erty valued at more than $3,000,000 is
reported to have been destroyed and
rumors are current of a heavy loss
of life as the result of a storm which
swept the North Carolina coast. Wire
communication with the stricken dis

Efforts to verify by wireless reports
of many casualties on Oracoke island,
in Pamlico sound, have been fruitless.
All wireless stations in that vicinity
are believed to be wrecked by .the
storm.
The greatest damage to property oc
curred in Beaufort county and havoc
was wrought among the fishing craft
in tho Pamlico river. Washington
business houses and manufacturing
plants along the water front were part
ly destroyed. The damage in this coun
ty alonn is estimated ut $2,000,000.
The fury of the gale was sonterod
on the towns along Pamlico sound,
among' theso being Morehead City,
Beaufort, Newberne, Washington, Bay
boro, Bell Hayen and a score of small

tia. Hot Springs, Ark., Sept.' 8. Fire
which Btartod in a negro's cabin here
on Friday caused a loss of $10,000,000.
Fifty blocks of buildings were de
stroyed. No lives were lost.
A caprice of the gale aided dyna
miters In their efforts to keep the
flames from the main business sec
tion. Shortly after 10:30 tho wind began
to subside, and tho fire, having laid
waste tho greater part of tho South
Hot Springs business district and ex
clusive Quapaw and Prospect avenue
residential sections, burned itself out
at the foot of West mountain.
Various estimates of tho monetary
loss range from $6,000,000 to $10,000,
000. Thousands aro homeless, several
were slightly Injured, but no fatalities
are reported.
Gov. George W. Hays arrived at
Hot Springs late at night. He ordered
out the militia at once to patrol the
devastated district
The fire originated in a negro dwell
ing on Church street, near Malvern
avenue, Just east of the Army and
Navy hospital, and Bpread quickly to
the south and east. A number of small
dwellings, dry as tinder, as a result of
an extended drought, were easy proy
for tho flames, which within a fow min
utes were beyond the control of the
local fire department.
From this region the fire spread to a
manufacturing section, then to a pre
tentious reBldonco and hotel district
and then the shifting wind threatened
to carry the flames to the main busi
ness section. .
Among thd buildings destroyed
were: City light, water and powor
plants; Garland county courthouse;
Park, Jefferson, Princess and Moody
hotels; city high school; Iron Moun
tain railroad station and shops; Ozark
sanitarium, Peaplo's laundry, Zlegler
apartments, Crystal theater, Bijou
rink.
A hundred or more smaller business
buildings and many residences, Includ
ing some of the best in the city, were
burned.

Capacity of Six Amperes.
What Lb probably the smallest farm
lighting plant in the country has boen
Installed on the farm of a dairyman
near Poynette, Wis. This tiny plant
supplies current.for 14'lamps and Is
operated entirely by the farm wlfiK
mill, at a total cost of a few conua a
year for rubricating oil.
The farm consists of about 100
acres and is dovoted to stock ralslsg
and dairying. Tho power windmill is
12 feet In diameter, with a vortical
shaft extending down tho tower; at
tached to it aro tho power pulleys, etc.
In addition to driving tho electric light
dynamo this mill Is used to operate
a drill press, grindstone, corn shelter,
small saw, washing machine, grain ele
vator nnd feed grinder.
The dynamo Is located in a Bmall
building at tho baso of tho windmill
tower. This dynamo has a capacity
of bIx amperes nt 35 volts, or 0.2 kilo
watts when driven at full speed of 450
revolutions a minute. The variations in
speed, due to irregularities in the
wind, are overcome by a small auto
matic switch placed in the circuit .be
tween the generator and the storage
batteries, which prevents any acci
dents to the apparatus by "breaking"
the circuit when a certain range of
speed has been passed.
The tiny plant illuminates tho home,
tho yards and the barn buildings. All
the lamps receiyo their current from
the storage battery, the charging of
which is tho dynamo'iLonly function..
The entire plant. Including windmill,
generator, battery, wiring, lamps, etc.,
