THE SUN OUR SAVIOR.
Its Rays Expected to Furnish Hea
 and Power for all Mans Needs.

The worlds coal supply Will not last forever. Indeed, at the rate at which it is now being used it will not even last for many scores of years says the Circle.
 Among the possible substitutes for producing power, practical scientists look to the suns heat as one that Will certainly be of frst-rate importance in the future. According to the late Professor Langlex from every square yard of earth exposed perpen- dicularly to the suns rays. there could be derived more than one horsepower. Thus in the area of a city like New York the noontide heat on a sunny day is sufficient to drive all the steam engines in the world.
 According to Sir William Slemens. Whoever finds the way to make in dustrially useful the vast sunpower now wasted on the deserts of North Africa Or the shores of the Red Sea will effect greater change in mems affairs than any conqueror in history has done."
 Several inventors have put the idea to practical test NJ. Mouchot con structed a solar engine that looked like gigantic inverted umbrella. The parabolic reflector concentrated the heat on a boiler in the focus, so that a steam engine could be driven with 1t. MT Ericsson made improvements on this device. but hitherto it has not been founud possible to keep low enough the cost of utilizing the fo- cussed heat.
 Nicola Tesla. the we'll known cleo trical inventor, has been working at this problem. Il hope some day he recently declared. with an apparatus I have invented is to harness the rays of the sun that that body will operate every machine in our fac tories. propel every train and carriage in our streets, and do all the cooking in our homes. as. well as furnish all the light that man may need by night as we'll as by day. It will replace all wood and coal as a producer of mo- tive power and heat and electric light ing"
 His idea is simple enough. consist ing, as it does. of concentrating the heat of the run on a focal point by series of mirrors and magnifying glasses. and the great heat so pro- duced is directed upon glass cylin- der filled with water. This last-named is chemically prepared. so that 1t rapidly evaporates into steam.
 The steam is made to operate a steam engine. which. in turn. gener- ates electricity. This electricity is received by storage batteries. and a vast and cheap supply is generated for all purposes. With thousands of these sun stations dotted about here and there. the problem of motive power supply would seem to be solved. The chief difficulty with the Tesla solar engine is the cost of storing tine batteries and keeping them stored.

WANTS HEAVY DAMAGES.
Former Middletown Resident Gives Mayor Fisher a Scare.

Middletown, Nov 9.-Mayor Wil- lard c. Fisher received a registered letter Thursday that gave him the greatest shock he has experienced since his official life began, and for time caused him more or less uneasi- ness. h the left-hand corner of the envelope there was printed, Charles F. H. Ebel, attorney and counselor at law, 2O1 West One Hundred and Twenty fifth street, New York" A letter was inclosed, signed by Mir Ebel, anonuncing that he had claims against the city of Middletown and the county of Middlesex, aggregating $66O,55O The letter, which was a lengthy one, cited various reasons why the city and county were liable to the writer in such heavy damages. Mir Ebel informed the mayor that in 1903 great enormities" were inflicted on him by Judge Pearne, NJ. Eugene Culver, at that time prosecuting att torney of the city court, and the late Judge John NJ. Murdock. Chief of Police 1nglis was also a party to the alleged wrongs. In concluding his somewhat unique letter, MT Ebel sug- gested that a prompt settlement of his claims would save the city and coun- ty great expense through litigation. If Mayor Fisher had known Mir Ebel when he was a resident of this city several years ago, he would not have become unnecessarily agitated over the contents of the letter. The mayor, after reading the letter, sought the chief of police and learned in all probability what inspired the very un- usual letter. MT Ebel was at one time the proprietor of blaming mill at the foot of College street. He was re- garded as very eccentric man. He had a violent temper and frequently became enraged at those with whom he came in contact, without any ap- parent cause. One day. while George Sweet was at work in the mill. Mir Ebel accused him of using some of his tools without permission. MT Sweet saw the mental condition of Ebel and tried to remonstrate with him, whereupon Ebel grabbed chiseI and stabbed Sweet in the groin. He was subsequently arrested on charge of assault with intent to kill and was finally committed to the Connecticut Hospital for the Insane Immediate ly after his release he threatened to sue the city and every person con- nected with his arrest and commit ment for heavy damages. He finally went to New York and nothing has been heard of him until Mayor Fisher received the letter referred to

HAUSER'S DEER A SKUNK.
State Treasurer Plays a Comedy Role
 as Nimrod.

New York, Nov 9-State Treasur- CT Julius Hauser shot skunk by mis- take for deer on Wednesday, the opening day of the deer season of 1907 on Long Island. And. what is worse. he didn't know it was a skunk until he had approached sufficiently near to cause hIs nose to go up in the air.
 Hauser. State Engineer Frederick Skene. and Messrs Rueff. O'COnnor, and Mason. part of the official Albany family. are the guests of Andrew Kennedy. at Sayville. l.. I. On We'd nesday they sallied forth after deer. They stationed themselves for drive" and their guide started to, round up the game. Presently there was a crashing sound in the under brush. and Hauser's gun belched forth.
 You've got him. It must he big buck" shouted his companions.
 With chest thrust out the gallant huntsman stalked forward. his long keen knife ready to give the finishing thrust and end the life of the deer. That thrust was never made. Instead Hauser dropped his knife and seized his nose.
 Hes decompOsed fast. boys" he said. \ skunk lay at his feet.
 Then followed a laugh that ended the deer hunt for that day.

 Joseph Bagley who until injured in the Acorn game was member of the All Waterbury team is rapidly recovering for the injuries received.
 Cyrus Stigberg Is the leader In the pool tournament going on at the Brooklyn Athletic club. Unless he falls off in his play he has a good chance of winning out.
 MT and Mrs John F. Dunphy of Charles street celebrated their tin wedding last evening. A large num- Der of their friends called at the couples home, bringing with them all kinds of tinware. The celebration lasted until far into the morning.
 The Bank street bridge is once more up for repairs. The east side for pedestrians was closed to-day as new planking was being put down on that side. The bridge is patched up about steen times during the year. And then it is never in decent condi- tion. 4
 William Preston, a farmer from Bethlehem, called at Smiths drug store yesterday and asked to have his eye dressed. His right optic was in terrible shape due he said from a fall from his wagon. Although the eye was injured so badly that MT Smith advised him to consult phy- sician.
 Louis Cronin, captain of the All Waterbury team, said he was pretty sure that "Bill' Mahaney would be in the game against Bridgeport this af- ternoon. Although Mahaney was thinking of quitting the game, the Waterbury captain said he was con- fdent that Mahaney would consider his plans about going into retirement
 It is said that a number of the employees of the Waterbury Farrel Foundry and Machine company will be laid off this evening. Two weeks ago several men in the factory were laid off and more are likely to be thrown out of work because of the dull times. As Brooklynlte remark ed this morning business is pretty slow when the Farrel foundry is not on full time.
 The Brooklyn amateur polo team will undoubtedly play a good game when it gets going. It will need to be right on to the job as the other teams are strengthening. Lew Walker is said to have been signed by Manager William Cleary of the Ham, ilton park team. Still the Brooklyn team should be able go some with three of the players of Go G which won the pennant last year.

A PRODUCT OF MILK.

Ghiaiiti. lis SO Strong You Could Build
House With II.
You could build a house of milk Ii
you liked, and it would be as strong
aud lasting as though made of Aber-
deem granite, says NJ. Glen Fling in
Technical World Magazine. Moreover,
all the fittings could be made of the
same substance and they would out
live the finest ordinary material that
was ever constructed.
Billiard tables. combs, fancy boxes
and many other things are made from
galalith. which is made from milk.
There is really no limit to the arti-
cles which can be made from galalith.
1t takes dyes readily, and inferior
grades are colored. The best remain
white. however. for white galalith
brings the highest price because of its
similarity to ivory. The first grade of
galalith is made up into knife handles,
and 1t brings almost as high figure
as would so much ivory.
Galalith is the best substitute for
Ivory ever discovered, for it is smooth
to the touch, retains its soft, creamy
tinting for years. is not married by soap
and water and, unlike celluloid, is
proof against fire. 1t does not chip or
crack like bone and can be cut into the
most delicate shapes, being tough and
not easily broken.

Jacob Kleespies.

Mr.. Jacob Kleespies, one of the
pioneer residents of Arcadia, died
rather suddenly Saturday morning
at ) o'clock at his residence in East
Arcadia of cancer Of the stomach
Although it was known that he
could not recover from the dreaded
disea Sc, death came as a surprise,
as he had been lingering since last
October, but seemingly not getting
much worse, loosing considerable
flesh, however, on account of not
being able to take solid nourish-
ment. MIR Kleespies bore his cross
patiently, never murmuring one
bit, although he must have suffered
intense pain. About the first OF
the year he took to his bed since
when he had, until death relieved
his suffering, been belfast.
Deceased was born in Bavaria,
Jan. 18th, 1919. At the age of ell
even years he emigrated to America,
first settling-in New York City and
after a residence of scven years there
ne came to Petersburg, Ia, where
he resided with his parents. On
Sept. 10, 1871, he was married to
Miss Mary Harmeier and after res
ldence on farm near Petersburg
until the spring of 1879, they remov-
ed to Arcadia where outside of few
months residence in Carroll, they
resided ever since.
He is survived by his wife, five
sons and two daughters, Mrs. L.
Vonderheide, George, John, Mrs.
John Drees of Templeton, William,
Leo of Granville, and Henry. De-
ceased was member of the r. G.
Nj. P. s., of Iowa and the German
Verein of Arcadia, both of which
attended the funeral in body. The
funeral was held Tuesday at 10 o.
clock from st. Johns Catholic
church and large concourse of rel
Fatives and friends followed the
earthly remains to its resting place.
