BUSINESS FEARS
NO HARD TIMES
Concensus of Opinion is That
Conditions Indicate Con-
tinuance of Prosperity.

New York, Aug. 25.-(SpeciaL)-A
conditions such throughout the country
that hard times are coming?
The World has asked this question
of merchants, bankers, brokers. manu-
facturers, capitalists, and farmers in
every section of the United States, and
the answers show a wide divergence of
opinion. In the financial centers of the
e8 st a contraction in business is gener-
ally conceded. That It will lead to hard
times is not believed. General manu-
featuring however, even in tire east, is
reported to be enjoying high prosperity,
the textile industry being especially ia
vored.
In the west the reports show that
commerce is still going on at high
pressure. Counting on fairly good
crops, the fear of hard times is gener-
ally secuted. In the northwest pros
perity is relied on to continue.
The south also reports conditions
looking to a continuance of good times.
Here and there warning is sounded
and by the few the prediction is made
that hard times are coming. In nearly
all sections a reasonable conservatism
is urged and the remark frequently is
made that the pace has been too fast"

To USE
SUNS RAYS
Noted Inventor Has Ma
chine Which Turns Light
to Heat.
RUNS ENGINE WITH IT.
Uses Farmers Hot Box to Raise
Power-Commercial Use Pos
sible Only On Sunny Day.

Philadelphia, Pa. Aug. 26.-By using
the principle of the common hotbed
by which farmers grow fresh vege-
tables in the dead Of winter, Frank
Shuman, engineer and chemist, thinks
he has solved the old problem of con-
verting the heat Of the sun into power
at such a low cost that its commercial
use is possible.
He has now running an engine that
gets its power from the sun and 1t is
so simple that a child can operate it.
Shuman, who is the inventor of the
concrete file used in all skyscrapers
and the wire glass. says his machine
will revolutionize the motive power of
the world.
On the Shuman property in Tacony
there is what looks like a big hotbed,
1Sx60 feet. 1t is simply a big wooden
box sunk into the ground and covered
with a double top of ordinary hot
house glass, with a one inch air space
between the layers.
Instead of being filled with vege-
tables, however, it is filled with coiled
iron pipes. These pipes, which are
filled with ether connect with small
upright engine hard by.

The circuit is known as a CLOSED

three and a half horse power, thence
into a condenser, and back again to
the hot box.
No fuel is used, the heat Of the sun

take the place of ether, Shuman says.
The light rays of the sun in this
latitude can be converted into heat and
they will yield high temperature. In
the tropics this would run to perhaps
500 degrees or higher. The light rays
penetrate the double glass cover and
rays by the dark metallic surfaces of
heat from escaping. and whatever is
in the pipes Will boil.
No Good in Cloudy Weather.
IF there is water in the pipes it
will be turned into steam and that
steam can be used to run an engine.
This small hot box, if in the tropics.
the inventor says, would yield about
thirty horse power.
Chief Moore of the weather bureau
and a string of scientists are coming
to see the machine work. Before the
patent office would take any stock in
it an expert was sent on and he be-
came convinced.

New York Aug 1i.--As parasols are 90 very essential to complete the sum mer Wardrobe, different styles are continually being shown in their icov- erings. Now, paraso1s of pongee are the latest demand. as they do not soil as quickly as plain silks. Some of the plain pongees have colored things and a border to match. Some natural coi- ored pongees have finely scalloped bor- ders of hand-embroidery, with large polka dots or tiny bow knots on the background. Pale blue and pink are the favorite colors, but brown and green are often chosen.
 The fancy beltings were never pret- tier than they are this summer. They look like elastic, but have a slight cord in them, just enough to keep them trig and fit the waistline closely. They are shown in all colors, or white with colored figures, but the daintiest is all white with raised silk figures. The buckles that are worn are merely of frame work. and the belting is fast ened to a slide and catch and run through the buckle itself.
 Some very pretty jacket effects are made of embroidery and all-over lace with trimmings of braid. buttons, me- daIlions and many other things, which are worn over different blouses. These garnitures freshed a separate blouse 50 that it appears like a new one.
 A Metropolitan hat that noticed the other day was made very attractive with wide liberty ribbon folded around the outside of the narrow rolled up brim and a big fiaring bow of many loops set on the left side near the back There was a wreath of small roses which circles around the bow,

 Much attention is being paid to a rainy day outfit. Coats. especially. can be made very attractive when trimmed with buttons, pipings, collar, lapels and pockets. The person who chooses brown for such an outfit, may have shoes. rubbers, and cloth uppers, which protect her ankles from the rain. umbrella, wrist-bag and gloves all to match. Her hat should be of rough straw trimmed with quills, and her col- lar, a stiff linen one, with laundry fin- ish, and heavy brown silk bow tie that will not wilt in the weather.
