The Simplicity of Operating a Solar
Motor.

Ray Stannard Baker. In September Sue
cess: The operation Of u solar motor is
so simple thai it requires very little hui
man labor. When power Is desired the
reflector must me wun into focus, that
Is, po!rts.SeEactly toward the sun, which
is o by turning q crank. This IS not
beyond the power Of a good sized boy.
There is an Indicator which readily shows
when astrue focus is obtained. After this
has been done, the reflector follows the
sun closely all day. In about an hour the
engine can be started by the turn Of the
throttle valve. AS the engine is auto
matte and self-oiling, 1t runs without fur
Their attention. The supply OF water to
the boiler is also automatic, and Is main
tanned at a constant height without any
danger of too much OF too little water.
Steam pressure Is controlled by means OF
a safety valve. so that 1t may never reach.
a dangerous spoint. The steam passes
from the engine to the condenser and
thence to the boiler. and the process Is
repeated indef Nelly.
Having now a selar motor, lot us see
what II is good for, and what la expected
of 1t. OF course, when the sun does not
i shine, the motor does not work, SO tina
its usefulness wouldab be much curtailed
in a very cloudy country like England,
for instance, but here In Southern Cali
fornia and In all the desert region Of the
United States and Mexico. to say nothing
of the Sahara in Africa. where the sun
shines almost continuously. the solar mo-
tor has It's greatest sphere of usefulness
and, indeed, its greatest need; these lands
OF long su~nshine-the desertsNare also the
lands OF parched fruitfulness. with little
rain, 80 that the invention of a motor
which will utilize sunshine for pumpinR
water has a peculiar value here.

One day, while walking with my mother
In Londonl over the bridge, we were at

luisite singing of a thrush. The old cou-
pie who lived in it were very poor and
heir richest possession was the thrush
which sang outside in a wicker cage. After
listening for a few moments my mother
asked if they would be Wiling to sell the
thrush to her. The bargain was made,
The double of the sum they named was
paid by my mother, who sent q servant
the next morning to claim her purchase.

choly bird, which dropped and hung its

we whistled, but 1t remained silent, mo-
tionless and moping. My mother felt as
much dignatio as was consistent with
her gentle nature. She was not suspicious,
but 1t looked as If another bird had been
palmed off upon US. She waited several
days, when her patience was exhausted
and she sent for the late owner. The door
opened and my mother advanced to meet
him, but neither of them was allowed to
speak,, for no ooner did the old man make
MS appedTdlce IN the room than the bird
leaped down from its perch, opened Its
wings and broke into so triumphant a
song of joy that It seemed as If the whole
room yibrated with the melody. why, my

Hamilton Wright Mabie: The high

the more completely does itAexpress
his personality. There are forms OF
work so rudimentary that the touch
OF individuality is almost entirely alb
sent, and there are forms of work SO
obstructive and spiritual that they are
instantly and finally associated with
one man. The degree in which a man
Municipalities his work and gives II
the quality of his W mind and spirit
is. therefore, the measure of his success
in giving his nature free and full ex-

Easy to Get.

Iced is the experience of Mr.. A.. s..

For many years this old gentleman
,ad suffered with a very unpleasant

would have to get up four or five times
very night, and this very tiresome dis
Ease was fast wearing him out.

.ine which relieved him almost imme-
lately, and has cured him perma nent-

simple that Mr.. Turner thinks every
ane should know of it. Every dealer
n the country has it, and all you have
% do is to ask for Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Il can heartily and honestly recon-
mend Dodd's Kidney Pills for they

LONDON DROUGHT BROKEN.
Heavy HailstOrm Ends Long Dry Spell
Causing Considerable Damage
Plague Of Mosquitoes.

New York, July IA. The heat wave
has suffered an interruption, says Her
aid dispatch from London. Thunder
and hailstorms have brought the tenn
perature to below normal for the time Of
the year. London's absolute drought OF
% days was broken. In Matlock and the
neighborhood thunderstorm was fol-
lowed by binding showers of large hail
stones. The ground was soon covered
as though with snow. The rainfall
rushed from the hills into the valley,
literally making river of Bath Parade,
flooding the shops and houses.
A large part of Lincolnshire felt the
effects of the storm to an extraordinary
extent. Hailstones broke the lamps and
house windows, to say nothing of the
thick glass windows of train from
Newark.
The wreckage at Newark itself. where
the storm extended over an area Of four
miles, included the smashing through
of the glass roof of the railway station
and much damage was done to growing
crops throughout the storm area.
Life is becoming a burden hard to be
borne in the suburbs of London border
ing upon the Lower Thames by reason
of plague of mosquitoes. .
