A WASHINGTON man named DIR. VIM.
Carver, claims to have discovered a
way to make power by utilizing the
light and heat of the sun. He pro-
poses to collect these for use by day
and by night to do mans drudgery at
practically no cost to make it hew his
wood and draw his water, run his rail-
roads, furnish his light and heat to
cities, oropel vessels across the ocean
in short, to substitute it everywhere
for the present use of coal and wood
and other fuels.
81 believe, in fact, 1 know" said he,
in answer to question, ''that | have
solved the problem of the direct con-
version of the suns rays into heat,
which can be used on a far cheaper
commercial basis than coal. 1 have
also devised a method for the storage
of this heat, so that it can be used at
any desired time and place. l feel
that beyond doubt have settled for
ever the question of the actual com
merclal harnessing of the direct rays
of the sun and of their adaptation to
the needs of man"

On the Menu In Chile

For several days | noticed the word
''panqueque" upon the bill of fare at
the hotel and did not know what it
was. There is a brand of wine from
one of the Chilian vineyards with that
name. and | supposed it was perhaps
the same thing referred to. although
it was difficult to understand why it
should appear among the desserts on
the menu at the dinner table and on
the bills of fare for breakfast. The
best way to find out about such things
is to try them. and the next morning.

dered a ''panqueque." which, to our
amaZement, was an ordinary griddle-

pancake. | called the attention of the
head waiter to the discovery, and he
seemed quite astonished. He could
speak English well and clA lined to be

Therefore he did not see anything un-
usual in my discovery, and | rather
think he wrote the bill of fare himself,

The Regulars" have their primary
on Saturday to elect delegates to the
State Convention on the 21st. This
matter of holding two Republican
Conventions causes Dr. r. G. Layton to
say:
"The spectacle of divided Republi-
can party, because of clashing am
bitions and personal animosities while
in perfect accord in all matters ofparty
principles nationally, and in the State,
is one that cannot commend itself to
any person of calm judgement. If the
two Republican organizations radically
disagreed upon natural issues, or upon
matters effecting the vital interests of
our own State, it would be reasonable
to differ; and if the variances of plans
or purposes were sufficiently diver
gent, and at the same time grave
enough in character to justify con-
tinued contention, there would be and
could be, no expectation of future
union. Such is not the case. Nation
ally the Union Republicans are as
earnest and sincere in their devotion
to the national Republican party, to
its purposes and designs as Republi-
cans anywhere. While the contrary
has been charged, it was only done
from a partisan motive, and to make
political capital.

1t is commonly understood that one
of the newspapers of New York city
has a rule to employ none but college
graduates ON it's staff. 1t may or it
may not be true. Nevertheless a young
man of good address, bringing with
him excellent recommendations and
equipped for journalistic work by sew
eral years experience, called one day
at the editorial office of that paper.
He made so good an impression that
the managing editor was about to as
sign him a place on the staff when, as
if remembering something he had over
looked in examining the applicant, he
suddenly asked:
''By the way, of what college or uni
versity are you a graduate?"

all Europe and America call
it ideal.
Other makers have tried to
make Lansdowne, but without

DIR. BOIIeS'
" PENNSYLVANIA"

"A PLAIN story OF the lie and
growth of the Commonwealth
from 1909 to I79O-a great
theme most capably treated by
the master hand of Albert S.
Bolles, Ph. d., Ii. d., Lee
turer in the University of
Pennsylvania and Haverford
College. To the preparation
of this work he brought first of
all singularly fine equipment,
including a capacity for faith
ulresearch which reveals itself
not ostentatiously in every
chapter-and a narrative style
of which the chief charm is its
unaffected simplicity.
The work is in two parts; (;
the first treats of William Penn
and the Provincial Governors;
politics and the early wars;
causes of the Revolution; the
part of the Pennsylvania sol
diery therein and all the mat
ters of the succeeding peace
till the adoption of the second
Constitution in 1890.
The second part treats of
immigration; land and labor;
trade and manufactures; local
government; highways and
transportation; climate and
health; society, dress and
amusements; education and
literature; science and inven-
ton; architecture and fine arts
in Pennsylvania.
This summary shows the
comprehensive nature of the
work, but gives no hint of its
picturesqueness and its rich
ness in State lore. No page
that any well-informed Penn
SVlVanian or American will
want to skip. Lots of pages
that the Philadelphia will
find fascinating by their local
charm. One chapter tells how
Penn bought the site of the
city from three Swedish broth
ers and how he laid it out:
! Two streets were to front the twOrivers,
/ connected by an avenue one hundred feet
! in width, adorned with trees and gardens.
At a right angle with this, which was to
/ be called High street, was Broad street
of equal width. The city, therefore. was
to be divided into four sections. In the
center public square of ten acres was
reserved, and in the middle of each quar-
ter a similar square of eight acres for the
| pleasure and recreation of posterity
Eight streets, each of them fifty feet
wide were to parallel Broad street. Penn
encouraged the building of detached
houses, with grass and plants around
them. He was desirous of having "a
green country town."

Mr.. Major. the famous cement man. of New
York. explains some very interesting facts about
Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard article
know that IL Is many hundred per cent better
tn an other cements for which similar claims are
made, but great many do not know why. The
simple reason Is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other manufac-
turers do not use them, because they are too eN-
penSive and do not allow large profits. Mr..
Major tells us that one Of. the elements of his
cement costs So 75 a pound. and another costs
81 IS gallon. while large share of the so called
cementS and liquid glue upon the market are
nothing more than sxteen-cent glue. dissolved

Of cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retailS at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents a bottle. and when dealer
tries to sell substitute you can depend upon IL
that his only object is To make larger profit
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought To make on any cement. And
this is dOubly true In view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefits of Mr..

5000 a month. throughout the country. Is
