homely incident which Io26 lace in
California many years as, IN which
an early day miner and his COW
were the chief factors.
History and legend relate that on
hot day i'll the summer OF 1860 q
typical placer miner Of that period
toiled on his claim. To supply water
for washing the gold-bearins gravel
he had provided q long length OF or
dinary hose, and as the fall above
was considerable the water gushed
from the hose with decided force AS
the sun sank the COW came TO the
workings to siake her thirst, ana 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
nostrils, throwing her head back
sharply.
The man was Lester 4. Pelton, out
from Ohio on mining v.nture, and
later world famous as the inventor
of the Peltoa 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 bin
when he saw the effect OF the Wa,e,
blast coming in contact with the COW ;
nose. Within IN hour he was riggi.g
up q wagon wheel with empty cars
tied to the rim and was able to prove
the value Of what was later to be his
great invention.

MONSTERS OF DISTANT PAST
Proof That Sirds Capable of Lifting
ID Carrying Off Fuil-Grown
Men Once Existed.

Recent scientific discoveries in varl-
Gus parts of the world 60 10 prove that
in times long gone by there were birds
big enough TO lift man into ihe air
without difficulty, observes London
Tit-Bits writer.
1t is well known that an eagle with
q 6ve-feet spread OF wings car lifi a
lamb weighing ten pounds, and that
bird can generally lift one-half more
than its own weight. Many of the
enormous birds Of ancient times
weighed many hundreds of pounds.
and some of them had a spread of
wings which would cover a present
day street car.
There once lived in the Rocky noun
tains of America race of parrots
seven feet high. One nearly complete
skeleton of this remarkable species
has been preserved, and fragments of
others have recently been dug UP.
These parrots are supposed TO have
trodden the earth about 100000
years ago.
Another amazing creature was a
running bird of prey of the heron fam
lily. 1t had head larger than that Of
horse, With huge sharp beak, and
was eight feet high. Like the parrot,
it could not fly TO any height, as its
wings were not large enough to sup
port it.
In the island of Madagascar there
used to be an enormous bird called
the aepyornis. This creature was ten
feet high and laid eggs thiytec2 inches
long and three feet in circumference.
1t is supposed to have become extinct
only little more than a century ago.
Although the aepyOrnis must have
been sufficiently awe-inspiring sight,
the giant mOa" Of New Zealand,
which stood II feet high and weighed
at least half ton, must have been
even more So.

Dear General:
Much worry .Hd expenditure OF
! time and effort have resulted from
the failure heretofore to publish no
tice at cur reunion OF the location CT
headquarters and business Offices OF
the veteran force and Of the several
armies and divisions composing il.
In many instances persons have failed
to find the Offices or officers sought
by them and in many more instances
the search for an Office or officer has
cost much trouble and time.
The annoyance can be prevented
in great measure, if not wholly, by
the publication in newspapers two
weeks or more before a reunion OF a
Inot;ce stating the street and number
or square where general headquar-
ters and headquarters of armies and
divisions and headquarters of each
state vii! be located or such notice
mkht be given by handbills sent to
division headquarters for distribu-
ton. I respectfully suggesv that you
cause such action to be taken in con-
Inection with the reunion to be held
at Richmond in June.
Very respectfully yours,
