The sun does not keep good time. He

Once about the middle April he is just

September he joins the clock third

were startled at the way he had neg

Money Borrowed for School Teach

An interesting question has arisen
in Warren county by reason OF the
failure of the Warrenton Bank, In
which was deposited about $1,000
which was borrowed by the county
school commissioner for the purpose
of paying the school teachers before
the money was forthcomming from the,
state. The county school commission
err claims the teachers must suffer the
loss, because the county board author
lied vthe loan The teachers have
asked Attorney General Wright for a
decision, and he has the matter under
consideration.
MIR. Wrighe says that the teachers
will not lose the money, but it is still
a question whether the loss will fall
upon the sureties of the county school
commissioner or upon the parties
from whom he borrowed.

USE FOR KANSAS SUNSHINE
Novel Experiment In Irrigation to
Be Made.

On the farm Of E. B. Cowgirl, near
Great Bend, Kan, will be operated
next month a novel device for putting
Kansas sunshine to work. This will be
a solar motor, such as has been used in
experiments in Arizona and California.
1t consists Of large radiator or re-
flector thirty-three feet in diameter at
the outer edge and sixteen feet at the
inner, lined with mirrors which focus
on a boiler that occupies the position
of handle to the widespread umbrel-
la of the reflector. The reflector is
moved with the sun by clockwork, be-
ing suspended on high derrick. The
heat is so intense near the boiler that
wooden poles are quickly burst into
flames.
The operation of the device is simple.
1t is brought into focus by hand after
sunrise by the pushing of lever. In
dicators show when the true focus is
obtained, and in an hour $50 pounds of
steam is generated. The engine is then
started by turning the throttle valve,
and the plant may be left to itseaf. The
clockwork makes the reflector follow
the sun all day. The Oiling is aptomat-
lie, ard the boiler is filed in the same
way. Being attached to pump, such
a motor can irrigate over hundred
acres. In the experiment near Great
Bend the work will be done at wells
that have never been pumped dry even
by the best gasoline engines. Ii is be-
lieved that with power to harness the
sunshine of western Kansas and with
a machine that will work all day and
cost nothing for fuel great results can
be obtained.
