GOT IDEA FOR WATER WHEEL
World Greatly, Indebted 10 Humble
Cow and Msn'e Quick Psrosp-
tlon for the Turbine.

The huge hydro-electric power de
velopment now reaching every part
Of the world owes Its origin to Q
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
a hot day In the summer OF 1900 q
typical placer miner Of that period
toiled on his claim To supply water
for washing the gold-bearing gravel
he had provided q long length Of or
dinary hose, and a. the fnll abovs
was considerable the water gushsd
from the hose with decided force. Ar
the sun sank the COW came to the
workings to slaks her thirst, and was
In danger Of upsettins some Of the
sluices ard other devices Of the
placer miner. 30 the man turned the
hose on the COW. BY chance the water
blast struck the COW In her cup-l like
nostrils, throwing her head back
sharply.
The man was Lester A. Peiton. out
from Ohio on a mining venture. and
later world famous ss the inventor
or 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 invsntion 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 q 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.

o MINER WAS
SORELY

Knife throwers and sharpshooters
are numerous anecdotes In the Lambs
Club.
There Is a familiar one of the knife
thrower who was assisted in his act
by his elderly, ugly wife. She stood
against a board fence facing her aud
fence while the husband stood twenty
feet away and threw bowie knives at
her. The trick was to escape hitting
her, until at the end of the act the
board was stuck full of bowie knives,
from the midst of which the lady
stepped absolutely unframed.
The act never failed to elicit
shrieks from the ladies of the audi
ence in cities east of the Rockies, but
at the opening performance in Tono-
pah, Nevada. in the days when the
mining population of that city con
tanned no women, knife after knife
was thrown at the lady by her hus-
band and throughout a respectful
silence was maintained by the audi
ence. At the thirtieth throw, how
ever, a voice was heard from the
back of the hall.

WHAT SHOULD DO If I WERE ABOUT TO

read all the time.
Reading now ought to fill in all the
gaps left by earlier book rambles.
Read new books, of course, but be-
tween Is years of age and 25 the book
seller should have swung through hun
dreds of established books from all
ages and countries and in all branches
Of writing. The background for in
formation and judgment must be laid
early.
Study all phases of current book
output, read trade papers and study
reviewing mediums. Study a foreign
language or keep up the one you have
Don't forget, that fiction and other
creative literature are not the only
important uses of print. The book
seller must distribute understandingly
books on science, technology, agricul
ture, religion, economics, cookery and
what not.
There is no trick way to sell books
Know books, convey your aenthusiasms

!, Save money in order to be part OF
the esta blished firm or owner of a new
enterprise. No retail field offers to-
day better chances for expansion. New
bookshops are needed, many cities are
unprovided with intelligent book serv'
ice. The bookseller of tomorrow will
be accepted as one of the upbuildins
forces in the community. AS such he
will find a competence for his family

WORLD BANKING

The Genoa economic conference failed because
Russian politics obscured economics It is now
strangely said that changed conditions" are un-
proptious for the meeting Of the central bankers
which was to follow the Genoa conference The
conditions have changed only by not changing.
America may yet raise standard of non-political
banking to which all will rally who agree with U.S.
The need is great. An American banker cabled
to the United States Chamber of Commerce that
most of the worlds central banks present vary
ing degrees Of insolvency." That is so because Of
the close connection between Governments and
even the best of the banks. So long as commercial
banking is subordinated to fiscal banking the
worlds financial sickness will continue. The bad
state of Government finance is the source Of the
threatened instability of banks. We cannot de-
part from our banking principles any more than
we could palter with Bolshevism. We must pur-
sue the path from which other world bankers
have wandered, both for self protection and yfor
maintaining our abilitySto serve our foreign
friends We cannot cooperate with banks that
are under the necessity of financing Government
deficits with currency issues. We see our duty to
use our excess gold in world interest, but it is
higher duty not to waste it.
we are IN Lle IOurCn year Ol peace, DuC HelJneI
Governments nor banks in Europe have altered
their war methods War expenses are still a chief
cause of unbalanced budgets. One or two Govern
ments have started on the path which their bank
ers as well as ours know they must follow. Space
would fail to recite the delusons in banking which
have been current Politicians must pander to
economic illiteracy, but no free banker will do
Politicians are responsible for the doubling of the
worlds national debts since the war, and for the
triplng Of currency issues in the same period. If
the world bankers conference were to condone
these financial misdeeds it would be worse fail
ure than the Genoa conference.
There have been four economic conferences. All
were agreed, but their conclusions have not been
put in practice Our foreign friends must make
up their minds that we can no more change our
position on banking than on Russia. We sympa-
thze with their troubles we understand their diff
fculties, but we cannot adopt their ways. Over
seas Governments must practice what overseas
bankers and economists advise before we can CO.
operate with them as we desire.-New York
