HITcHINe THE SUN.
Electric Motors Run by the Sun Fur.
nlsh Light and Power.

Electric Motors Run by the Sun Fur.
nlsh Light and Power.
Electric power from sunlight appears
moro wonderful than Harvesting tho
streams Of wind. Yet we know some
thing Of the vast heat OF the sun.
Solar engines for operating pumps
have been In use In different parts Of
the earth for several years now, and
their value In warm climates, where
tho number Of days OF clear sunshine
averages high, must steadily increase.
One Of the most successful OF these
solar machines IL located near Los An
geles to irrigate fruit land, says a
writer In st. Nicholas. An automatic
stand carrying great renectors follows
the course Of the san as regularly as
the best telescope ever made, and the
SUMS rays are thus reflected on a cen
trail point, where the boiler of q email
engine il located. Within an hour aft
or sunrise the heat Of the sun raises
the temperature Of the water to the
boiling point and thus creates steam,
and the pumping machinery begins It's
days work and keeps It up until sun
down.
The power Of the sun for heating has
only been family appreciated by sclen-
lists In the past, but the prediction Is
made now that II all the coal should
give out we would soon DO able to run
much OF our machinery from the pow
or OF the sun, With 500 mirrors prop
erly arranged to focus the rays upon
one point a temperature Of more than
1000 degrees has been obtained. This
almost equals one-nfth the highest tenn
perature recorded by the electric fur
mace, which Is considered today the
most powerful heating apparatus ever
discovered. AZ there Is no limit to the
number OF mirrors that may be EN-
ployed and as the intensity OF the heat
increases In proportion to the number
OF rays reflected by the mirrors, 1t Is
conceivable that temperature may be
obtained In time that win surpass any
thing ever dreamed Of In the past or
present.
Hltehing the sun to run electric mo.
tors for furnishing light and power for
our homes and factories ls the very
latest achievement Of the modern work
Of Harvesting the elements 10 do mans
