1t was about the middle of the last
century that the American windmill
drove the old style Dutch mill COM
pletely out of business. both in this
country as we'll as in all the other
countries of the world. Now, how
ever good, the Dutch windmill has
indeed come into its own, and that,
too, right here In the United States OF
America, where, a hundred years or
80 ago, was invented a mill that out
rivaled every other Of its kind in ex.
istence.
The giant Dutch windmill, the
largest windmill in the world, has re-
Gently been completed in Golden Gate
park, San Francisco. And not ex-
cepting those in Holland, the home of
the windmill, there is not another of
its size anywhere. This mill cost s25,.
600, and 1t is the gift of the leading
citizens Of San Francisco. It stands

a radium of 81 feet. In a 30-mile
breeze 1t will pump 10000 gallons of
water an hour. through a 12.inch pipe
line which carries to a distance Of two
miles, being 200 feet in height.

LOST PIN MYSTERY

One Of the mysteries OF the world Is
certainly the pin. In astounding guam
titles they pour from numerous factor.
les, principally in Birmingham. One
mill alone is credited with turning out
nearly 10, 900. 900 pins a day, and no
one has ever attempted the calculation
of the worlds, output. A pin is q thing
which. in the ordinary way, would last
for years, and 1t is a problem to ac-
count for the necessity for making
such enormous quantities.
The explanation is undoubtedly that
pins are so cheap that everyone
throws away or loses them as fast as
they use them. Thousands and thou
sands Of them enter the sewers of
our towns, and solid masses are often
found where innumerable examples of
these tiny articles have become weld
ed together in their passage through
the sewers.
The output Of a pin factory includes
dozens Of different sizes, from the
tiny pins used by %naturalists, only
a quarter of an inch long, and as fine
as a hair. to giant blanket pins four
inches in length. and nearly as thick
a wire nail.
Hairpins are another example of
useful articles made to be lost; they
follow the fate Of the commo pin,
and descend in a continual shower on
the paths. and floors of every civil
lied country. Says the Star: One
o%bservant visitor calculated from care
full Examination that en- an ordinary day
there were over 1000 h~airpins lying On
Parade" All pins are
made by automatic machines, which
complete the Transformation from
wire in a single operation.

The feats of professional runners
seem insignificant when compared
with the regular performances Of an
East Indian caste. These kahars. who
are also known as JhinwaTb. live IN
the Punjab. where for centuries they
have acted not only as runners. but
as fishermen and as water fowl catch
ers. These men are said to be able
TO accomplish 100 miles a day without
resting. There Is said to be a well
authenticated instance wherein one
Tika Ram carried dispatches 900
miles in three days. from Mean-Mir to
Merut. says Harper's Weekly. 1t is
further said that so far from shorten
ing their lives, these performances
really eonduce to longevity in the Ka.

to Withstand the strain of covering

THE GRANARY OF
NORTH AMERICA"
GOVERNOR sulzER SAYS THAT
OF WESTERN CANADA.

The close ties Of friendship exist
Ing between the United States and
Canada were dwelt upon in addresses
by Premier Robert L. Borden, Of Can
ada, and Governor Sulzer. at the an
nual dinner Of the University Club Of
Albany.
Canada and the United States"
said Premier Borden, have o common
heritage In the language, the litera-
ture. the laws, the institutions and the
traditions which have come down to
them from the men OF bygone days.
Perhaps no more instructive object
lesson ever has been given to the
world than the four thousand miles Of
unattended boundary line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. which bears
silent but eloquent testimony to the
mutual confidence and respect OF the
two nations. Time win shortly place
upon the brow of each nation the lau-
rel OF one hundred years OF peace. It
matters not SO much as to the form
Of the outward celebration, but let US
hope that its full significance may
sink deep into the hearts of both ma
tons, and that, whether north or south
OF the boundary, we may stand with
boS7ed and reverent heads, offering
grateful thanks for the Divine blessing
Of peace, and earnest prayers that In
the century to come. mutual confidence,
goodwill and respect may truly ami
mate the ideals and aspirations Of both
nations"
Referring to the natural resources
possessed by the United States and
Canada, particularly along the st.
Lawrence River, the premier urged
that they be preserved and developed
for the people,"
Governor Sulzer predicted that the
Great Canadian Northwest is designed
to become, before long, the granary Of
North America"
Many of our best citizens, I regret
to say" said the governor, ARE leav.
ing the States Of the west and going
into the Canadian northwest, because
of the fertility Of its soil, the lib
erality Of the Canadian government
and the ability of those people TO bet
ter their conditions here.
I'VE should extend to them a help
ing hand in their onward march Of
progress. Instead Of closing BUR doors
by tariff barriers against these coun-
tries and their products, in my opinion,
we should open them wider and do
everything IN our power to facilitate
closer commercial relations. We want
their products and they want our prod
ucts, and all restrictions to prevent q
fairer and freer exchange of goods,
wares and merchandise should, in so
far as possible, be eliminated."-Ad-

CYCLE OF THE RAINDROP

MuMMIEs BY THE MILLION

It has been estimated that some
thing like 20.O00.0 900 Egyptian mum
mics have been discovered. Thou
sands Of those best preserved are now
in the show cases Of the various mu-
seums of the world. In the tombsI
with the mummies. were countless 9TH
er objects. There were painting on
the walls, chairs and tables, jars con-
tanning the parts of the body which
were removed when the mummy was
prepared. mummy cases gaudily col
ored with funeral n and hero
glyphic inscriptions, and In the cases
along with the mummies were papyri..
Beneath each mummy's head, like a
cushion, a a little disk of clay or
papyrus. covered with neurological
pictures and with a stereotyped hymn.
The disks, found in great numbers,
are nearly alike, varying only slightly
with the period from which they come.
"Hypocephali" they are called, because
they were placed beneath the head.
Like the mummies, the objects found
with them have been scattered
abroad, and in the museum at Cairo
any tourist may purchase as many OF
them as he will.
The inscriptions on the disks and
the, mummy cases, of course, could
not at first be read, nor could the
NEUROLOGICAL pictures accompanying
them be understood until the inscrip-
tons could be read. However, in 1893
the famous Rosetta Stone was discov-
cred, and Champollion, a French
d%ecipering its hieroglyphic inscription
with the aid of the accompanying
Greek translation. The process was
so slow that 1t was not till 1841 that a
grammar Of the Egyptian language
appeared. Then the progress in the
study of the language was rapid; the
strange hieroglyphics became as intel.
as an English newspaper.

The Lonoke Democrat has the fol-
lowing complimentary mention of the
Arkansas Teacher and Prof. J. j.
Doyne:
A new magazine, named The Ar
kansas Teacher has been started at
Conway. of which Prof. ]. j, Doyne
will be the guiding genius. The is
sues we have seen are full of articles
of good merit We know that this pc
riodical has not been projected for pri-
waite gain; its inspiration is an inter
est in humanity. We know of no one
better equipped than Prof. Doyne to
conduct an undertaking of the kind.
He is man of much learning and has
the fine art of imparting what he
knows so that the hearer or reader
can get the idea. He knows the needs
of Arkansas and can help Arkansas
teachers perhaps better than any man
in the state. We notice one fact,
which we commend, an absence of the
earmarks of the sycophant and pc
dant.

MISTAKE IN RESPITE
MAY CHEAT CALLOWS

Little Rock, Feb. Through a
mistake in the issuing of respite,
the jefferson county murderer may
escape the gallows, even should he
recover from his present state of in
sanity One of the last official acts of
Gov. Donaghey was to grant a six
months respite to Alexander, which
fixed the date of his execution ut June
q, but instead of dating the respite
ahead it bears the date of June 27,
1912, six months prior to the tine the
respite was issued.
Alexander is cVnfned in the peni-
Tertiary hospital. He has not spoken
for over year, and takes nourish-
ment only when it IS. forced down his
throat by physicians. He is under
sentence of death for the killing of j.
P. Kelley in a Pine Bluff saloon. He
killed several people prior to that
time. 1t was on account of the insane
condition of Alexander that he was
not hanged nearly a year ago. Two
long respites have been granted in or
der that he would have an opportuni-
ty to improve or die before the date
of execution.

angel has claimed our dear brother, G.
w. Ford, who passed from this life
January 2, 1913. He was born Sep
TENDER /, 1884, in Georgia.
Resolved, That we, the members of
the Missionary Baptist church at
Pleasant Valley, Wooster, Ark, ex-
tend our heartfelt sympathy to the be-
reaved relatives. But we still cherish
the hope of meeting him in heaven,
where pain and death is felt no more.
Brother Ford was pastor of our
church Is years He was devoted
Christian and strong preacher in
the Missionary Baptist faith. He is
gone, but his memory is still in the
hearts of all who knew him. ITO live
in hearts we leave behind is not to
die
Brother Ford was afflicted with
pneumonia, and after a short illness
died at his home in Oklahoma. He
bore it with patience and looked up in
faith to God and blessed his name for
the hope he had given him through
the sacrifice of his own Son.
"Life is filled with many trouble,
But hope sees a star beyond the
grave;
Life is short, even though it was
doubled,
But God gives a life beyond the
grave"
