Nantucket's Windmills.
There isn't q stream or a brook in
the island Of Nantucket, of the New
England coast. but there are plenty Of
windmills, which pump water to tanks
and thus supply community needs:
also Nantucket possesses what is be-
lieved to be the oldest windmill for
grinding corn in actual operation in
America. Nathan Wilbur, Nantucket
sailor, who had seen the busy wind
mills of Holland az he sailed abroad,
built it out Of timbers of wrecked ships
in 1746 There has never been a day
in all the 165 years since that time
when the mill has not been busy.
There is always a wind to turn its out
stretched wings.-New York World.

often surprisingly good one.
A traveller in Scotland once met a
farmer whose ground rent was about
$40 year and who wrote poetry in
Gaelic that was Of high order.
This same traveller met youth in
Scotland who rode from home on
horseback to the seaport and then
across Scotland to Aberdeen. where he
sold bis horse to enter the university.
It Is related of another Scotchman
that he was overheard repeating line
Of Tennyson, whereupon some one ask
ed him what poet be liked best.

Wrecked bv 4 Knife Blade.


A ship was once wrecked on the
Irish coast. The captain was a care
full one. Nor had the weather been Of
so severe a kind as to explain the
wide distance which the vessel had
swerved from her proper course. The
ship went down. but 80 much interest
attached to the disaster that diving
bell was sunk. Among other portions
Of the vessel that were examined was
the compass that was swung on the
deck, and inside the compass box was
detected a bit Of steel, which appeared
to be the small point Of a pocket
knife blade. It was learned that the
day before the wreck a sailor who
had been set cleaning the compass
had used his pocket knife in the proc
ess and had unceremoniously broken
of the point and left it remaining In
the box. That bit Of knife blade ex-
erted it's influence on the compass and
to degree that DETECTED the needle
from its proper bent and vitiated it as
an index Of the ships direction. That
bit Of knife blade wrecked the vessel.

Bending Of Great Guns.

Among the problems with which ar
my and navy engineers have to deal
nowadays is that of the dropping Of
the muzzles Of excessively long guns
under the stress of their own weight
Experiments have shown that wire
wound guns of twelve inch caliber and
fifty feet length droop at the muzzle
about four and half minutes of arc,
while built up solid guns Of the same
size droop about two and half min.
utes. Differences of temperature In
the body Of the gun also cause bend
ings. which may either increase the
droop at the muzzle or counterfeit It,
according as it is the upper or under
part of the gun that has the higher
temperature. In consequence of these
distortions projectiles on leaving gun
have wabbly motion, continuing up
to 800 yards, and probably more.
