the first sun cook. He began in 1857
to boil water, and IN JOSS he had very
good success ut baking eggs. Sir John
Herschel and Button are other ia

have boiled gallon Of water in twen-
ty minutes, roasted meat in two hours
and poached eggs in fifteen minutes

makes. An odd thing about meat
roasted by sun rays is that 1t has an
unpleasant taste. This Is avoided by

When he took his departure he would
purposely leave his cane. Once out

sketch on card and would usually
find that his memory was deficient as
