POWER FROM THE WIND.
Sails Used In Germany to Generate
Electricity.

Sails Used In Germany 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 MISUNDERSTANDING Zeit-
schrift that Herr Gustave Couz, the
electrical manufacturer In Hamburg,
has been experimenting in this direc-
ton 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 1,47O 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 3O-horse-power and
more may be obtained, according to the
force Of the wind, which power is trans
mitted to 80 horsepower shunt-wind,
ironclad dynamo, designed to give 100
amperes at 100 volts terminal pressure
when running at 700 revolutions per
minute.
The current generated by this ma
chine Is conducted to 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 a velocity of 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-
lc cut-outs for the dynamo were proved
unnecessary with the arrangement
adopted. The eletro- magnets 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 no volts constant,
both during the charging process and
when discharging. I"
Small motors are connected to the
lighting circuits, but larger ones are
supplied by separate circuits branched
Off from the terminals of the generator.

Il could hear the bone in his wrist

ed" he said.
The big man began to explain. I'm
not what you would call timid sort
of person, but the mention of any in
jury to the wrist always turns me
faint. I can stand seeing blood flow
or hear thrilling tales of broken limbs
and smashed heads, but I can't stand
any wrist stories. l don't know the
reason. 1t seems to be merely mat
ter Of temperament"
A quiet little man came to the res
cue. II know just what you mean"
he said. You're not the only one who
has a peculiar aversion to a certain
sort Of injury. Now, my particular
aversion Is on account of trouble with
: the eyes. Immediately I begin to blink
and wink and my eyes smart until |
can't stand it. I'd rather hear an &C.
count Of brutal murder than any de-
scription Of an eye disease"

man had been thinking. II have one

of paralytic shocks, to which l particu-
larly object. l feel myself growing
numb all over when l hear such tales,
and I always make an excuse to get

His remark was signal for uni
versal confession. One acknowledged
that the sight of blood gave him a sen
sation of extreme nausea; another said
that reading or hearing Of a fracture
Of the skull gave him "a gone feeling
at his stomach" and another said he
shiyered SO his teeth chartered every
time he heard an account of an opera
ton for appendicitis.
The big man was triumphant well.

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
that follow.
But now some equally ingenious jour
nalist 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
1ngton was a younger son. Napoleon
was the eighth child Of his parents.
oColeridge 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 owl century,
Robert e. Lee and Ulysses s. Grant
were both younger sons, while George
p. Mcclellan and Stonewa1l Jackson
were eldest sons.

wishes to draw out any Of his money
he must fill out check and sign and
indorse 1t just as he would In any
other bank. At the end of the day
the business Is checked up and en-
tered upon the banks ledgers, and each
individual account is carried in the
card index file SO that any depositor'a

SeeI-Carryfnx Birds.

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 saws
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 a nlovar
three different kinds of seeds Carrie
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 it TO a
great and oyerruling design.

One method is

stock market. One method is
just as pernicious to the body po-
little as the other in kind, and in
degree the evil worked is far grea-
ter. But it is a far more difficult
subject with which to deal. The
great bulk of the business tran
sacted on the exchanges is not on
ly legitimate, but is necessary to
the working of our modern indus
trial system, and extreme care
would have to be taken not to in
terfere with this business in doing
away with the "bucket shop" type
of operation. We should study
the successes and the failures of
foreign Legislators who, notably in
Germany, have worked along this
line, so as not to do anything
harmful. Moreover. there is a
special difficulty in dealing with
this matter by the Federal Gov
ernment in a Federal Republic
like ours. But if it is possible to
devise a way to deal with it the
effort should be made, even il on
ly in a cautious and tentative way.
1t would seem that the Federal
Government could at least act by
forbiddiug the use of the mails
telegraph and telephones wires
for mere gambling in stocks aud
futures, just as it does in lottery
transactions"
The above is from the Louisiana
Statistical Bureau.
We can see no good reason to
destroy Cotton Exchanges, but we
see every reason to destroy the
gambling feature of the exchanges.
Future contracts should be- pro-
tected, but these contracts should
be Legitimate, for actual delivery
and not for gambling as at present
at the exchanges.
