two oppositely
charged bodies. such as a glass rod
and stick of sealing-wax He says:
In its simplest form it'll consists Of
a thin glass or mica disk supported on
pivotal points and we'll balanced. This
disk has five armature sections of tin
foil overlapping the edges of the disk
at five equidistant points. EnyelopiRg

pole diametrically opposite. Each pole
has a thin brush mounted thereon,
which contacts with the armature sec
tions as they pass Hereunder. AS
there are five armature sections and
but four field-poies, some one of these
brushes is always in contact with an
armature section. If, now, one pair of
opposite field-poles be positively
charged and the other pair be mega
lively charged, some one of the arma-
ture sections receives a charge OF like
sign with the field-pole enyeloping it.
The armature section is, therefore, i'm
mediately repealed, and moves away
from the field-pole and toward the next
field-pole, to which 1t is attracted for
like reason. AS it passes under the
brush of the latter field-pole the
charge is given up for one of unlike
sign, and the armature section is in
turn repelled by this field-pole. SINH
lar phenomena are taking place at
each Of the other field-poles, and con-
tinuous rotation at high velocity is
maintained"
A series of armature plates forming
a battery are mounted on single
shaft, and all the like armature Sec
tions in a row (parallel TO the shaft
are connected, thus securing a larger
capacity in each of the five armature
sections. The field-poles are likewise
connected together, and the brushes
are arranged to contact with the arma-
ture sections Cnly just after each had
passed the median line of each field
pole. Therefore the motor always turns
in the same direction. Says the au-
thorl

was found that on connecting the mo-

one tield-pole was in metallic com

other with the aerial, the motor would
run, beginning some little time before
the rain began to fall. 1t was also no.

tiles OF the opposed surfaces, ii would
seem that motor of considerable
power might be constructed To run by

clouds, and this is suggested as a hne

KENOSHA TWELFTH
The Government Census Report
Shows Kenosha Had I7,06l
People June lst, 1905
GROWTH LARGEST IN STATE

The bureau of the United States
Census has completed its reports on
the estimate Of the population of cit
les In the United States over 5000 on
June 1st, 1906, and this report shows
that the government officials at that
time estimated the population of Ke-
nosha at 1901 people. This estimate
is based on the State census, taken in
1905, and on such other investigations
as the government officials made after
tnat time. The records place Keno
sha as the twelfth city in the State,
while at the time of the last census
taken by the bureau Kenosha was in
eighteenth place. All of the cities in
Wisconsin with the exception of
Stevens Point and Marinette show an
increase in population during the
seven years since the census was
taken, and the city of Kenosha has
the honor of showing the largest pro-
portionate increase in population.
The increase IN Kenosha has been
more than 20 per cent in seven years,
or at rate of more than Z per cent
year 1t seems certain that the
present population of the city is in
the neighborhood of 10000 people, as
since this census was computed year
has passed, and at the rate of growth
shown by the estimate the city would
have passed the 10000 mark. James
vile, Beloit and Manitowoc, which
cities we're formerly considered rivals
of Kenosha, are now far below this
city, none of them having a popula-
tion of more than $4,000.
The estimated population of the
Wisconsin cities is as follows: Mil
waukee, 3l7,903; Superior, 81, 643; Ra.
cine, 32,928; Oshkosh, 3l.O33; La

GOES TO MUsKEGON
Last Chapter In the History Of
Citizens Telephone Co. Writ.
ten This Afternoon
MODEL PLANT is DlSMANTLED

The last chapter of the story of
telephone competition in Kenosha was
written this afternoon, when all Of
the machinery of the exchange for
merly owned by the Citizens Tele-
phone and Telegraph Co. was shipped
to Muskegon, Mich, where it will be
used for fitting up a little rural ex-
change. The Offices that have been
occupied by the company for more
than three years have been given up,
and all that remains in Kenosha of
the once model exchange is few tele-
phone instruments that are now being
used by the Kenosha Home Telephone
Co. The old stockholders of the Citi-
zens' Telephone Co. will receive Moth
ing from the sale Of the exchange, as
it long ago was transferred to the
Kenosha Home Telephone Co., and
since that time it had remained
untouched awaiting purchaser. AT
the time the machinery for the ex-
change was built it was regarded as
the finest set of machinery ever
placed in a telephone exchange, but
SO fast has been the progress of this
line of work during the past few years
that it was already out of date.
Little will ever be known of the
losses sustained by the men who
opened the Citizens Exchange in com.
petition with the Wisconsin Tele-
phone Co. The company was in OPP
Grafton for yearly two years, and it is
claimed that in all this time the bust
ness was run at a loss. When the
sale was made to the Kenosha Home
Telephone Co. the stockholders re-
ceived little for their holdings. The
shipping of the property owned by
the company will probably be the last
heard of it in Kenosha. The men who
promoted the company have pocketed
their losses and gone to other cities,
and the only reminder of the com pany
left is suit for damages in the Cir
cult Court which will probably be dis
posed of at this term.of the court.

Real Estate Owners Decide That
Conditions Are Not Suitable
For Building
WORK MAY co BEGGING
Few of the Big Buildings Contemplated
For the City Will be Erected This
Year on Account of Exceed
ing1y High Prices

The building trades of Kenosha will
undoubtedly have slump during the
coming season and it is evident that
the rising prices Of building material
of all kinds and the increase in the
cost of labor will put decided check
on the erection Of big buildings in
the city and the building will mostly
consist of small residences and bust
ness buildings that are absolutely
needed. One contractor in speaking
Of the matter last night said that
buildings to the value of $160,O0O, on
which he had been figuring, had been
abandoned. The Elks were the first
10 give up the plan ofsbuilding under
the present conditions and their lead
has been followed by many others.
It is stated on good authority that
the Fortune Brothers Brewing com
pany, which planned the erection of
a $4,000 hotel on Park street, has in
definitely postponed the project. The
Brand Brewing company has taken
similar action ia regard to the build
ing which was to have been put up on
Main street. The Bell Clothing com
pany will not build at the corner of
Main and Market streets and Mrs. e..
Grosvenor will lay over her project
for large building at the corner of
Main and Wisconsin streets for a
year at least. The big hotel which
Cardinal de Riche1ieu was to have
built near the hosiery works or
Prairie avenue, is another building
that is to be held up by the high prices
of labor and material. Many flats
that were planned for immediate con-
struction will not go up at this time.
The carpenters and brick layers
seem to be of the opinion that this
slump will be Of only short duration,
and that the people of the city will
not allow the increase III prices to
prevent the advance of the city. 1t
is limited that there will be an,increase
IN the wages demanded byS several
classes of builders on the first of
April and this may have the effect of
laying over some buildings that have
been actually started.
The year 1906 was the biggest year
for building inthe history of Kenosha,
and there is no reason to believe that
the amount of building done this
year will in any way approach the
record for the former year.
It is feared that this S1T1r11 n n hui1d-
ing will result in many men being
idle in Kenosha during the summer
months, but the contractors state that
it is impossible for them to provide
any remedy, as at the present rate of
materials and labor they are practic-
ally powerless in figuring on build
ings. It is generally believed that
the conditions will be much better
within year or two, and at that time
the buildings laid over this year will
go forward to completion.
