POWER FROM THE WIND.
Sails Used insGerma4y to Generat.
ElectricN4y.

Sails Used iRsGerm&Ay to Generate
Electricity.
The utilization of wind power for the
generation of electricity continues to re-
ceive attention In Germany, and we
learn from the Electrotechnische Zeit-
schrift that Herr Gustave Couz, the
electrical manufacturer in Hamburg,
has been experimenting in this direc-
tion with promising results A wind
motor has been erected at the works of
the company in question which has
a diameter Of 40 feet and an effective
sail surface Of 1,470 square feet. The
motor works at the rate Of about elev-
en- revolutions per minute, which speed
Is regulated by automatic modification
Of the direction of the sails to the
wind. with this motor an output of /
horsepower to 30-horse-power and
more may be obtained, according to the
force Of the wind, which power is trans
mitted to 30 horse power shunt-wind,
ironclad dynamo, designed to give 120
amperes at 100 volts terminal pressure
when running at 700 revolutions per
minute.
The current generated by this ma
chine Is conducted to a switchboard
and thence to battery OF accumulat-
ors having a capacity Of $4,000 watt
hours or may be delivered to electro
motors. So soon as the wind has at
tained velocity Of 8 feet per second
the dynamo may be brought up to Its
full terminal pressure. With an In
creasing wind force the charging Of the
battery may be commenced. Automat-
ic cut-outs for the dynamo were proved
unnecessary with the arrangement
adopted. The electromagnetic Of the
dynamo are permanently excited by the
battery, the plus pole being connected
with the battery, while the negative
pole is connected to the charging
switch. By this arrangement automat-
ic regulation of the dynamo voltage is
secured. An automatic battery-dis-
charging switch serves to maintain the
line of tension of ITO volts constant,
both during the charging process and
when discharglng.
Small motors are conected to thu
lighting circuits, but larger ones are
supplied by separate circuits branched
of from the terminals Of the generator.

There is one curious fact which no,
everybody notices about the common,
finger-long, green caterpillars of our
larger moths. Their hearts, instead of
being in front, are at the back of the
body and extend along the entire
length Of the animal. One can see the
heart distinctly through the thin skin
and can watch its slow beat, which
starts at the tail and moves forward
to the head. Hearts of this sort reach.

back also are quite as frequent as

Rank Among Children.

We noticed the other day a para
graph floating through the press that
exploited the eldest child in the family.
Milton, Byron, Shelley, George Eliot,
George Sand, Charlotte Bronte,
Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton
and a number of others were grouped
together to show that the eldest child
Is the superior Intellectually to those
hat follow.
But now some equally ingenious jour-
1alist has taken the trouble to combine
the youngest children and they make
showing that is at least equal to the
elder children's group. George Wash
ington was younger son. Napoleon
was the eighth child Of his parents.
Coleridge was the thirteenth child.
Franklin was the sixteenth child Of
his family and was the last.
Among musicians the record Is yet
more remarkable. Richard Wagner
was the last of seven; Mozart the last
Of seven; Schumann the last of five;
Schubert the thirteenth Of fourteen.
Among artists, too, the younger chill
dren excel. Rubens was the last of
seven; Rembrandt was the last of six !;
Sir Edwin Landseer the fifth of seven; /;
and Sir Joshua Reynolds was the sew
enth child.
Coming down to our owu century,
Robert e. Lee and Ulysses s. Grant
were both younger sons, while George
B. Mcclellan and Stonewall Jackson
were eldest sons.

Everything becomes possible to those
who love. The commands of the Lord
are no longer grieyous, for the soul
that loves is gifted by that love with
fresh energies it discovers In itself un-
suspected possibilities, and is supplied
with ever-howing currents of new
vigor. We shall be enabled to do 80
much If only we love. We live by low
Ing, and the more we love the more we
live; and therefore, when life feels dull
and the spirits are low, turn and love
God, love your nelghbor, and YOU will

A STREET CAR STORY.

He boarded Troost avenue car at
8 80 O'clock last night with, paper
package under his arm and sat down
with an acquaintance, according to the
Kansas City Times.
Same old story, eh?" said the ac-
qualntanee, glanclng at the package.
-Four order clerks call at the door
every morning and two telephones In
the house, but your wife calls you up
just as you're leaving the office and
wants you to bring home"
"Oh, no, not at ALL" broke in the
bearer of the package, hastily. II got
over that years ago. They can't ring
me in for packhorse at my age. I'm
too old a bird. This-er-this little
package is a box of candy for my
daughter. I-er-I wrap 1t up this way
to fool her, that's ALL"
He tucked the package closer under
his arm and became absorbed in his
newspaper.
The vestlbule was crowded when he
started to leave the car at 26th street.
AS he squeezed his way through to the
steps the "candy" was jostled from un-
der his arm and fell to the floor.
"Ker-choo,' This from the conduct

The crowd in the vestibule decided
the conductors act was admirable and
worthy of emulation "Ker-choo, ker-

street and gave the motorman two bells.

seed-Carrying Birdu.

1t Is almost beyond belief how birds
carry the seeds of plants from one
country to another, and even from one
continent to another. Darwin says
that he found on the feet of ducks and
geese killed in England the seeds of
plants peculiar to Central Africa. More
specifically, he found in six grains of
dirt removed from the feet of plover
three different kinds OF seeds. Cattle
carry seeds on their feet, too. 1t is said
that man in New York, by means of
the microscope, found the seeds of six
kinds of weeds and grasses In the mud
that Texas steer brought on its feet
from that far distant State. All this
may seem to have been accidental, but
students OF nature attribute 1t to a
reat and overruling design.

1t Is light. 1t Is the music Of the
spheres sung in the darksome places

Striving and Failing.

Life is not designed to minister to
a mans vanity. Hegoes upon his long
business most of the time with hang
ing head, and all the time like a blind
child. Full of rewards and pleasures
as it is-so that to see the day break,
or the moon rise, or to meet friend, or
to hear the dinner call when he is
hungry, fills him with surprising joys
this world is yet for him no abiding
city. Friendships fall through, health
fails, WEAKNESS assails him; year after
year he must thumb the hardly varying
record of his own weakness and folly.
1t is friendly process of detachment.
When the time comes that ne should
go, there need be few Illusions left
about himself. Here lies one who
meant well, tried little, failed mueh"
surely that may be his epitaph, of
which he need not be ashamed.-Rober.

allow a man or woman or child to sleep
face down without having to twist the
neck nearly out of joint. We will style
1t the "back-up cure" and introduce 1t
in all homes. There is no excuse for
lying on the back and keeping the
spine hot all night, while the front OF
the body-the abdomen, the stomach,
the chest, the throat, etc.-is allowed
to become chilled. A hot spine Is q
disease generator. And, on the other
hand, q cold spine is death.

this gets down about the breathing ap

are worse than the midnight howl of 8
hyena. Never marry woman that
snores. Ask her before you propose II
she is addicted to snoring, and II she
says yea" avoid her.
1t Is much easier to relax when sleep
ing on your front than when sleeping
on your back. And what we all need
after touching the bed at night Is re.
taxation. 1t Is billion pities that
some scientist cannot teach the art OF
relaxing. Our strenuous life, OF course,
Is not blameless in this matter. We 60
to bed In excitement, and the nerves
(not all but some, as Bryan would
say, are strung all night. That is to
say, we 60 to bed In full tune, like a
piano, and cannot possibly let the
strings down. Therefore we do not
rest. Could we relax perfectly we
could sleep four or Ave hours and arise
refreshed but as we cannot relax, we
groan and dream and sweat and roll
over and have remorse for eight OF
nine hours, and get up with swelled
head.
Every man and woman In this coun-
try was brought up with the notion
that If the feet were higher than the
head in sleeping all the blood would
rush to the head and cause strangula-
tion. This Is the verlest rot. Advanced
physicians now advocate the elevated
feet for the cure of insomnia. Hang
your legs over the footboard, get rid Of
your pillow, and go to sleep like an In
fant. You are on your feet all day and
half the night. Stand on your head the
rest of the night and let the blood cir
culate the other way. Maybe your
brain needs 1t.

Friendship, this beautiful relation ol
life to life soul to soul, is of most Sc
rlous import. 1t sometimes makes our
warmest friend In reality our worst
enemy. Bad qualities in friend are
false lights-they lure to evil. Many
of us are constituted so that 1t is easy
for us to form friendships, Let us be
careful OF those thus brought under
our influence and power. Let us keep
them unsoiled. Let us feel that grave
responsibilities lie in our friendships
and that they also enshrine glorious

sermonIess Sermons.

II the church abandon the sermon,
It abandons direct instruction of adults.
Even the churches with the most elab-
Orate liturgies have never yet done
that. They have always recognized
that the people should not only be call
ed to worship, but that they should
also be given reasons for worshiping
and counsel that might sustain them in
their faith against the trials and temp
tations of the world.
To ask people to attend church ser
vices without instruction and devoted
wholly to prayer and praise would be
like asking them to attend political
meetings at which there would be no
speeches, merely to hear the band play
and the quartet sing and see the can
didates sit on the platform.
The sufficient answer to all such silly
suggestions is that the preachers who
really preach-who realize that it Is
neither necessary nor desirable now
adays that Christian minister should
be a scientific summarlzer, or a literary
reviewer, or an art critic, or ''socio-
logical' Investigator, or anything but
just a preacher of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ to sinful men, never lacks for
bearers.
The preacher who presents that Cos
pei full and round, with It's bones of
positive doctrine as well as its flesh of
aspiring emotion, and who presents it
with the authority which belongs to ev-
cry man who breaches because he can
not do anything else without feeling
himself a false man and traitor to
the truth, has no need to ask why men
do not come to hear him. VI
