Wind-DriXen Dynamos

An account was recently given in hgenioren by MT. H. c. Vogt of some experience of the utilization of wind power for driving dynamos. The mills described had sails 100 feet in diam- eter and an area of 3,93O square feet. With mean wind velocity of 24 feet per second 29O horse power was ob ta1ned. Power Is transmitted from the main shaft by series of cogwheels with the spokes in tension; rope and chain gearing were found not to an- swer. By means of gearing the speed of the main shaft, 121a revolutions per minute, Is increased to 1,5OO revolu- tions per minute for the dynamo.-Sci- entific American.

Keeping . Diary.

Every once in while we read of men who have kept diaries for years and years-since babyhood or longer.
 What weird idea to be locked up In that relentless manner with the past! Only of course they don't really. They say they did, but they lie about it.
 We saw one of these diaries once. Six months of 1t were filled with two entries repeated over and over: Saw May" Did not see May" The last entry was, Married May"
 That was the only sensible diary we ever saw, and we haven't 8 doubt in the world that 1t was all faked up afterward to jolly along May.-Los Angeles Times.

Why Navy Blue.

The blue color so prominent in the
 uniforms of almost all marines is of
 hoary origin. Vegetins, in his fifth
 book on the military affairs of the Ro- mans, traces the origin of this color to the Veneti, an ancient people dwell ing near the coast of Biscay and well versed in seamanship. It was custom ary among them to paint their outgo- ing ships as well as the masts and sails With a blue color; also their soldiers and sailors wore blue uniforms. Ac- cording to our author, the Latin word "Venetus," which was both the name or the color and that of the people, points to its origin. From the Ven eti the custom was adopted by the Ro- mans. Thus the son of Pompeius, af- ter defeating Caesars fleet in a naval battle, wore the navy blue, although entitled to the purple. The Veneti were subdued by Caesar after 6 se- were maritime war in 56 B. c.

Evergreen Window Boxes.

very beautiful outside window box trees of different species of evergreens or cedar trees in a substantial wooden or metal window box. The very small trees of different species of evergreens can be secured at a slight cost, and they will grow in an ordinary soil and It Is wonderful how little attention they require after they are once established. In many places these miniature trees gre found growing among rocks and shale where there is little soil or mOis- ture, and this is why they do so we'll in outside window boxes where it is difficult to give them much attention. Large vases and boxes on the veranda or lawn can be filled with these ever. greens and they will remain beautiful throughout the entire winter when it is almost impossible to have anything of beauty growing.

THINGS ON WHICH
 ALL CAN SAVE.
Wise Spending the General Basis
 for Economy.

No one can lay down rule of
 saving which will be effective for
 other people," says Mrs. F. l.. Higgin
 son, New England District Savings
 n1rector' Every one has to settle for
 hlmse1 the question of personal econ. omy. A general basis is wise spend.
 Ing, avoidance of waste, intelligent saving, safe investment As the Brit lsn wisely put it, begin to save at the point where you have supplied vour. selI With everything needed for eff. ciency The best single suggestion lhat the Savings Division, or anyone else' can make to the individual ia to give a little time to considerinp yb,t ne would do if his income were sud. denly reduced by fixed amount TO answer thls, he would have to con. slder where he could economize if ho had to save.
 If all of us took care navar to waste anything and not snend foolish iy' nearly all Of us could probably eff. lec' some saving. Most of us do not thlnk enough before we spend. Think before you buy and you will have more TOT your money This means a greater return for your work and more money left for thought. To quote rom an English authority-'Most of us could reduce our consumption of tood without impairing our health or ehciency. We could travel less often lor pressure or to save ourselves eiouoie' or could obtain equal pleas ure from less expensive trips. We couid walk to our places of business instead or taking tram to go half a n1le' All of which translated into Amer1can phrasing means that the average individual can by logical econ omy purchase additional War Savings stamps and at the same time actually 'dd to his health, personal efficiency md happiness"

THRIFT IN THE SCHOOLS
What One Boston School Is Doing

Since Jan. the pupils of the Quincy School in Boston, Frederick w. Swan. master, have invested about s17OO in Thrift and War Savings Stamps. aver aging about $2 per capita. In itself this may not seem a great deal but the fact becomes significant when it Is known that probably not one of the pupils Is of American parentage. Some 20 odd nattonalities are repre- sented in the school, and one whole class of non-English speaking pupils Is made up of Chinese. All are whole heartedly for America, and most of them work for the money they put in- to stamps, both as an investment and az patriotic duty to the country that stands wildly in their minds as the land of justice and opportunity.

Old Roman Plumbers.

There were plumbers in ancient Rome, and they knew their business well. The great baths (most impor- tant and extensive of all the public buildings) were supplied with water by elaborate piping systems. Along the principal streets ran lines of tall pillars of light construction, carrying pipes through which running water was supplied to the dwellings on ei- ther side.
 When the ancestors of the present day Germans had destroyed Rome, and with 1t the Roman civilization, the plumbing art was lost. It stayed lost until within recent years, and now we are reviving 1t with some strictly mod ern Improvements.
