Sun Pumps Water

A message from Cairo states. that the
sun power" pumping plant, invented by
Mr.. Frank Shuman, which was recently
Installed in Egypt has just been inspected
by Field Marshall Viscount Kitchener,
who was much interested in the plant.
This invention has been appuied to pump
ing operations. and is capable of pumping
5000 gallons of water per minute to a
height of 80 feet.
The principle of this, the latest system
of power production, is simple, the heat
of the sun being used to raise steam in a
specially constructed BOILER which
steam drives a low-pressure engine. There
is a series of generators, each consisting
of a fiat sheet iron box three feet square,
with plates only one eight of an inch
apart. and covered by two sheets of glass
an inch apart, says The London Tele-
graph The boxes are massed together
over a space of 5000 spare feet and have
a heat collecting area of about 10,3oo
square feet. This area is made up OF
26 rows of boxes, each row containing
q single units. Each box, which is painted
with dull black composition that does
not reflect more than 6 per cent of the
suns rays, rests upon a layer of noncon-
| Quoting material The resulting insula-
| ton is so good that, il desired, a temper
ature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit can be
obtained I'm the boxes.
The boxes are placed on trestles and can
be set at angles to suit the sun, while
mirrors are used to direct additional sun
light on the boilers" On one side OF
each box is a pipe, through which water
can be admitted, and on the other side is
a pipe for taking away the steam gem
Grated. The steam pipes from the vari-
GUS boxes are connected together so that
they discharge into a large pipe eight
inches In diameter which conveys the
steam to the engine. The latter is low
pressure machine, designed specially to
reduce heat losses to a minimum. 1t is
provided with a tubular surface type con-
denser. which type is essential, as only
distilled waters can be used practically in
the generators.

The time was when Americans and occi-

ignorance of it's full import and to the
fact that they only heard the drges of a
Chinese funeral procession or the brassy
noises that feature Celestial festival.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, September 2o--(Special)
Liverpool advanced sharply today, pri-
vate dispatches reporting that two ex-
porting firms who had sold high grade
cotton forward were in trouble, neces-
stating the replacing Of their contracts
in the open market.
Here prices opened some 5 POINTS
higher and despite enormous realizing
advanced sharply in response to buy
ing orders from the trade who were
alarmed by the rumors from europe
and that reports of storm signals for
the Texas coast.
There is no question that clear warm
weather is needed all over the belt.
Should the week open with fresh
storms we expect the demand from the
trade and spinners to increase, giving
us another advance.
Just before the close prices eased
off from the best on free selling of
October, apparently for Liverpool Tho
sentiment at the close was mixed as
it was felt that the weather over Sun
day would have a determining effect
on prices in the Immediate future.
The New York market will he closed
until noon Monday on account of
Mayor Gaynor's funeral.

NEW HIGH LEVELS
FOR WEEK IN COTTON
Buying for Long Account
Heavy-11 to Ia Points
Net Gain

New Orleans. September 20.-The cotton
market reached new nigh levels for the
week in today's session. Buying for the
long account was heavy and save for
the great amount of realizing of profits
done by buyers of the earlier part OF
the week the advance would have been
wider The short interest was nervous
and covered freely.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of 3 to 7 points and gradually
worked up to level 16 to p points
over yesterdays close, the March OPP
ton touching 1880 cents. After this there
vas a reaction of about 10 points. be-
cause of realizing sales from the long
side, the close being steady at a net
gain for the day of II to IA points.
Liverpool stood much lower than dus
on it's close and private messages from
that market said that the rise had been
caused by the failure of exporting firms
in Texas to meet their commitments to
European houses. thereby causing a
heavy covering movement in the Eng
nsh future market This information
caused no little excitement among local
spot people who expressed the fear that
more failure, or laying down." as 1t Is
expressed In trade parlance. would ba
seen because Of the unfavorable weather
conditions in the western belt, which are
proving embarrassing to those who have
sold spot cotton ahead.
The weather was called unfavorable be-
cause the map showed scattered rain over
the cotton region, Texas getting its share
OF 1t because of the cold wave approach
ing the belt from the northwest and the
storm warning for the Texas coast Shorts
were fearful of reports over Sunday OF
weather too cold for the growing plant
and also were worried by private reports
on condition, showing a falling off for
the month of as much as points. IL

reaction caused by longs realizing.
