Concerning the Crank
The crank is . , largely * a product j t of f
modern civilization. The fast life,
the nervous greed, the artificial
system, which afflicts the United
States, have developed if not cre¬
ated that morbid individual who is
not wholly insane but more or less
cranky. Society is troubled by
such creatures, but society is re
sponsible for them. We travel so
rapidly P in this day that the nerv
„„ s organism and men,,! machin
ery of some of the travelers break
down under the strain. When this
break down arrives and the result
ant crank comes into being his first
thought is to hold some more fdr
tunate individual responsible for
the difference in situation which
he can realize but not understand.
He selects, therefore, a prominent
man, a president, a millionaire, a
mayor or a statesman, and think
,
ing to avenge financial grievances
bring about reforms, he be
or pest. With
comes a murderer or a

ly comes an epidemic of cran .

not only selfishness and cruelty
and modern civilization but, as a

and cranks. And for the sin

THE EGG AND THE HARE.
Two Different Symbol* Connected Witt
the Easter Anuivemry.
Of late years there has been a
marked and growing tendency or
the part of Easter artiste and con
fectioners to substitute the rabbit oi
hare for the old familiar Easter egg
as a symbol of the joyous Easter an
niversary. In the well remembered
‘‘not long ago” the egg held abso
^ ^ Uudls P uted swa y as » the
“ niver “ 1 euj blem of the resurrec
!° n ' hen the egg ‘ripened” and
th e fuzzy little chick added its cun
mn 8 presence to confectioners’ win
'low decorations. So far the connec
lion between the symbol and the
event was so easily understood that
comment or questioning would have
been entirely superfluous, but with
the advent of the “bunny” y tribe the
P lej£lt f becomes Q to ° embarrass- ,
1Dg for f sllence ’ and one is anxious
to have an answer to the question,
Wh Y 1 Tb0 timid, dainty little long
eared rabbit is certainly cute and at
tractive, but what has it to do with
Easter? No one questions its beauty
or effectiveness, but wherein lies its
appropriateness?
In seeking an answer to this rea
sonable inquiry o;k> finds an easy
clew in the wor-t of Chinese, Japa
nese and Hindoo artists, who all
agree in associating the hare with
the p’oon. In the minds of these
am-corities the “man in the moon, IS
w i tb whom one is so well acquaint¬
is not a man at all, but a hare,
it is found in studying the my¬
of these countries that the

the connection between the

Easter is really a festival of the

of Nice in 351 A. D. as tho

So the moon being clearly related

Of course this only opens the door
to a flood of eager questions whose

why the hare should have been
adopted as the symbol of the moon
is not easy to determine satisfacto¬
rily, as history on this point is
shrouded in tbe clouds of antiquity
and complicated by conflicting tes¬
timony. One account has it that

Mr. Cassidy says:
A certain story associated with
Tunbridge Wells illustrates how sen¬
sibly she was treated. At a bazaar
in that town the little girl had spent
all her money, most unselfishly, it
must be admitted, for she had been
buying presents for her friends. A
pretty box arrested her attention,
and she said to her governess:
“How I should like to buy that
box for So-and-so,” whom she men¬
tioned by name, “but it is half a

The saleswoman, saying, “That

inclose it with the other articles,

offered to put by the box ter

It was quite early one morning some

ANCIENT WINDMILLS.
Men Learned to Harness the Air Current*
In the Earliest Ages.
From the eurliest antiquity wind
has been employed as a motive
power, but it was not until the thir
teenth century that it was used to
turn the mills of Holland, France,
Germany and Belgium. In Holland
especially the thirteenth century
was a century marked by growing
intelligence that fostered inventive
talent, and Dutch millwrights and
engineers were celebrated for their
skill in mechanics and engineering.
The avariciousness of landlords
prevented the general use of wind¬
mills in England. Of a man today
who tries to take more than belongs
to him we say that he wants the
earth, and it is inconceivable to us
that a time ever existed when a
man could claim the proprietorship
of the air. Such, however, at one
time was the power of men holding
vast estates in England that mills
to be propelled by water or air were
heavily taxed to pay for the use of
the wind which blew them from
over some lord’s domains. As to
the form these mills took, they were
at first built movable, with the sails
turned in the direction of the pre¬
vailing winds of the country in
which they were situated, so that
they were in operation only when
the wind was from a certain quar¬
ter. They were afterward built on
a float. To turn the mills to the
w’ind two methods were invented.
In the German mill the whole struc
turned on a post which save
a very ridiculous appearance, as
if the bulky tower and superstruc
,
-niinrt'™?, attempting to walk '
the axle and spars alone are mova
ble. But they were both operated
i, Dy ro a «rb«»l wneei anu ., nil nininnw pinions within w unin or 01
bv a loner lever without. The base
ment was generally 11 built 1 , ;ie up nn of
bowlders or heavy stonework, and
tho interior was fitted up with
or with various kinds of ma¬
chinery. Half a century ago nearly
the whole of the grinding, stamp¬
ing, sawing, draining and pumping
of the low countries of Europe was
done by wiud power. And even
now, after nearly six centuries of
constant use and the introduction
of many rivals into the field of mo¬
never tors. the nmfc people 1 of Holland have
---- -
their purposes. The Zuyder Zee,
which is to be emptied and added
to the land area of the country,
will be pumped dry with windmills,
but they will be of the automatic
steel type known as the American
mill.
Despite the erroneous popular no¬
tion that windmills are antiquated,
their use is constantly increasing.
A traveler in Holland records the
fact that from a car window he
counted 30, two-thirds of which
were of the American type, in the
of . ten . minutes, . and , one jour- .
epace Central
neying on the New York
will become aware of these features
of the landscape in our own country
before Troy is left 100 miles behind.
All over central New York, Ohio
and westward across what we used
to be taught in our school geogra¬
phies was the Great American des¬
ert, now iu Kansas, Nebraska and
eastern Colorado, these windmills
may be seen. Sometimes they are
built like the Eiffel tower, an open
work structure of steel or iron, in
which are pumping works and sur¬
mounted by a wheel made of slats.
The receiving surface of these
American mills is made up of blades
of small width set at an angle into
crossbars connecting the arms of
the mill. This construction is much
lighter than that of the Dutch mill,
stronger and of greater capacity for
a given diameter, and it responds to
every variation of the wind with
the lightness and certainty of a
bird’s wing.—Modern Machinery.
Scientific Cutting.
Men of science sometimes make
extraordinary demands upon tho
skill of instrument makers. An in¬
teresting illustration is furnished
by the instrument called the micro¬
tome, the purpose of which is to cut
excessively thin slices or sections
of various substances, such as ani¬
mal or vegetable tissues, for micro¬
scopic examination. Microtomes
have recently been invented which,
it is claimed, can cut successive sec¬
tions each only one twelve-thou¬
sandth of an inch thick. The edge
of the knife which makes such cuts
appears perfectly smooth and
straight when magnified 50 times.
