I If the world lighter. The romance
is recorded thus In the Sacramento
Bee:
Few people realize that the
huge hydro-e electric power devel-
opments now reaching every part
ofthe world owe their origin to a
homely incident which took place
in Nevada county now more than
sixty years ago, in which an early
day miner and his COW were the
chief factors.
History and legend relate that
on a hot day in the summer Of
1850 a typical placer miner OF
that period toiled on his claim
lear North Bloomfield. To sup
ply water for washing the gold
bearing gravel he had provided q
long length Of ordinary hose, and
as the fall above was considerable
the water gushed from the hose
with decided fore. AS the sun
sank the COW came to the work
ings 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 bovine
in her cuplike nostrils, throwing
her head back sharply.
The man was Lester A. Pelton,
out from Ohio on mining ven
ture, and later ~urld famous as
the inventor of the Pelton water
wheel, the device which forms the
basis of the great turbines which
transform water into electric en-
ergy.
Pelton stated 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
nour he was rigging up a wagon
wheel with empty cans tied to the
IlIu anu Wdb dblO " PtONS ShN
value of what was later to be his
great invention.
While still working his claim,
Pelton built a complete model.
Success came slowly. for 1t was
not until 1885 that the machine
was exhibited in San Francisco
and capital interested in its man
ufacture for commercial use.
The primary idea Of the inVen-
tor and early manufacturers was
TO furnish cheaper power for the
California mines, and the first
mine to adopt the device was the
Idaho Maryland Of the Grass Val
ley district. At great expense
water was brought from the high
er attitudes, and the perfected
wheel installed under the direc-
tion of the Coleman brothers, and
the Inauguration of the new pow
er was made a gala event in Grass
Valley.
1t has been suggested that the
birthplace of the mighty turbine
should be appropriately marked,
but no one seems to know the ex-
act location of Pelton's old claim.

Sunday With John Storm.

AS Kitty and l motored to John
Storms church in the early morn-
ing we wound through a country
of surprising beauty.
The purple hills and snow
capped mountain tops were gold
tinged here and there by the on
ward-marching orb Of day which
broke through the mist and dis
persed it as softly and sWeetly as
the bridegroom lifts the veil from
the face of his bride. The whole
earth smiled as though 1t had
been gently kissed.
The air that morning was so
like April in Virginia that 1T made

each others faces.
Isn't it lovely?" she whisper

"It is glorious, Kitty. 1 wonder
if you will believe me when I tell
you that the annoyances, the sor-
rows and even the hurts help to
make it so.
ooh, know! 1 know, Virgie!
And to realize IR1s early is the
greatest blessing that can come to-
a young woman-especially one
has her own way to make in this
world"
We nestled more closely to-
gether in the wide tonneau. Kit
ty's arms closed round my waist as
she cuddled up close to me, while
through the morning light We two
girls engrossed, each in her own
thoughts, rode along the beauti-
full highway. There was scent
of orange blossoms in the air.

both think of love and marriage.
Again and again We passed the
bells standing stark along
the road bearing their old Spanish
legend eel Camino Real--The
Kings Highway"

music, some other bell in the dis
