GOT IDEA FOR WATER WHEEL
World Greatly Indebted to Humble
Cow and Mans Quick Percep-
ton for the Turbine,

The huge hydro electric power de-
velopment now reaching every part
of the world owes its origin to a
homely incident which took place in
California many years ago, in which
an early day miner and his COW
were the chief factors.
History and legend relate that on
hot day In the summer of 1850 a
typical placer miner of that period
toiled on his claim. To supply water
for washing the gold-bearing gravel
he had provided a long length Of or
binary hose, and as the fall above
was considerable the water gushed
from the hose with decided force. Az
the sun sank the COW came to the
workings to Stake her thirst. and was
in danger of upsetting some of the
sluices and other devices of the
placer miner. So the man turned the
hose on the COW. By chance the water
blast struck the COW in her cup-llke
nostrils, throwing her head back
sharply.
The man was Lester A. Pelton, ont
from Ohio on Il mining venture, and
later world famous as the inventor
OF the Pelton water wheel, the de-
vice which forms the basis of the
great turbines which transform water
Into electric energy.
Peiton said many times that the
Idea of the invention came to him
when he saw the effect of the water
blast coming in contact with the cows
nose. Within an hour he was rigging
up wagon wheel with empty cans
tied TO the rim and was able to prove
the value of what was later to be his
great invention.

Memory Of Lower Animals

Elephants and apes have often sur

trainers that elephants and tigers
never forget an injury; that they may
