CHEAPEST POWER YET.


l,un isis' iugiuc.
Philadelphia, Aug. 2S.-Rv usin-
the principle of the common hot-bed
by which farmers grow fresh veorta =
bleS in the dead of winter. Frank
Shuman. chemist, thinks he has solv
ed the old problem of converting the
suns heat into power. He now has
an engine running that gets its power
from the sun. Shuman, who is the
inventor of the concrete file used in
skyscraper construction and Of the
wire glass, says his machine will rev.
olutionlze the motive power Of the
world.
On the Shuman property in Tacony
there Is a wooden box 60 feet sunk
into the ground. 1t is covered with a
double top of ordinary hot-house glass
with one-inch air space between the
layers. Instead of being filled with
green's it is filled with coiled iron
pipes. painted black. These pipes,
filled with ether, connect with a small
upright engine. the ether is convert
ed into vapor in the bib box passes
through the engine, developing three
and half horsepower, thence into a
condenser and back again to the hot
bed. No fuel is used, the heat Of the
sun converts the liquid into vapor.
The light rays of the sun in this
latitude, Shuman says, can yield a
temperature Of about $50 to 450
degrees.
The rays pentrate the double glass
cover and are absorbed and converted
into heat rays by the dark metallic
surface Of the pipes. The air space
prevents the heat from escaping, and
whatever is in the pipes will boil. If
there is water in the pipes it will be
turned into steam, and the steam can
be used TO run an engine, which is just
what is being done here.
Chief Moore Of the weather bureau
and several scientists are coming to
see the machine work. Shuman, who
Is a wealthy man, frankly admits that
his machine will not run in cloudy
weather.
