the orange trees are purely ornamental.
They are not over two feet high, and
bear small oranges, unfit to eat. The
larger ones. the tallest being about five
feet six inches, bear luscious, juicy o.

a Maconi press. which ran by this
means all the afternoon, printing 800
copies of a paper which was called the
Journal of the Sun. @4
Mr.. Calver, who has taken out many
patents for his invention, says his ma
chine will store up the radiant energy
from the sun. which is delivered in such
vast quantities in bright weather, and
release it in any desired quantities on
dark nights and cold days. This bot
tied sunshine, which is caught by the
meShes of science in the summer, can
be put away in the store room, just as
canned goods are now kept, and it will
be on tap in January. The details of
| the machine are fully given in the
| specifications of the patent. but are
| too technical to be of popular inter-
! est.
| The possibilities of a machine that
| will successfully utilize the rays of the
| sun, Transforming heat to power, are
! almost beyond the imagination. In
! stead of gas bills and electric light bills
| to worry the householder, all he would
! have to do would be to see that the
! sunshine machine had taken advantage
! of the rays that warmed the days of
| June. From the store of sunshine thus
accumulated he could supply his
/ kitchen range and his parlor stove with
! heat He could apply the power de-
! rived from the stored rays to running
| motor that would accomplish Won
ders in household duties. He could
illuminate his house as brilliantly as
| he pleased every night in the week
| without the dread thought that the
| neVer-tiring meter in the cellar was
eating up his income.
| Applied to transportation, the sun
shine machine offers too a Wondrous
horde of advantages. Heretofore tho
great problem of the aerial naviga-
| tor-alI inventors are potentially aerial
| navigators- been to find a motor
the weight of which will not keep his
ship from sailing on the breezes. Elec-
| trio motors and the lightnesS of
aluminium have held out glowing prom
ises, but how much more could be ac-
complished with stored sunshine.
Railroads, with no coal to buy, could
declare large dividends. Farmers, able
to dispense with horses, could drive
their plows and thrashing ma
chimes with stored sunshine
and could go to market on
week days and to church or
Sundays with old Sol safely hitched to
the farm conveyances.
| If the invention of Mr.. Calver proves
to be all he claims for it, the art Of wal
! NAV we'll be revolutioniZed. No longer
| will il be necessary for the maritime
| nations to have coaling stations, and
| no longer will wars be fought over the
possession of small islands valuable
only for such purposes. When each
nlan-of-war carries its own machine
for condensing the suns rays a Vesse

Improvements" The business of the
country was then carried on over wa

carried by canal boats and stages, and
the proposition to improve this pabic
service in the interior was one of the
very greatest moment. There We're

| During his term of office there came
a general demand for extra appropri-

was also being sandbagged by lot of

thing in sight, he vetoed the appropri-
alton bill. This brought about such a
| great sweeping storm of alleged indig-
nataion that in light of the fact that he
was to be a candidate in 1S40 he felt
that something must be done. He
properly attributed most of the disap-
prevail to the sandbagging contractors

of investigation. incidentally it may
be added that the trip was the frs
one made by any president into tn,
