UTILIZING THE SUMS RAYS.
Cheap Fuel Used by Residents Of
Southern California

Southern California.
The residents of Southern Califor'
MIA have gone into partnership with
the sun. There the sun is more plen
tiful than coal, and so they put the
former to work, utilizing the heat
rays for many purposes. one of which
Is known as the SOLAR water heater.
BY the plan they have adopted they
make the sun heat the water in the
kitchens and bathrooms in the houses
and for other domestic purposes. In
California and other states where the
sun may be depended on the item OF
fuel is entirely eliminated, and how
ever cheap fuel may be, no fuel is
cheaper than the sun.
The domestic arrangement for keep
ing water hot at all hours of the day
or night is effected by inserting in the
roof a solar heater, consisting of q
number of mirrors rejecting the suns
rays, so that the heat is concentrated
upon the water in metallic troughs
which absorb the heat rays and soor
bring the water to a nearly boiling
temperature.
