The Latest in Windmill Vanes.

The feature of this wind motor is !n the horizontal arrangement of the vanes in a semi cylindrical hood, which is caused to turn freely by the wind pressure on its tail, thus ex-

posing to the force of the wind

only those vanes that do not move against the wind. The shaft As well as the propeller, is mounted on roller bearings. The design of the apparatus perImits of such strong construction ithat it may be made of great size, with a proportional increase in power. Such power could, of p.curse, be applied to any purpose.
