SUNS POWER OPERATES
PUMPING PLANT.

After many years Of expert
ments and failures, an American
inventor of apparatus designed t,
utilize directly the suns power
has perfected an apparatus which
has been in operation in Phila
delphia. The machine was KEEP
running steadily for several week,
and during that time pumped sew
eral millions of gallons of water
by power obtained from the sun s
rays alone.
The plant at it's present stage
of development consists of an alb
sorber, a low-pressure steam ell
CINE, condenser and auxiliaries.
The absorber is composed of a
series Of units, each containing a
flat metal honeycomb water vc.-
sci. rectangular in shape and
closely resembling large waffle.
This vessel is inclosed in a flat
wooden box covered with two
layers of glass having a Lin. air
space between them. The under
side Of the box is insulated against
heat loss downward by a 2-in.
layer of cork and two layers of
water-proofed cardboard. The
boxes are mounted ON supports
which elevate them about 80 in.
above the ground, and permit of
their being inclined perpendic-
ularfy to the sun at noon. The
of inclination have
only to be made once in three
weeks.
Mirrors of cheap construction
are mounted on two sides of the
boxes SO that more rays may be |
caught, reflected upon the surface ]
Of the water vessel, and absorbed. |
The water vessels are connected !
1t one end to a feed pipe from
The water supply, and at the 9TH
r end to a steam pipe. The
'team pipes from the various units
ire connected together and empty
nto an Sin. main which conveys
he steam to the pumping engine.
The pumping engine Is a new
ype, low-pressure, reciprocating
ngine OF great steam economy.

leaning over, caught me by the

at the same time keeping me
down, having his head on top Of
mine, he had me pinioned down on

AU TO-INTOXICATION.

= Big word ism t vt? Did you
ever see it, have it, hear of it 4?
Yes, doubtless. Most of us have
lived with it, suffered from it,
and will dire of it.
i Without its general prevalence
two thirds of our grocers. doctors,
druggists. and undertakers woul |
have to go back to tilling the soil
for a livelihood, or else go hang
Many of them know this as
well as you and l, but they are
ely too busy feeding, drug
ging, doctoring and burying us
% take time to warn us against
this, our national sin. which in
unauthorized English is moth
ing more nor less than plain
over-eating.
A contemporary says: "The
great strain Of life for the major
ity of people consists in just two
things, providing the human sys-
TEN with food and providing the
Doctors with money to get that
food out of the system where it
has turned to uric acid and other
poisons. !"
The most advanced physicians
to-day will tell you that ninety
nine maladies in every hundred
are caused by wrong habits in eat
ing and drinking.
Absolute health and freedom
from pain for one hundred years
might be enjoyed by all of us
were we once to come into pos
session Of a commOn-sense knowl-
edge of what produces disease.
Louis Cornaro who lived in the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries
was one of the first to make the !
discovery that we so-called civ
ilized people nearly all eat too
much. He was hopeless in
valid given up to die by the Doc
tors at the age of forty, when he
reduced his diet to fourteen
ounces a day and not only re-
covered his health, but lived to
be hundred and four years old,
when he died as easily and gently !
as little child falls to sleep on
its mothers breast. As4l
Who can say to. what age le /
might not have lived had he in
herited good constitution, and
not abused himself as they tell
rs he did during all the early ]
formative years of his life. As t
t was, he gave us a lesson that Y
will be handed down the centur- .
es. beacon light to nations vet
lnborn. Not only did he do ,
.reat and splendid work for hui t
nanity. but he. did a greater one
or himself in that he lived one I
f the happiest, sanest lives on a
ecord. At the advanced age Of L
lightly seven years he wrote: o
~ never knew how beautiful O
lie was Until / grew old. Who
ould find WEAKNESS in a lot 50 O
ruly blest and happy as the one il
enjoy" C,
One fourth of what we eat o.
'ould generally prove ample for T
re maintenance of health and 10
5rength, while the remaining al
lree fourths keep us permanent
esidents in the lower story of R
lr being. 1t matters not as Ell
lie how robust the constitution r.
