millions of acres of desert land, but 1T
can be used to produce electric power,
which can be stored away and kept for
future use in lighting the house. cook

supply. Even the weekly washing and
ironing may be done by means OF the
windmill Among other ideas suggest
ed by scientists is the establishment
along all the roads in the country or
electrical windmill storage places
where any one driving a motor car
may stop. drop a coin in the slot, re.
plenish the supply and keep on going.
In fact, the possibilities of this latest

as to make an enumeration OF the
many things for which it may be used
almost mpossible.-London Opinion.

AIDED Ink
BY RUTH GRAHAM
By RUTH GRAHAM

Every one in the little fishing village
of w. knew Jane Baxter and her his
tory. When she was Il girl OF eighteen
q young man named Corwith came
from the city for the purpose of en-
joying what was to the men of the
town work, but to him sport. Jane
Baxter was a pretty girl with a rosy
cheek and a laughing eye. Corwith
found less pleasure in fishing than in
her company.
Before he left W., Corwith had mar
ried Jane Baxter. He took her away
with him. but in few months she re-
turned "a changed girl. The bloom had
gone out of her cheek. the sparkle from
her eye. the smile from her lips. She
said that her husband had quarreled
with her and told her that tSeir mar
rage was no marriage at all and il she
didn't believe him to look at her mar
riage certificate. She did so and found
all those parts that should have been
filed in with ink were wanting. :
She was not only astoniShed, but APP
palled. She had been handed the GER
tficate after the ceremony by the
clergyman who had married her. had
glanced at it and seen that ii had been
filled in. Could it be that her husband
had stolen the original and left sub
stitute? 1t made no difference to her
what he had done since he now repu-
dated her. Without q word she went
sumed her maiden name and lived as
a woman whose life had been blighted.
By doing this she gave up any chances
that might have existed of proving that
she had been legally married. This
was doubly unfortunate. for after her
return she gave birth to q son, whose
interests in the matter were Identical
with hers. He grew up under the
name of Baxter and with a stain rest
ing upon him that the boy realized at
an early age.
From his birth his grandfather. the
fisherman. John Baxter. for whom be
was named. took the little chap into
his heart and resolved to do all in his
power to give him an education. SO
the old man worked hard and saved
much of what he earned and the lad
was sent to school He developed a
taste for the sciences. and it was de-
termined to send him to the scientific
department of university.
When he came home after being
graduated. while talking with his
mother about his and her future, she
thought it best to tell him the story
of her marriage. which was on her

Presidents and Their Messages.

The custom of presidents of the
United States reading their messages
to congress prevailed mp to the first
term of Thomas jefferson, who discon-
tinued it, Various explanations for
.Iefferson's departure from the custom
of Washington and John Adams have
been advanced. the most popular being
that jefferson felt that it savored OF
royalty. seeing that the king of Eng
land went in person to parliament and
read his address from the throne. An
other explanation was that Jefferson's
voice was notably weak. jefferson
himself said in making the achange Il
have had principal regard to the con-
venience of the legislature in the econ
omy of time to their relief from the
