WOMAN WITH THREE CHILDREN
FOUGHT THROUGH WALL OF FIRE

surrounding the mountain ranch.
Without stopping to gather her
belonging the woman called her
three small children, and with them
clinging to her began her flight.
For three miles she fought her
way through the smoke Of the burn
ing brush and flying brands, half
dragging, half carrying the small
children, until she reached the open
country and safety. At the end of
the perilous journey, Mrs. Mason
fell exhausted.

Electricity From Sun,

A remarkable apparatus has been
perfected by a Bostonian who claims
that with its aid electricity may be
generated from the rays of the sun.
The generator consists of a light
steel framework. in the interior Of
which are ranged number of metal
plugs, all connected by wires. One
end of each plug is placed In contact
with sheet of thick glass, while the
other Is exposed to strong current
of air. The glass already mentioned
Is heated from the solar rays, and i'm
parts a portion of 1t to the ends Of
the plugs in contact. The other ends,
however, remain cool, owing to the air
current, and the difference in tenn
perature between the extremities, ac-
cording to the inventor, generates an
electrical current of a strength in pro-
portion to the number of plugs and
the area of glass. The apparatus is
said to have given satisfactory re-
suits when tested.
