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-
velopnent now reaching every part
Of the world owes its origin to
homely incident which took place in
California many years ago, in which
on early day miner and his COW
were the chief factors.
History and legend relate that Oh
q hot doy In the summer Of 1860 2
typical placer miner Of that period
toIed on his claim, To supply water
for washing the eold-bearing gravel
he had provided long length Of or
binary hose, and as the fall above
was considerable the water gushed
from the hose with decided force. A.
the sun sank the COW came to the
workings to slake 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-like
nostr!ls. throwing her head back
sharply.
The man was Lester A. Pelton, out
from Ohio on mining venture, and
later world famous IS the inventor
Of the Pelton water wheel, the de
vice which forms the basis Of the
great turbines which transform water
into electric energy.
Pelton said many times that the
idea Of the invention came to him
when he SOW 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.
