near being robbed of $500. Mr.. S.
who is constructing a public ditch in
that vicinity came to town and drew
out of one of the banks $500 in cur

his men. He took the afternoon
train for Oshawa and upon his arrival
there was informed by Mr.. McOuat
and the station agent, that four
strange men came out on the train be-
fore and had loitered about the sta.

the train. They had then separated,
two going in one direction and two in
another. Mr. Swensk started to walk
10 the home of E. j. Boys to hire q
team to take him to his ditch but
when part way there, saw the foul
men closing in on him. He started
and ran back towards the depot with

An Ingenious Motor.

An ingenious motor for the utiliza.
tion Of the heat rays Of the sun, gas,
or coal direct, thereby obviating the
necessity for intervening mechan-
ism of transformation, has been put
upon the market. 1t is said to be
the first motor to obtain useful rotary
mechanical energy direct from the
sun. A large corrugated drum is
filled with an expansible liquid Oh
gas. Inside the drum are vanes,
which, on being rotated by the ex-
pansion of the liquid or gas, COM
municate their motion to a pulley.
On putting the apparatus near a fire
or in the sun, where one side only OF
the drum is heated, or on applying a
gas jet, varied expansion is caused
inside the drum and the pulley
rotates fOrcibly.
