Sun Cooking.

Sun cooking-roasting and boiling
by sunlight instead Of by coal or gas
has been going on for 800 years.
There are sun stoves that roast sir
loin or boil a soup to perfection.
They are only used, however, by scien-
lists. A sun stove consists mainly of
a mirror-a spherical mirror-on a
joint There is also a reflector. The
place for pot or plate is so situated
that the mirrors rays can be focused
on it accurately.
A German, Baron Tcherhausen, was
the first sun cook. He began in 1887
to boil water, and in 1858 he had very
good success in boiling eggs. Sir John
Herschel and Button are other famous
names associated with sun cooking
In California various sun cooks have
boiled a gallon of water in twenty
minutes, roasted meat in two hours
and poached eggs in fifteen minutes
quite as good time as the ordinary fire
makes.
An odd thing about meat roasted by
sun rays is that 1t has an unpleasant
taste. This is avoided by the insertion
of a plate of yellow glass between the
meat and mirror. In all solar stoves

Status Of ..Bulk sales" LAWS.

The validity of statutes requiring
merchants to file notice of their inten-
ton to sell the whole or large part of
their stocks has been lately passed upon
by a number of the courts of last resort
of the several states, says Eli Grocer
and General Merchant.
Different constructions have been put
upon similar acts by different courts;
and some of the states have upheld acts
that other of the states have declared
to be unconstitutional; so that the law
in regard to this subject, at the present
time, is in a much confused condition.
Mr.. Everett R. Roeder, one of the
leading attorneys and counsellors of st.
Louis, furnishes the following with re-
gard to "bulk sales'' legislation:
Almost all, if not all, legislation upon
this subject is of recent date. One of
the latest decisions upon the matter is
that of the Supreme Court of Connecti-
cut in the case of Young VS.. LemiOux,
in which the validity of the "bulk sale"
law of that state is sustained. The court
held that the act of that state, which
passed in 1908, was a proper exercise of
the police power of the state and that it
did not interfere with property rights
The constitutionality of the Connecticut
law as passed upon in the case of
Young VS.. Lemioux was also sustained
| by federal court.
A New York law of 1902, relating to
the same subject, was declared to be
unconstitutional. The law was later
amended and in it's amended condition
was upheld. The first act declared a sale
in violation of the act absolutely void,
while the second one substituted the fol
lowing provision, "Will be presumed to
be fraudulent"
A Pennsylvania law conforming in
construction to the second New York
act was sustained.

DISCIPLINE.
Tho Way Binks Tried 1t on His Six

The Way Binl1s Tried 1t on His Six
mOnths-Old Baby.
Binks had sent Mrs. Binks on a
visit to her mother, and he was on
the job with the six-months-old baby.
In the night the baby woke and
cried. Binks looked at his watch
three-quarters of an hour till bottle
time He said to himself:
Let him yell. He's healthy little
Indian, and he must be disciplined"
Then Binks tried to sleep.
But Binks couldn't sleep. Every cry
grew more pathetic and abused and
heartsick and discouraged. Each cry
said more and more plainly: Il have
no friends or relatives. I'm unhappy
and uncomfortable and want some one
10 be good to me-"
But Binks, the stubborn and stiff
necked, stuck it out, though each cry
stabbed him clear through.
Finally (maybe he set it forward a
bit-who knows?) Binks' watch an
nounced the arrival of bottle time. He
went to the icebox for the food, heat
ed 1t and took it to his now family
sobbing infant son.
But the infant son could not take
the bottle. He choked on the first swal-
low, then put up his hands and re-
newed his wordless plea to the big
man he could see dimly through his
tears.
Then that father said, Discipline be
hanged" Maybe, though, 1t wasn't
hanged" he said, but the vowel
sound is right, anyway. He took up
that baby, and the baby stuck to his
daddy like fly paper. Further at
tempts to lay him down were futile
He wanted no food, but heart food, no
milk but that of human kindness. So
the big man laid that baby beside him
on the pillow; the baby put one rose
petal hand to his fathers stubby
cheek, gave a long, quivering, salts
fed sigh and slept for six unbroken
hours.
AS Blnks lay there, afraid to still
lest he disturb the little one and feel
ing like a horse thief because he had
let the love hungry infant cry his
heart out, he repeated frequently:

to the New York law which was de-
clared unconstitutional, was upheld by
the Supreme Court of that state, but a
different construction was put upon the
act.
The "bulk sale" law Of Georgia was
upheld, the court in it's opinion holding
that the law does not deprive one of his
property without due process of law,
nor does it abridge the rights and i'm
munities of citizens, and that it does
deny the equal protection of law, and is
not class legislation.
A Michigan statute substantially like
that of Georgia was also sustained, while
the 1909 law of Ohio was held unconsti-
tutional as tending to deprive a person
of his property without due process of
law, as being repungent to the provision
guaranteeing equal protection of the
law; and as being not concerned with
the police power.
"Bulk sale" laws of Minnesota,
Washington and Tennessee have been
upheld as being valid, while those of
Utah, Indiana and Illinois have been de-
clared to be unconstitutional.
In Wisconsin the only case involving
the ''bulk sale'' law of that state did
not involve the constitutionality of the
law.

In caribou hunting as rule the

out the apparently best head and
brought it down.
AS the report echoed throughout the

take longer, but there on the hillsides
in the clearings is the game in full
view, and though requiring hours to
stalk few mistakes are apt to be con-
sciously made.
Each year adds some knowledge to
the pursuit Of caribou. They are gen
orally found in herds of from three
to twenty, and some experts can call
them the same as moose. This, how
