ON NEW PRINCIPLE
Windmill That Is Not at the
Mercy of the Wind.
Diagram Shows the Working Of the
PIan-compiete Machine Can Be
Placed In Position at Small
cost--HIgh Power Made.

When the wind strikes surface in
clined at an angle to the direction of
the wind the latter tends to displace
the surface in a direction that de-
ponds upon the degree of inclination.
Upon this well-known principle sail
boats, windmills and aeroplanes are
built. When the wind comes in
Numerically opposite direction-that
is to say, strikes the surface on the
other side-it tends to displace it in
the opposite direction. 1t would
seem, then, to be impossible so to
place a surface that 1t shall always
move in the same direction, no matter
whence the wind that moves it comes.
A French windmill maker has, how
ever succeeded in solving this appa-
rent paradox, and his device is de-
scribed in detail by R. Villers in La
Nature. He makes a horizontal wind
mill with perpendicular vanes and
axis revolved by the vanes without
gearing
The wind Is utilized going and COM
ing" When the vanes are properly
inclined the power produced by this
strange windmill is quite high, and the
wind that reaches nine-tenths of the
wheels diameter is set to work, no
matter from what direction it is blow
ing.
The firm that is making these mills
delivers one, complete, in France, with
mounting. pipes, pump, etc, for 600
francs, or about $120.
The wheel may be raised or lowered
on its axle by pulleys, and the upper
socket is self-lubricated from a COW
cred tank of oil at the very top.
The turning wheel operates abe
pumps through an eccentric at the
bottom of the mast This eccentric is
a most ingenious but simple device
for regulating the speed of the pump
according to the strength of the

All plants are electric batteries.
Some are weak, others are strong.
According to Royal Dixon, author of
THE Human Side of Plants who has
an entertaining article in the Edison
Monthly on the extraordinary electric
qualities of plants, the strongest is the
well-known sensitive plant (Mimosa
pudica), but the iris, nicotina, nastur-
tium and practically all the meat-eat-
ing plants produce current of from
0O5 to O2 volt, which can be meas

who heard his dog cry out as If in

ropelike tissue of roots and flbers."
He cut the fieshy fibers of the mag.

An archaeological discovery of con-
siderable interest has just been made
at Stirling castle, Edinburgh, Scot
land. For some time workmen have
been engaged In excavating the up
per square and causewaying 1t with
whinstone. In the course of the op-
erations they came across certain
well-defined foundations, which SO far
as can be ascertained. were not known
to the present generation. The re-
mains are directly in front Of the por-
tion known as the Chapel Royal
(which has long been used as an ar
mory), and they take the form OF two
lines of stones, each line being about
three feet In width. Nothing has been
done to destroy the remains, the pc
sitions of which have been indicated
by the linear arrangement Of the sets
above them. Several local archeolo-
gists express the opinion that the two
lines Of stones form part Of the
foundations of the original Chapel
Royal. supposed to have been founded

"Hows the Wind. ssraeant2v

Every British soldier at the front
Is said to have become a close OBJ
server Of the wind since the Germans
began the use of gas; If it veers to
the north and east it is an almost GER

or "muzzles," as the soldiers call
them, are declared to give little pro-

In a Name.

War which transforms noble cathe-
drals into shapeless masses of broken
stone, which spoils the farmers in
nocent fields with trenches full of
burrowing human beings bent on
blowing each other to pieces. which
turns kings palaces into barracks and
gentlemen's country houses into hos
pitfalls, makes its own uses also of
places dedicated In time of peace to
the amusement of the populace. For
instance, 1t was in a certain town
in the Auvergne that number of
German prisoners were lodged in the
hippodrome or circus. Some care was
taken to make things as comfortable
as possible for the involuntary in
mates, but the persons in charge re-
fused to remove a sign-thoughtfully
put up the previous year by humane
society. The sign said: BE good

PURITY OF JUDICIAL ERMINE
Termed as Rabbit Skin by Redoubt-

Prisoner at Bodmln Assizes.

At Bodmin assizes once. barrister,
while pleading, was interrupted by the
Judge:
'Mr Carter, you are wasting the
time of the court"
Time of the COURT" rctorted the
truculent veteran, glazing fiercely at
the bench your lordship means
your lordship's dinner"
The judge threw UP his hands in
despair, and Carter continued his
harangue in peace.
The same redoubtable advocate was
on another occasion defending a man
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses.
False pretenses," said he, with
fine scorn. why, we all make them
every day, barristers and solicitors
and judges-the whole lot of us. Talk
about the purity of the judicial err
mine!" Here he pointed derisively to
the learned judge, who sat covering
on the bench. why, it's only rabbit
skim"
Shouts of laughter greeted this ir-
reverent statement, which investiga-
ton would probably show to be literal
