tJ twenty horse power. But this is by no means the limit. since several re- ilectors may readily be grouped about a central engine and made to produce 100 horse power, and perhaps much more. The solar motor is simply the cheapest possible means of producing steam because it saves all exp nditure for fuel and labor IL is available fo. use wherever steam power is needed. IL can b. used to generate electricity and the power then stored in electric batteries. other and cheaper means of storage may be devised in time. Any attempt to predict possibilities in this field would be mere guesswork, but it Is safe to say that solar power will be one of the great influences If the new century and will make the a"id re- gions Cf the west and other parts of the world, the theater of the greatest industrial revolution of the future

A NEW DEPARTURE.
A New. Effe:tual and Convenient Cure
 for Catarrh.

Of catarrh remedies. there is no end. but of catarrh cures, there has always been great scarcity. There are many remedies 10 relieve. but very few that really cure.
 The old practice of snuling salt water through the nose would often re- leve, and tn. washes, touches, pow ders and inhalers in common use are very little. if any better, than the old fashioned salt water dOuche.
 The use of inhalers and the applica- ton of salves, washes and powders to the nose and throat to cure catarrh is no more reasonable than to rub the back to cure kidney disease. Catarrh is just as much blood disease as kid hey trouble or rheumatism and it can not Ee cured by local treatment any more than they can be.
 To cure catarrh whether in the head, thr at or stomach an internal anti septic treatment is necessary to drive | the catarrhal poison out Of the blood and system, and the new catdrrh cure i is designed on this plan anl the re- markable success of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is because being used inter nally. it drives out catarrhal infection ! through action upon stomach, liver ! and bowels
 Wm. Zimmerman f St. Joseph re 1 ldtcs an experience with catarrh which 1 is of value tO millions of catarrh suf- | ferers everywhere. He says: "l neg l leCtcd q slight nasal catarrh until it gradually extended to my throat and ! bronchial tubes and finally even my 1 stomach and liver became affected. but | as | was able to ksep up and do a l days work I let il run along until ms' hearing began tO fail me andI then realized that l must get rid of catarrh or lose my position as I was clerk and
 my hearing was absolutely necessary
 Some of my friends recommended an inhaler another catarrh salve, but they were no good in my ease. nor was anything else until l heard of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets and bought a package at my drug store. They ben efted me from the start and in less than four months I was completely cured of catarrh although I had suf- fered nearly all my life from it.
 They are pleasan. to take and so
 much more convenient to use than other catarrh remedies that l feel cannot say enough in favor of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets"
 A little book on cause and cure of
 catarrh will be mailed free by ad- dressing r. A. stuart Co.,, Marshall
 Mich. and the tablets are sold by all
 druggists in tie United States and ! Canada.

CONQUEST OF THE SUN
Description of the Operation of the
 Solar Motor.

A correspondenG at Los Angeles writes The Republican that the solar motor on exhibition at the ostrich farm near that city is considered sue cessful and is therefore attracting vast amount of attention. Leading newspapers and maga2ines through out the country have telegraphed their representatives to rush phot"- graphs" and the eastern tourists no" swarmng into the snuth all visit the device and regard it as great marvel Naturally. it is attracting the notice of men interested in western develop- ment. Cor any means of furnishing cheap Lower must exert a trem ndOus influence in this field. Among those who have studied it very closely and are appar- ntly ready to stake their reputatiun on the prediction If great results to be realized from this inter- esting device. is William F. Smythe. who, as founder of the irrigation con gress. for many years editor Of the irrigation Age ana author of ''rh" Conquest of Arid America is well known Co many Republican readers. He has furnished correspondent with the following statement concerning the solar motor:
 HOW TT LOOKS.
 "Tne unique feature of the solar motor is that t us x the heat of the sun to rr sdu. scam. AS no fueI iS cheaper than any flu |. the saving to be effected by this device is evident. When the s.,a" avs have heated the watc. in the bnt r so as tp produce s,eam. the remainder of the process is the fam far operation of compound en- zine and centrifugal pump
 "The reflector -1n' zwhat res mbles u huge umbrella, open and inverted at such an angle as - rceive the full effect of the suns rays on l,'SS lttl' mirrors lining it's inside surface. The boiler, which is thirteen feet ana six inches long, is just where the handle of the umbrella ought tn ba. This boiler is the focal point Where the re- flecuon of the sun is concentrated. If you reach q l0ng pole up to the boiler it nStantl" begins to smoke and in f=w seconds is aiiame. From the boiler a flexible metallic pipe runs to the engine house near at hand. The reflector is thirty-three and a half feet .n diameter at the top and fifteen feet at the bottom. On the whole, it's ap- pedrdnce Is rather stately and grace ful, and the glitterng mirrors and shining boiler make it decidedly bril- liant
 WHAT IT DOES.
 "Im the morning the machine is thr,wn into focus by a few turns of a hand crank. In about an hour the gauge in the engine house indicates 1i0 pounds of steam pressure. The en- zine may then be started and allowed to run all day without attention. A clock work arrahg ment keeps the re- Hector following he sun around autp- maticIily; the engine is self bling; the water pa sses back from the condenser to the boiler, so that the latter is al ways full. The present model runs | ten horse power engine and lifts 1,4OC gallons per minute, equal to l5, miners inches. twelve feet from ar underground tank.

land, and later the permanent headgate will be constructed in bluff of cement conglomerate, through which water will be admitted for the irrigation of the en- tire SOO,000 acres to be placed under the system, this water being first taken into a large natural settling basin, from which series of canals will lead
 A very large portion of the water is provided with a natural channel in Car ter and New Rivers. which lead for more than sixty miles on good grade through Lower California, delivering the water again at the international line, for use in irriEating the California lands. Thence the water is taken in a series of large canals, distributed through a series of laterals, and thence into the ditches of the individual farmers, the system being based on an allowance of four acre feet year for all the land under the system.
 The settlement of the delta is progress ing rapidly. the population of the Colora- do Desert alone making net gains of from five to ten persons a day while the rate of increase is rising steadily. One year ago the desert was unpopulated. Today about thousand people have their homes are only awaiting the arrival of water at their respective farms to take posses sion and begin the cultivation of the soil Some remarkable records have been made in vultvating this desert land. Moving on barren ground, within sixty days a number of farmers have had crops of millet grown, harvested and stacked, with growth of corn and sor- ghum from four to six feet high. Thus the complexion of the desert is steadily changing. and as a result of irrigati under the several systems within year probably 200,0 acres of the delta lands will be under thorough cultivation.
