A Hundred Horse Power Solar
Plan Set Up in Egypt

investment at 6 per cent, this places
us on an equality of coal at $3.50 a ton
delivered at the site of the plant,
"The plant, moreover, is SO con
structed that with ordinary care it will
last for many generations. 1t is COM
posed entirely of reinforced concrete,
iron and glass. The glass and con
crete will last Indefinitely, and so will
the ironwork, provided it is painted
every five years.
you have, therefore, a permanent
plant, the upkeep of. which costs very
little. The labor that is required to
run a sun-power plant is, indeed, a
great deal less than that which Is nee
essary for a coal plant. No stokers
are needed, there is no coal to be show
eled and there are no ashes to be re-
moved.
'Hitherto the great handicap to cul-
tivation of the soil in the tropics has
been the high cost of fuel, making the
irrigation of all great areas Of land
prohibitive. Sun-power plant, by
working without fuel, sweeps away the
handicap completely, and as soon as
its use becomes general, as it is GER
tainly bound to do, it will make wide
areas of deserts productive and will
enable the tropics to support a vastly
greater population than they are able
to do at present.
In America in the summer and fall
OF 1911 a 33-horse sun-power plant
was thoroughly tested with perfect
success. In Cairo we hope to have the
plant working by the first of next
month.
IF its success there is established
its use in tropical countries must be-
come general, because. no one need
have to face any longer the difficult
problem OF fuel. In addition to the
tropics the sun-power plant could also
be used with immense advantage In
the south of France, Spain and italy,
and, in fact. in all countries where
of sunshine every day of the year.
Mr.. Shuman added that it will also
be possible. by can OF electric stor-
age batteries to store the power that
is derived from the sun just AS one
can store any other power.

from a brutal and dangerous celebra
ton to one OF sanity and safety.
The movement for a sane Fourth
has succeeded in accomplishing its
purpose. 1t has at least greatly re-
duced the death rate.
Official statistics for the past ten
years show that 1879 persons have
been killed and a8,o6s Injured more or
less seriously within that space of
time, but there has been almost a
steady decrease each year in the mum
Der of deaths and injuries, and the fig
ures for the past three years, during
which the sane Fourth has made it's
most conspicuous progress, show that
the decrease has been the most re-
markable. In 1906 there were SOS
deaths, in 1909 there were 215, in 1910
there were 131, 81 in 1911. and only 20
in 1912.
Here are the figures for the ten.

Buffalo Express: Frank Shuman, a
Philadelphia engineer who recently
left London for Egypt, is making a
radical departure in the generation of
natural power. He Is going to harness
the sun to the Nile. He has already
installed near Cairo a 100~-horsepower
sun plant for irrigation; and his pres
5ent mission in Egypt is to complete
the installation and to begin opera
tions almost Immediately.
Four times only in the history of the
human race has the generation of
power been the subject of invention.
First came the windmill, then the
watarwheel. The third departure, and
the greatest so far, was the combus-
ton of fuel,
Now comes the use of the solar rays,
which. If successful-and Mr.. Shu-
man says that success is already Sc
cured-wiH be the most complete rev
olution of all, solving at once for the
tropics the problem of fuel. which in
the past has been sc great a handicap
to remunerative labor and which in
the future, with the diminishing sup
plies of coal, must become a greater
handicap still.
Explaining In an interview the char
|acter and purpose of his sun-poWeT
plant, Mr.. Shunlan said.
by means of parabolic mirrors the
heat of the sun is concentrated to five
times it's natural intensity.
This gives US a temperature OF
about 900 degrees Fahrenheit, and by
means of this heat concentrated on
boilers the steam is generated, which
Is used for driving a low-pressure
condensing engine. This engine in
turn drives d large r~eciprocating ump
capable Of pumping 1900 gallons q
minute, and thus of ~irrigating in this
particular locality 1000 acres of land.
TYou can do the same thing, OF
course Mr.. Shuman went on to say,
"by means of steam generated from
coal. But coal in the tropics costs
from SO to $40 a ton. Sunlight does
not cost anything. 1T is true that the
cost for first construction of sum
power irrigation plant is double that
OF a first class plant using coal. Es-
timating the interest or the increased

After years Of vigorous protest by

useless deaths that were brought

Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA, JULY t2, 1918.

Before getting hanged yesterday a Folsom Oppenheimer made a state ment urging the women of Californi' to persist in thefr efforts to have cap ital punishment abolished. Oppen' heimer was probably a little pretudlc- ed on the subject and one can hardly blame him considering the circum stances but still there are probably very good reasons why capital pun ishment should be inflicted only aftel the most careful study of the effec which 1t might have. Slaughterins human being is hardly mark of ad vancing civilization whether the mar led to the slaughter has heen guilty o' murder or not.
 Of course capital punishment is hardly done as revenge by society for an ofrense committed against society. If such were the case m execution would be nothing less than murder and added to the crime of murder would be the failure to recognise the exhorta- . ton to forgive our enemies. It would be worse than the murder committed in the heat of passion on in the effort to escape from the clutches of the law for some minor offence. It would be cold, calculated. fiendish slaughter of . man on whose life society has no more calm than he had over society. It would be butchery of brother fratricide.
 The great question Is whether cap- ital punishment prevents murder or not. If capital punishment means the sacrifice of one life that greater number might bc saved there is good reason why it should he practiced. but murder Ia hardly ever committed under circumstances winch permit the murderer to take into account the re- suit of his act.
 If man commits deliberate murder he is evidently not constituted 1s an ordinary, normal human being. No man who can sec what the reJslt would be to his conscience and peaco of mind would ever take the life of a fellow being no matter what there might be In n. He must be an in- ferior type of person who could not zee that nothing could repay him for the torture which would follow the crime, 50 that really the men who commit murder are men who would not be subject to the same feelings ts the ordinary person and would :e h' more deterred probably by the thought

 Bigelow was in Stewards confidence at the time of the purchase of Alaska, and writing to his friend, William Hargreaves before the consummation of the purchase said, humorousiy, "Our country will then. without exag- geration, be bounded on the north. as Artemus Ward. poor fellow. used to say. by the Aurora Boreaiis, and we can continue our Pacific railroads to the north pole with the principal northernmost depot in simms' Hole" But 1t was 6 year later before Seward told him the inside"

of execution than by any other consid- eratiou They cannot see matters in the same light as the normal tnstivid- ual and the fact may be that snc'.ty daughters the abnormal as Ie.soa. to the normal, which seems tn Ee q
 very ridiculous and futile proceeding. At one time in the memory of our
 fathers men were hanged for etealing and for other offences. To thiaS of this fact brings home to us the dis turbing thought that some of our fa-
 thers were really murderers judged
 by the tenets of present day society. If a man were hanged today for s.sai-
 ing horse, and hanged by due p.o-
 cess of law, there is not one man in
 the country who would not consider
 the judge and jury a lot of assassins.
 Yet our beloved fOrefathers slaughter ed their brothers for small offences with most complacent skill and fre- ouency and seemed to believe that 1t was due to society. We can see now that they were wrong but are we sure that we are right still?
 In many countries capital punish ment has been completely abandoned and reports from such countries do not seem to indicate that the aboli- ton of judicial killings was followed by private enterprise along the same lines. In countries where the govern ment ownership of public murdering utilities still exists private individuals seem not to have been forced out of business In the least but rather seem to be able to more than hold their own in the slaughter industry with foreign competitors.
 Oppenheimer was right in spite of the fact that his conclusions might have been drawn from premises which were created only by his osl pri, aie bias. His evidence would hardly be accepted in a court of law ar his con- nection with the subject was of kind to make him only too willing witness for the defence of pri- vate slaughter. But Opperheimer might have been right just the same and the society which took his life might have been guilty of q similar crime to that which caused his own strangulation prematurely.
