to Works of Christian
Charity.

Mrs. Neliora Mcpherson Clarkson, widow
OF Robert Harper Clarkson. bishop OF Ne
braska and the Dakotas, died at 8 o'clock
Tuesday night at the residence Of F. H, Da-
Wis. 62S South Twentieth street. Her death
was due TO heart failure. The funeral will
take place from Trinity cathedral.
Mrs. GARRISON was born July 20. 1923, In
Frederick, Md. In 1s49 she was married
TO Bishop Clarkson when he was rector Of
st. James Episcopal church In Chicago.

Mrs. Clarkson has always been very act
i've in charitable work and was manager
Of the Clarkson Memorial hospital. This
institution was established during the life
time of Bishop Clarkson. After his death
Mrs. Clarkson devoted herself to the
maintenance and building up OF this insti-
tuition, Its name then being changed. At
fret II was a children's hospital, but

sonal benincence was enlarged until II
rendered general service In res ponse to the
growing needs OF Omaha.
Mrs. Clarkson as manager OF the %institu-
ton never failed to daily attend to her du-
ties until January last, when physical
weakness due to old age and the unusual
energy with which she devoted herself TO
her chosen work rendered her unable to
continue the personal supervision which
contributd so much to the efficiency of the
hospital. .-.
For some time previous TO her death
Mrs. Clarkson undertook to secure an en-.
largement Of the hospital, and plans were
on the point Of being prepared. These
plans involve the erection OF a separate
hospital building for general purposes and
when erected the present building will be
entirely devoted to It's original purpose,
that OF a children's hospital. 1t is under
stood that such progress was made durins
Mrs. Clarkson's lifetime in the prepare
ton for the erection OF the new building
that its establishment is assured.
Mrs. Clarkson was interested In many
charities. both of a public and private
character. Just q few days ago she made
inquiry regarding a number Of private
charities and made certain they wound be
continued after her death. Hr
The hour OF the funeral will b deter

THE SOLAR MOTOR IN KANSAS.
VIII Be Used by E. B. Cowgirl to
Pump Water for Irrigation.
Test to BE Made on His Farm in Barton
County About May MAY Manu-
facfure the Machines in
Kansas

From the Topeka Capital
Considerable has been written lately
IN regard to the experiments with a solar
motor which were to be conducted on
the farm of E. B. Cowgirl, editor of the
Kansas Farmer, near Great Bend. The
machinery was to have been shipped
this week, but Mr.. Cowgirl stated yes
terday that there had been some delay
In regard to the shipment, and that it
would not now leave Boston until March
p. 1t will probably take about two
weeks for the shipment and two more to
get apparatus ready for work, so that the
trials viii not take place until the latter
part of April or the first of May
The machine consists of an imme nse
reflector, turned by clockwork 50 as to
face the sun all day, which concentrates
the rays Of the sun upon a boiler, and
horse power has been obtained from the
one which is now in operation at Pasa-
dena, Gal. Mr. Cowgirl has on the farm
in Barton county, where the experiments
are to take place, two wells which are
capable of producing 800 gallonsof water
a day, and the pumping viii be done
from these wells. He has agreed to fur
nish several acres of spectators to watch
the tests, and has no doubt of his alb
ility to fulfill that part of the. agreement.
The motor which is IN operation at
Pasadena has been very successful. and
it is claimed that the difficulties which
have been experienced there will be
overcome in the construction of the new
machine. George r. Henderson, super
intendent Of motive power of the Santa
Fe, has seen the Pasadena machine in
operation, and is very much pleased with
its work As a result the Santa Fe has
ordered several of them for service in
New Mexico. Former Chancellor F. H
Snow. of the University Of Kansas. also
witnessed the Pasadena tests, and was
very favorably impressed with them.
There is a possibility that the manu-
facture of the motors may be transferred
to Topeka. The company has no manu-
featuring plant of its own, but contracts
with iron manufactures to build the ma
chimes according to their specifications.
The two so far constructed have been
built in Boston. but the company wants
to have the work done farther west, as
the use of the machines will ssariIy
be greatest in the west. The Fepresen-
tative of the company who was in To
peka mentioned Kansas City as a posi-
bic location, but the Topeka people who
are interested in the experiments do not
see why Topeka would not do just as
we'll.
