A NEW STYLE OF NERl ECONOMICAL CooN
SToN AT THE PARIS EXHIBITION
A very old friend in a new dress appears a,
the Paris Exhibition in the form ot an apna-
ratuS Tor cooking, IN which neither gas, coat
wood. nor other tutl, aud not even electricity.
Is employed for the purpose. The only agency
used Is the heat of the Sun the solar rayS be-
ing concentrated by means OF condenSerS
and reflected by means of radiItors until
sufficient heat is enEendered 10 boil an egg
and even 10 cook a small loaf or piece of meat
The idea OF thus utilizing the solar rays is as
old as the sun Itself but Ii has not hitherto
been brought 10 such practical perfection IA.
10 place this source of heat within reach 81
the public al large. Whether the story of tho
destruction by ArchimpdeS of the Roman
fleet anchored in the harbor Of Syracuse by
means of the heat reflected from a number of
mirrors be true or false, The very fact of tbs
story having been circulated Is proof of tho
existence of desire 10 make use of some
such method of focusing the heat of the sun =
rays on any particular object Oay a few
years ago the proposal was revived by
Frenchman, who offered his government a
pan Tor destroying an enenys fleet by means
of burning mirrors at a distance of a mile.
These are instances OF the destructive Efforts
OF mans genius. Less ambitious, but more
useful have been the attempts OF Professor
Ericsson 10 drive steam engine by vapor
produced entirely by the concentration Of the
suns rays on boiler of water and now thers
is exposed 10 view at the Paris Exhibition an
apparatus for cooking by the same agency.
Experiments on A small scale have been made
with perfect success but the duration Of sun
snlne even In "a bettC France u 81 uncertain
as to prevent the hopes of any practical benefit
being derived from the clever invention. In
England, where week Of unciouded sunshine
is an unheard Of phenomenon, the apparatus
would be still more useless But in tropical
England, in those portions Of the British en-
pire which lie under the equator. in the West
Indies in Fiji, I'm India, in parts OF Australia
and in Africa, the intense heat of the suns
perpendicular rays might be turned 10 pracli-
cal account as a substitute for the undesirable
consumption OF fuel, adding its heat and
smoke TO the oyerladen sPhere.-I The
Colonies and India.

A MANS FIGHT WITH AN EAGLE-The Ba
kersviiie tN.C.) Republican of the l4eh in slant
tells he tOllOWiug:-"L Last week, while 4. j
Campbell was engaged digging wild ginger on
the side of the Roam, about one and a half
miles from ClOudland hotel, he found the nest
Of gray eagle in a fallen tree-top under the
Cliff OF the mountain. containing one young
eagle. While examining the nest and its con.
tents, suddenly he heard loud noise, aud be-
fore he could ascertain what it was, the old
eagle had struck him in the face with her bill
and claws, and taking circuit through the
air, alighted on tree about 200 yards distant,
but In plain view of the nest. Again the parent
bird made an attack, aiming at his head, but
he avoided her, and she struck him on the
arm, making slight wound. She returned to
her post of observation, but as soon as he at
tempted to touch the nest containing the
young eagle she made third attack, when
Mr.. Campbell struck her with stick and
brought her to the ground, where, after
severe struggle, he succeeded in killing her
She measured seven feet and two inches from
tip to tip of her wings. The male bird was not
seen. The place was wild, uufrequented
part OF the mountain. 1t has generally been
supposed that the eagle always built her nest
in the clefts of the rocks, but this one had her
nest in a fallen tree-top, some teet rom the
ground, but in a spot seldom visited by man
This bird Is the one known as the gray or bald
eagle.
