Numerous attempts have been made 10
utilize the heat of the sun as a source of
power and warmth. Several solar engines
have been constructed among which that
of Ericsson's Is the most notable. This Is
constructed on the principle of concave
mirror which concentrates the heat of
the sun upon small steam boiler placed
in its focus, and in pleasant weather it
woIks fairly well. Recently the heat of
the sun has been applied to the warm
ing of buildinge, by an apparatus invent
ed by Professor Il. S. Morse of the Pea
body Academy of Science, at Salem. II
consists of a shallow box, the bottom of
and the top of glass. This is placed ont
side the building in such position that
the sun shines directly upon it.. The heat
rays of the sun pass through the glass
and are absorbed by the iron heating il
to quite a high temperature. BY sys-
TEN of ventilation a current of air is
passed through the apparatus and into
the room to be heated. 1t was found
that on pleasant days the air was heated
to about 80 degrees in passing over the
iron and served TO materially increase the
temperature of the large museum hall of
the academy. The chief difficulty con
nected with all devices of this kind is,
that they are available only in fair
weather and during the numerous cloudy
days of our climate other ways of warm
ing must be provided. But in connec-
ton with the usual means of heating
Professor Morse's apparatus may serve
good purpose and effect a saving in the
amount of fuel usually consumed.

have failed to make up for tho absence oil

the barracks have been very small. This
has put the Captains aud Majors at their
wits ends, as small crowds mean email

evening which worked TO Q charm, how

clamations Of woe and coincidence; IL was
said that the Sslvationist had been felled

throng of people assembled. Then the
brothers picked up the fallen comrade and
carried him into the barracks. where he
