ELECTRIC POWER FROM WIND
Economical Lighting Plants Can Be
Based on 1t. With Gasoline
Motors to Help.

There has never been time when
the forces of nature were subjected
to such searching scrutiny to deter
mine their availability for the devel
opment of mechanical power as they
receive at present This arises main
ly from the progressive use of cleo
tricity
Among other things it is believed
that the wind can be utilized to a far
greater extent than in the past. espe
cially for electrical lighting With this
object in view the average state OF
the wind has been Investigated in Eng
land. 1t is found that for approx
nately half the time the mean wind
velocity is ten miles an hour, and for
about one-third of the time fifteen
miles. In the winter the average is
higher. The great difficulty arises
from the calm periods, which may
last days. or even week, but it has
been shown that economical lighting
plants can be based upon wind power
by providing gasoline motors TO take
up the work whenever the wind fails

step as you mount on either hand,
you hear the voice of supplication-
not of worshippers nor of mendicants,
but of vendors of post cards and melo-
dious gongs and OF the "whacking fat
cheroot" made famous by Kipling's
ION the Road to Mandalay." When at
last you reach the topmost stair and
golden dome-for the Shwe Dagon is
an overtowering cone that uprises di-
rect from a stone-paved platform in
stead of from some forms of geometric
walls-a surprise awaits you.
This dome that you saw hours ago
for 1t is one of the most conspicuous
landmarks that the hand OF man has
uplifted in the east--is not itself
temple to be entered with unshod feet
and irreverent heart. 1t is but
cleaning tower that thrusts itself up
ward from a village of temples, each
Of which is itself a marvel of archi-
tectural beauty or monument of
tawdry ornamentation.
But the Shwe Dagon has lovelier
aspect when you turn from the pagoda-
jewellers to the streams of devout visi-
tors that empty into the square from
each of its four gateways. The Bur
mese seem to worship in family groups
and they have the pleasant habit of
arraying themselves in their brightest
garments before ascending to the
great house of prayer. 1t is no I'M
common sight TO see a dainty little
lady performing her genufiections be-
fore a shrine, with the stump of a
very fat and very black cigar pro-
truding at a nonchalant angle from
her tiny mouth.
We saw much more In Rangoon-
we of the Cleveland" pilgrims to so
many sacred places-but this is the
one overtowering memory of Rangoon.

the corner and lifted up fragrant
glove. 1t was one of Lefty Lanes
gloves which Dan had found in the
motor and taken possession of The
young man had gone to his dressing
room and begun running his bath, and
Ruggles, laying the glove on the table,
said to himself:
Il knew he would get rid of the
duchess, all right"
But when Dan came back into the
room later in his dressing gown for
breakfast, Ruggles said:
You'll have to send her back her
glove, Dannie."
At the sight of it beside the break
fast tray Dan blushed scarlet. He
picked up the fragrant object.
That's all right; I'll take care of
it."

Ruggles saw he had not returned in
vain. and that he was destined to take
up his part of the business just as he
had laid it out for himself to Lord
Galorey. It's up to me now: I'll have
to take care of the actress, and I'm
darned if haven't got job. If Dan
colors up like that at the sight OF
her glove, I wonder what he does
when he holds her hand!"

CHAPTER XXI.
What Will You Take?

When Dan, on the minute Of two,
went to the Savoy, Higgins, as was
her custom, did not meet him. Miss
Lane met him herself. She was read
ing a letter by the table, and when
Dan was announced she put it back in
its envelope Blair had seen her only
in soft clinging dresses, in white Wis
ionary clothes, or in her dazzling part
costume. where the play dress OF the
dancer displayed her beauty and her
charms. Today she wore tailor
made gown, and in her dark cloth
dress, in her small hat, she seemed a
new woman-some one he hadn't
known and did not know, and he eX-
perienced the thrill man always feels
when the woman he loves appears in
an unaccustomed dress and suggests a
new mystery.
"Oh, say! You're not going out,
are you?"
In the lapel of her close little coat
was a flower he had given her. lie

it rested there. She assured him:

soOthed him, and came into his wax
ing thoughts, for at noon he was VIC
lently shaken by the shoulder and a
mans voice called him as he opened
his eyes and looked into Ruggles'
face.
Gee Whitaker" Ruggles ex-
claimed, you are one of the seven
sleepers! I've been here something
like seventeen minutes, whistling and
making all kinds of barnyard noises. 3"
As Dan welcomed him, rubbing the
sleep from his eyes, Ruggles told him
that he had come over the pond"
just fer the wedding.
There isn't going to be any we'd
ding, Josh! Got out of all that last
night"
Ruggles had the breakfast card in
his hand, which the waiter had
brought in, and Dan. taking it from
his friend, ordered big breakfast.

What was the matter with the
duchess?" Ruggles asked. Were you
too young for her, or not rich
enough?"
Significantly the boy answered:
"One too many, JOSH" and Ruggles
WINGED at the response.
Here are the fellows with my
trunks and things" he announced as
the porters came in with his luggage.
Just drop them there, boys; they're
going to fix some kind of a room
