A Cooking Box of Wood

The various experiments made with
solar engines by the French in Algeria,
where the sun shines at all times and
with great power, have been attended
in some instances with marked success.
The best apparatus is stated to be a
simple arrangement of boiler and con-
cave mirror, the steam generated being
condensed in a coiled tube surrounded
by water, this being intended for dis
tilling water merely. But in India an in
ventor named Adams has contrived solar
machines by which more varied results
are accomplished. One of these is what
Is termed cooking box, made of wood
and lined with rejecting mirrors, at
the bottom of the box being a small
copper boiler, coveredl with glass to re-
tain the heat of the rays concentrated
by mirrors upon the boiler. In this con-
trivance any sort of food may be quick
ly cooked, the result being a stew or
boil If the steam is retained, or if al
lowed to escape it is bake The heat
with this device may be augmented
indefinitely by increasing the size of
the box.-Philadelphia Public Ledger,

A SMART LANDLADY
Detects Confederate Bills and Tele.
phones to the Police


Last night about 9 o'clock two young
men walked in Fluer's lodging house at
the corner Of Also and Los Angeles
streets and inquired for room. The
landlady told them that they might
have room for $3.50 per week. They
agreed to take it at this price and the
larger man, who had done all the talk
irg, produced SO bill for payment Of
weeks rent in advance. The woman
recognized the bill as confederate cur
rency. She took it and told the men to
wait in the hall until she could get the
change. Going into the office, she tele-
phoned to the police station and Officer
Ben Robbins was sent down on bicycle.
He arrived just as the men, who had
evidently grown suspicious at the de-
lay, were coming down the stirway.
Officer Matuskewitz had Joined Robbins
on the way. When they were seen by the
crooks, as they reached the landing, the
smaller man started to run, but was
overtaken He gave his r.ame as John
Moore. His companion, who had done
all the talking, registered at the city
Jail as Harry Roche. The former is
believed to be Whittier escape. On his
underclothing appears the label &c, No.

ton.

Pepper Struggled in Bicycle Tires

The smugglers latest aid in amassing
wealth by cheating the revenue offic-
ers of their due is the bicycle. The
smugglers who haunt the border be-
tween France and Belgium are the most
audacious in the world, and many are
the schemes they have resorted to in
smuggling goods over the border. In
France the price Of pepper is so out
rageously high that 1t is almost stricken
off the list of commodities. Neverthe-
less, quantities of it have been smuggled
across, and the revenue officers were
unable to detect the manner in which ii
was done. Some tacks, placed on the
road by mischievous boy, revealed the
scheme the other day. The tire exploded
with a LOUD report, and 10! instantly the
air was filled with choking binding
pungent dust, which the reverue officers
had no difficulty in recognizing as pep
per of the strongest kind. The SNUG
gler tried to escape while they We're
clearing their eyes of pepper. but was
seized.-New York Evening Journal

THE ANTI-HITCHERS
Will Move in Body Upon the Board
of Public Works

That the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' association intends to press the
snti-hitching ordinance and Impress the
council with the necessity for some such
move is apparent from the preparations
being made by that organization for a
concerted move on the board of public
works today. Secretary Zeehandelaar
yesterday mailed to all members postal
card reading as follows and calling for
a gathering of anti-hitching forces for
battle:
1.-The time has arrived when the mer-
chants of this city must assert their
rights and carefully guard their inter
ests as citizens and taxpayers. Our pub
lie thoroughfares can no longer be made
public stables. Show by your presence
that you are interested in the work that
is now being done by this association.
Proceed on Friday morning with the
committee to the city hall and convince
the board of public works that you de-
mand that this city shall no longer have
the appearance of little village.

ToNIGHT's BOXING
A Good Program for Lovers of the
Manly Art

A Good Program for Lovers of the
Manly Art
One battle of heavy weights one Of
light weights, each for fifteen rounds and
two preliminaries compose the program
for the sparring tournament at Haz-
ards pavilion tonight, which is to be
held under the auspices of the Southern
California Athletic club. Capital as
were the fights of Tuesday night, those
tonight promise to be even better. The
principal event of the evening is the fif-
teen-round go between Joe King of San
Francisco and Jack Carter Of Omaha.
The latter Is somewhat like Tom Shar-
key in his ability to stand punishment,
but unlike Sharkey in that he has the
reputation of being fair fighter, and
very clever with his hands. These men
are said to have personal differences,
which may cause a better contest than
if they were only spurred by the hope Of
winning the purse.
The light weight fight will be between
Bob Thompson, colored, Of Salt Lake
City and Kid Parker Of Denver. Thomp-
son will be the favorite in the betting.
He is in excellent condition, and it is
more than possible that the bout may
not last fifteen rounds.
Whitesides and Green, who appeared
Tuesday night, want a return match,
and it will be given them. Green will
be at decided advantage in this con-
test, both in weight and reach. The
men will enter the ring for the first fight
at $3.50 o'clock.
