The Wind to Work

The United States patent Of
flee has passed the million mark.
That is, the patent Office has is
sued over 100000 patents.
This is indeed a great many
patents. Among the latest
patents to be granted is one of a
new kind of a machine that is
intended to harness the wind.
This new air morton promises to
open a vast field for Harvesting
the wind.
This new wind morton is built
along entirely different lines
from all others and bids fair to
revolutionize the making of ma
chimes which use the wind as
power. When a new field is
opened it will make it possible
to successfully generate and
store electrical energy, which
may be used for heating, light
ing, cooking, running mortors
and morton cars, running agri-
cultural implements and other
machinery as we'll as doing
other things which are too num-
erous to mention, here. Added
to this every increasing list we
find pumping water for irrga-
ton filling a very prominent and
important place. In fact, the
new invention promises to rev.
olutionize the old way of doing
work on the farms and ranches.
A great many. yes almost the
majority, of our farmers use the
old fashioned windmills TO fur
nish power to pump water and
many other things, but this is
so unreliable and the source of
power is so unstable that this
manner of doing work is limited
and has proved failure for
practical purposes. With this
new invention it seems that the
farmer will be provided with
The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1912-10-31

ample power for running pumps,
feed mills, washing machines,
grindstones, churns, clipping
machinery, and in fact, almost
all manner of farm machinery
that the farmer finds need of on
his farm or ranch.
The old style windmill has
been in use for more than two
centuries, and is only a slight
improvement over the extremely
large and cumbersom mills of
Holland. Little improvement
has been made in the windmill,
and the fact that the power is
applied so far from where the
work is obtained that it is very
unsatisfactory. The fact that
fan has to be placed on top of
a tower in order TO receive the
force of the wind, and that the
fan is so arranged that the wind
is dead push against all the
bearings makes it subject to the
greatest amount of friction, as
well as wear and tear. Operat-
ing as it does above the top of
the tower the power is limited.
and there is a lot of gear lash"
or loss of power exercised in the
long rod that is necessary to
connect the gears with the
pump, or the place that the
energy is converted into work.
II has been on account of the in.
ability of the old style mill to do
the work in a satisfactory
manner that the new invention
has been brought out.
There is an old adage that
runs something like this, that is
familiar with practically every
one, Necessity is the mother
of invention" and it is due to
the necessity for a new and a
better machine to supplant the
inferior one that this new ma
chine has been brought out.

Railroad Orders Heavy

Chicago, H.. Oct. rs. --Orders
for steel rails and equipment
placed by the railroads last week
represented a total expenditure
of more than $50. 900, 900. con-
tracts calling for 300. 600 tons Of
rail, 100 locomotives, 10000
cars and several thousand tons
of bridge structural steel. The
rail business placed was entirely
for 1913 delivery and the bulk of
the cars ordered will not be de-
livered until the middle of next
year.
None of the material equip
ment or rails can be counted
upon to relieve in any way the
congestion of freight which is
now bothering the roads and
promises TO last into the next
year.

Taken to Hospital for
Operation.

II has been the general opin-
ion, as well as that of mir.
Coughran himself. that he was
getting along as well as could be
reasonable expected. and that
the bullet in his left knee would
give him little or no trouble.
DR.. Smith on last Monday made
an incision into the track Of the
bullet and was surprised at the
condition he found had develop
ed. There was pus in consider
able quantity and evidence that
the bone of his knee had been
shattered. II was thought best
to take the patient to a hospit-
al in the event an operation had
to be performed, and he was ac-
cordingly taken to the hospital
of DR.. Alexander at Abilene, on
Monday night. accompanied by
DR.. Smith, Judge Coe. his son,
Jim and daughter. Roxie.
He was operated on Monday
and great hopes are entertained
that his leg will be saved. His
condition is now quite encourage
