Not Far on.

LONDON. Dec. "A despatch to the
Morning Post from Brussels says it is
rumored there that negotiations are
about to be opened between the belliger-
ents in South Africa for either peace or
an armistice.
1t appears to be certain that the Beers

from South Africa received by Mr.. Kru-
ger is said to show an increasing want of
ammunition. arms. and provisions on the
part Of the burghers.
1t is not impossible. according to the

will be seriously entered upon before the
end of the year.

"The two greatest forces in nature
are the sunlight and the sea-" remark
ed 6 college professor apropos of moth
ing in particular the other day; yet
strange to say, we have made little
or no progress toward harnessing
either of them for Industrial uses. or
course, the effort has been made, over
and over again, and l dare say scores
of able men are wrestling with the
problem at this very moment, but
everything thus far suggested has
proven failure. The idea OF utilizing
solar energy has generally taken the
form OF an engine in which the sun
does duty as firebox. A friend OF
mine at Washington tells me that over
a hundred patents have been taken
out on appliances CT that sort. They
are all more or less alike, the essential
feature being a mirror or combination
OF mirrors which focus the suns rays
on a boiler of water. Some small
models have been made that worked
perfectly. but nothing on a practical
scale has ever been devised. II goes
without saying that a solar engine
can only make steam while the sun
shines. and consequently could not be
depended upon for steady work. but
the recent perfecting of the storage
battery helps to remove that difficulty.
When the engine is working II could
be used to operate n dynamo and the
current bottled up for future use. or
course there would be n good deal OF
power lost In the transmission from
one form into another. but as long as
the fuel costs nothing at all. that would
be of no special consequence. When
the real solar engine is finally invent
ed. as II must be sooner or later, the
world Will take some immense indus
tritnl strides. 1t would enormously
cheaper all manufactured products.
The same may be said OF any practical
method of Harvesting the waves. That
problem has been wrestied with for
centuries. yet on the surface II seems
comparatively simple. The device that
