First Use Of Water for Power.

Obviously the first use Of water for
mechanical purposes involved leading
the water from a stream or other source
for use at another place. One of the
primitive devices for raising water from
a stream was the noria, which consisted
OF large upright frame work like a
wheel, placed so that the flow Of the cur
rent turned IL on its axis. To the peri
phery Of the wheel were attached hinged
buckets, which were often earthen Jars
tied on the frame. and which were partly
filled as they dipped inithe stream and
upon being carried 10 the top were emp
tied by tripping device into a trough
which led the water away on the higher
level.
Later Archimedes developed has screw,
which consisted Of coil OF pipe about a
cylinder, set a considerable angle from
the vertical. To run this a water wheel
or turbine was necessary. theoretically
water could be raised 10 any height in
this manner, but practically it required
too much power, the gearing of wheels
complicated the work, and there were
other objections. The hydraulic ram
was more efficient and more practical
. and the principle has been widely applied

he has made the great discovery he is
looked upon as candidate for the
booby-hatch. But the hydrautomat is
perpetual motion, IT is said, IN so far as
II will continue 10 operate as long as the
flow Of water continues and the machine
holds together.
Moreover, il will work efficiently when
the flow of water is so slight that it could
not be utilized in any other way. Also it
may be constructed on a small scale
adaptable TO the requirements Of a
farmer who would use il on a small
creek to raise water for irrigating pur-
poses and TO develop power to run his
machinery and lighting plant, or il
may be built on q scale sufficiently large
TO furnish the water supply for large
city.

COL. c. B. NOLAN

Anaconda Standard: To say that
n of the foremost and most illus
trious members of the bar of Montana
passed out, is but inadequately to re-
fer to the death of Col. C. B. Nolan.
Learned he was in his profession and
successful in its practice, but it was
for those traits of the candid human
tinguish the man rather than the prac-
titioner that he will be remembered.
Quick and ready in debate, his words
illuminated with a keen Irish wit, his
speech remarkable for the soft mel
lifluous brogue, Colonel Nolan was one
of Montana's quaint and individualistic
types. No tongue %swordsman was he.
His was the flash of the rapier rather
than the sting of the poisoned arrow;
indeed he was one of the first to bind
up a wound. Immaculate in his sense
of personal as we'll as professional
honor, valuing his word with the jeal-
ousy of the old-time gentleman, he
came to be loved as well as respected
by all who knew him and his ac-
quaintance extended around the state
and back to the days of the territory.
The closing days of his career were
devoted to the defense of a lifelong
friend in whose integrity he believed
and for the establishment Of which
he drew upon a narrow reserve of
physical and v energy. Many a
story is told of this fine, kindly, old
Montanan-all Of them contributing
to his reputation for sparkling repair
tee and pat anecdote. In none of them
is there a trace of malice or ill-will.
Game and accomplishing, he faced
death with the consciousness of one
who, having served faithfully and well,
steps forth into the darkness unafraid.

A NEW FORM OF ROLLER
COASTER SPORT AT BUTTE

What began as a bit of boyish fun
developed into a near tragedy and
ended as a comedy at Butte Tuesday
when a small Butte lad took a wild
ride down a steep hill in an old auto
mobile tire. The chief actor, however,
did not see any fun in the climax.
Boys in and around Butte have al
ways taken kindly to abandoned auto
mobile tires. Rolling them down hill
is the most common form of amuse-
ment.
One little fellow conceived the idea
"a real circus idea-for a novel stunt
with a big tire which came into po-
session of himself and other boys. 1t
was a big stiff tire, one of the kind
used on the rear wheels Of heavy
trucks. He got inside hte tire, braced
his head and shoulders and feet
against the inside, and gave the word:
"Turn her loose"
And they turned her loose.
Starting off gnetly at first amid
the cheer of his companions, it was
very exhilarating this first head up,
then head down. Then the speed be-
came accelerated, and soon it was i'm
possible to distinguish rubber tire

from small boy, so rapid were the rev.
olutions.
1t was here that the near-tragedy
started. The other parties to the sport
were unable to keep up with the tire
and it's human freight. They were
outdistanced, totally outclassed. The
combination was going down grade
over a smooth pavement straight to-
ward the cemetery. The kids left out
of the ace began to scent the coming
disaster.
Their shouts attracted the attention
of a larger lad who was close to the
path Of the moving mass. He got in
the way, gave it a kick, and caused il
to swerve from it's course to a side
street.
Over the sidewalk of a vacant LOT
went the tire and the boy. On that
lot there was a fairly deep depression
which recent rains had turned into g
small pond.
Plump into that pond went tire anC
boy. They made an awful splash anc
not only dashed the water into foam
but stirred up the mud. 1t was the
mud as much as anything else that
stopped the wild journey.
The small boy was soon dug out
practically breatless. But with the us.
ual small boy vitality he was soon able
to stand up and start off with his
COMPANIONS. He was a wiser and
dirtier boy.

tie, with the result that he had ten
ribs and his collar bone broken.
Father Hennessy, accompanied by
Father Dillon Of Scobey, was enroute
to Glendive where they were to catch
a train for Roundup where Father
Hennessy has a brother who is also a
priest and who was about to leave
for the old home in Ireland. About
two miles out of Sidney the road
makes a quick turn about a very steep
hill and in making the turn they met
a lady with several small children
travelling by buggy. In endeavoring to

Bolivia and Peru, of their maritime
provinces, rich in nitrates and other
wise valuable. While Peru suffered
territorial mutation and heavy
losses, she remained in possession of
a coastline approximating 1900
miles in length; while Chile x
tended hers to nearly 5000 miles.
But Bolivia was entirely shut out
from commercial communication
with the outside world except
through Peruvian or Chilean ports
and customs houses. The maritime
province of Antofogasta was taken
from Bolivia and her claims to the
districts of Tacna and africa were
denied by Chile. In those days the
claims of Bolivia to a seafront were
supported by Peru.
To impartial American observers
in Washington it is becoming clear
that the labors of the Conference
will prove a failure and the future
of South America unsettled for
many years, unless Chile modihes
her policy of territorial expansion
by conquest which she introduced
upon American soil and unless
Bolivia is given access to the sea
in harmony with the new canon of
nations that all nations have an un-
deniable right to free and unre-
stricted access to the sea.

TERRIFIC STORM
AT PLENTYWOOD
Heaviest Storm in Years Tears Down
Buildings and Does Much
Damage to Town.

Fleetwood and vicinity was visited
by one of the worst electrical and
wind storms in years last evening. Be-
ginning about $3.50 with a terrific
gust of wind followed by a deluge of
water and hail, the storm continued
on through the night. The hail, some
of the stones being as large as wal
nuts, lasted but a few moments, and
so far no reports Of its having hurt
the crop to any extend have been re-
ceived. The wind and rain, however,
lasted on through the night, and while
the rain came as a godsend, and prac-
tically insures a crop, wind and light
ming played havoc with everything
within their boundaries.
In Plentywood, the P~lentywood
Drug, Amundsen's and Vests each
suffered the loss Of their big plate
glass window fronts. The Chandler
Pool Hall and the Masonic lodge rooms
likewise suffered the loss of one or
more windows. Fred Ibsen's house
was struck by lightning, completed de-
molishing the chimney and following
it down burst the stove in the kitchen
and continued on down into the base
ment, wrecking the laundry stove
there. The Norwegian Lutheran
church likewise was struck by light
ming, wrecking the chimney there and
tearing a hole in the roof. Several
windows also, are among the losses
sustained by the church. The barn To-
Gated at the real Of the residence lot
of Rev. Kjer, was picked up, carried
some thirty or forty feet, and COM
pletely demolished. Henry Barner
likewise lost his barn, the high wind
picking it up and completely demol-
is}::ng it. The school building was
also struck by lightning, tearing off
par5 Of the battlement on the north
si5c, and C. c. Johnson's garage was
relieved of its sides and moved up
against the residence of Father Hen
messy, when the wind, in a violent fit
of anger, pushed it over Forrest Good
mans residence suffered the loss of
a chimney and several windows, and
several small buildings in and about
town were completely demolished.
At the residence of F. G. Fishbeck
both chimneys were blown down, part
of the back shed carried away and
the fence laid low. Several box cars
on the side track in the Great Nor
thern yards took French leave and
have parked themselves somewhere
between P~lentywood and points east.
The only report from the country
territory adjacent to Plentywood came
from Ralph Hair, who lives just north
of the city. The big barn dance billed
there for tomorrow night, with the
Degree of Honor as sponsors, had to
be called off for the reason that MI.
Hairs big barn was completely
wrecked. The wind scattered it all
ove the farm.
No estimate has been placed on the
loss in Plentywood alone, but it will
probably run into thousands of dol

Arms, Chile has Extracted Unto'd
Wealth from These Nitrate Beds.
By George HITLER.
EVERYONE knows that a
n, South American Conference is
- in session in Washington, but
few know what it is about, what its
object is, and still fewer Americans
know what its objective should be.
Since the disaster in Europe, and
the near bankruptcy that prevails
over there, cur trade with South
America has increased by leaps and
bounds. Our trade with the Repub-
lies south of Panama last year
totaled nearly a billion dollars and
we loaned to their governments and
their municipalities more than $780,
OO0, 900. So we have a considerable
stake in those countries. If the
paths of peace and progress are per-
sistently followed down there, we
shall profit by it. If the tension
existing between South American
states lead to larger military ex-
penditures the result will be a great
economic loss.
As we are practically underwrit-
ing South American business and
finance, we would have to shoulder
sooner or later our share of that
loss. One of the latest South Amer
lean loans is that of $33,000,O0O for
Bolivia, just hoated in New York,
the bonds of which are now finding
a ready market above par.
Americans, therefore, have a real
interest in the South American Con-
ference now in progress in WASH
ington. The result of its labors
means sooner or later peace or war
in South America. The most I'M
settling factor today is the loss of
sea frontage suffered by Bolivia as
a result of the war by means of
which Chile deprived her neighbors,
