Philadelphia, Aug. 25-By using the
principle of the common hotbed by which
farmers grow fresh vegetables in the
dead Of winter. Frank Shuman, a notable
engineer and chemist, thinks he has
solved the old problem Of converting
the heat Of the sun into power at such
low cost that its commercial use is
near at hand.
He has now running an engine that
gets its power from the sun. and it is
so simple that a child can operate it.
Shuman says his machine viii revolu-
tionize the motive power Of the world,
How Machine Is Run.
On the Shuman property in Tacony
there is what looks like a big hotbed.
1sx60 feet. 1t is simply big wooden box
sunk into the ground and covered with a
double top of ordinary hOthOuse glass,
with a one inch air space between the
layers. Instead Of being filled with greens.
it is filed with coiled iron pipes painted

by. The circuit is known as a closed
one. that is. the ether in the pipes is
converted to vapor in the big box, passes
through the engine, developing three and
half horsepower. thence into a con-
densor and back again into the hot
box
No fuel IS used. the heat of the sun
being relied upon to convert the liquid
into vapor. In the tropics water would
take the place of vapor, Shuman says.
Water Can Be Used in Tropics.
The light rays of the sun in this latl-
tude can be converted into heat The
light rays penetrate the double glass
cover and are absorbed and converted
into heat rays by the dark metallic sur
faces of the pipes, The air space pre-
vents the heat from escaping, and what
ever is in the pipes viii boil
If there is water in the pipes, it will be
turned into steam, and that steam can
be used to run an engine, which is just
what it is doing here. This small hot box.
in the tropics. would yield about 80 horse
power.

and many other scientists are coming TO
see the machine work.
Before the Patent Office would take
sny stock in it, an expert was sent on
and he became convinced.

Columbus, o., Jan. 16.-If present
plans go through an organized revolt
against the American Trotting associa-

meeting begun here today by the
county fair managers of the middle

embrace the county fairs of Ohio, In
dianan and Michigan, and later will be
extended to other states.
