It would be hl|4 to tract' a roaeui bianco between the picturesque wind- 1 mills of Holland and tho wind-power j electric i>1uu(h to bb aeon bore and j thru; on faruiH throuKbout this coun try. Mounted In ateel frames capable of Withstanding eVen a hurricane, thl? typo ot air motor supplies electricity for all farm needs, and there 1h no reuson why they should not lie built largo enough to develop thousands ?f horsepower, thereby (I01IU a per inn inn i saving In coal, says Electrlcnl Experimenter. Io fact, suth a plant baa been designed t'??r the town of Tomah, Wis, The working parts of theao mills are Inclosed1 la weatherproof casing*, tilled with lubrlcattpgoll and mounted on hall hearings.. The power values torn on their bearings In Bueh a man ner as to expose them to the wind at tho angle of greatest efficiency, no matter from what quarter It may blow. For only 80 degrees of the circle does the wind atrlke the vano on its edge or at a point where the fullest power Is not developed. The most Ingenious features are the automatic controls. When the storage batterfcN are charged the mill stops; after they have given up a certain amount of current the vanes are thrown Into the wind and begin work agiiftn. If the velocity of the air cur rents would develop a speed Injurious to the machinery the angle of the vanes to the wind automatically changes, preventing the mill from run ning above a given rate. The plant requires little attention. Reasonable care must be given to the generator, distilled or rain water provided for the batteries, and once a year the bearings must be filled with oil. INK MADE FROM TOADSTOOLS V . Manufacture of Writing Fluid From Common Variety of Fungus la Pro posed In France. The utilization of a common variety of fungus for the mahufneture of ink, now both costly and scarce? lias been proposed In France. The Ink-yielding fuhgns which Is often found growing in clusters where decaying vegetable limtter i'TUf<t In rich. : /lump,, BAll sometimes called the "Inkstand" or the "Ink hot tin? because of the fact that j when It decays a black liquid Is pro* j duced. Its cap Is elongated and bell shaped. white at first and- covered with a shining powder, later turning to gray I with small brown scales On Its top. A French scientific Journal says that extensive, experiments in the produc tion of Indelible ink from this fungus were once carried on by French; bot anists. The fungi are simply placed In n bottle or other container. After standing for a day or two they change to a black pulpy mass, which, on being filtered thrbugh cloth, yields n deep black Or brownish Ink, not un like India Ink. The addition of a small quantity of gum arable and a little of the essence of cloves said, to Im prove It and preserve Its fluidity. The Ink consists of a liquid In which are suspended the minute spores of the fungus. For <a this purpose It can be readily identified by means of a micro scopic examination. As it is also Indel ible, It Is peculiarly valuable for use In ;writing of wills aiid other docu ments which are sometimes subject to fraudulent alteration. ? Pathfinder. Where It's Really Cold. Turn up your collar, thrust your hands to the bottom of your pockets and read about the "cold pole" of northern Siberia, where the natives speak patronizingly about Greenland's Icy mountains and other such relative ly luil my resorts. At the town of Verkoyansk, which would probably never have had any Inhabitants if the late czar's government bad not sent i Occasional batches of exiles thither, the thermometer has been known to drop to (X) degrees below rero, which is a "record" for the whole world. Wliile the regions about the North and South pole** of the earth are cold all the time, the Siberian "cold pole" gives Its Inhabitants a comfortable let-up in i summer, when the thermometer fre- ! quently climbs up Into the 80' s above j zero. During the brief summer season j the life-giving rays of the sun, which j remains above the horizon day and [ night for some time during the height ; of the season, exert an intensely stlm- ; ulatlng Influence upon the vegetation and the ground Is covered with Mowers, j Dread of Poverty. A great deal of apparent poverty j comes from dread of poverty. A man stives every cent and goes mind and j soul hungry and, ten to one. he is | starving somebody else at the same | time, along with himself. He Is real- : ly poor, for the time being, although' he has a large bank account. Poverty ? will come every time hh the result of ?? tho improper attitude toward money, j Money is not a reality; It represents things that we consider for our gf>od. j Hut there is no poverty like that of ; the starved soul that shrinks and drle? up inlo narrowness an<l < >rr.pres-j sion.

WISE AND AUDACIOUS BIRD fttory of the Indian Crow That Illus trates Well Hie Moat Unoanny Knowlngneaa. Travelers in the Orient have much to say about the Indian crow, u hint that for uni iiiiiiy knowlngm-^ am d prankish audacity lias perhaps no equal. Oorvus splendj&M thus have orni thologists labelled hlin ; hut u famous naturalist u ho knows the brcwd ut first hand ban called them "shreds of Sa tan, cinders from Tartarus." To give then** Impish features their due, how ever, it should be told that Ufa la India is not a little enlivened by their presence. Here l? a characteristic tale of their doings: A small hawlc had seized a little l%d and perched on a leafless branch to devour bin prey. The spectacle drew two crows to tlio apot. They hopped and flapped from branch to branch noisily discussing the strategy of tbalr Intended raid. Then one of them quietly slipped away through the surroundlug foli age. At the same time his mate flew In front of the perched hawk, and hovering steadily within a foot of hi* beak maintained a bustling menace of snatching the titbit. That effectively compelled the at tention of the hawk. His. prey grasped firmly beneath his feet, he ungrlly hissed and lunged at the hov ering nuisance. So lively was the Hklrmlsh that tho human onlooker for fot the existence of the second crow, lut now that wily bird reappeared some distance In the rear of his des tined victim. With stealthy sldllngs and short, noiseless flights he drew near. Then he made a swift dash, seized Jtho hawk's long barreatali by the tip, hung on with nil his weight and top pled the luckless hawk In a complete j back somersault from the branch. The released titbit was Instantly seized by the first crow, and the clever pair bore off their booty with much triumphant cawing. '? IS DUTY OF ALL TO BE FIT ? ? ? ? National Efficiency Demands That All Citizens Keep Themselves In Qood Physical Condition. There are thousands, perhaps mil lions, of individuals who might be j wUllng_la.dic. for their country ? If-the accident of being of military age and fortunes of war should occasion such a sacrifice ? who apparently are not willing to reform their personal habits tfhd go into training to Improve them selves personally for the sake of add ing to our combined national effi ciency. . And yet I believe that If any one of these men Is once brought to see this question In Its right light he. will not hesitate to do anythiug and every thing to improve himself. It Is a per sonal duty, and It Is a national duty. ?JVhy should only the soldiers go into traifdng? Success in modern warfare Is said to be based 70 per cent or more upon Industrial and business ef ficiency. Then why should not the workers and business men go Into training to muke themselves as vigor ous, fit and efficient as our soldiers? The wear and tear of business ad ministrations will sometimes be found just as trying as the rigors of mili tary life. Vast numbers of business men (lie prematurely in middle age, just when their business or profes sional success most requires their con tinued energy and direction. due should be fit for any emergency. The requirements of war and business are after all not so different as one might suppose,. In either case, It Is primarily a matter of building vitality, organic strength, nerve strength and that quality of "resistance needed to endure a strain of any kind that may be placed upon one. Don't Pronounce It "e-tle." A New York Writer takes physicians to task for their almost universal mis pronunciation of words ending In "itis" by giving the lirst "1" the long "e* sound. He says this causes many other persons to feel uncertain whether ap pendicitis Is pronounced with tho two final syllables "e-tis" or "l-tis," with other words of the class ? colitis, tonsi lltis and so on ? in the same uncertain* ty. He says that according to the rules of Kngllsh-Latiu pronunciation usual ly followed in scientific terminology (whether from the Latin or the Cireek) by English-speaking scientists the termination "l-tis" is correct. The proper pronunciation of appendicitis therefore would be ap-pen-dls-l-tls, which makes the "itts" like the 1 in Ice and not as e in eel. The writer says further: "According to Webster ? "itls" is correct and that the pronunciation "e-tis," so often heard. Is perhaps due to German in fluence. The German scientists have brought about this change and If we are to use t lie term in a correct way we should adhere to the rules of Kng- 1 Itsh-Lntln pronunciation. This sugges tion of the possible German Influence ?will probably no farther to establish a correct pronunciation than respect for English-Latin terminology. . 1 All She Gets.
