ALL REPUBLICS
MUST BE FAILURES,

What of the republic in France? 1t
thai at his moment even the best of our
experts are puzzled. But quite irrespec-
lively of family sympathies I should con-
slider it desirable for france to abandon
this third experiment at the republican
administration Of itself.
Perhaps l am wrong, perhaps I do not
take into consideration all that shout
bear upon the problem, but it seems to
me that France, that is in fact no country,
is ripe for trusting it's fate into the hands
of it's democracy.
There is no doubt that in the abstract
the republican idea presents itself as a
most alluring theory. But in practice
what do we see in all republics? And
to take France more particularly, what
has the republican rule effected here dur
ing the almost thirty years it has lasted?
Within, maladmin1stration from the
lowest Office to the highest, a general
feeling of dissatisfaction and insecurity.
Without, a sad loss of prestige.
We have the largest public debt of any
country. and the most abnormally swollen
current budget also. This evil of bor-
upon a corresponding increase in the ma
tiOnal wealth in the future to cop with
the debt, is a fair illustration of what the
irresponsible rashness of republican gov
ernments may do with impunity. French
men pay more taxes than any other citi-
zens in the world, and probably get least
returns.
Lawnaking (and the polite game TAX

benefit Of the nation: but today in our
poor country it would seem that the ma

These men never seek the good Of France,
but their own good. They make political
laws. not social laws.
This sort of constituencies gambling is
no new thing. But in recent years it has
been carried so far as to preclude abso-

If the statement of modern scientists
is not an idle dream the time is not
far distant when the great force that is
represented by the heat Of the sun will
be enslaved and made to do the bidding
of man.
Just as electricity has been captured;
just as the mighty Niagara has been
harnessed, the brain of man will yet find
a way to take advantage of the enormous
mount of energy that is now going to
waste. Then, WI are told, one will have
no further excuse for worrying about the
fading fuel supply. When this is done
there will be no further need for coal or
wood or oil and half the problems Of
manufacturing will have been settled for
ever and a day, as there is enough heat
going to waste every year to heat and
light every house and run every machine
from one end of the world to the other.
Visionary as such a scheme may
seem, it is really no more idealistic than
a dozen Of the great scientific achieve
ments hat have distinguished the nine
teenth century. The telephone and the
telegraph We're once just as visionary and
now every one is willing to believe that
we have only just commenced to imagine
h can be accomplished in the line Of
rapid communication.
When all this is taken into consider
alton he would be a bold man who would
dare to assert that it is impossible tina
this new feat shOuld be accomplished.
Already several inventors are at work
upon this problem, and there seems to
be a general opinion among scientists
that they will yet succeed in discov-
ering the secret for which they are
searching so diligently. One inventor who
claims that he has already solved the
problem is NJ. Mouchot, the professor Of
physics at the Tours Lyceum, France.
"A SOLAR CONDENSER.
The apparatus that he is now perfect
ing is called the 'solar condenser and
its construction is so simple that it is
claimed that a child can be taught how to
make use of it in five minutes. 1t con-
sists of a large conical shaped reflector,
made Of highly FURNISHED copper, which
has in it's center a boiler made Of tenn

whose slightest movements set in motion
various conducting wires which lead to
the reservoir in which the heat is stored.
The latter consists simply of a vast
quantity of sand, surrounded by a WOOL
en- covering, which is able to hold the
superiuous heat until such time as it
may be required. Other wires lead to
dynamos set at work by the solar heat,
concentrated and brought to a focus by
the solar condenser.

Letting this force in nature for it is gen
orally admitted that it Is the natural SUBJ
stitute for fuel. In 1882 a French inven-
tor named Abel Pifre. announced that
he had at last succeeded. He exhibited
| a machine that was capable of collecting
! sufficient heat to generate a limited
amount Of good steam. but the work
stopped at that stage and nothing fur
Their was heard of it.
This has been the result of several in
| ventions that have been made along these
lines and yet the inventors are not dis
couraged by the array of failures. They
realize that the heat is in the sun wait
ing for them to claim it, and they be-
lieve that they will yet succeed in over
coming all the obstacles in their path.
The amount of heat. or power, that is
theoretically available in this way is al
most beyond computation. Enough
could be obtained from the deserts alone
to operate all the machinery that could
be set up in q dozen worlds like this.
In fact, it has been estimated that it
would be possible to obtain enough pow
er from the rays of sunshine that fall
upon a territory the size of the state of
Rhode Island to operate all the machinery
that is now running on this planet.
GREAT HEAT IN SUN.
Ericsson once demonstrated that heat
enough to make one horsepower might
De developed from one square yard when
the suns rays fell perpendicularly
through a dry atmosphere, and if this
estimate is correct. from one square mile
enough power might be collected to make
as many horse-powers as there are yards
in a square mile, or So, 097, 600. At the
very most the city of London does not
use more than SOC, 900 horsepower, so
that it can be seen that the amount Of
power obtained from a single square
mile Of territory would be sufficient to
operate all the machinery used in three
of the largest cities of the world.
In fact, the possibilities of a machine
that will successfully utilize the heat
Of the sun, Transforming it's rays to
power, are almost beyond the ~ilmagina-
ton. The light Of the sum- is the
strongest known in degree of brightness.
Although 1t is more thar 95,OO0, 900 mikes
away. it far surpasses in radiance, any
artificial light that the brain of mar
has been able to invent. 1t Is more than
equal to fifteen hundred and seventy-fve
billions Of candle-power. candle-power
measure being the degree OF light fur
nished by a sperm candle. o~ne-sixteenth
Of a pound in weight. vr
So far as any utilization OF 1T in me-
chanics is concerned this vast power lis
being wasted. and 1t remains to be seen
if the mind of a human being can devise
any means by which this great waste
can be made to do the work of the world.

Save Combs of Honey.

At the closing up of the honey sea-
son we usually have a number Of
frames of comb honey not yet extract
ed, and it is a good plan to reserve
these combs for putting the bees in
good winter shape. This pays better
than feeding, and always makes the
bees self-sustaining. These combs of
honey, all well ripened and sealed up
during the honey season, are the best
and most healthy winter food, and the
bees are more liable to get a more
liberal supply than if we buy sugar
and feed them.
Not only should we have a good re-
serve of the combs in store for winter
ing but also for springing the bees.
In early spring they answer a good
purpose also, and are so much more
convenient. and at any time through
the winter when we find a colony
short of stores we can give them a
frame of honey, when in no other way
can we supply them. We will always
have our bees In better shape, and the
results from this plan of feeding will
be a better investment, in the long
run, than if we sell the honey and
feed sugar instead.
These combs may not be completed
and all sealed over but may only be
partially filed with honey, but are
all right for this purpose in this way,
and by placing them in empty hives
and covering them securely from mice,
they can be safely kept for a long
time. The best way to store such
combs is to place them in empty hives,
using the same number of frames as
we do when the bees occupy them, so
that the combs may not touch each
other, and thus stack them up one
hive on the top of another, using an
ordinary lid at the bottom, and also
one on top, which will inclose them
safely. All unfinished sections, or
those partly filled, may be kept for the
same purpose andsgiven the bees dur
ing early spring, when they will clean
them out in most cases before they
draw ON their honey in the brood
chamber. Some practice open-air feed
ing with these unfinished sections by
stacking them up and leaving but
small entrance to them.-A. II. Duff,

Fruit Ladders of Various Kinds.

Many serious accidents occur each
year in the picking of apples, cherries
and similar fruits, by the ladder turn
ing or tipping over sufficiently for the
picker to lose his balance and fall.
Nearly all of these accidents could be
avoided by the use of a ladder with
a broad base, with the ends widely
separated when resting upon the
ground, which will in measure pre-
vent sudden tipping.

strong, and for ordinary trees a lad

Washing Curds.

Nearly all cheese makers are trou-
bled at times with curds which have
an unpleasant flavor. Some have such
curds nearly all the time during hot
weather, while others have them but
occasionally. AS a remedy for such
curds it has been suggested to wash
them after milking with clean. pure
water at a temperature of ninety-ive
to 100 degrees. The plan of washing
is also recommended for fast working
curds.
Some Canadian cheese makers go
so far as to recommend washing all
curds, good, bad and Indifferent. One
man expressed this view at the Cheese
and Butter Makers Convention by say
ing: washing does a bad curd good
and a good curd no harm. The dairy
department of the Ontario Agricultu-
raj College took up the study of this
question of washing curds last spring.
Experiments are not yet completed,
but so far as carried out we would
appear to be justified in saying: Wash
ing curds of bad flavor improves them.
Washing fast working curds improves
them. Washing curds tends to de-
crease the yield of cheese. There is
danger in washing curds with impure
water. Indiscriminate washing of
curds is unnecessary, and is hard on
the average"-or, in other words, such
a practice makes unnecessary extra
labor, and requires more milk to make
pound of cheese. Curds should be
washed with brains as well as with
water.-Professo II. II. Dean, in Farm
and Home

A Woman to Be Pretty

Must have luxuriant glossy hair, no
matter what color. The finest contour
of a female face, the sweetest smile of a
female mouth, loses something if the
head is crowned with scant hair. Scant
and falling hair, it is now known, is
caused by parasite that burrows into
the scalp to the root Of the hair, where
it saps the vitality. The little white
scales the germ throws up in burrowing
are called dandruff. To cure dandruff
permanently, then, and to stop falling
hair, that germ must be killed. New
bros Herpicide, an entirely new result
of the chemical laboratory, destroys the
dandruff germ, and, of course, stops the
falling hair and cures badness. When
you kill the germ you can't have the
dandruff or thin hair. "Destroy the
cause, you remove the effect" 1916
