MAKING THE SUN TORK.

Now that Niagara has gone to work perhaps there is no reason why the sun shouldn't also go to work. Anyhow
 certain ingenious men are going to make his majesty labor for them. A solar engine will be in operation on Professor Cowgill's ranch near Great Bend, Kansas. by April 1, pumping wa ter for irrigation purposes. A part of the apparatus is like a huge umbrella lined with looking glasses and inverted with it's mouth toward the sun. In this umbrella are 1,7SS mirrors which take LID and concentrate by reflection $40 square feet of effective sunshine upon a given point At this point is a boiler filled with water, and the concentrated rays of the sun quickly make steam in this boiler, which is then carried to an ordinary steam engine. At sunrise the reflector is faced toward the sun. A clock is, then started which moves it with the sun, keeping the reflections at all times bearing upon the boiler. Means are provided for casting the reflections to one side when steam is not wanted, but, if the operator so wishes, the mo- tor will operate from sunup till sun down with no attention save that of oiling The Santa Fe railroad is said to have ordered q number of these motors to be used i'll pumping water at differ ent places in California, A motor which has been at work near Pasadena for more than a year is able to lift 1,400

TEMPERANCE WORK " DUBroUE

TEMPERANCE WORK IN DUBU0 UE.
 It isn't often that liquor sellers en- gage in temperance work, but there is no reason why they shouldn't. They are doing it in Dubuque, Iowa, and the experiment is a very interesting one The saloonkeepers' organization, the Knights of Fidelity" have adopted d set of rules to govern the trade, rules calculated to promote order and to work for temperance in the consump- tion of alcoholic drink. Under the new order. saloons will close regularly at midnight, and on Sundays will not De opened till one in the afternoon. week days, liuuor will not be sold before 3 a. m. Slot-machines, gambling devices, and wine-rooms are barred. Minors, drunkards, and intoxicated persons are excluded from the saloons and refused the purchase of drinks. The saloon- keepers have undertaken, further, to refuse liquor to mlnorS Iol tllei o"A use off the premises, and to make no sales to persons competent members or whose families forbid the sale in Writ ing
 These regulations are perhaps not as radical as some other temperance work CTS would like to have them, but they are in the right line, and will do good

Those who have been afraid that when they were electrocuted they would not be killed can take heart. The Elec- trical World and Engineer shows Just how if is done. Replying to one ot the critics who says he was once made unconscious for several hours by an accidental shock from a two-thou- sand-yolt alternator and then fully re- covered from it, the editor allows that accidental shocks are rarely fatal, and that resuscit ations after encounters with currents of great strength are re ouent. but then directs attention to the fact that in accidental cases the con
 tact is not only brief in most instances,
 but it is very imperfect, rendering it difficult to tell how much of the cur rent passes through the victims body. When a man receives an accidental shock the muscular contraction usually
 tends to throw him violently away from the contact. Moreover, the resistance of the accidental path through his body
 is usually high. The current he re- ceives Is, therefore, under ordinary cir
 cumstances, neither powerful nor pro- longed Under the conditions of elec- trocution however, the current applica- ton is relatively both powerful and pro longed The conclusion is that there can be no question that the subject of legal electrocution dies by the effects yond all hope of recovery before the au- topsy takes place.

DANvILLE, VA, July Il, 1902.
We are in this beautiful city by the
Dan. It has been nearly two wears
since was here. L preached yesterday
for both tho High Street and Loyal
Street Baptist churches.
The work Of Rev. w. T. Hall, b.
at grand old High Street is wonder to
the world. Here, under his charge, one
OF the finest church buildings has been
erected that may be found in the state
OF Virginia. We preached for his peo-
pie at IL a. IN. One thousand people
came out TO hear the gospel. 1t was a
fine, orderly, Intelligent set of people.
They love their pastor aud he sways
great influence in Danville as well as in
the state.
Rev. A. A Calvin, B. D., was IN
stalled at the Loyal Street church at IL
IA. m. Rev. DR.. Tyrell OF Lynchburg
preached the sermon. Those who
heard 1t declare that it was a master
piece OF pulpit oratory. The church
was packed with an enthusiastic, In
telligsnt people. Like High Street,
Loyal Street bas most excellent choir
In the afternoon, Rev. w. T. Hall,
Il. D., administered the Lords Supper
Tor Rev. Calvin. Here was a meeting
that will be long remembered in Dam
vile. High Street and Ioyal met to-
gether and kissed each other; the Lord
was there, High Street welcomed her
sister back to the Virginia Baptist State
Convention. With these two grand
churches standing up for our State
work, these parts are safe.
AT night, Loyal Street was over-run
TO hear their ex- pastor preach a special
sermon TO the church from the subject,
1.-THE Gates of He'll" The great con-
gregation was warm in its appreciation.
We find the colored people of DAN
vile energetic, thrifty and progressive.
They believe in the Negro doing some
thing for himself and this is seen by
them being largely engaged in business
OF various kinds. Since this is one of
the cardinal doctrines of the Virginia
Baptist State Convention, the High
Street and Loyal Street churches are
popular with the business men Of DAN
Yille
The Revs Mr.. Hall and Calvin are
both honored graduates Of the Virginia
Seminary.
Rev. Hall has recently built himself a
fine cottage nome near his church. 1t
IS indeed handsome home, and the
cultured Mrs. Hall knows how 30 be
the queen Off We made that happy
home our headquarters.
We stopped Monday night with Rev
Calvin III their pleasant home on South
Main st. Mrs. Calvin is charming
lady OF the house. She knows how to
get along with all the members Of tie
church.
