HARNESS FOR RAYS OF SUN
Practical Apparatus Invented by Mas
sachusstts Man for Charging Of

George +. Core has invented the
first practical apparatus for harness
Ing the suns rays. is claimed. He
has proved It's efficiency for months
by lighting his own home at Somer.
Vile, Mass. from storage batteries
charged solely by the sun generator.
Mr.. Core believes there Is no heat In
the sun. His strongest argument he
considers that based on the expert
ences OF aeronauts. They always re-
mark that at great attitudes the Their
mometer cease to mark any varia-
tons OF temperature.
Certainly a man &c high I'm the air

the heat be In the sun why does he
not feel IL nor strongly than those
on the earth's surface? The seeming
heat In the sun rays does not come
from the sur itself, but from cleo
tricity. Light Is the omnipotent force.
II Ii the great source Of terrestrial
electricity, magnetism and heat. What
ever moves Is matter. The human
mind a conceive OF nothing else.
Neither can ii conceive OF motion
without associating IL with the idea
OF an object to be moved. Hence light.
which moves. is matter.
Light thrown upon the sun Is re-
flected to the earth through the ether.
Light passing through this with mar
velous speed must produce everywhere
enormous friction, and with II cleo
tricity and magnetism. Electricity
by the junction of its opposite polari-
ties, evolves heat, and also imparts
magnetism to all substances that are
capable OF being invested with II.
1t is electricity. then, that causes
heat. and not. as has been thought
for ages, direct rays from the sun.
Believing that the suns rays pro-
duce electricity, Mr.. Core evolved a
simple apparatus for utilizing II, and
he did this SO successfully that II is
possible to store In a battery the
electricity from the rays OF light.

DISEASE CARRIED By FLIES
Method Of Transmission Of ~lnfantiIe
Paralysis Discovered by Profess
sor Of Harvard.

Infantile paralysis, the exact cause
and the methods of transmission OF
which has hitherto bafied physicians,
may be carried by the stable fly, ac-
cording to Prof. NJ. ]. Rosenau. OF
Harvard university, says the Popular
Mechanics. He has apparently sue
'ceeded In transmitting this fatal dis.
ease from sick to we'll monkeys by
the bite of the common stable fly. He
allowed a number OF these flies to bite
monkeys In various stages of the dis
ease. and then later allowed them 10
bite II we'll monkeys. OF the latter,
six became i'll with well.marked symp-
toms OF ~infantile paralysis. and three
died.
The stable. or biting fly. usually
found around and in stables. is, how
ever, not uncommon in houses. II
bites animals as well as men, and
sucks their blood, upon which 1t feeds.
Professor Rosenau concludes hat af-
ter the virus is taken into the body
OF the fly by biting an infected animal
or person. some time must elapse
before the fly Is capable Of trans
hitting the disease, but that the
period is probably less than 81 days.
