the man continued his way south, and
that the woman went back to the

very measre indeed to work on.
1t was suggested that perhaps It

there are no footprints leading 70 the

minds of some Of the people who
worked on the case yesterday that tho
woman for some reason or other
threw herself on the bridge into

on their part.
The fact that no notes ware found
in the suit case might discredtt this
theory. On the other hand. It was
learned today that she sent her little

Up until this afternoon nothing had
been heard that could throw any
more light on the subject. All pos

green foliage. 1t is not known exactly
when this mill was built; it is sup
posed, however, that it was during the
latter part Of the Seventeenth century.
and some are of the opinion that one
of the Cape's fishermen made it as
early as 1850 to pump water into his
salt watts. It is known for a certainty
that there were a great many salt
works in the town of Yarmouthport
and the neighboring villages of North
and East Dennis.
The salt works which were doing
business on the Cape 40 or so years
ago, each covered many acres Of
ground. The mills were erected near
the ocean, where sea water was OBJ
tainable. The mills pumped the water
up into troughs, whence it ran into
watts" or wooden pans about II feet
square. Not more than four or five
inches of water was allowed in a vat
The sun evaporated the water, leaving
the salt on the boards which were
afterward carefully scraped on and
the salt canned This was a very
slow and expensive process About
this time a new process was found
by which the salt was made much
more rapidly and at small cost, and it
was shipped into this country from
foreign points and could be sold at
half the price ofthe native product.
So the old salt works and mills
were torn down and sold.
A few of the mills from the salt
making plants were transferred to
cranberry boys, where the cranberry
cultivators used them to run their
pumps for flooding their boys to de-
stroy insects, moisten the earth in dry
weather and ward on frosts. The
pumps" of those years were very
crude affairs. They worked on the
principle of q grain elevator, that is,
a continuous chain running over a
wheel overhead. At intervals of sew
eraI inches on the chains were fas-
tened cups" Termed from narrow
strips Of board. The pumps drew very
little more water than could be bailed
up with buckets The mill was con-
nected with the pump by means of
numerous cog wheels of various, sizes.

QUAINT OLD RELICS
Ancient Windmills Make Cape
Cod Resemble Holland.
Odd Structures Nearly All Gone But
Those That Remain Are Greatly
Priced as CuriosIties and Adorn
the Estates of Many.

BOSTON, half century ago the
windmills Of Cape Cod were as nu-
merous as those in Holland. They
were used extensively in the salt
manufacturing plants. an industry
which was the right arm of Massa-
chusetts". until q new process Of
manufacture was discovered and the
salt was imported at such a low cost
that the Cape manufacturers were
forced out Of business. The windmills
were also used in the grinding OF the
grain, and in not a few cases the
powerful mill wheels were harnessed
to crude pumps to food cranberry
boys.
In due course of time, however,
practically all Of these odd mills were
torn down. moved away as relics or
left to decay on their foundations.
Those that remain today are greatly
priced as curiosities, and they adorn
the handsome estates owned by sum-
mer visitors from all parts OF the
country. The towns which still have
old windmills left enter into negotia-
tons with rich landowners, and offer
their relic for sale. These mills, by
the way, are constantly changing
hands. and it is said that each time
they are sold they bring higher sum
These towns each have one of the old
time relics within their borders:
Harwichport, Chatham, Yarmouthport
Dennis. Brewster and Nantucket
island The Nantucket structure,
built in the year 1746, and which Is
as quaint and interesting as the island
itself, still turns to the amusement of
permanent residents and hundreds Of
summer Yacationists alike. In nearly
every case the mill stands out promi-
nently from the high hill on which it
is located, a thing of beauty which
may be seen from nearly any section
Of the village.
The Cape Cod windmills, like those
of Holland, are awkward, box-like
structures, set on posts. They are
about 25 feet in height; some are
hexagonal, while a few were built
exactly round. So far as is known.
none were made square, as there
would have been too great surface
exposed to the winds
The oldest mill of all is located at

south side OF Cape Cod, midway be-
tween the Tip end Of the Cape" and

Valuable Land in Eaxpt.

The presence in this country of Sir
William Willcocks, of Assouan dam
fame, and now engaged on the flood
control of the Tigris-Euphrates river,
is an event of more than ordinary sig
nificance, because of its bearing upon
the question of the control of flood
water, says the Wall Street Journal.
The Nile valley irrigation works, &C
cording to Sir William, has enabled
100000 people to live on 100000
acres. Land, he says, in the vicinity
of the Assouan dam is worth from
$3.50 to 81 900 an acre, and they raise
five hundredweight of cotton on it,
which is worth $780, His view of our
methods OF controlling the Mississippi
is of much value because of his ex-
perience in Asia and Africa No for
eignor has more studiously read the
reports of our river and harbor engi-
neers. His main suggestions are that
the leVees be made wider and that
relief channels be provided to mitigate
the strain when waters at their maxi
mum might be carried of as a means
of safety.
