A suN-PoWER PLANT.

London dispatches from Cairo,
Egypt, tell of the novel work of an
American engineer named Frank Shu-
man in Harvesting the power of the
suns rays to that of the river Nile
for irrigation purposes. There he has
installed 100 horsepower plant
based on the use of parabolic mirrors,
which concentrate sun rays to FIVE
times their ordinary intensity. or to
a temperature OF 900 degrees. Fahren-
heit. Thus steam Is generated to oper-
ate huge reciprocating pump, deliv-
ering 5000 gallons a minute, or
enough to irrigate 1000 acres OF land.
Shuman says his plant will last for
many generations, being constructed
Of REINFORCED concrete, iron and
glass. No stokers are needed to
shovel coal, and SO the labor cost Is
greatly reduced.

An interesting solution of the eter-
nal question Of badness comes from a
savant who hides his identity under
initials in the New York Times. Bald
heads, he declares, are the outward
sign of unsettled religious convictions.
Possessors of strong religious faith,
on the other hand, for that reason re-
main well matched through life. How
about unthatched pulpiteers?

Between Berlin, Germany, and
Vienna, Austria, new record in wire
less telephony was made one day last
week when ordinary conversation was
distinctly heard from the one city to
the other, a distance of 425 miles.
High frequency apparatus was used
in conjunction with microphones. The
messages transmitted by the ether
waves were conveyed to the ear by
means Of regular receiving telephone
apparatus. These tests we're SO sue
cessful that the company backing the
system is now seeking a station 75C
miles distant from Berlin.

practice of making public school COM

The Chicago, Milwaukee and St
Paul has filed an appeal in the Unit
ed States supreme court from a de-
cision of the Wisconsin supreme court
which upheld the Wisconsin law re-
auiring that the upper berth In a
sleeping car be kept closed until it is
sold. The railroad contends that each
car is divided into units of space and
in as much as they are compelled by
the interstate commerce commission
ito file tariff stating the rates for
each section of space they would be
violating the law by allowing tray
eler to have two units of space for
the payment of one. Moreover it is
contended that such practice would
lead to many difficulties among tray
elers themselves on account of in
fluence being used with NPorters and
conductors. !.

And to it their hearts were en-

On It's laws all best government 5

A guide both for your life and mine,
The clear trumpet OF warning has
sounded,
Inspired by spirit divine;
It brings cheer to the meek and the

Is cherished by monarchs and

It inspires to thoughts lofty and holy,
To hope, faith and promise gives
wings.
sTis well spring" of waters for
healing
The heart that is broken with

To the downcast, promise revealing,
To wounded souls bringing relief;
IT'S a mine yielding treasures Oh

Than gems Of earth richer by far
And it brightens the pathway of duty
