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

Cheap Fuel Used by Residents Of
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 a
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 soon
bring the water to nearly boiling
temperature.

It was in the days Of the kingdom.
Some one Of the court Of the dusky
islanders conceived the idea that Ha-

was particularly desired because King
Kalakaua had a row on hand with his
brother monarch at Samoa. So a
navy was acquired.
The navy consisted Of a converted
teakwood trading schooner fitted with

MID.ocEAN DAILY PAPER.

The project to publish daily news
paper on board all great Transatlantic
steamships while at sea is expected
to be In operation next May. News
Is to be furnished by the Marconi
wireless system The Marconigram
says:
THE newspaper will be Of standard
size, and will contain full telegraphic
reports from the Associated Press. Its
advertisements will be contracted for
ashore, and it is expected that very
profitable business will thus be estab-
lished. The combined circulation Of
this journal on board all steamships
will be large enough to warrant its
use by advertisers, whereas the issu-
ance Of different papers on board each
separate vessel renders none OF them
a profitable medium, by reason Of the
comparative small circulation of each.
The protector Of this publication is
e1id to have contracted with the Mar
conf company to receive as many
words per day as the company can
transmit with its present faclllties at
a rate per word which will prove ex-
tremely profitable to the company.
The same matter will be printed in
each edition Of the paper, whether
issued on board the Lucania, the hai-
ser Wilhelm or the Minnehaha.
THE editorial rooms will be located
ashore. either in America OF Europe,
and the news, editorials. and miscel-
laneous matter ror each edition will
be furnished fresh each day by wire

vertiselAents. There are at times a
population Of 10000 to 10000 people

taken that the temperature never

Value of Eaas as zoo.

The more thoroughly an egg has

we would get from this article Of food
its utmost value it should be eaten
either raw OF underdone. Hard-boiled

POLITELY DIsoBEDIENT.

Twenty years ago famous Ameri-
can millionaire. speaking Of his IN
ruly and pampered little son, said with
a smile: "Yes. Harry is politely
disobedient boy" The other day,
after a disgraceful career extending
over two continents, that boy was
placed behind the bars, a prisoner Of
justice His polite disobedience was
but the seed Of future lawlessness.
Obedience is not only the soldiers
first duty. as we have been told, but
the first and most important duty Of
al Of us; and the place to learn 1t Is
in the home; and the time, when we
are children, says. Robert Webster
Jones in the Housekeeper. The dan
ger Of acquiring the vice of disobedi-
ence is not confined to the children
Of the rich alone. It Is a constant
menace IN homes of all grades Of
society. No greater harm can be
done to a child than to permit him to
be disobedient, either politely or I'm

early in life to obey. Obedience to
parents. obedience to teachers, obedi-
ence TO employers, obedience to the
law, are all allied. Failure in the first
means failure In all.
The question is often asked wheth-
er the children Of the present genera
ton are as obedient as were their
parents and grandparents. Certainly
there is not the outward reverence
that characterized the children OF a
former generation. but we need not
say that the feeling Of respect and the
desire TO obey are not there. The dan
ger however is right here: that the
1misaion Of the outward appearance
Of reverence and obedience may lead
In time. to the omission of those vir-
tues themselves. The parent who per-
mits a child to grow up without learn
ing and learning thoroughly this
great lesson Of obedience. commits a
crime against society. There are pris-
