Quaint Ceremony, Seven Cen

CITY THUS PAYS FOR
FEUDAL LAND GRANT

LONDON. Saturday.

THERE was an echo Of medieval
methods Of doing business about a
quaint ceremony which took place In
the Royal Courts of Justice few days
ago when the City Solicitor pnid to the
Kings Remembrancer certain quit
rents" in respect OF land in Shropshire and
the Temple.
The first payment of the first of these
''Iuit rents began nearly seven hundred
years ago. when King Henry II. granted
certain land in Shropshire to one Nicholas
De Mora. who held them by tenure of two
knives, zone good, the other very bad
one" which had to be rendered to the
Royal Exchenuer every year.
The other tenure. that of land some-
where In the Temple, was granted by the
same King to one Walter LIE Brun, a
blacksmith. whose work came by reason
OF the tournaments of the knights Tenn
plars. Possibly tho King at some time had
need OF the smiths dexterlty. at any rate,
the land on which his smithy stood was

granted to him in return for yearly
tribute of six horseshoes and their nails
In the passing Of the centuries both these
lands came somehow into the possession
of the city, and year by year the corpora
ton has paid to the representative of the
Crown the rent of knives. horseshoes and
nails.
| This quaint survival or feudal days was
carried out with all due form and cere-
mony when the time came for the payment
of the "quit rents" for 1910. In open court
the Kings Remembrancer, Master Mellor.
in full panoply OF robes, wig and white
gloves, sat to receive the Kings dues. Be-
low him in the Court was the City soic-
litor. Sir Homewood Crawford. provided
with all nccdful to do his part in payment
on behalf OF the City Fathers.
PROCLAMATION IS MADE.
Then was made proclamation:-
Tenants and occupiers OF a piece Of
waste ground called The Moors.' in the
county of Salop, come forth and do your
service.
Up rose the City Solicitor. Before him
on a little block he laid a small fasgot
and with one blow cut 1t in twain with n
Ratchet. That was the good knife AM
other little fagsot was laid OH the board,
and this time bill hook was used. But
as the bill hook had to play the part OF
the very bad knife. the City Solicitor had
to strike two blows or more to show Just
how rusty, dull and bad 1t was.
Another proclamation rang through the
court. This time it called on the tenants

MODERN WIND TURBINE.

tricity. Such a windmill as this is
provided with an electric generator
and switchboard and a fifty-five cell
storage battery as it's electrical ap-
paratuS. The wheel is always in run
ming position, ready to make use Of
every puff that comes, and it steadily
makes and stores current except in
times of absolutely still weather
The generator used with wind tur-
bine sixteen feet in diameter is usual
ly Of two kilowatts capacity and Of
100 volts. It's armature shaft is placed
vertically and Is driven by means of
belt from pulley placed at the bot
tom Of the vertical shaft Of the wind
turbine tower. The control of the
field circuit Is maintained by resist
ance worked by relay switches ener-
gized by the main circuit. 1t is OBJ
vious that as the velocity Of the wind
increases the power available on the
turbine also increases. and it is pos
sible to so adjust the relay switches
that they switch resistance in or out
Of the field circuit as the velocity Of
the wind increases or decreases. Thus
instead Of governing on the speed Of
the wheel the governing is done on
the out put Of the wheel. The object,
of course. is to allow the wheel to run
at its most economical speed within
the range for which it is designed

would cost from $1,000 to 81 200, ac-
cording to the size Of the storage bat

to make the best of light winds. The
result is that even in wind having a

per hour the turbine generates cleo
