The long trestle Of the Richmond,
Petersburg and Carolina railroad now
almost extends. across James river An-
other span has been laid and the work
is progressing rapidly. The track to
Ridgeway, N. C., from Richmond IS, also,
almost completed. The work on the

scene from many points Of view.
The track will come into Richmond be-
low the Southern's freight depots, while
that of the Chesapeake and Ohio crosses
oblong the yards Of the Southern Rail-
way at this point.
The work on the piers has been great
ly impeded, owing to an Inability to get
the stone used in the construction Of
same. Some of the stone comes from
Kentucky and some from the Ohio river,
near Huntington. The contractors say
it is very difficult to get this stone during
the winter months, as the quarrying of
the same is rendered almost impossible.
1t is likely to he some time in the spring
before the pier work can be completed.
If the stone could be gotten, the work
on the piers could be finished within five
or six weeks.

ing the sun the rest goes by itself. A
lever enables the reflector to be moved
backward and forward horizontally,
while a toothed rack, by setting in motion
two cogs. elevates or depresses it verti-5
cally The heat converges upon the re-
Hector from all directions and this sheats
soon sets the dynamos going. The super
fluous heat is then conducted to the nom
conductor. n
AT present the only fault that Pro-
lessor A1oucl1ot has been able to find
with his machine is that it cannot be
used in every part of the world. In
France, for instance, he has only been
able to collect enough heat to enable
him to grill "a few outlets or cook a
bowl of soup. What the machine re-
quires is country where the sun
shines uninterrupted1y through dry air.
If 1t could he operated on the African
deserts it would accomplish wonders.
Up to the present time, therefore,
Professor N1oucllot has only succeeded in
proving that lle has discovered the cor.
rect principle. He has invented a ma
chine that will collect heat, but he has
not been able to prove that it can be put
xo actual use.
A HEAT BOTHER.
Another inventor who claims that he
has succeeded in making a machine that
will bottle up the heat of the sun IS
William Calver, of Washington. Already
he has taken out many patents upon his
invention, and The claims that he will
soon be able to show The world Of science
that he has accomplished the feat that
has 50 long been regarded as impossible
Mr.. Calvcr explains that his machine
utilizes the heat and light of the sun IN
such a way that the portion Of the
solar rays which is poured down on a
'givea space during cloudless weather
may be stored up for the future and be-
taken advantage Of on dark or cold days.
In claiming to do this he goes a step be-
yond the French inventor. He insists.
however, tn u he can turn out this power.
III such quantities that machinery, which
must now he run with steam generated
by a fire, can be made to operate by
the use of this stored heat, and that it is
possible for this force to accomplish
every purpose to which fire under a
boiler is now put.
While the details of Mr.. Calvers ma.
chine are fully given in the. papers filed
in the patent Office, the description is
OF too technical a character to be of in
terest. Whether 1t will accomplish
the purpose for which it Is devised or
will take its place in the list of failures
remains for time to demonstrate.
This is by no means the first time.
however that men of inventive mind
have attempted to solve this problem.
For more than half a century scientists
have been trying to find some means of
collecting this force in Nature, for it is
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1900-01-28

generally admitted that it, the nat
ural substitute for fuel. IN Z. leS3 a
French inventor named Abel Pifre an
nounced THAT he had at last succeeded.
He exhibited machine that was capa-,
BILE of collecting sufficient heat to gem
crate a limited amount of good steam,
bnt the work stopped at that stage ana
nothing further was heard of 1t.
This has been the result OF several
inventions that have been made along
: these lines and yet the inventors are
not discouraged by the array. Of fall
tires. They realize that the heat IS in
the sun waiting for them to claim 1t.
and they believe that they will yet sue
coed in overcoming all the obstacles in
their path.
The amount of heat, or power, that
is theoretically available in this way is
almost 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
power 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 "lSIit
be developed from one square yard when
the SUMS 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-pcwers as there are yards
in a, square mile, or 3,097 GOO. lat the
very most the city of London does not
use more than 100000 horsepower, so that
it can be seen that the amount of power
obtained from q 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 machine
that will successfully utilize the heat of
the sun, Transforming its rays to power,
are almost beyond the Imagination. The
light of the sun is the strongest known
In degree of brightness. Although II
is more than ninety-five million miles
away, it far surpasses in radiance any
artificial light that the brain of man has
been able to invent. It Is more than
equal to fifteen hundred and seventy-hVe
billions of candle-power. candle-power
measure being the degree of light fur
nished by sperm candle one-sixteenth
of pound in weight.
so far as any utilization OF it in me-
chanics is concerned this vast power IS
being wasted, and it remains to be seen
If the mind Of a human beirE can devise
any means by which this great waste
can be made to do the work OF the
world.

q the statement Of modern scientists
rs not an idle dream the time is not
Ear distant when the great force that
rsas represented by the heat of the sun
will be enslayed 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
End way to take advantage Of the
enormous amount Of energy that is
now going TO waste. Then, we are tod.
one VIII have no further excuse for
sTorrying about the fading fuel supply.
fWhen this Is done there will be no
further need for coal or wood or Gil
and half the problems of manu.a:tur-
ing will have been settled forever and
a day, as there IS enough heat gong
10 waste every year to heat all Light
cVery house and run every machine
from one end of the world to the othe-
Visionary as such a scheme may seem.
ds IS really no more idealistic than
dozen OF the great scientific achievements
that have distinguished the nineteenth
century The telephone and the tele-
graph were once just as visionary and
NOW every one IS willing to believe that
we have only just commenced to imagine
what can be accomplished in the line Of
rapid communication.
When all this is taken into consdera-s
tion he would be a bold man who would
dare to assert that 1t is impossible that
this new feat should be accomplished.
Already several inventors are at work
upon this problem, and there seems to
be general opinion among scientists that
they Will Yet succeed in discovering the
secret for which they are searching so dill
igently- One inventor who claims that he
has already solved THE problem Is M
Mouchot. the professor Of physics at the
Tours Lyceum, France.
A SOLAR CONDENSER.
The apparatus that he IS now perfectlng
Is called the solar condenser and Its
construction Is SO simple that it is claim
ed that a child can be taught how to
make use Of It in five minutes. 1t con-
s;sts Of a large conica1 shaped reflector
made OF highly FURNISHED copper, which
has In its center a boiler made OF temper
ed glass. There is also a steam engine
whose slightest movements set in motion
various conducting wires which lead 10
the reservoir in which the heat is stored.
The latter consists simply of a vast guam
tity OF sand. surrounded by wpollen
covering which ds able to hold the super
fl,tous heat until such time as it may be
required. Other wires lead to dynamos
set at work by the solar heat, concen'rat-
al and brought to a focus by the solar
I condenser.
