THE SUN-A
Curious Motor Invented by an In

Parsons Magazine.
There have been many attempts to har-
ness old Sol, to make him work at mans
bidding so that his rays, trapped and put
TO new uses, shall take the place of coal or
wood as a producer of motive power. Clever
minds in all ages have been at work TO
devise the necessary trap. Several more
or less practical machines have resulted,
but none so perfect, so full OF promise, as
the great sun motor now engaged Ia storing
up the suns heat at the ~well-known Pasa-
dena ostrich farm, in California
BY the suns heat water is boiled, the
steam working a powerful engine, capable
of pumping some 1,4W gallons Of water in a
minute.
From a distance the California sun mo-
tor looks like a huge open umbrella, in
verified, and with a piece saved of its top.
1t is balanced on a high steel framework,
and is set at such an angle That il VIII

Each of these mirrors measures two feet IN
length and three inches across, and rehectS

which holds about a hundred gallons OF
water. The boiler is made of steel, COW
cred with a notwithstanding material.
The hot persistent California sun that
shines almost every day of the year, when
reflected from the mirrors on to the boiler,
causes such heat that it is possible to OBJ
tain $50 pounds of steam pressure in one
hour from cold water. When the machine
is made ready for work-a task for a boy,
who has merely to turn a crank until an IN
dicator shows when the sun is truly TO-

so that fits face is kept turned to the sun
all day without further manipulation, un-

boiler is automatically supplied with water,
a safety valve releasing the steam If the
pressure should become too great.

TO FIGHT BEEF PACKERS
RETAIL MEAT DEALERS TO ORGAN
IZE INDEPENDENT COMPANY.
Modern Packing Plant to BE Erected
ut Chicago-Trust investigation
in Missouri.

CHICAGO, May 3.-Hundreds of retail
meat dealers throughout the country have
begun the organization of an Independent
packing company, with a capital stock of
So, 100000. 1t is proposed by the organizers
to erect a modern packing plant in Chicago,
large enough to supply all the beef prod
ucts handled in their trade.
\ considerable amount of the capital
necessary to carry through the project al
ready has been subscribed. The largest
subscription which will be accepted from
any one firm or individual is $1,000. This is
TO prevent the absorption of the company
by the packers who now control the beef
business. Men skilled in the beef trade
already AVE been engaged to manage the
new concern. The work for the promoting
of the new company began two weeks ago.
The promoters expect TO interest between
1900 and $4,000 retailers in the project.

Want Prompt investigation.

CHICAGO, May 3.-The executive COM
mittee of the National Live Stock Ex-
change met to-day and passed resolutions
requesting the government officials to make
the proposed investigation of the so-called
beef trust as promptly and as thoroughly
as possible and calling upon the different
live stock exchanges to take action to en-
deavOr to bring the live stock trade back
TO it's normal channels and restore conf
dence. The resolutions deprecate sensa-
tional statements about the alleged beef
trust as both the producer and consumer
have been placed in a very unenviabie po-
sition. The resolutions also declare that
a trust in fresh beef is an impossibility,
owing to the volume of the business, the
number of people engaged in it and the
perishable nature of the commodity.

THE YOUNG JOURNALIST.
How the Aspirant May Find Out II
He Has Ability.

turn to the training Of the young as
pirant for the literary side of a paper.
First, 1 repeat the warning 1 have already
given: 1t is not wise for any mar to take
up journalism unless he has a distinct gift
for writing. Let me, however, Immediately
add that it is not easy always for the
young man to answer that question salts
factorily in his own case. He may err on
the side of want of modesty, but he also
may err on the side Of excess OF 1t.
1t is difficult for the most OF us to know
what powers we have or what we lack
until we have been t~ried-until the oppor-
tunity has come to US. There is one way
of testing your powers of writing that Is a
snare. Young writers constantly come to
me with what they call essays. / never
look at them; life is too short now for es-
says. When you have become a literary
maj of repute and can write Ike Matthew
Arnold or Mr.. Birren you can do something
with essays, but until that moment ar
rives 1t is difficult for you TO get anybody
to look at your essays.
Take an incident within your own knoWl-
edge--a departure Of volunteers. say, for
the war; a trial at the assize town in which
you live, IL you live in one, or something Of
that kind; try 10 seize the human and dra-
matte points of the story, and then let your
article be read by some competent critic.
and so you will get something like a judy
ment worth attending to as to whether you
have or have not the gift OF writing. /
use the word gift advisedly.
The longer l live the more I see that.
though, you may enormously improve nat
ural gifts by training and practice, you
cannot supply them IL they be wanting.
AT schools they still compel unfortunate
children. who have not a note OF music in
their brains, to spend years at the piano.
1t is just as wicked a waste of time 10
send 10 journalism anybody who has no
original gift for writing from the hand OF
nature, for journalism is one OF the profess
slons where one ought TO be really good.
Mere moderate ability does not bring suff-
clent remuneration or sufficient certainty
of work to make journalism a good profess
sion. 1t Is like painting. Either a man is a
good painter and then makes a handsome
income. or he is Just a middling painter,
and then he is liable to starve.
