PROBLEM FOR THE SCIENTIST
How May the Energy Of the Sun, at
Present Largely Wasted, Be Util- j
izel to Advantage7

The enormous energy which is con-
stantly poured out by the sun is al
most past the comprehension Of the
lay mind.
Measurements have shown that on q
clear sunny day the sun transmitted
to the earth energy which cores
ponded to about 7,O0O-horsepower per
acre. At present all that is practical
ly wasted Attempts have from time
to time been made to utilize this enor-.
nous supply Of energy, but not with!
any great measure of success. If peo.t
pie only knew how to harness 1t they,
could, at the expense of lowering the
temperature of the earth by degree
or so. obtain all the power necessary:
to perform the work of the world. Only
about three-f1fths, of the energy sent to-
the earth from the sun is appreciate
to the eye as Light: If the sun were
twice as hot as II, is, four-fifths would
be appreciable in that way. and If it,
were still hotter the whole of the en-.
ergy would affect the eye as light.
Radiant energy, Is not heat; that is,
the energy OF the sun does not reach
the earth in the form of heat. 1t is
not heat at all until it falls on bodies
whose temperature can be raised It
might rather be called electricity; in
fact, it is form of electricity, for all
the methods used to detect and meas
ure radiant energy depend upon alb
sorbing 1t and Transforming it into
heat. 10

There is a sentiment in the older
heads that the young men and women
of today are different in many ways
from the ideals of youth in the long
ago. sociologists will settle the ques-
ton but in the interim it is not unin-

children of today differ from those of
yesterday.
Here is typical letter written by
typical boy to typical sister about
typical boy subjects. Perhaps the read
er may recall what interested him at
the age of twelve:

Loans Of Honor.

Tip never had a mite of patience
with the fellow who looks with such
reverence on debt Of honor. AS a
rule the debt of honor chap doesn't
fret bit about bilking his grocer. But
an experiment with loans Of honor
put in the right places has shown
the average person is honest. Several
years ago public spirited men got to.
gether'' at Lyons and formed what
they called Loan and Honor society.
The purpose was to furnish money to
clerks, laborers and apparently to any
poor and needy persons. No other Sc
curity than the borrowers word was
asked. In 1901 money was lent to
1884 individuals. Sixty-eight Of these
were women. Allasppt twenty-seven OF
the borrowers were married. Sickness
made 119 Of the loans necessary; loss
Of work. 80; previous debts, "a. and
starting housekeeping, ~. The sums
borrowed varied from Sc to $50. Dur
ing it's several years Of existence the
society has lost only 5000. Yes, the
