effort usually made to present a new ap
pearance to the world. Tho matter of
disguise Js a dangerous one that must be
nanoieu gingerly. Tho usual method Is
to chango the style of wearing the hair,
to shavo the face if It be adorned with
whiskers, or to let whiskers sprout If It
be smooth-shaven. These were the
methods used by Dr. Cook In his well
known vanishing act after, tho perpetra
tion of his better known North polo hoax,
and they served him fairly well.
Hair dyes, wigs and face stains are
sometimes used, but It must bo done with
consummate skill or it will be found
to be boomerangs.
Almost Invariably tho style of clothos
is changed. But here, too, the utmost
caution must bo exercised. Thd man
who Is very anxious to hide himself Is
likely to overdo the matter, concluding
that the greater chango in his costume
the deeper Is his concealment.

It is said that there nre 10,000 wind
mills In Holland, The number Is said,
however, to. be less tlran" it was fifty
years ago, for tho Dutch have, In n
'measure, substituted steam and other
forms of power for tho capricious wind'.
On the eastern end of Long IbIiih.1
there may be seen old windmills. Tha
curious may observe tSat there Is a
tiny wlndmllle In many cases, perched
on tho top opposite the great arms, a
feature that suggests a pug dog's curled
tall. Those who havo Investigated the
mechanism of the wlniSmlll know that
the littlo windmill Is tho Yankee method
of automatically keeping the sails on the
great arms always In the wind. As soon
as the wind changes, It puts the small
wheel In motion, and this quickly rolls
the top of the tower nnd the big wheel
around until It ngaln faces the wind,
then, being Itself out of the wind, It
stops. Whenever tho wind changes In
Holland, hundreds of mlllkeepcrs come
forth and laboriously turn the tops about
by hand. They may bo econ pushing
and straining on the galleries surround
ing the towers midway between the
ground and the top or tugging at the
pokes of a wheel on the ground.
Zaanland Is especially tho homo of the
windmill, It lies to the north and west
of Amsterdam, and every town or vil

KaandlJIk. nccordlng to ono traveler,
perpetually reminds one of the old query:
"Do you see anything' greon?" Every
thing In Kaundljlk Is green. Bridges,
fences, doors, windows, walls are green,
ranging from the green of peas to that
of apples, olives, grass, malachite, beryl,
old bottles and verdigris. '
It was at Zaanland, a town of this dis
trict, that Peter tho Oreat learned the
art of shipbuilding. In a little museum
of this placo thero are shown many
models of windmill, among which Is
that of the first windmill erected In
Kaandam. It stood In the water, and
when It was desired to turn tho sails
towards tho wind the miller was obliged
to get Into' his boat and, taking a line,
tow the wholo strueture around until it
was In u working position again. Iater
on the mill was set on a post and the
whole turned about this as an axis. In
the same manner thnt one revolves book
she Ives. Then another method was de
vised. Tho ehtlro edifice was turned
about from tho bottom like, a monitor's
turret. Finally, the comparatively mod
ern type was adopted, that of a cap hold
ing the axle and sails with a cog wheel
and spindle Inside and easily moved from
below by a hand wheel or windlass to se
cure the proper frontage at will.
The IyOrd of Voorst and the Over
IJssel monastery were parties to a suit
Involving the question as to who owned
the wind and enjoyed the right "to em
ploy It. The old feudal master asserted
that Boreas and all the puffings of h'ls
cheeks that frisked over the country
were his. The bishop of Utrecht, to
whom the suit was referred, decided
