ELECTRICITY FROM WAVES
William snee Finds Way to Catch
Power From Wind and Waves.

Washington, Special.-Within tho
next few days Atlantic City is to wit
ness a practical demonstration of a
new invention that will utilize the
imitless force of the ocean tides and
waves in the production Of power,
light, and heat. The inventor claims
that he has mastered the problem in
a manner that makes its application
both economic and practical.
Engineers who have tested the wave
motors invented by William Snee, of
Pitsburg, state that these motors will
do the work for which they are in
tended.
The motor, or rather the revolving
portion Of the motor, resembles in
construction, and is. in effect, tur-
bine. 1t is the only turbine wheel
ever invented for generating power
from wave and tide motion. The
motor revolves within the stationary
shield that is equipped with refec-
tors and guide blades set at such an
angle as to harmonic all outside
conflicting forces of the water, so
that no matter from what direction
the water is jetted into the interior,
the motor always turns in one direc-
ton.
Models of various sizes have been
made, and the experiments have
proved such an unqualified success
that two elton motors have .beena
installed at the end Of Young's pier
at Atlantic City, and the power OBJ
tained will be utilized to make the
pier and beach blaze of light.
The wave motors works as well on
land as it does in the water. This
feature was tested recently at Pitts
burg, the motor proving itself to be
twenty per cent more sensitive to the
currents Of the air than the ane-
mometer, and the same principle that
harmonizes the outside wheel per-
forms the same service in harmonic
ing conflicting forces of wind.
This discovery naturally suggests
the idea of using both the wind and
wave motors in government light
houses, and the inventor at once
brought the matter to the attention Of
the government officials.

couldn't stand her husbaEda peculia-
rites any longer, and had Gfsap-
peared, leaving a written message
saying that if he wished to find her
she was at the bottom of the nearest
pond.
The absurd thought flashed across
his confused brain that Sarah might
have adopted the same melodramatic
means of escape. His knees began to
tremble as ne sank helplessly into a
cnair.. Then he read the message,
and as its meaning penetrated his
slow compTehonsiop, mis- sense of re-
lief united with his sense OF humor to
make him laugh as he lad not
laughed for years.
That's a good 'un!" he cried.
That's a good joke on me! HALF a
dollar was too much for you, was it,"
he continued, reaching out for the
andlron. Now, look here, don't you
ever tell Sarah Haskins how much I
paid to get you back" Then his
voice dropped from its tone of COM
mand to one of half-humorous con-
fession. IT was kind o. 'fraid." he
said, "that that written message
might be to tell me Il was a widower,
instead Of which'-and he laughed
again" twas only to tell me that
you was the widcw!"-The Youths

TWO, MORE JURORS ACCEPTED.

Nashville, Tenn, Specialize
ninth day of the trial of Duncan B.
Cooper, Robin Cooper and John D.,

ator Edward W. Carmack closed with
two additions having been made to
the jury, which now numbers 9.
The two recent acquisitions are Gus
Knipfe1 and P. o. Beirman.
Up to Friday Night, 1,165 tales.
men have been examined in an effort
to get. the 12 men. of those who
qualified the State challenged 13, the
defense challenged % and the court
summarily excused two after they had
been declared satisfactory to both
sides.
It is conceded that the action of
the State in charging two talisment
with perjury has greatly reduced the
chances of getting a jury at once.
Many of those summoned say they
may have expressed an opinion at the
time the murder occurred, and for
fear of an indictment, they disquali-
fy themselves.
After hearing testimony in the case
of Juror Whitworth, whose health is
said to be such that his life would be
endangered by the confinement incl
dent to the trial of the case, Judge
Hart was disposed to excuse him at
once, but the State asked that de-
cision be withheld until the next pam
el was exhausted.

The pollution of streams by factory

Theatrical
ANOTHER GIRL SHOW

Another "girl" show, "The

engagement before a good house at
the Spokane theater last night.
While there is much general SINH
larity to its predecessors of the
same type, yet 1.-The Honeymoon
Trail has some originality that
seems to gain favor with the audi

costumes, some attractive scenic
settings, music that skips along
smoothly and a succession of COM
edy that is, the chief enjoyment of
the play. There are the usual Choir
uses, clad in the usual scant attire,
but chorus girls must necessarily
be original in thes days of musical
comedies to attract particular no.
tice. The Brownie chorus, intro.
ducing the representatives of all
nations, is clever piece Of work.
The scene of the thin thread of a
story to the play is laid in the vi
cinity of rest cure" and a hotel
occupied by people seeking a di-
vorce in southern California. The
mingling of the minated and mis-
mated arouse many complications
in which fun develops. Bert Baker
