The wings guide the vapor toward the ceiling,and also collect the excess of water and conveys it to a trough below. 355. THE PANTANEMONE. A stationary windmill in opera-tion in France. Two plane surfaces in the form of semicircles are mounted at right angles to each other upona horizontal shaft, and at an angle of 45°with respect to the latter. It results fromthis that the apparatus will operate (evenwithout being set) whatever be the direc-tion of the wind, except when it blows per-pendicularly upon the axle, thus permitting(owing to the impossibility of reducing thesurfaces) of threescore days more workper year being obtained than can be withother mills so claimed in proportion to thework of the old Holland mills. 356. A KANSAS with canvas sails with theaxle set on the meridian so that itruns with any wind with north orsouth in it. It is crude and home-made. Every farmer can make onefor pumping water, churning, andmany small wants for AIR-POWER MOTORS AND APPLIANCES. 145 357. SAILING WAGON. Across the wide forward end of thetriangular frame extends an axle to which wheels are journaled. The short axle of the rear wheels is piv-oted by a kingbolt to the narrowend of the frame. To the short axleis attached a gear wheel into whichmeshes a smaller wheel secured tothe lower end of a vertical shaftjournaled in bearings fastened to theframe. Upon the upper end of thisshaft is a handwheel or tiller, by-means of which the wagon may beguided. The speed of the wagon isregulated by brakes upon the front wheels, connected with an uprightlever pivoted in the middle part of the frame and provided at its
