Score 10 to Ia

At the bail game Friday which wa.
pulled off between the Beaver married
and single men, the "boys" managed to
capture the game by score of 9 tc
ii. The day being windy, was uufav.
orable for the game and the usual
amount of interest was lacking. Not
only did the wiud prevent good ball
playing but it also 'rGfiled the feath-
ers" of several of the players and al
different lines 1t was necessary to hold
peace conferences before tie game
could be resumed. AS whole the
game was bum--so say the players
themSelves--however, we are prom.
ised better game in the near future.

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

The residents of Southern Cafifor-
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 a nearly boiling
temperature.
