honest opinion of this great remedy
cannot be mistaken by any one who
reads her letter:
Green Bay, Wis. March 8, 1900
Wells, Richardson & Company.
Gentlemen: For the past ten years
I have been troubled with neuralgia
of the stomach and dizziness in the
head. ] have doctored with many doc
tors but found no relief until a friend
of mine recommended to me your
Paine's Celery Compound. and | found
1t great cure for my sickness.
Yours very truly,
Mrs. George Il. Rouse.
Public opinion in the large cities
throughout the country shows the rel-
ance that hard worked, often over
worked men, and women. have come to
place upon Paine's Celery Compound.
Nothing demoralizes the health soon
er or more completely than even the
occasional loss of sleep. Paines Celery
Compound gets the brain out of this
dangerous habit of sleeplessness It
feeds the nervous tissues all over the
body, and does not let the nutrition OF
these delicate parts get low enough to
permit of insomnia. One of the earliest
evidences OF the final success of this
great nerve and brain invigorator in
curing neuralgia, debility, rheumatism.
headaches and indigestion due to insult
iicient nerve force, is the joyous feeling
of returning strength of mind and
body, ChcerfulnesS and well being"
that takes the place of the old, tired,
languid, morbid, melancholy condition.
If you are played out" to use a for
cble street phrase, can't digest, can't
sleep, can't work. and have lost cour-
age, 1t is your nervous system that is
played out" Try Paine's Celery Com
pound and see how soon you give up
brooding over your health and how
soon you forget you ever had nerves
that could possibly ache. The dismal
| failures of other remedies must not
prevent one from taking the remedy
that is always successful. painc's
| Celery Compound has driven sickness
from thousands Of homes.

sel of the Concord sage to an aspiring
youth. And 10! after more than gen.
Grafton, practical farmers are accept
ing this advice more literally than any
one could have ina agincd. They are
hitchins their engines to the sun. The
ostriches at the farm near this city
surrendered one of their paddoCks to
~ mechanical engineer and u business
man from Boston u few weeks ago
and the newcomers proceeded to set
up a strange device which casual on
lockers have variously considered
mill-mil, a searchlight, a merry-go-
round. and n looking glass of gigantic
size and fantastic design but which
proves to be a new invention of en-
traordnary interest and wide practical
usefulness. II is the solar motor, and 1t
solves the question of applying the
suns rays directly to the production
of steam power.
There were a good many attempts
during tha past thirty years. and, in
deed, more than Il century ago, to
make Il commercial proposition of sun
mower. Some of the more recent Of
these efforts have been announced in
"A highly sensational way as likely to
furnish power for moving trains and
steamships, and even for leveling down
great mountains. No such absurdities
have been associated with the solar
motor which is now attracting the at
tontion of scientific men and popular
crowds ut South Pasadena.
SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
Indeed, nothing has been claimed for
it, The device speaks for itself in
the modest but impressive language of

to suppose that its maximum has been
reached, nor that it will be with the
present nOdel At this writing it's
best record is the raising of 1,400 gal
Ions per minute at a lift of twelve
feet. The average percentage of sun
shine IN the arid region as a whole
is 30 per cent. and this figure would
correctly represent the proportion of
the year in which sun-power could be
relief upon. Making due allowance for
the hours of idlness after sunset, 1,i00
gallons per minute, which equal l55

acres of alfalfa, about 800 acres of
oranges. or about 500 acres of dacidu-
Gus trees. Although there are large

is nothing occult, nothing new. Every
boy has felt the concentrated heat OF
the sun gathered in the burnig glass
held by mischievous neighbor, or
had his eyes momentarly blinded by
the reflected light cast from q hand
mirror. These principles are old and
known to us all. In the solar motor
they are applied on a larger scale and
made to perform useful work in con-
nection with the steam engine and the
pump.
Now that the thing is accomplished.

THE REFLECTOR.

This reflector measures 80 feet across
its diameter at the top and Is feet at
the bottom. 1t contains exactly I,7ss
mirrors 3i2 by "A inches in size. The
reflector is set in meridian like a tclc-
scope, the axis being due North and
South and the movement from East to
West. The boiler is tubular, 13 feet s
inches long, with a capacity for 100
gallons of water, and = cubic feet ad-
dltional steam space. 1t is made of
firc-box steel, covered with lamp-black
and other absorptivc material, Before
this boiler Is thrown into focus it's
black cylinder is but an inconspicuous
feature of the novel mechanism which
stands face to face with the sun. But
when with u few turns of the crank, 1t
swings into the concentrated rays re-
flected from hundreds of mirrors, il
suddenly assumes the appearance of
shining silver or perhaps of a great,
cleaning iciclc, and becomes the irre-
sistiblc cynosure of all eyes. Here, at
last, is the sun harnessed. A long pole
is reached to the gittering boiler, and
soon begins to smoke and then takes
fire and bursts into flame. Evidently
it is hot up there, and this simple test
carries conviction on that point to the
most unscientific mind.
In about one hour the intense heat
has raised the cold water to a high
temperature, evaporated it into steam,
and a pressure of $50 pounds is shown
on the gage in the engine room. For,
be it understood, the solar motor is not
a sun engine in the sense that II IL
operated without the intervention of
steam power as the water wheel Is
turned by the falling stream. The sun
strikes the mirrors; the mirrors reflect
the heat upon the boiler; the heat
turns the water within the boiler into
steam; the steam passes from the head
of the boiler through a flexible metal
lie pipe into the engine cylinders; and
from that point the process is the IA
miliar operation of the compound en-
gine and the centrifugal pump. There

TELEGRAPH LINE.
The same year Brgadier-General
Greedy, the famous Arctic cxplorer
and chief signal officer of the United

note the feasibility OF constructing "A

and connecting with all the military

from Fort 81. Michael to Fort Davis.

the winter. However the work will be

Der of the United States Signal corps

Eagle City, Alaska.--Alaska is a
great territory: great undeveloped,

The most beautiful scenery in the
world can be found along the Yukon
river. Great snow-capped peaks rising
out of bed of silken moss and wild
flowers; the mighty Yukon, tearing it's
way through mighty canyons, all tend
to inspire one with the idea that they
are in switzerland or Colorado. And
approaching the Aleutian coast Of
Alaska from the North Pacific, scenery
is far more grand. .
