II is generally believed that when tho at
mosphcrc OF room is impure the fact viii
be sufficiently noticeable to person OF
normal sonstiycnoss without the aid OF anc
instrument to inform him of the fact. That
this is not so however, Is evident to any one
who remembers how the sufrocatiug doors OF
an overcrowded meeting room Impress their
dsagrccablC presence on q person coming In
from the pure outside air. while. to all ap.
pearances the persons In the room are quito
unaware OF the air being bad
To remedy this state OF things and show
just how bad or otherwise the atmosphere Of
a room IL. a Swiss inventor has Just COM
plctod an instrument which shows the exact
condition OF the air. 1t consists of an air
tight glass receptacle, In which ~ placed
red liquid bent glass tube Is inserted
into this fluid and up this tube the fluid
runs to drop at the rate OF one drop in two
minutes onto a cord that is stretched by
weight. This fluid possesses the property Of
changing color when submitted to the action
of Carhonic acid gas. The more OF this GAS
there is in the air the more pronounced the
change in the color OF the fluid.
with this fact in mind the principle on
which the indicator works Is easily under
stood The drops OF fluid, as they fall on the
string, change 1t according TO the condition
OF the atmosphere.
should the atmosphere be perfectly pure
the string remains red all the way down.
Should 1t be Slightly tainted the ton of tho
string appears white. The foulcr the air the
longer the white mark on the string BY tho
SIDE OF the string runs an Indicator, graded
to show the exact condition of the air The
highest point on the scale marks pure"
the next ''passably pure" the next bad"
and extremely bad"
The instrument has been thoroughly tested
ana found to work perfectly.

When we sit in front Of coal fire and
snjoy its generous warmth, do we realize
that the heat and light of the burning
coal are really sunshine that has been
stored up for agesf Such is the fact.
Centuries ago the sun shone ON the
earth, and plants and trees grew, fell
and grew again. They were covered by
geologic deposits and acted upon by
great heat and pressure, until in the
course Of years or ages these broad lay
ers Of organic matter were transformed
into coal. The coal thus represents the
work done by the sunshine years ago,
and when it is burned the imprisoned
solar energy is loosened again.
Our system Of power production de-
ponds upon this presence Of energy. But
coal is a wasteful source of energy.
Even the best engines do not utilize
over 10 per cent of the calculated energy
OF the heat Of coal, and besides this it
is an inconvenient thing in many ways.
1t has TO be mined. freighted and stored.
Can we not find some more economical
way Of using the sun energy?
During the last few years the great
progress in electrical science has enabled
man TO utilize the solar heat in q
thriftier way. During its days work
the sun draws up large amount Of
water from the oceans and the damp
earth. BY the action of its rays plant
life fiourishes, and plants draw from
the ground and evaporate into the air
largo amounts Of water. Thus an oak
tree of average size. with 10000
leaves. lifts from the earth into the air
about 1913 tons Of water during the five
months it displays its foliage. This
evaporated water, sooner or later, falls
as rain, and by the action Of gravity be-
gins TO flow downward Thus the great
rivers are fed. Round and round inces-
sanity goes the water lifted by the tire
less sun to fall when deserted by him,
and again to be lifted, and again to fall
and run seward as long as it may exist
upon this earth. North American Re
view.
