In these days of worry over lack of
fuel, when people are wondering how
they are to heat their buildings and
cook their food, numerous schemes are
being proposed in solution of the
problem. Among these substitutes for
coal one of the most prominent and
successful is petroleum., and it is a
special form Of burner for this fuel
which is pictured below, the origina-
tor of the invention being Elmore
Stewart of Los Angeles, Cal. The
claim is made that this burner can be
used in connection with a cooking or
heating stove, hot-air furnace, steam
and w~ater-heating system. steam boil
er or hotel range, giving a strong, hot
fame without danger of explosion.
TIC burner is composed of two separ
ate parts, n resting in the firebos
and the other forming the lid to re
place the ordinary cover of the stove

Every one is familiar with discus
sions about the rate at which the
worlds coal supply is being exhaust
ed. Attention may be called to the
possibilities of wood Systematically
cultivated for fuel. Helmholtz SNOW
ed that in Germany the thermal value
of the vegetable growth IN a given
area of land is about 1-1477th part of
the heat delivered by the sun to the
same area. By planting rapidly grow
Ing timber in tropical countries the
German rate can be increased about
fifteen times so that about one per
cent of the thermal energy poured
upon the land by the sun may be
stored as wood fuel. Taking 4,000,-
100000 acres of land as available for
forest cultivation it follows that a
perpetual fuel product of thirty times
our present coal supply might be
secured. And moreover, is it hope
less TO expect that a way will be
found TO store the energy daily re-
ceived from the sun and to do away
with fuel altogether?

UTAH SHEEP HERDER

HAD TO TURN BACK.
A special from Rock Springs to the
Salt Lake Tribune says:
Wednesday Frank Beckstead. a
sheep grower of Salt Lake attempted
to cross nine bands of sheep over the
west line of lands leased from the I'm
ion Pacific railway company. Thurs
day Joe Sellers, Beckstead's foreman
was arrested by the sheriff and fined
500 and costs by Judge Dibbles at
Green River for malicious trepass.
Thomas James, state sheep inspector
happened to be at Green River at the
timeand discovered scabin Beckstead's
bands. He Immediately placed them
under quarantine. Beckstead met with
the directors of the S~weetwater Range
company here tonight andentered into
an agreement to remove his sheep to
the west of Green River. to observe the
boundaries of the lease and to trail
hisclean bands north twenty miles then
east over what is known as the Colo
RADIO desert. At present the leased
lands of the company are entirely free
from trespassers.

Technical! Education and Trade.

The question of the influence of
technical education upon trade has
lately been much discussed in Eng
land. The president of the Society
of Chemical Industry in Liverpool
gives some OF the reasons why Ger
many is now advancing so rapidly, as
follows: l. Superior economy, thor
oughness, attention to detail. 2. The
possession of a large number of men
trained not only technically, but lib
orally. 3. A close alliance of legisla,
ton and Of science with the interests
of trade. 4. A national system OF
railways and canals. 5. Cheap skill
ed labor working long hours. G.. A
large supply of unskilled laborers
already trained to habits Of order and
discipline by army service. Z. Protec-
tive tariffs. s. A good system Of pat
ent laws. He proposes these remedies
for England. /. The appointment of

before anything is heard of them. but
II Is hoped that Inc experiment may
contribute something to our knowl,
edge of Arctic currents.
h idea was first suggested by Ad-
mlral Melville. who expressed the
opinion in 1897 that valuable data re
latlng to circum-polar currents might
be obtained by setting adrift in the
waters north of Behring strait special
ly constructed casks containing the
requisite records.
A certain percentage of these float
Ing messengers might fairly be ex
pected to survive the perils of the
Arctic pack and be found eventually
IN waters adjacent to Franz Josef
Land. Spitzhergen or Greenland.
h Geographical Society of Phila-
deIphla decided to test this method of
studying the Arctic currents without
e~ndanSering human life. AS the casks
set afloat on foe ice would likely be
subjected to pressure and other yicis-
STUDIES, special attention was given in
making them to the shape and strength
of material.
Inc casks were made of heavy oak
slaves. II and a quarter inches thick.
with iron hoops, two inches wide. A
heavy coating of black waterproofng
was applied to the casks to guard
against corrosion and decay.

casks. printed on linoleum paper In

were placed in each cask. Fifty of
these casks were provided for the ex-
pertinent.
Reports have thus far been received
of the distribution of thirty-iye casks.
twenty-five OF them have been sue
cessfully launched on the great ice
pack north and northeast of Herald
island, which lies off the northeastern
point of Asia.
Nine casks have also been set adrift
on the foe ice off Banks Land by
steam whalers. Banks Land is a part
OF the Arctic archipelago north of this
continent.
These casks have been set adrift
there with a view to testing the prob.
able existence of a northeastern or
north American drift through the
Parry archipelago and along the route

No Reliance in Vaults.

Since it has been proven that the
strongest built vault can easily be
opened by expert safe-crackers. the
treasury department was decided to
add to their massive vaults and COM
plicated locks a novel electric burglar
alarm. While the Government is en-
deavoring to protect the nations
wealth in the best manner possible,
it is very important that we should
endeavor to protect our health from
the inroads of disease. The safest
medicine to do this is Hostetter's Sto'
mach Bitters. By Strengthening the
stomach, perfecting the indigestion
and purifying the blood, it prevents
disease from obtaining a foothold. 1t

POSITIONS VACANT FOR
YOUNG PHYSICIANS.

There is a good demand for clerks
in the pension Office at Washington

medical clerks at a salary of from 5000
to $1,000 per annum
In pursuance of this desire, the civil
service commission will hold examina-
lions at Salt Lake City and Ogden,
Utah. Boise, Ida, and Cheyenne. Wyo..
on January q and IS. 1903, to ecure
eligibles for these positions.
Only graduates of recognized medi-

Observations Of tho Sun.

A complete observation Of all the
variable elements Of the sun is neces-
sary II we are to obtain the key to
solor phenomena and to their connec
ton with weather. magnetic elements
and other terrestrial matter. The
suns face must be photographed daily
so as to record all spots. faculae, ETC.;
the entire chromo-sphere must also
be registered. preferably by automatic
spec,rographs, and the radial veloci-
ties of p~sominences must be deter
mined, also automatically. The spec
troscopic observations outlined in
what %precedes are regularly made at
the observatory Of Meudon and no.
where else on the earth at the pres
ent time. Tho spsctroheliograph
used by Hall of Chicago was not re-
mounted when the Yerkes Observa-
tory was established In 1897. Eng
land has lately resolved to begin q
series Of observations like those Of
Meudon aud Chicago At two stations
one at home and one In India.

Stars Recorded by Photography.

The number of stars recorded on a
Photographic plate depends not only
on the region of the heavens to which
the telescope is directed, but on the
length of exposure. At the Bonn OBJ
.servatory a map of the northern
heavens was made showing every
star visible in a small telescope Of
about three inches aperture. If we
call the number of stars shown on
this map unity the Greenwich photo
graphs with an eleven-inch telescope
show that in twenty seconds three
and a half times as many stars are
recorded; in six minutes fifteen and
a half times as many, and in forty
minutes seventy-three times as
many. By increasing the exposure
more stars are visible, but the in
crease is not indefinitely great. So
far as these observations go they
show either that the number of stars
Is not infinite, or that the light of
stars is absorbed in space.
