THE SUN-MOTOR.

When congress last June passed what is
known rs the irrigation law it builded per-
haps better than it knew. For years many
men have looked YEARLY over the arid lands
of the desert West and sighed for some pow
er which might give them water at cost
commensurate with the necessities OF the IN
stance In ten thousand different spots
lie level plains far removed from habltat1on,
but of character known to develop the
Most amazing fertility at the waters magic
touch. The mountains grant no melting
snow for such places, but the vivifying wa
ter underlies them all. To get at it is easy;
to get it to use continuously is quite diff
ferent matter under conditions that have
hitherto obtained. The power question is
easily solved, but the cost Of the solution
has placed the irrigation of such lands be-
yond the commercial reach Of men. Only
some power supplied by the topography it
self will suffice. That which entails ponder
Gus engines and incessant transportation OF
fuel is out of the question. Distance IN this
case strikes all enchantment from the view.
But the solution of the problem seems to
be at hand The more arid the soil, the
more burning the glare of the sun, the great
err now seems to shine the star of hope. The
sun motor seems to be an accomplished
William E. Curtis, an entire sun motor plant
large enough to develop ten to twelve horse
power and pump to raise 1000 to 1900
gallons of water a minute to an elevation
OF twelve feet costs less than $4,000, and
when complete weighs less than tour tons.
One of these SUN motors has been working
continuously IN an orange grove near Pasa-
dena, Cal, for the last two years and has
done it's work we'll and without hitch. This
wonderful machine was made IN Boston,
where a second has of late been built and
tested for an Arizona fruit farm. 1t has
been examined by 100000 persons, and even
in the comparatively sunless climate of the
old Bay State has proved entirely success
full. The entire apparatus consists OF g1-
gat1tic mirror in the shape Of a hollow in
verified cone This is set on an axis pointing
north and south and regulated clockwork
so that it turns automatically toward the
sun as it apparently travels from east to
west This keeps the mirrors in focus and
throws the heat rays, like the boys burning
glass, on the boiler, which stands in the
center of the mirror. This boiler is coated
with mica and in an hour from sunrise
steam is up the mirrors throwing the re-
hected light and heat on all sides of the
boiler. The power is continuous so long as
the sun Shines and all the labor needed to
run the machinery is that of one man.
1t is only necessary to set the clockwork
going when the sun peeps over the horizon.
Care then in the proper regulation and oil
ing of the machinery incident to the work
that is being done In the case of the sun

operated as we'll as the pump for which it
was originally designed. Mr.. Curtis states
that cOmDetent engineers have examined the

New York, July 27-The body of q
man who killed his woman companion

Rome, July 27.-The vatican resem-
bles an ant hill, 50 feverish is the
work of preparing the part of that
part of that building set aside for the
conclave. Before 1870 conelaves were
held in the quirinal palace, one long
wing of which was always ready with
out any special preparation. But in
the case of the vatican apartments,
three or four rooms for each cardinal
have to be specially prepared, and as
there are Ga cardinals the amount of
work involved is very great. The sec
ton destined for the conclave com
prises, on the ground floor of the
vatican, the three suites which sur
round the famous court of San Da-
maso, the rooms under the late pope's
apartment and the tower with the
rooms about the sala Lucale. On the
second floor the rooms about lOggia
Raphael and the pontifical offices,
comprising all the apartments form
erly occupied by Cardinal Rampolla,
who has left the vatican altogether,
will be used. The whole will furnish
commodious lodging for about 500

lanes R. Keene Interviewed at His
Country Home on the FL
nancial Outlook.
A VERY EXTRAORDINARY SITUATION,
Business In Good. Crops Are ExceA-
lent, and the Gross Earnings OF
the Railroads Larger Than They
Were Last Year, Yet the Pubic
Have No Confidence.

New York, July 27.-In connection
with the failures in Wall street,
James r. Keene, whose son-in-law's
house, T. j. Taylor & Co., was
among those to suspend, is quoted by
the Herald as follows in an inter-
view at his country home at Cedar
hurst:
1T is a very extraordinary situa-
ton, and for some reason or other the
public refuses to buy. 1t has been
out of the stock market for two or
three months, and it's reappearance in
Wall street would be a welcome sight
in that gloomy financial district"
DO you think that the general
prosperity is likely to be affected by
the serious decline in stocks?' was
asked.
Il don't see why it should be-" Mr..
Keene replied. Business is good,
crops are excellent, and gross earn
ings of railroads are larger than they
were last year. 1 have no doubt their
net earnings will be CORRESPONDENCE
large. In spite of all this, people
have no confidence. They are appalled,
at the tremendous decline that has
taken place, the explanation for
which had not been reasoned out by
them.
1.-The extremity of the danger
should bring relief from a concert of
the financial and railroad interests
to stop a further decline, which must
gather force if it continues. Per
haps the best reason for the present
situation has been the absolute I'M
= lo1S
time to buy securities. If you have
sellers and few buyers it is easy to
predict the result.
81 believe over-capitalization and
the disastrous collapse of three or
four recently-organized trusts have
paralyzed the buyer, produced gen
eral fright and terrible liquidation of
good securities to protect bad ones.
Despite this liquidation, which has re-
duced the average values of securities
35 per cent. bank loans have not
been reduced nor has the surplus been
materially increased.
ct would be natural to look for a
corresponding decrease in bank loans
in consequence. This has not oc-
Cured, and ! have not seen any one
yet who has fathomed the reason for
it. 1t may be safely said that this
singular result, so contrary to all
previous experiences, has caused
much anxiety and produced grave APP
prehensions.
Explanation of it may be possible
from people who understand the in
tricacies of the movement of money
and shifting of loans. Buyers surely
will be attracted, however, as in
Wall street commissions of the past"

meetings of the cardinals and the bal
loting. There, after three solemn fu-
neral services, which begin Tuesday,
will be erected throne for each car
dinal. Over the throne will be cano-
pies attached to the wall behind. The
moment a new pope is elected he Will

his new dignity, thus silently an

used for the celebration of high mass
every morning of the conclave, while
in the bala ducale will be movable al
tars for the masses to be celebrated
every morning by each cardinal.
Guards to Be Transferred.
The gendarmes and palatine guards
will be transferred to tie building in
the Belvedere court yard where the
Door pilgrims were lodged during the
last jubilee, the gendarmes barracks
being transformed into kitchens,
pantries, etc. The Belvedere court
yard will be converted into general
quarters for the carpenters and other
workmen. The court yard is quite UNI
recognizable. The long lines of glass
windows of the loggia Raphael have
been painted up to a certain height,
as a precaution, and shades have been
put on every window to better insure
secrecy. Assurances have been given
that everything will be in readiness
for Friday night, but there is much
yet to be accomplished.
A Political Discussion
The cardinals, Monday, again dis
cussed the advisabiiity of sending a
note to the powers regarding the con-
dition of the Holy See. Some of them
insisted on the necessity of not al
lowing the occasion to pass without
again protesting against the seizure
of the pontifical territory by Italy,
thereby showing that the papacy is
determined to maintain its claims un-
abated Others said they thought a
note would not add any force to the
many protests of the same kind al
ready made, while it might interfere
with the policy which the future pope
may desire to follow, and added that
the best thing to do was to leave the
successor of Leo XIII. entirely free
to choose the course which he may
