all his wood without difficulty and does
It as quickly as he could with an en-.
gine.
The mill has four FANS" each Of
which Is about fifteen feet long and
six feet wide. On these are stretched
strips Of tough canvas; these form tho
sails" Each fan Is set at slight
angle. SO that tho wind blowing
against 1t forces 1t over. 1t Is made
on the same plan as a common wind
mill. The mill is faced toward the
wind. so that the whole force comes
against the surface of the canvas. The
whole mill itself sets upon a sort OF
railroad track" the wheels turning
the structure to the desired point. 1t
is wonderful with what ease these
mills are turned; 1t requires only
slight pressure of wooden stick to
whirl the mill. When II Is set at the
desired angle and all is ready the
fans are unclaimed, and round goes"
the wheel. Inside there is a rumbllng
sound much like that OF distant thun-
der. a speeding freight train or the
whir OF revolving paddle wheel on
side-wheeler steamer. The mill shakes
considerably. and anyone who hap

According 70 a report In the current
New York Medical Journal" Of a recent
meeting of the Eastern Medical Society,
DR.. Abraham jacob one OF New York s
oldest and best known physicians can
bear personal testimony to the effective
ness Of radium as a cure for cancerous
growths.
The society had heard addresses on
"Radium and Roentgen Therapy in Can
cer'' from DR. Howard A. Kelly. Of Bal
timore; DR.. Isaac Levin, DIR. Willy Meyer
and DR.. Francis Carter Wood, Director OF
Cancer Research OF Columbia University,
when. says the Medical Journal" DIR.
Abraham jacob said that personally he
presented an instance OF cure effected
by radium. Seven years ago an eplthe-
Iona appeared upon his nose and for
about two years II gave him great
amount OF worry. He was then subjected
20 radium treatment and prompt cure
resulted. This was accomplished by three
applications-one of three minutes one OF
four minutes and one of seven minutes
at short intervals"
Continuing. the Medical Journal re-
ports that Or. Kelly presented patient
from Missouri a man advanced In years.
who had had an enormous periosteai sar-
coma OF the forehead, which WAS now en-
tirely gone. This gratifying result had
been accomplished b. radium in the short
space of forty-eight hours. There had
been secondary manifestations on the ear
and the jaw. and one of these had disap-
peared with the main growth. OF the
other there was still something left. and
IL might be necessary 10 use radium on

tensive lymphosarcoma of the abdomen
and pelvis, cure had been effected in ten
days"
