TO HARNESS sun And OCEAN
TIME COMING WHEN THEY WILL
BE PUT TO WORK FOR MAN.
Experiments Now Being Carried on
10y Practical Machinists Indi-
cate Final Success.

A New York machinist has small
tank with two compartments which
are connected. Into one he pOurs
pail of water, and in the other is a
series of floats. Mechanically he
agitates the water in such way that
he produces the up and down motion
of the waves and the floats rise and
fall as ships at anchor. BY means
of an ingenious gearing the move
ment of the floats is made to revolve
a shaft and the shaft is so connected
that it transforms the mechanical
force into electric energy. Within
a minute of the time he starts to
make his waves a small electric fan
will begin to revolve, and a tiny
electric bulb will light up.
The inventor says that this expert
ment has been carried out on a large
scale in the ocean itself. Moreover,
this Harvesting of wave power by
means Of floats is no new achieve
ment. 1t has been accomplished by
several men in several ways. This
paCticular inventor is not dreamer.
He is practical machinist who daily
directs the energies of a dozen other
machinists in a typewriter factory.
He Row proposes a system whereby
power stations may be established
anywhere along the seashore, con-
nected with large floats anchored off
shore 1t is the connecting device,
only. for which he claims originality.
Another man in New York would
harness the sun. He, too, is a practi-
cal man. and will show you that he
can drive fans and light lamps with
electricity drawn from the suns
rays. This inventor has a much
wider horizon. All that he asks is
fiat surface exposed to the direct
rays of the sun. He has visions of
busy factories whose wheels are
turned by the power that comes from
the alloy on the roof; of ships cross
ing the Atlantic with power being
steadily manufactured on the top
most deck.
But what will happen in cloudy
weather." you ask. The surplus en-
ergy that is generated on bright days
Will be accumulated in storage bat
terieS for emergency use.
1t IS quite possible that neither of
the inventors have actually brought
these alluring possibilities within the
limits of commercial success. Yet
the fact that even experimental sue
cess has been attained shows the way
in which another generation may car
ry on its work, even when coal and
wood are on the road to exhaustion.
1t would certainly not be amazing
If we should live to see both the
ocean and the sun working in har-
ness Neither task is as incredible
as the wireless telephone was. There

NOW MUSKRATS FOR FOOD
SECRETARY WILSON'S PLAN TO
BAFFLE THE BEEF TRUST.
Urges the Establishment of Muskrat
Farms. Where They May BE
Raised For Pelts and Food.

Z aEltiS. w HtEo 4ncf May DC
Raised For PeIts and Food.
The humble muskrat, chief inhabi-
tant of thousands of streams and
marshes throughout the country, has
found a defender and a friend. No
less a person than Secretary of Agri-
culture James Wilson advocates the
conservation of the musquash, as the
Indians call it, as an article of food.
| Secretary Wilson has been doing
some rather notable things lately,
not the least of them being the prep
aration of his official cook book,
aimed to lessen somewhat the high
cost of living. But he has also
found time to make a thorough in
vestigation of the muskrat's claim to
be considered as a possible source of
food supply.
He has found that the country
has been failing to appreciate the
edible qualities of this furry little
denizen of the creeks and swamp
lands. The field agents of the de-
partment presided over by Secretary
Wilson have been making some in
vestigations and have found that the
muskrat already enjoys an excellent
reputation in some parts of the
United States as a table delicacy.
They are found in nearly every part
of the country where there is enough
water to hide them. From the Rio
Grande to the Great Lakes they bur-
row in the creek banks and build
their mud houses in the marshes.
Their wide distribution falls in
with the department of agricultures
plans perfectly. Here is an almost
ineXhaustible food supply that will
worry the trust magnates into prema-
ture gray hairs, because of their in
ability to corner it. The beef trust
will see it's strangle hold on the
family table loosen up wonderfully
if the army of chuck and round steak
eaters can be persuaded to try the
flesh of the musk rat as a substi-
tute. In the east there is already
steady market for muskrat meat
all through the months of winter.
The hunters get out in the marshes
in the latter days of November and
begin trapping and shooting the
muskrat by the wagon load. They
sell at 10 cents apiece in the retail
markets of Baltimore, Philadelphia
and New York until the latter part
OF March.

A ToothsOme DeIiCacy.

The Indians were the first to eat
the muskrat. BY them he was es-
teemed as very toothsOme delcacy,
and was a feature of their tribal
feasts and great festivals. They
boiled him along with the corn ears
in late summer and early fall and
ate him by the light of the camp fire.
The colonists of New England; in
fact, of all the old settlements along
the Atlantic, learned to eat the mus
quash from their red friends and en-
emies. He was a principal feature
in some of the colonial banquets
whose details have been preserved
until modern times. The ancient
lovers of the good things of the ia
bic speak with lingering fondness of
, the delights of a dish of muskrat
cooked after the Indian fashion with
green corn.
The muskrat in the proper sense
of the word is not a rat at all. He
is more nearly a beaver, and he has
none of the deplorable tendencies of
| the rodent. His flesh is a very dark
red, and is inclined to be quite ten
| der. 1t has a strong flavor at times.
due to his eating the highIy-favored
roots of many water plants. He
lunches from the green and growing
things along the creeks and swamps.
In order to eradicate this faint taste
of bitterness from the meat thor
ough soaking of an hour or two in
salt water will be necessary Then
the flesh is rinsed clear of all traces
of the salt fluid and allowed to dry
before cooking.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1910-06-08
Urges Muskrat Farms.

Secretary Wilson, fearful that if
the muskrat comes to be regarded as
food factor war of determination
will be waged against him, urges
that muskrat farms be established
and steps taken to conserve the sup
ply. He dreams of the day when men
will own herds of muskrats that will
feed along the waste places of the
rivers now given over to wild things.
He will urge that the muskrat be
given just as much protection as any
other animal that is of value for it's
flesh or its pelt.
The farmer is at present the un-
relenting and merciless foe of the
muskrat. The furry little animal
plays havoc with corn fields that lie
in the bottom lands. AS soon as the
stalks get as high as a mans should
er and the ears have begun to form
the musquash suddenly discovers that
green corn stalk and ears are mighty
good eating

Killed For Their Pelts.

Immense numbers of muskrats are
killed for their pelts. Muskrat sales
in London, to which most of the pelts
find their way, have averaged 4 900 -
600 a year for the past two decades
Last year 5000 of the animals we're
killed on a muskrat farm on Lake
Erie.
Dorchester county, Maryland, is
the center of muskrat production in
the east. Ten or Is years ago some
far-seeing trapper bought all the land
in the swamps that was for sale at
80 cents an acre. His next move was
to put stop to all muskrat trap
ping on his new lands. After a few
years had passed he called all the
trappers of the neighborhood in a
meeting and made a proposition TO
them. He owned the land; thew
owned the traps and the time and
the skill. He offered them one-half
the value of the fur and all the meat

will instruct Mr. MalcOm to make for
NAL application for free fare for the
officers.
"The executive officers of the board
are virtually city policemen" said Mr.
Malcom this morning, "and as long as
the traction company is TO permit city
policemen TO ride I'm uniform, there is
no reason why the privilege should not
be given our five executive officers,
whose work is essentially public serv-
ice, and whose territory Is greater
than that OF city policemen.
"The old management permitted our
officers to ride when in uniform, no
passes being necessary. IF we are TO
pay car fare in addition to our present
expenses we will have about 500 left
of our annual appropriation of 81 900
for the ordinary work Of the board.
Fares would cost us probably $500 a
year.
"When we ask free fares for our
officers, we are asking no personal
privilege. Their work is of a public
character, and il return for the many
valuable privileges the traction COM

MRS. L0NGWORTH IS GLAD

WASHINGTON, July 29--Mrs. Alice

her friends, is more than glad that
her husband, Representative Nicholas
Longworth, was not nominated for
Governor at the Ohio Republican Con-

Her friends say there was nothing
attractive to her IN winter residence
In Columbus and a summer spent at
some "dinky" little Ohio resort where
the Chief Executive of the State could
keep in touch with its affairs far
better than from the North Shore or
Newport.
There is no doubt in the minds OF
Mrs. Longsworth's friends that she
is keen for the policies of her father,
and for the value Of her husbands
seat in Congress. Ohio all the year
round did not look good To her, and
they say she welcomed Harding as
a life-saver
