government will not consent to the re

from Pekin until there is free cOmmuni-

It is emDhatically stated that unless
such messages are exchanged the Unit

production of heat, and not only the pro-
duction but the storing of il as we'll 81
that the greatest buildings in any cif,,
can be heated at slight cost and with

The plan for heating is 10 concentrate

cold is now stored. A chamber OF this
Kind can be put in every large building
ana the heat piped from il wherever and
whenever needed. The possibilities OF this
invention in this field alone staggers fhs
imagination.
Use Plate Glass.
The simple principle upon Which all
this IS based, continued Mr.. ShaFn ~is
the focusing of the suns rays with glass.
DuJ the method used is different from all
others in the past. Last February a
trenchman named Tautroe Was e10eri-
menting in Seattle with pieces Of slate
glass and made this valuable discovers.
Iautroe has had d fine scientific educs-
tiOn In this country and France. He Is A
civil and military engineer by profession
and has already made a number Of valu-
able scientific discoveries. but nothing To
compare with his last one
After he discovered. accidentally that
he could focus the suns rays without the
aid OF a lens, that is, with straight pieces
OF plate glass. he began experimenting
AS result he constructed q little ma
chine with plates of glass ten inches
square with which he was enabled TO
perform some wonderful feats. One Of
these, which l witnessed. was to set d
tea kettle on a cake Of ice out on the
roof of his house thirty feet from his
machine, and cause the ice cold water TO
boil in less than four minutes Another
was TO set fire II a board almost in
stantly at the same distance.
Great Value in War.
Later Mt. TaUtrOe constructed a larger
machine on the same principle with plates
OF glass thirty inches square. and thus
multiplied his power to so wonderful an
extent that We at once laid the matter
before the war and navy departments Of
the general government. assured that
such a discovery would be Of the greatest
value in war, especially such a war as
that now going on in China.
THE secret of this wonderful power IS
locked NJ in the brain of the inventor
and il was our first thought, that so far
as il could be used as an element Of de-
structiOn, II must be preserved exclusive
~ for the home government. But out
side OF that We propose TO at once utilize
the secret TO our own advantage
