Recent Experiment In England Has
Proved Complete Success.

"The old-fashioned four1armed wind
mill for the purpose of grinding corn
has now become almost extinct In
this country" (England), says Cham
bers' Journal, but the circular type OF
wind engine is obtaining an extended
use for the operation Of smah ma
chimes about a farm and for the pro-
vision Of private water supplies. A
new use has also been found for this
prime mover in the form Of providing
power for private electrie-lighting in
stallations, and at least N successful
example of this application of wind
power is in operation. The earliest
attempt TO use a windmill for this pur-
pose was made by Mr.. George Cad
bury some IL years ago: and although
this plant was very badly proportional,
owing to the lack of previous expert
ence, the lighting was on one occa'
sion kept up for six weeks without a
break. Excellent results have been
obtained In a later installation by
means of the knowledge gained from
Mr.. Cadbury's experiments, and a
plant erected three years later for
lighting a large mansion in Yorkshire
