Don Quirofe's Mills

There is greater pictMresquenes
but, as usual, accompanied with
less efficiency--in the southern part
of Europe, as, for instance, in Spain
Here, aside from the jib flying mills
OF the Mediterranean, we find primitive
construction, crude devices and even
the clay water bottles, or jars, bound
to cumbrous wheel, slowly turning
over by wind power, for lifting water
for irrigation, similar to devices seen
on the banks of the Nlle-although
there operated by oxen. And in
Spain we tread the country where
the ever immortal Don Quixote, de-
spite the adjurations Of the faithful
Sancho Panzo, charged at full speed
q flock of windmills on the plains OF
Montiel.
"The rude structures Of Greece and
Turkey, already mentioned, are so
crude that often no device is pro-
vided for turning to the wind. but,
on the contrary, four mills are some
times built in field, facing, respec-
lively, north, south, east and west:
so that whichever way the wind
comes some power can be secured.
1t Is, however, more likely that pre-
vaillng winds are so constant from
one quarter there is but little use
for turning device, resulting in its
omission.
And so one can go the world over
and find these old mills; to the Bar
BADGES, where they are still ex-
tensively used-and of English type
for crushing sugar cane; to ia
malca, where they once were: to
Peru, where over 10000 feet above
sea level in the Potosi silver mining
districts of past tinles-centuries
past-old prints show mills Of the
manifest Spanish type operating
stamps for crushing silver ore; to
the st. Lawrence, where the early
settlers, both French and English,
left their imprint in the shape of
old mills on several promontories and
points; TO Southern Illinois, where the
German immigrants of the 1925
and 1905 brought with them the
mills Of the Fatherland, etc. In all
quarters OF the globe the worlds
chief motor for eight centuries can
still be found.
"And in closing this review Of old
windmills there is no instance to
which reference should be made of
quite as much interest as the old
mill at Newport, known TO every
American antiquary, and which some
two or three generations ago was
ingeniously ascribcd to the Morse in
the period of 100 or whereabouts.
This theory, while highly pictur
esque, was unfortunate chiefly in
never having anything except sur
mise to back it up. Not a lot nor
little of record or physical remains
could be developed to substantiate it.
and it has long since been practically
dropped by most students of Ameri-
can history"

ETTERS Of John Eliot and
a bill of lading, which have
recently passed from their

recently passed from their
English owner into the DOS
session Of an American collector,
through Boston dealer, form an
interesting find relative to the earlv
settlers Of New England, says a
writer in "The Boston Transcript"
who proceeds:
These letters and the bill of lading
supply evidence that many an old piece
of furniture which family tradition
says came over in the Mayflower, and
"hlch statement has been received
often with lifting of the eyebrows
may really have been in that historic
ship which brought to the New World
the ideas of religious republic. TO
many family in doubt as to the means
by which their earliest American an
cestors arrived in this country, now
comes the knowledge that they may
claim that their forebears came over
in the Mayhower,' even though their
names do not appear in Governor
Bradford's accurate and authentic list.
1.-THE letters which have just come
to this country were written by John
Eliot, the Apostle to the Indians to
the Rev. Joseph Hammer, of Barn
stable, England. The bill of lading
which accompanied them was for goods
supplied to Eliot through Hammer by
an English friend named Spragot, who
took keen interest in the missionary
work among the Indians. It's historical
Importance lies in the fact that it
shows that the famous ship Mayf1ower
was still engaged, in 1868, in the ship
ping trade with New England, but
under Puritan ownership and with a
Puritan captain"
Thus thirty-three years after the
Mayflower made it's historic land
ing at Plymouth, it was bringing
over goods and possibly passengers
to assist in the building Of new
world-saving empire, as the writer
goes on to show:

Of this section, excepting that their

nearly always has the Turks head

nounced is that that in Lawrence,
Kan, where a mill was erected in
1858. with Swedish top, inquiry de-
veloped that it was by Swedish immi-
grants. Iceland can claim probably
the most northern mill ever erected.
for in Reykiavik, a little isolated
town of about 5000 inhabitants, we
find an old mill. probably the first
and only motor in the early days in
Iceland.

1T is noticeable, too, that the Puri-
tan zeal for books and learning was
strong on both sides Of the water.
Eliot bought books and begged books
for himself and colleague named
Mahon, and the Devonshire churches,
Exeter in particular, contributed the
latest Biblical literature. He expected
his goods to come either from Barn
stable or Bristol, and did not specify
the MayAower, but they could be sent
by any vessel trading in Massachusetts,
Bay or the Newfoundland Banks"
