It has repeatedly been proposed to
make use Of, the enoGRous power issu-
ing from the sun. in, the shape Of beat
rays. What enormous amount Of labor
Is done by the sun on this earth alone
Is evidenced in part by the circulation
of water on the earth's surface. Every
day he heat Of .therGpn turns into
yapor a large amountu water on all
the watery surfaces, and these rising
Eapors are far above us converted into
clouds, which the cool currents of air
carry overland to countries which are
not blessed with plenty of the fluid
element, and upon further condensa-
ton the clouds in the shape of rain
fall, upon the earth. In smaller or
larger quantities water streams again
toward the sea, and during this course
man undertakes to withdraw from the
water part OF the stored-up power OF
the sun, using it for industrial pur-
poses. The Paris meteorological, Prof.
Metericht, estimates the quantity OF
water turned into varor By tie sun in
the Mediterranean sea alone on q clear,
hot summer day mt not less than $780,
9 5000 tons. At that rate the quantity
Of water taken from the entire globe

temperate and tropical zones would

Thorn had been led back to his

trial Thorn had been under the

OF Flushing. Captain Methven
had him under his watchful eye
when the Jail officials searched
the cell Thorn is to occupy for a
