CHURCH LIGHTED BY WIND
Novel Method Employed to illuminate
Sacred Edlfice. Near Birming-
ham, England.

Probably one of the most novel
methods of providing lighting for a
church is that employed at the old
Cosely church, situated few miles
out from Birmingham, England.
About 600 feet from the church Is
the mouth of a disdsed coal mine.

so feet high is erected and a windmill
Is feet in diameter installed. At the
base Of the tower in small house is
an electric generator which is run by

THE COOLEST PLACE ON EARTH

What Is said to be the coolest place on the globe
is the region of verkholensk Siberia Here IT, a
convict station, but during most Of the year no
guards are needed to keep the prisoners from run
ming away. for in the more severe portions Of the
winter no living creature can remain in the open
and during the three most severe months when
the temperature sometimes falls to IS degrees be-
low zero, no one dares to venture out for moro
than few moments at time.
Ordinary steel tools will snap like glass, and
unseasoned wood becomes almost as hard as
steel. When one breathes powder like the very
finest snow falls at ones feet 1t is said that there
are less forms of insect life here than elsewhere
in the world and some of those found are not
found elsewhere. seemingly having been created
especially to inhabit such frigd region.
Some Of the signalservice officials declare that
most of the severe cold waves that sweep across
the North American continent have their origin In
Verktolensk. The wind blows perfect gale almost
all the time, and that discomfort added to the low
temperature, would certainly make this very un-
pleasant place in which to spend the winter.

lea of the Scotch sailors remains. The resolution
called for appropriation OF $4,000 to pay the

the Rue des Ecluses;}5aint Martin on several
other rues which they could not pronounce.
Congress In its humor had the aid and jocose
search and made the most of It. And here recol
lection brings blush of contrition to the cheeks
Of one who followed In the train. Members said
and correspondents wrote that the French doubtless
grady would allow their business palaces to be
dermined and toppled to ruin on the payment Of
$4,000 of Yankee cash.
II Yankee cheek, the representatives said, aided
by French poiteness, could accomplish the purpose
of building demolition, there would be small chance
of separating Jones' bones with any certainty of
identity from those of the French seepers in the
old cemetery. One scofer suggested with fine irony
that there might be bit OF the original Scotch
skull left, and that Sidney Smiths rule might be
applied to make positive the Identification.
