GAVE NEW IDEA TO WORLD Architect Admita He Owes to Lucky Dream Structural Scheme Which Makes Him Famous. When the new three-story Bahai temple, which ls to cost several million .dollars, ls erected In Chicago, a dream that Louis Bourgeoise of New Tort city struggled with for 12 years to put Into plans and designs will have ma terialized. ? More than 25 years ago Bourgeoise sat OD the sea shore one night tracing .out lines he found In the study of the movement of the stars. A wave rush ed in over his markings on the sands, and they were lost. Just 12 years ago He heard of the competition for the Bahai temple. He mortgaged his home, and bought a small confectionery store which his wife, an artist, ran while he worked. Baha . *0 Uah, iounder of Bahalsm, had adopted nln? as the symbolic number of his re ligious movement, and said his temples .should have nine sides, with as mans equal gates for the nine great world religions he wished to unite in one temple. Bourgeoise sketched the idea; bul ho had to put lt in plaster, as he did not know how to carve. So one Sun day a friend taught him.. And then te carved the three stories one by one designing the second only after th? first was completed, and the third onlj when details of the. second were final His model took first prize. And it ls probable that Abul Bahai, present pontiff of Bahalsm, will come to Chi cago to live. BEST FORM OF WIND MOTOR Machine That Will Work In Perfect Calm ls Recent Invention of a . Swedish Manufacturer. For decades attempts at construct ing a wind motor that works so stead ily as to be used profitably for gen erating electricity failed because wind ! motor and generator were directly connected by a rod, and the Quantity of electric current was in direct pro portion to the power developed by the motor. A Stockholm (Sweden)' manufactur er succeeded recently in construct ing a satisfactory wind motor. While the wind ls strong.only part of the motor's power is utilized to drive the generator, while the surplus power lifts a heavy weight attached to an endless chain. When the wind ls not strong enough to furnish sufficient mo tor power, or ceases wholly, the gen erator ls kept In motion by the force of the slowly falling weight The famous Swedish engineer, Jan son, figures that the generator is kept working at full capacity even If abso lute calm prevail for three days. Improved Aluminum. A curious new form of aluminum has been attracting attention in France. When the pare metal Is heat ed in a vacuum, 97 per cent of lt is slowly volatlUzedftin Til hours at about 1,100 degrees Centigrade; and the whole ls volatilized In 30 hours at 1,200 degrees centigrade. A small por tion always proves less volatile than the rest Quite often a kind of frac tional distillation yields an aluminum residue that has Increased affinity for oxygen, and within a month this Is completely changed Into a bulky gray Ish-whlte mixture of alumina and aluminum. One suggestion ls that Im purities of iron or silicon Impart this peculiarity. But analysis shows only four per cent of Iron, and five per cent -of silicon, and the form of metal so readily oxidized proves, therefore, to be purer than the aluminum used for kitchen utensils and various other pur poses with no tendency to become oxi dized. It Is concluded that the easily 'oxidized metal ls an allotropic form of aluminum. Prepared for Tourists. Tourists flocking to the war zone are finding novel hotel arrangements and conditions more comfortable than expected In view of tte fact that hard ly a hotel was left habitable when the Germans retreated eighteen months ago. The latest Innovation of French tourist agencies is a hotel opened In Arras, where a series of ordinary rail road coaches are arranged In a square with a tent roof over the center, form ing reception and dining rooms. The Arras train bot?is have eighty rooms, each coach providing four compart ments large enough to accommodate the most fastidious customers. Bunga low hotels are being erected, especial ly in the Argonne, where the shell torn trees are being razed to provide timber for Canadian style cottages. Forgotten Distances. Americans who have forgotten the geography lessons of their school days will be surprised by statements made In an article on Chinese trade pub lished In Shipping. Manila, it says, which is an American insolar posses sion, ls closer to China than is Tokio, the capital of Japan. The Alaskan coast ia within 50 miles of Siberia. Therefore, the article concludes, it would seem that America should be more Interested In Asiatic than in Eu ropean trade.-From the Outlook. New Idea for Garage. The newest public garage has a fea ture saving the automobile owner a lot of annoyance which he Invariably ex periences In getting his car Into a space assigned to him at a public gar age. The new idea ls to run lt on a transfer truck which carries the cai to the desired place and the automo bile VJ run off the track Into Its place. This arrangement also conserves floor space._ _ (POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT) Address of Senator E. D. Smith to the People of South Carolina I wish to express to the voters of . my State my heartfelt appreciation of the generous support given me in the election last Tuesday. I received more than 20,000 votes over my nearest opponent, and came., within a few votes of a majority. The issues before the people are clear cut. Three powerful interests are endeavoring to bring about my defeat. FIRST: The cotton exchanges on account of the legislation I had passed fixing it so that they could ho longer deal in fictitious cotton, and exploit the real cot ton of our real farmers. SECOND : The whiskey interests desire my defeat so as to advertise to the world that South Carolina is repudiating her stand on prohibition. THIRD: The great financial institutions of Wall" Street oppose me. The reason is that by my work in having adopted the proviso to Section 13, of the Fed eral Reserve Act, the Southern farmers' cotton b?came a basis of credit. Because of this the money power, the manipulators, the speculators, and gamblers on fhe New York Cotton Exchange are working for my de feat. They knowing that 1 am the only Simon Pure farm er ^?n the United States Senate, and that I have been working for the past twelve years to keep them from using our cotton for their own selfish interests, and knowing that by my being advanced to the head of the Agricultural Committee of the Senate my power will '-. be greater than ever before, they are sparing no effort or means to defeat me. Unlike my opponent I have done and am doing all I can to wipe out factionalism in South Carolina, so we can all co-operate and pull together for a profitable price for our main money crop-cotton, and for the de velopment of all the industrial and other interests of the State. We have these selfish interests opposed to us, but we are going to win. The people of South Carolina do not move backward, and they will not be deceived by , "camouflaged" arguments and false reports. The best/ years of my life have been given to the^rvice of tfijpJ; people of my State, and my fists are not only doubled, but 1 am going to strike every enemy of the best in terests of South Carolina. Thanking you again for your confidence already ex pressed, and with assurances for the future, I am Yours faithfully, E. D. SMITH.
