SAYS SUN Will
DO MANS WORK
DR.. c. G. Abbott Makes In
teresting Experiments at
Carnegie Observatory.
RAYS TO BE HARNESSED
Scientist Hopes to Be Able to Give

Discovery.
RAYS TO BE HARNESSEl

Mount Wilson. Cal, Aug. 7.-Through
the experiments of DR.. c. G. Abbott, at
the Carnegie Solar Observatory. on the
summit of Mount Wilson. it is believed
that the problem of Harvesting the suns
rays to do mans Work Will soon be
solved. The National Academy of Sci
ence has made a liberal appropriation
for the experiments and the results so
far are highly satisfactory. DR.. Abbott
says he thinks he will be able to give to
the world one OF the most valuable dis
coveries in all the history Of science.
The achievement of bringing the suns
rays into the economic life of man has
been the aim of many scientists and ex-
perimenters. Years ago Prof. Samuel p.
Langley. who built the first heavier-than-
air airship. constructed a machine
which he called the "bolometer,'' with
which he experimental at great length
at the Allegheny Observatory at Pitts
burgh.
Prof. Langley gave up his experiments
with the suns rays to work out his
ideas of navigation of the air. Just as
his airship ideas have worked out with
success in the hands of later investiga-
tors, so now does his idea of putting the
suns rays to work seem near a practical
demonstration.
The practical application of the suns
rays was achieved some years ago in
Boston. Although unheralded to the SCI
entitic world or to the public, plant
was in operation there which had some
wonderful results. Not only did the in
ventor gather and apply the heat of the
sun to a steam engine. but he solved the
nFnh1an1 nf he han In
enough heat was stored to enable his
machinery TO run day and night. and
even through the entire day. when the
sun was concealed behind the clouds
To those who were let in on the secret
the sun machine at Boston was a marvel
BY the use of huge mirrors, arranged in
the form Of a saucer over the entire roof
of building, the rays were concen-
trated at one point. 1t was a simple
problem to heat a small boiler and de-
velop a head of steam to run a small
engine. The bigger problem was the
storage of this energy which came from
the sun.
Science here came to the aid of the in
ventor. He experimental with chemical
solutions until he discovered the one best
suited for his needs. This solution was
contained in tank into which the con-
verged rays from the big mirrors were
turned. The boiling point of the solution
was much higher than that of water. and
in a short time the temperature of the
storage tank reached a high figure. In
this tank of stored heat was placed the
boiler for the engine and a constant head
OF steam, day and night. in all sorts of
weather, was accomplished. This sue
Cessful demonstration was not to prog
ress further. for the inventor caught
CLEAN of a new idea in electrical ma
chinery and abandoned his sun machine
to perfect the new idea.

II. Richardson, a prominent farmer
who for several years past had resid-
ed on a rented farm at the outlet of
Lake Madison, are mourning his un-

Richardson made no secret of his APP

"a farm somewhere in North Dakota,
but he did not mention the exact
date, nor say where in North Dakota
he was going. But he left without
notice, and ii is alleged he left be-
hind him about $1,000 in debts. He
held a public sale, d~isposing OF a large
amount of property and took a large
amount of personal property with
him. An immigrant car with some
of his personal property was attach

brought $3.50, leaving his creditors
over $1,000 in the hole. An effort
will be made to find Richardson and
induce him to pay his debts or ex-
