5 4 - BEAMS T0 WORK JOLAR MOTOR 18 NEW INVENTION 7 OF VAST IMPORTANCE. After Many Years of SclentifiaJnvesti- gation Device is Discovered For Utilizing Sun's Rays. - ". When Jules Verne wrote his*great: book "Twenty Thousand Leagues Un- der tho Sea" it was deemed to bé the greatest piece of imaginary fiction Et produced, but now all that was ontainea in that/book, and more, has to pass and is being takeh as a matter of course. So much is it a matter of course that the next genera- tion will not remember the time when men knew not the floor of the sea. When Hans Anderson wrote, his * tale of a fairy riding a sunbeam he little thought that the time would come when the power of sunbeams would heat our homes, do our cooking, run our factories and drive horseless carriages to and fro over the face of the earth; and yet the time is com- _ ing, and that soon, when all these wonders and many more shall be ac- omplished, and the next generation + mill"be as familiar with the power of concentrated sunbeams as we of the | present generation are with the power of steam, gasoline and water. -,.. However, there is nothing new un- der the sun. Coal from which we pro- 'duce heat and steam is just the stored: concentrated eflergy of sunbeams. It {8 the power of the sun that evapo- - rates the water of low level and car- ~~ ries it back to the highlands so that it may furnish us with power as. it EH "gecks the low levels. ' It has Pg" been recognized that the sun is ~ghe source of all energy, and it is by "the proper harnessing of this known power that the problem of the world's ~~ supply of fuel and mechanical energy 18to be 'solved. . ee vapsly lo to {res so ale shi ss pie: It is estimated that on every "four square feet of surface betw we the equator and the 45th parallel there "a wastage of the equivalent of one horse; erergy. deck of a steamship is greater to than the steam power required Wop Scientists. Long a Puzzle to be obtained R at the 'point of concentra. tion. Xr SN Great Benefit to Mankind. In practice, this new servant will do wonders for its masters. We have only to think of the uses that unlimit- ed heat at.a nominal cost can be put to. It enters into every phase of human effort, comfort and convenience. - Let us consider ome, the automo- bile. Think of every garage in the country with a battery of mirrors on its roof 'as part of its regular equip- ment in of a gasoline outfit. During every hour of sunshine they would store up free power in storage batteries. Standard batterjes for standard cars, Think of the cleanlis ness, the absense of "smell" and the low cost of transportation. The automobile is only one item. The mind cannot grasp the changes that are coming to the world through Dr. Harvey's success. Unlimited heat without fuel! Heat that by boiling water will make steam to turn dynm- mos and store up energy! Heat so intense that it will break rocks and melt metals! Truly science has never presented humanity with a greater &ift. It is a perpetual gift, for so long as the sun shines and the earth con- tinues to revolve on its axis, will this source of heat and power be avail: able to the generations. = Wonderful are the provisions made by nature for man's comfort! These wonders lie dormant until the brain of man searches them out and fits them to his use. - The primitive man who invented the bent bow with which to drive an arrow at his enemy was drawing on the stores of Nature for his well-being. It is a long cry from that weapon to modern gunnery, but at the time the bow was invented Nature held in her secret pi the material needed for the manufacture of the modern gun-and the high ex- plosive; and so, when man was pro-| ducing and: heat by rubbing two sticks together, the sun was pou! unlimited heat on all about him. Truly there is nothing new, but all honor to theman who, by untiring effort and years of study, has succeeded in har- nessing the source .of all heat and energy and making of it the uptirir and perpetual servant of man. fp iis . Sir Evelyn Wood. That grand old warrior, Sir Evelyn Wood~--the last of the later Victorian soldiers of eminence--who recently celebrated his 81st birthday, is justly proud of the war record of his family. Three of his"sons, three of his grand- sons, and three sons-iglaw and three nephews and a great-néphew, have all seen continuous service during the past four years.

It is'claimed that a of an ounce of freezone will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but is sufficient to rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or callus. You are further warned that cutting at a corn is a suicidal habit. : ee Gp an "Thou That Hast Looked on Death."

Many people thought that this was a unique event in the history of the Em- ! ire. but this was not so. e first occasion on which the colonies contrfbuted military aid for an Imperial enterprise was in Crom- '| well's Expedition to Jamica in 1653-4. |. On that occasion the Barbados fur- | nished 4,000 men.

The next in- stance came in" the Carthagena Ex- pedition of 1740, when the American colonies suppllied a force of 4,000 men. After that the American colonies help- ed consistently in the conquest of Ca- nada, until the final victory of Am- herst in 1760. During that period the first two American regiments were placed in the British Establishment, Americans," which were still with us as the King's Royal Rifle Corps. Then the American colonies were lost, and everyone thought that the British Empire had come to an end. Immediately afterwards followed the waf in which our losses in the West Indies compelled us to raise a regi | ment of African negroes, still with us as the West Indian Regiment. was consolidated. Canadians helped gallantly to defend their country from American invasion from 1812 to 1814. The Cape Cololnists joined in the fights against the Kaffirs, and the New Zealand Colonists in the wars against the Maoris. Then came the war in Egypt, and for the first time Australia offered a battalion for that service. Then came the South African war, when practical ly all the colonies sent contingents. And finally, in.the present war, not only every part of the Empire has given us freely of its men, but the des- cendants of Peninsula veterans in South America sent us their sons, whose native tongue was Spanish, and who knew not a word of English, to fight for the Old Country.

The Sydney Bulletin tells a new story of the shirker caught at his own game. It was a soldier, who said: "Please, sergeant-major, may I\be excused from church parade? I am an agnostic."

The opinion of generations that have hated written sermons is reflect- 'ed in a story told of a Scotchwoman who gat under a minister who al- ways read his Sunday morning dis- course. / "How's the new meenjister gettin' on?" a neighbor asked the woman. "How's he gettin' on?" said she. "Liké a crow in a tater fleld--two dabs and a look-up." Cause for Thankfulness. Among the many good Irish stories one of the best concerns a certain waking up in the night, saw an ap- parition at the foot of the bed.

A recruit in one of the camps when called up for examination was asked: "Who is your nearest living rela- tive?" "What do you,mean, 'relative,' mis- ter?" returned 'the recruit. "Oh, I mean your nearest living kinsfolk." "Wal, that's my aunt you're talking bout." . Several other questions were ans- wered satisfactorily, when there came: "Th case of death or accident, who shall be notified?" "My mother," immediately from the selective. "But you told me just a few min- utes ago that your aunt was the near- est living relative that you have," ob- jected the -officer. "You asked me who my nearest vin' kin was, didn't you? Wal, Aunt IAiz--she lives just two miles from where I been livin'; mother lives five." ------ Minard's Liniment Cures Burus. Ete Royal Love Letters.
