ELECTRICITY FROM WIND.
Resioni Why This Method of Getting
It Is Not More Generally Adopted.
If we mistake not. Dr. Frldtjof Nansen.
in his last attempt to reach the north polo.
had the Fram equipped with a specially
designed windmill, which when operating
drove a dynamo and furnished the neces
sary current for lighting purposes. An
nermotor erected on the roof of a building
in Park place in this city has been for
some time successfully driving a dynamo
in connection with a storage battery plant,
the current from which has been utilized
for incandescent lighting. ' From this It
will be seen that there is nothing very
new in the application of windmills to-the
driving of dynamos.
There are probably several reasons why
the windmill or aermotor has not been
more universally adopted for the above
purpose. In the first place such a motive
power is always more or less uncertain
and Cannot always be depended upon.
There may be a calm just at the time it Is
found necessary to recharge the batteries,
or the batteries may be in use when a.
breeze springs up. This would necessitate
having two 6ets of batteries at a consider
able cost. Another reason why aermotors
have. not been more extensively adopted is
probably due to the fact that current can
now be generated with steam as a motive
power very economically, especially in
large quantities. The erecting of an aer
motor and the installation of a number of
storage batteries with a dynamo mean a
considerable outlay of money, especially
when the cost of maintenance and renew
als is taken into account. In certain cases
it may be found that the interest on the
batteries, generator and windmill, with
the labor item figured in, will cost as
much in the long run as the current could
be purchased for on the outside.
But probably the chief reason why the
power of the wind is allowed to- go to
waste when it could be employed for gen
erating electricity is the same as that
which prevents the immense power deriv
able from the , tides in both the Hudson
and' East rivers ifrom being utilized
namely, conservatism, or, if not lack of
progress, a slowness in availing ourselves
of opportunities. 'Electricity.
SENSIBLE SMOKING RULES.
Read Them, Ye Burners, of the Clara-
rette. and Take Warning.
Generalarzt Dr. Scholar publishes in the
Gentralblatt zu Gesundheitspflege a collec
tion of "Hints to Smokers," which are
founded, as . the doctor states, upon his
professional observations for many years
of mouth, teeth, stomach, lungs, heart and
skin of the devotees of tobacco.
The first and foremost rule is never to
smoke before breakfast, nor, as a rule,
when the stomach is empty. This custom
- is the worst possible foe: of digestion. Nev-
. er smoke daring any exertion of great
physical energy, as dancing, running, cy
cling, mountain climbing or rowing, and
especially if in a contest. Never follow
the bad custom of the French and the
Russians" by allowing the smoke to pass
through the nose. Never inhale it through
the nose.
Keep the smoke as far as possible from
the eyes and nose. The longer the pipe
the better. The use of a short pipe during
work is to be avoided. A pipe is the most
wholesome form of smoking, a cigar the
next, a cigarette the worst. Always throw
away your cigar when you ' have smoked
four-fifths of it. The last end of it is the
most hurtful, in oauda venenum, the poi
son lurks in thetaiL
All cigarettes are bad, but eastern cigar
rettes the worst, for they are always com
pounded with some degree of opium. The
smoker ought to rinse out. his mouth, not
only before every meal and before going to
bed, but several times during theday. The
best rinse for the smoker is a glass of wa
ter in which a teaspoonf ul of table salt has
been dissolved. It should be used as a
gargle at night, 'and care should be taken
that every cavity in the teeth is well wash
ed with it. The pipe's proper place Is In
the hand and only occasionally In the
lips or the mouth. .

At 'a recent fire in this city ridicu
lousness and wickedness were somewhat

tors, when a woman connected with the

SCIENCE IN BUILDING THE HUGE
STACKS OF TIMBER. 1
Bach Variety ' of Wood Requires a
Particular Treatment of Exposure
That It May Become Properly Sea-V
soned. " 'Jjf
'. i
It would certainly seem to the unob
servant man that of all places in the world
a oity lumber yard was the dullest. That
there is romance or any conceivable inter-i
st in heaps of timber, stacked high up in
the air, he would hardlv admit.-. En
those who get their bread and butter in
the trade acknowledge no enthusiasm and
hardly know how to describe what their
workmen do. Until you enter into its
mysteries, therefore, the lumber trade is
very prosalo and a lumber yard but a
sleepy place, hardly worth a moment's no
tice, ' ' i ;
Once in amid the stacks, however, the
point of view changes. What at a distance
seemed simply wood without distinctions
now is seen to be timber of many different
sorts. Each -variety has its heap or heaps;
each heap is now in process of "season
ing." Some of these stacks may lie there
for months, some even for years, growing
meanwhile more and more valuable, for,
it is age, sun baths, the effect of the at
mosphere, that improve lumber week in
and week out. A lumber yard, carelessly
arranged as it may seem to be, is never
theless the perfection of precision. Its
heaps are by no means "just, wood," as
they appear to the casual passerby. On
the contrary, they are scores of varieties,
each subject to some especial treatment,
each piled in'some especial manner, some
to wait over so many weeks to be sold at
a certain figure, so many more weeks if
designed to bring a higher price.
Towering up in the air SO, 40 feet, some
times '60, again even 60, stretch these lum
ber heaps. Each variety needs a treatment
of its own. Some must lie in the open
air, exposed to all fashions of wind and
rain, others after a little time must be put
under a sort of covered shed a shed that
has only a back and "eyebrow" roof that
projects far over in a .sort of hood and al
lows a free and constant circulation of
wind and air. k
Verily, there is a science in this stack
ing of wood, a science that does not ap
pear or show itself at the first glance. The
lumberman is not only he who up in the
North woods, in the far east or west, down
south or in the tropics selects, outs down
and hews, but quite as much the man in
the heart of New York city who heaps up
the sticks and by arranging them deftly
and,, knowing just what they need, cares
for and cures - them until out they come
well seasoned lumber.
There is even a trick and a pretty art in
stacking these lengths of wood, each hun
dreds of pounds in weight. Danger hangs
over the men who mount the piles and
from their elevated perches pull up or
swing down the huge '.'sticks."- The bal
ance of the workman up aloft is not easily
preservea. xne weignt or the "stick" may
cause him to topple at any Instant. Espe
cially when "letting down" must he see
to it that he lets go at precisely the right
second, else the "stick" will drag him
along with it, despite his efforts and strug
gles. On top of a lumber pile very truly
does the city lumberman take his life into
his own hands. And yet such is their skill
that an- accident seldom happens. These
men juggle with the sticks at once so
clumsy and so heavy with the ease of a
Japanese master of tricks. ' The lengths of
wood are handed up end first. The man
on the ground raises one, men on a stag
ing above grasp it, draw it up and swing
its end to a staging beyond. Two stag
ings usually suffice. When a pile is not at
its topmost, one is all that is necessary.
These stagings are built out from the lum
ber itself and form what would seem to be
precarious and unsafe platforms. They
are none too steady at the best. Yet some
how they never break, and the one danger
a man has to fear is losing his balance and
falling from them.
A lumber stack of well seasoned oak
some 80 feet high may be easily worth
$1,000. One inch maple (for the purposes
of comparison) that has laid in stack for
one year would be valued at about one
half the price of the oak. Spruce, again,
is figured, under similar conditions of
seasoning, at about three-fifths the figure
of the maple. But all this depends. Cir
cumstances feovern the value of the woods, j
The "seasoning" gradually drives out the
water and reduces the weight. It is well
worth knowing, as an independent fact,'
that 40 per cent of the weight of a green
tree consists of water. , f !
The technical terms ' about lumber
yard are curious and interesting. . A heap
of wood is piled up for two months. The
foreman says it is "stuck there for 60
days." He piles up his oak sticks (some
of which weigh a ftni 300 pounds each)
with a bit of board rather two bits of
board, one at each end between each stick
and that above it. This is called "stick
ing in courses," the word "oourses" be
ing used in place of "layer." This has
for its object the separation of the boards
during seasoning, so that the air can get
at every part of each. When cypress comes
to be stacked, the boards are separated by
pairs, instead of one from the other. In
the lumber trade these are "stuck two
deep." . ' ! :
Thus it will be seen there are sundry
oddities, a number of strange little things
about the piling and the curing of lumber.
The trade that seems so simple comes,
after all, to be one of considerable science.
There are a score of matters a lumberman
of New York has to know. - ... J U
Spruce, for example, the cheaper-qualities,
does not need seasoning, but pine
must dry. Hemlock is, of all, the cheap
est. Then come poplar, pine and maple, j
ash, cypress, chestnut, birch ' and oak. ;
Over these in point of value are the cabi
net woods mahogany, walnut, rosewood, j
ebony, fine grades of birch, curly maple,
curly birch and others yet rarer and more
costly.
' The great lumber yards' that one sees in
his travels about town, however, do not
carry these expensive woods. Keeping :
, . - . ji i ji
BUCn ior saie is quire a separaw auu iub- ;
tirict business. Such woods require special j
buildings to keep them in, and small
pieces of many of them mount up in cost.
The ordinary woods one sees in a lumber
yard take care of themselves to a great ex
tent. . : . i
Yet the pick and choice of these even
need some sort of shelter! The sticks that
need the most curing are heaped up in a
shed. This shed is built in stories, or
floors, and the putting up and taking;
down of, say, oak lengths from high up
is an interesting sight. New York Trib
