4 SUCCESSFUL SUN-MOToR.

| There have been so many failures in
sun-motors that it was not surprising
that when the report came from Cali
| fornia a few weeks ago that there was
| a sun-motor in successful operation
there wise men looked wise and doubt
full. Later reports show that the ma
chine is actually doing good work.
This motor lifts fourteen hundred gall
Ions of water per minute, and is equiv
alent to somewhat over ten horse pow
er. 1t consists of reflector about
thirty-four feet in diameter on top and
fifteen feet on the bottom. The inner
surface is made up of 17SS small mir
rors all arranged SO that they concen-
trate the heat of the sun upon the CEN
trail or focal point. AT this point is
suspended the boiler, the steam from
which is carried in flexible phosphor-
bronze tubes to the engine, from which
it returns again to the boiler, so that
the Doller is kept automatically full.
The reflector turns by clockwork, and
keeps pace accurately with the sun all
day. The amount of heat concentrated
at the focal point of the reflector can
not be realized, for nothing can be seen
but a cloud of escaping steam; but,
should man climb upon the disk and
cross it, he would be burned to a crisp
in a few seconds. Copper placed In the
focal point is melted in a minute, and
a pole of wood thrust into the magic
circle flames up like match. During
days of sunshine the motor will begin
to work an hour after sunrise, and will
continue until half an hour before sum
set. The motor is apparently in every
way success for the purpose for which
it is intended, that of pumping water
for the irrigation of arid lands.

noon was well attended. and harmoni-
Gus. 1t was decided to attempt no po-
lice legislation at this session, and the
meeting adjourned subject to the call
of Senator Plat when there exists a
situation warranting such a CALL
On the face of it, it looks as If Gov
ernor Odell has shown considerable in
dependence and good sense. We hope
he has. Whether the incident marks
the turning point in the career Of Platt
as boss remains to be seen. He is an
old man and may be losing the grip
he will have to lose sometime even if he
isn't losing it now. If there is to be
change in bosses in New York the signs
will soon be plain. Plat has had long
and successful reign, and his successor,
If there is to be one, will have his hands

THE Pr ESIsNT MARK EFT VALUE

The Lawful Principle of Assesszn ent.
To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
Mr. Wallace's latest communication
has received my close attention, and on
careful analysis of all his communities
lions, T think the origin of our differ
ence Of opinion Is simply that he for
gets that the law provides that assess
ments on real estate. as well as other
property, shall be at its present mark
ct value"
If he will consider this fundamental
point with the same care that I have
read his Illustrations, I think he will
see that this is the difference, because
all his Illustrations depend upon an
assumption that real estate ought to be
assessed at far higher value than it
will sell for. This, I maintain, cannot
be done without violating the existing
law.
He assumes that a house and lot
worth $4,000 will not sell for more than
So, 900. To comply with the law, If it
will not sell for more than $4,000, it
should not be assessed for any more
than that. The existing law does not
provide for any consideration of cost
of building but present market value"
only.
Mr.. Wallace says: Real estate men
tell the writer that 1t takes two or three
years to sell $4,000 piece of property,
so as to get what it is worth" I reply,
that if it takes two or three years to
get 100000 for II, then that is not its
present market value"
Real estate men frequently set an
asking price on property, and after try
ing to get It for two or three years,
they sell 1t to a cash buyer for much
less than their asking price. The ask
ing price, therefore, is not the present
market value" Stock of corporations,
merchandise or any kind of personal
property is moi, assessed for any more
than it will sell for, namely present

THE TAX RILL.
.1,st Of Some of It's Supporters

|
To the Editor of the Journal and Courier
| The Committee on Legislation VIII
thank you to print the below extract
from the Register.
! We regret causing the calamity to the
one hundred and twenty-five gentlemen
whom the Register calls 'Mr. RoWe's
Supporters Of mourning the below I'M
favorable opinion of the editor of the
Register. We can only hope that they
will sustain the shock with the same
fortitude which has borne us up under
the bombardment of 234 inches, or over
10 feet Of double loaded editorials dur
ing the past three months.
He shows that he estimates the opn-
ions of these 1876 citizens at less than
their market value" by tucking them
away among the advertisements while
his own opinions are double loaded as
usual.
We offer for comparison two state
ments of the editor:
Flrst-When he wished to convey the
impression that the bill had only one
friend he said:
1.-THE bill is essentially a one man
act" 1--WE have)not the slightest doubt
that If he We're to withdraw his intense
personal interest in the bill, which he
knows how to skifully exert, it would
cease to be necessary to oppose it,
(Register, March 11th)
But when he wished to express his
poor opinion of my advocacy he says:
THE Rowe bill is entirely inadequate
and to this understanding no one has
contributed more lavishly than MIR.
Rowe. u Register, March 2Oth,)
Nowif the bill is no good and has only
one advocate, and he is worse than none,
why has the editor expended 234 inches,
or over 10 feet of editorials to try to kill
it. and finally admits in yesterdays edi-
torial that THE situation has become
critical" At the same rate how many
more feet and inches of editorials will
be required to secure the passage of
the bill?

| The Europeans have been little slow
| in approaching the good food that can
be made out Of United States corn, but
they are gaining on it. The Paris ex-
position did much to show them and
| convince them. The American corn
kitchen at the exposition was attended
| with remarkable results. Thousands of
bushels Of corn were cooked into appe-
| tizing dishes of various kinds and given
| to visitors who had read that the stuff
was fit only for food for pigs. A Chi
cago man who makes speciality of
canning corn received an order from
Paris the other day for ten thousand
cans of his best grade of canned corn.
Paris the cost of corn meal in that city
was about ten to twelve cents pound.
1t could then only be obtained at a few
stores, where it was kept for wealthy
Americans, the Parsians regarding 1t
as both unwholesome and extremely I'M
palatabe. Within few months after
the exhibit was under way the price
had dropped to six cents pound and
the meal could be bought at almost ev-
cry store in Paris where groceries were
kept for sale. The demand among the
natives for American corn in various
preparations is growing every month
and promises to continue. Some Of our
export houses have established a per-
manent trade with firms in Paris and
other parts Of France, as well as Ger
many, Norway, Sweden and other
European countries,
1t is a pity the Europeans have gone
so long without the good things in the
corn line they might have had, but they
are to be congratulated on arriving,
though late.

THE TALUE OF GOOD ROADS.

Those who do not know how valuable
good roads are will find instruction in
some facts and figures that are set forth
by the road experts Of the Agricultural
department. From careful investiga-
lions and experiments they have made
estimates of the relative tractile power
of a horse on different surfaces, from
which may readily be seen the differ
ences made to the man who uses the
horses labor in his business. The load,
they tell us, that one horse can move on
iron rails on level road requires a
horse and half on level asphalt pave
ment, three and a half horses on the
best Belgian block pavement, seven
horses on cobblestones, twenty horses
on ordinary dirt roads and forty horses
on sand

produce ranges from SO to SO miles,

HENRY c. RowEs SUPPORTERS.

| HENRY C. ROWES SUPPORTERS.
To the Editor Of The Register: Sir;
In your Friday editorial note you
quote Mr.. Rowe's statement in the
Journal and Courier as follows:
This bill is direct and simple way
to correct and prevent fragrant over-as-
sessments. How 1t will work is mat
ter of sound business judgment and
practical sagacity. The editor of The
Register assumed, in the first place,
that he possessed more of the above
qualities than the scores of successful
business men and lawyers, members of
the Chamber of Commerce, who prepar-
ed, recommended and APPROVED this bill
after weeks of study
You then issue the following chal-
lenge:
Passing over the gallant reference
have at once the names Of those scores
of successful business men and lawyers
who are associated with Mr. Rowe in
this legislative enterprise"
This being direct challenge we have
decided after conference to crafty YOU
by presenting for publication on your
editorial page list of about six score
persons, being a portion of those who
have publicly signifed their approval of
the Chamber of Commerce bill, for re-
lief from excessive assessments. Among
them you will observe the names of
three score prominent business men
and lawyers, but we also include about
three score of taxpayers, who pay taxes
on comparatively small amounts.
We do this as an effective answer to
your reiterated attempts to create op-
position to the BILL by the improved
claim that this bill Is not adapted to
the RELIEF of the smaller owners. We
show that you have not succeeded In
prejudicing the smaller owners against
the bill by claim of class legislation and
poor man. The owners of small prop
critics agree with the Chamber of Com
merce that this bill does not discrimi-
nate, but reduces assessments to the
present market value" whether prom
erty be large or small.

In lecture delivered at Columbian

1t is going no one can tell. Mr.. New
comb does not believe instruments will
ever be discovered that will allow
astronomers to prove that rational in
habitants exist on other planets. The
only way in which they can judge will
be by conditions of other planets which
would make it probable or improbable
that rational beings such as are on the
earth can live there. Mars may be in
habited, but astronomers have not been
able to draw any evidence on that sub
ject one way or the other. What
changes may come to the earth, the

be matters of uncertain speculation.

An interesting discussion has broker
out in Chicago. John B. Beattie has
filed written protest against the clos
ing Of the public schools on Good Fri
day. 1t is not right, he says, that his
children should lose a days schooling
because of the recurrence of a relig-
ious anniversary having no meaning
nor sanctity for their father or for any
other citizen Of his way of thinking.
Trustee Loesch backs up the protest.
Good Friday he says, concerns only the
Roman Catholics, Episcopalians and
Lutherans, and the board has no right
to enforce any sort of observance Of the
day upon little Presbyterians, Metho-
dists Baptists, Unitarians, Jews, and
Free Thinkers. Trustee Sexton thinks
q majority of the Chicago school chill
dren come from homes in which the
day is held in reverence. 1.-THE schools
