ern California, who wax fat and pros shearing or Ar,zonians, will learn with di.may of an invention which is cal culated to put an end to the Arizona habit of going inside" Mir Willis l.. Moore chief or the United States weather bureau. claims to have invent ed an apparatus whereby the air in house may be cooled as cheaply and as easily as the same air is heated by stove.
 Certain chemicals are used. the na- ture of which MT. Moore does not make public Nor is he trying to place his invention on the market. it is explained, pending action on his applications for patents in various countries. But it is asserted that MT. Moore already has one of his contrivances in operation in the largest office of the weather bureau at Washington, and that it works per- fectly The New York Herald describes the machine as locking like a tall stove of galvanized iron. cylindrical in shape, and with a stove pipe going out | through the wall at the top. At the bottom there is another short pipe, with it's mouth close to the floor: and at this opening there is little wheel which spins around at a rapid rate" Concerning the machine MT. Moore is quoted as saying:
 That blast of air being thrown out into the room is at 36 degrees above ! zero and it is coming at the rate of | 125 cubic feet a minute. As it emerges i it spreads over the floor and slowly rises, thus creating a gentle circula- l ticn without any draft. You will notice | that one of the windows is open at the l top. Through that opening the denser l cool air steadily forces the warmer air | overhead, so there is continual | change. I call it a gravity machine, because it's action depends on gravity. The pipe at the top brings the warm air in from outside, which is dried, | washed and partly cooled in the upper part of the apparatus. Descending into the lower part, it is there thoroughly cooled, and then passes into the room. | But the whole operation is dependant upon the difference in specific gravity | regulates the machine in such a man.
 ner that the apparatus works faster
 when the weather is hot and more
 slowly when the weather is cold. Ii
 the thermometer were 100 today. the
 little wheel at the bottom, which meas
 ures the outflow of cool air, would be going at a buzz saw gait. On the
 other hand. if the thermometer outside I fa11 to fIo aI ina ctn lx- ing entirely. It does this of it's own
 accord. actuated merely by the differ
 ence between indoor and outdoor tenn perature.'
 The scofFer at scientific progress is al
 a discount in these days, but were il
 not for the reputation and standing of
 Chief Moore the story of his cooling
 machine would pass as a hot weather
 yarn, literally. He claims that his
 tirely new discovery, and upon the i'm portant question of cost he says tha the machine requires to be charged bu
 once a day, the cost of which will no
 exceed the expense of heating the sam,
 place by a furnace or stove in ex
 trefnely cCid Weather-frOm which may be inferred that the new luxur.
 will come rather high. MT. Moore talk
 of his machine in these optimsti
 terms:
 Within a short time the gravity ma chine will be in possession of the pub lie. It will be made in sizes suita bl
 for cooling rooms at home; fever pa
 tfents tossing on the couches in tn
 hospitals will be cooled by them col, storage pantries will be built in ever l house and equipped with gravity cool CTS; hotels, in spite of their being To cated on the sea shore, can furnisl
 coolness to their guests. Cool railwa
 trains and cool theaters; cool factorie and cool churches-they all come in tn
 list
 Only Chief Moore is needed to mak Arizona an earthly paradise through , out the year, as it is already for eigh , months thereof, and we trust that h l will be on hand before the beginning C the next season of exodus.
