FOR A GRANT MEMORIAL.
A National Monument at Washington
Now Under Consideration.


Washington Post: Within the course
OF very few days the Grant monument
commission will announce the names of
the members OF the committee which is to
select the six best designs for the Grant
monument to be erected In this city. Con-
siderable interest in this memorial has al
ready been aroused III the art circles of
the country, which is attested by the fact
that the commission has received thirty
six different designs for the monument
from as many different sculptors, many OF
whom are now in this city. The models
will all be placed in the basement of the
Corcoran art gallery, where they will be
exhibited to the public two weeks, COM
mencing April /.
The monument that is to be erected is
to be more in the nature of a memorial
to General Grant than a piece Of portrait
sculpture. 1t is expected that this statue
will be placed in Il central position in the
rear of the White House or the war de-
partment A large statue of General Sher-
man is in the course of erection for the
plaza south of the treasury department,
and plans are under way for statue of
General Sheridan 1t is probable that the
Sheridan monument will be placed on the
large open space directly in front of the

Joe Fugate for Chairman.

We can heartily endorse the follow.
ing from the Hutchinson Gazette of
last week, concerning our old friend
and townsman ]. B. Fugate, of the
Newton Journal:
The coming democratic state con-
vention will be called on to determine
many matters affecting the success of
the party and the best interest of the
people. Affecting the interest of the
party, the election of a wide awake,
capable chairman Of the state central
committee is of grave Importance.
Among the capable gentlemen for that
position we can think of none more
capable than Joe Fugate. of Newton.
Mr.. Fugate is not an orator, but be is
a thinking, earnest and capable demo.
crat, He never misses a convention
and he is favorably known to every
working democrat in the state. An
other advantage in favor of Mr.. Fugate
10 he is centrally located enough to bar-
monize all prejudice as to lacality.
1t is not our purpose to detract from
the merit of other distinguished gentle
men who have been spoken of for the
place. but we are quite sure that when
the time comes to consider the matter
in the convention the claims for Mr..
Fugate will be recognized as preferable
to all others.

winds of mid d-summer, is at last
to be harnessed by the hand OF
man and made to do duty as a
drawer of water and newer OF

and popular methods Of irriga-

An exhibition of the working
of that new invention, the Sun

The exact dates will be given in
future issues of this paper.
The following from the Scien-

sources will give our readers some
idea of the way the machine ope-
rates, and the illustrations here
with presented show it's mechan-
iaal construction
"The performance of the solar

details. At this writing it's best
record is as follows: evaporation,
1872 pounds of water per hour
under $50 pounds steam pres

(indicated); greatest steam pres

or about 500 acres of deciduous
trees, such as peaches, prunes,
and apricots.
"In appearance, the machine is
neither cumbrous nor fragile,
but graceful and well proportion
ed. The reflector which gathers
the sunshine and concentrates it
around the boiler is of conical
shape. 1t has a diameter Of 33
feet 3 inches at the top and 16
feet at the bottom. 1t intercepts
approximately $40 square feet
of effective sunshine. The inter-
ior surface is lined with 1,7S3
small mirrors, SO arranged as to
reflect the suns rays to the axis
of the cone. Located at this
point is a long boiler surmount-
ed by a steam chest, 13 feet 6
inches over all, holding 100 gal
Ions Of water and having an ad-
ditional steam space of 6 cubic
feet. 1t will be noted that the
concentration of heat is effected
not through lenses, as is gener-
ally supposed, but by means of
mirrors made ofglass and silver
ed on the back.
"The reflector is suspended by
steel cables between two fixed
supports set in the meridian Of
the place where erected. Its
weight is carried by roller bear
ings and it's mounting resembles
that of the telescope. The axis
of the supports is due north and
south, while the reflector is free
to turn east and west in follow
ing the sun. This is automati-
cally accomplished by means Of
a weight suspended from the tall
rear support and of a common
clock which governs it's daily
motion and keeps it at all times
in good focus. An independent
cable passes over the upper side
of the reflector frame and is used
as a stay against sudden wind
pressures when the machine is in
a position corresponding to SUM-
rise. For the daily motion it is
only necessary to overcome the
fric ction of the machine and the
slightly unbalanced wind pres
sures, which admits of the entire
device being moved with an ef-
fort not exceeding ten pounds at
the starting lever from sunset to
sunrise, or from a winter to 6

There are no delicate parts any

'sIf we liken the reflector to an
umbrella, open, inverted, and
lined with mirrors, we should
say that the boiler is where the
umbrella stick ought to be.
Many people examine photo
graphs of the motor, and even
gaze at the device itself, then in
nocently inquire for the boiler.
1t looks insignificant in compare

'The operation of the solar de-
vice is very simple. 1t must be
brought into focus when steam
is desired, presumably immedi-
ately after sunrise. This is done
by the movement of the lever,
which is not beyond the strength
of a good-sized boy. A simple
Indicator similar to a hand
camera shows when a true focus
has been obtained. In an hour
about $50 pounds steam pres

The engine may then be started
by a turn of it's throttle-vale.
The whole plant may be left
practically to itself. The sun is
the fireman and largely the engi-
neer. The reflector follows the
sun around all day; the engine is
automatically fabricated; the
steam, having done it's work in
the engine, is converted again
to water by the condenser and
finds it's way back to the boiler,
so that there may never be either
too much Or too little in that
receptacle. Even Il the boiler
were empty no explosion would
follow. In that case the sun
would first burn off the absorb
tive coating and then glance off
harmlessly, as it does from any
other objects.
