Power From Sunshine.

From the New York Tribune.
Ericsson did not live long enough fully
TO work out a plan for getting power from
the suns heat. though he saw that great
industrial possibilities might attend a sat
isfactory solution of the problem. Accord
ing to Engineering News. other inventors
are still giving il attention. Though the
outcome Of their labcrs is uncertain. ii Is
evident that little progress has been
made In the last two or three years.
The great Swedish engineer proposed to
use a huge concave mirror to concentrate
the suns rays on the boiler of a steam
engine In recent experiments this device
has been abandoned because mechanism
must be provided to move the mirror SO
that il will conform to the changing pos
ton of the IN the heavens 1t has
been obvious also that some method of
storing the suns heat must be provided.

The American masculine claim Of alb
