No Plural Marriages I'm Utah.
T ,lford Woodruff In the Independent

In your recent letter to me regarding
plural marriages you say: 1T is alleged
that the advice which you publicly gave to
the members of the church to refrain from
such marriages is not observed
In the so-called manifesto to which you
refer, said:
"Inasmuch as laws have been enacted
by Congress forbidding plural marriages.
which laws have been pronounced consti-
tutional by the court OF last resort, here
by declare my Intention to submit to those
laws and to use my influence with the
members of the church over which I pre-
side to have them do likewise"
This promise has been faithfully kept
and no cne has entered into plural mar
riage by my permission since the manifesto
was issued.
There never were laws, Of such a charac-
ter, affecting relations which had existed
nearly half a century, obeyed SO implicitly
and dutifully as those relating to plural
marriage have been: but cannot say that
every one who lived In plural marriage be-
fore the issuance of the manifesto has since
then strictly refrained from such associa-
tions. There Is state law, however
framed in almost the precise language OF
the Edmunds-Tucker law. to which all are
amenable.

Boston Dispatch to the Philadelphia Press
At Longwood, near Boston, last Monday
a solar engine Of ingenious construction,
which has been under construction for sew
eral months. was given highly successful
test with cold water in the boiler, the
formation Of steam being almost instantly.
The gauge registered a pressure of about
eighty-five pounds In half an hour, which
drove the engine steadily. doing the work
of about two-horse power.
The engine consists of three parts-a re-
flector, which concentrates the heat a cyl
inder for generating the steam and a de.
vice for keeping the suns rays constantly
in focus on the cylinder. In the machinl
set up at Longwood there Is a heavy iron
framework. which supports a series of
glass mirrors. arranged in semicirculaf
sheet twenty-five feet in diameter. This
mirror is nearly as high as it is wide, and
the framework on which it is placed is so
adjusted that IT will follow the sun In its
circuit. and may be adjusted by hand from
week to week to follow the declination of
the sun
This boiler is one of the peculiar features
of the solar machine. which would puzzle
any one unacquainted with heliodynamics.
1t is of copper, about eight irches in diam
eter and long as the curved mirrir, in
the focus of which it is placed. Owing to
the fact that that mirror is made UP of
innumerable facets of glass the cylinder
receives light on every part Of its surface,
cutting out any area of shadow at the
back and having the direct sunlight in
front.
