the desired surface and mounted on a
 clock work base that will keep the rays of the sun properly focused. The heat i is used for heating a boiler that will generate steam and this in turn is used
 to work machinery or to run dynamo. By means Of the electrical attachment power can be stored for use at night and during cloudy days. This machine will be particularly serviceable upon
 the desert. where it will cook meals, run water pumping apparatus, smeit ores CT serve any other purpose to
 which it may be put in the way of gen . erating heat. The appliance is most economical. No fuel is needed to run it and the mechanical attachments de- signed for the various purposes are simple and easily managed.
 Carter is incorporating a company for the purpose of manufacturing the solar furnaces and putting them on the mar ket- All rights are to be reserved in twenty states west of the Mississippi. The name of the corporation is to be the Solar Furnace company. and fac tories are to be erected at Phoenix and ether points. Carter is sanguine or the future of his invention. He points out the fact that is is particularly adapted to tho cloudlcss climate of Arizona and hopes to see many motors running on the desert. pumping water from wells for the use of the farmer. furnishing heat for the melting of ores in largr smelters and serving every purpose of the steam engine and the furnace.
 In Pasadena, Cal. q solar motor is now running, and this machine is said to have demonstrated that the principle is practical and that in running ma chinery 1t is more economical than any other known power producer. The Pasa- dena machine is essentially different, however. from Carter's invention.
 Many hydrogra phical experts. backed by millions of dollars. have been at tempting for years to devise methods c: developing water supply to trans form the vast deserts of this territory and other states and territories in the west into gardens prolific in agricul- tural products. and much success has already been attained by diverting river flows. Strenuous efforts are being put forth to construct storage reser- voirs to increase the water supply and pumping machinery has raised a great deal of water to the surface. but by far the greater area of Arizona and south ern California consists of unreclaimed deserts. TO reclaim those areas which cannot be reached by canal systems, pumping must be resorted to. It has been found that under the most arid and apparently sterile deserts Of this territory subterranean currents carry ing great volumes of water flow per pertuaily. The wster is at no great depth and at Mesa A J. Chandler. s. J. Murphy and others are pumping water for irrigation. Tine principal ob- acle is the cost of fuel. Carter says:
 ''It has been a fond. hope with irriga- tionists in Arizona since the first tests were made with solar motors here two years ago that the little contrivarce would solve the question of economical pumping by utilizing the rays O, the sun. which beat down with the in tensity of African solar rays. The solu- ton now seems to be in sight.
 .-The solar furnace may prove of all most as great value by supplying water and power for developing rich mineral regions in the territory now isolated and impracticable to develop because of
