Draw Power From Air.

The mission settlement at Mt. Hope, 100 miles north of the arctic circle, in Alaska, is contemplating the installation of an electric lighting plant to be driven by large windmills. During the long arctic winter the steady winds in that region seldom fall below 20 miles an hour, which is ample for driving the power plant. Sines fuel of any kind Is exceedingly ex pensive in that region, the power will serve the dual purpose Of Illuminating and heating.
