ELECTRIC POWER FROM WIND

According to Consul General Richard Guenther
OF frankfort. German papers state that In Ger
many wind motors as power generators for use in
agricultural and industrial pursuits are rarely met
with. but that in Denmark their use has increased
very greatly. The consul general continues:
Since 1877 the Danish government has contrib
uted about S1sooo for equipments, and has
lately erected an experimental station Askoc. A
technical writer describes these experiments. which
were made on the initiative OF the Danish govern
ment, and also some OF the electric works in Den
mark which generate electricity by Of wind
motors. According 10 his statements. motors with
four wings have given the best results smaller
number OF wings does not fully utilize the wind
power while "a larger number acts detrimentally
upon the wind current between the wings.
IL medium large wind motor is used with a wing
surface OF about As square metres q square metre

NEW BOROUGH BUILDING
Brooklyn Fighting Shy of q Munich
pal Proposition.

For three administrations the borough presidents
Of Brooklyn have been urging upon the city the
necessity of building new and much larger mu-
nicipal building. There times when architects
who have been set to work upon plans for the
structure went far to set aside sO0O 600 for the
work. and still the building is as much the pro
posed new municipal building It was when j.
Edward Swanstrom undertook to persuade the city
to put IL up. five Or six years ago
And all that time the city has been mourning in
debtedness and paying out money for plans that
have done nobody but the architects any good in
the past. and tho prospects seem to be that the

MURDER AMONG BEES.

If the mother bee of colony is getting past her
work and she cannot be sent off with the swarm
in the usual way the bees will supersede her. They
will deliberately put her to death and raise another
queen to take her place. This state execution of
the old wornout queens is of the curious
pathetic things in out Of bee life. One probe
with a sting would suffice in the matter. but the
honey bee is great stickler for the propreties.
The royal victim must be- allowed her fate
royal way and she is killed by caresses tight
locked in the joint embrace Of the executioners
until suffocation brings about the victims death

\ new and interesting solution OF
the servant problem is just being tried
here. This problem, by the way, is
one of the most serious of all those
which porplex the city since 81 per
cent of the persons desiring them are
unable to obtain competent servants,
ana the avcragc time which the house
hold helper remains in one place is
less than two months. 1t is estimat-
ed by employment agencies that the
average servant takes at least seven
different positions every year, ana
that twenty-five per cent of their time
is spent in looking for new places with
resultant changes of more than 1900
daily. This of course does not mean
that there are 1000, 900 servants
seeking places in New York. since a
large number change oftcner than
once a week. The Housewives socie-
ty, which has been organized TO cope
with this servant problem, viii at
tempt to counterfeit the tendency
among servants to change situations
constantly by offering a series of
awards for continuous service for
terms ranging from two to twelve
years. For the latter term Of cOntin-
uous service rings and cash prizes are
given. Prizes for shorter periods in
cludc bracelets, orders for clothes and
the like. For two years continuous
service solid gold bees in the form OF
pins are given. As an indication Of
the condition in this city the fact that
only thirty-one bees, four bracelets
and ono ring were awarded at tho first
presentation of prizes Is significant. In
other words the society which found
positions for 900 s%crvants last year has
been able to discover only thirty-one
who have occupied the Same position
for two wears. and only one who has
done so for twelve years.

of course.
Immediately afterward he changed the
clothes to lighter weight and color for

plain gray cheviot, solid in color. and
darker in shade than the top hat which
he continued to wear all afternoon.
The coat was frock, often called

"Wear' is nothing but rubbing"
Every time you hard rub your clothes
against anything, little PARTICLES are
rubbed away.
Boiling softens the fibre of cotton,
linen, silk and wool, and when rubbed
hard on the washboard they wear away
faster than at any other time.
Try to think how many days of wear
are represented by one trip to the old
time washtub.
Fels-Naptha requires neither boiling
water nor hard rubbing.
And there is no washboard wear on
the clothes washed the Fels-Naptha way.
Fels-Naptha is made to do away with
boiling and hard rubbing; therefore if
you use it as an ordinary soap, you cause
yourself unnecessary work.
Use Fels-Naptha in cool or luke
warm water and it will do all we claim.
1t will cut the washday in half, sum-
mer or winter, and do silently and effec-
lively all the real hard work.
If you follow the simple directions
on the red and green wrapper, you will
never return to ordinary soaps and the
old-fashioned way of washing.
