Another Element in the Tangled
Street Car Situation
By EARL GOODWIN.

Bill Prices article last Wednesday discusses one Of the
most serious problems the Public Utilities Commission win
face and also brings home the fact that clever nan
ciers with twelvecynder brains and smart lawyer at
almost any time the good old days could take your streets
and sell you the right to ride them.
Some time ago the Washington Utilities Company was
organized There plan afoot to gather in ALL the
public utilities, street gas electric lights and operate
them under ONE management-the Washington Utilities
Company In actual managerial practice this has its good
points-when properly watched,
However Senator La Toilette blocked the plan with his
famous law providing that utility company could own
more than % per cent of the stock of another
But in the meantime considerable stock had been sold
The first hand the inside fellows got it lowest of all Of
course and the price increased considerable money could
be made the sale of the Stock and have doubt that
the original inventors of this holding company idea made
neat pile
All the Washington Utilities Company ever had was
w. r. and E. stock which in those days paid per
cent dividends On the Washington Utilities stock
than million dollars borrowed fortunately for Wash
ngton most of it from outofown banks The dividends
the W. R. and stock used to pay the interest
the money borrowed from banks with the Washington Uh-
ties Company collateral
Now the W. R. and E. common is not paying dividends
the bankers who loaned the money want to know where
their interest is coming from.
imagine they look upon the proposition somewhat as
they In possession of empty bag They financed
holding company, but they've found out what it
held-until NOW.
It is important to certain coterie of whose keen
minds only to finance that relief be granted to the
W. R. and Company and they base this need for higher
fare on the necessity of common stock dividends.
Also it is important that your money, properly invested
in safe concern shall be properly safeguarded and
proper return given you The great trouble is that many
men in endeavoring to develop great industry pay
attention to the RETURN TO THEMSELVES than to any
thing else.
Had this Washington Utilities Company grown to full
sze the original promoters would be extremely rich, be
cause they knew how to handle not street railroads but
street railroad stock And YOU would be paying for it
The promoters of such companies will You that investors
are entitled to their per cent, but they themselves
wouldn't dream of any such small return

the efficacy of Archimedes' mir
rors.
One would have expected this in
vention OF the great Syracusan to
inspire determined efforts to util-
lie the wasted energy of the sun
Tor other purposes than the des-
tructlVe operation of war, but il
seems really to have led to moth
ing. If Archimedes himself had
lived after the war was over there
might have been a different result,
but he was murdered by Roman
soldiers when Syracuse was hand
ed over to the besiegers by traitors
within, the walls, and then his
burning mirrors became only the
subject Of story to make history
more interesting.
Two thousand years elaused h.
lore serious efforts were maco 20
follow out the lead that had been
opened. The solar engine" is a
modern invention, and one that
still awaits perfection. 1t has
adopted Archimedes method, and
by a system of mirrors covering an
area Of 600 or 700 square feet an
average mechanical energy euuiva-
lent to over two-horsepower has
been maintained during a sun
shiny day in California and Ari-
iona. The power Is applied through
steam produced by the vaporiZa-
ton Of water at the focus of the
mirrors.
Increasing the area of refectors
exposed to the sun of course in
creases the amount Of heat at the
focus, but the cost is great for the
power obtained, and some funda-
mental discovery seems to be
needed to bring commercial sue
cess. Many think that the expen-
siVe and cumbersome refectors
may be dispensed with, and that
sufficient heat for driving low
pressure engines may be obtained
by principle different from that of
Archimedes.
Some day somebody will hit
upon a method OF getting great
stores of energy out Of the sun
beams that has not yet been
thought of, or at least not perfect
ed, and when that is done we shall
all be wondering why 1t was so
long In coming, and how we could
have been so stupid.

HORSEPOWER OF OLD SOL
WASTED NOW
By Garrett P. 'Serviss

81 have read that Archimedes
computed that the mechanical
force represented by the suns
rays falling on the earth was
equal to one horsepower per
square yard. Is this a fact, and
II so, what has been done, or can
be done, to realize a fair percent
age of this power for heat and
light-H. H. C., Springfield, Mass"
The estimates of the mechani-
cal equivalent of the solar radia-
ton on the earth have greatly
varied, even in modern times,
and Archimedes did not have the
advantage of the long series of
Investigations made since his day.
The estimate ascribed to him (of
course, he did not put it in horse
powers"), is no doubt derived from
those at present generally &C
cepted, which, in the extreme, 90
as high as one and three-quarters
horsepower per square yard, or
over 5000 horsepower per acre.
Started By War.
1t is interesting just now to re-
call that Archimedes' investiga-
ton of this subject was brought
about by war. Two thousand one
hundred and thirty-two years ago,
a Roman army was besieging the
native city of Archimedes, SYRIA
cuse, in Sicily, and the great
"geometer" was called upon.
The Roman ships of war had
strangle-hold on Syracuse. They
were anchored close against its
walls, which fronted the harbor,
and they were rapidly piercing
and undermining the masonry.
Ordinary weapons were of little
avail against them, and Archime-
des was forced to contrive extraor-
binary ones. Among these the
most unheard of and effective
was a combination of long focus
mirrors by means of which he
concentrated the rays Of the sun
upon the Roman vessels and set
them afre.
This story has been doubted. on
the alleged ground that it in
volved an impossibility, but Buff
fon, ITO years ago, proved that
there was no impossibility at all
in the story. Button concentrated
the sunbeams with the aid of a
large number of small mirrors ar
ranged in a frame so that they
all sent their rays to a single
focus, and with this apparatus he
set fire to wood at a distance of
222 feet.
A Roman Panic.
That was a greater distance
than Archimedes would have had
to transmit his burning ray in or
der to kindle the rigging and other
exposed parts of the Roman ships
under the walls of Syracuse. One
can imagine the Roman sailors
fleeing in panic when that mys-
FERROUS beam fell upon their decks,
with smoke and flame instantly
springing up wherever it touched.

THE SELFISH HUSBAND
WORRIES HER
By Winifred Black

all, but a foolish, nagging, dis
agreeable tyrant.
But 5 o'clock in the morning
every morning, when he ought to
be home at IL Foolish to worry
about 1t? Yes. Foolish to think
he is doing wrong? No.
He is doing WRONGS wronging
you, is wronging the Government
which pays him his salary and he's
Wronging himself.
No man can do any kind Of de-
cent work and do it decently and
keep such hours as that. Every
time man stays out till o'clock
in the morning he's stealing just
so much strength and so much
energy from the concern that is
paying him his wages.
One WOmanIy Plan.
Besides, a man with a 3 o'clock
in the morning record, day after
day and night after night, is doing
something which he ought not to
do-he's drinking or gambling or
making fool of himself some way
or another. You are quite right
to object to his absurd and pecu-
liar ideas as to hours.
Besides, what does he think you
are going to do with yourself all
the time when you know that he is
entertaining himself in some fool
ish and selfish way? That isn't
the kind of thing he promised when
he married you. You didn't marry
him to sit at home alone and cry
and wonder where he is.
Do you know what l would do if
l were you? I'd just go home for
a nice little rest, or go and visit
some friends, or get him to give
you money enough to go for &
pleasure trip of your own. Tell
him you do not intend to stay at
home and be miserable. Don't cry
when you tell him about it, for
you will have lost your point be-
fore you begin. And, above all
things, don't be angry, and if you
shed a single tear when you begin
you might as we'll not say a word.
He's simply SELFISH utterly and
completely selfish, and he has al
lowed himself to be carried away
into some stream that he can't
swim. It's your duty to yourself
and to him to make him come To
his senses.
Don't quarrel with him at all,
don't leave him in anger or ii
tears, but leave him d. cheerfully
and sensibly, and tell him that
when be is ready to behave like
sensible man you will come back
and make a cheerful homo with
hin and never mention the whole
business again.
Try this plan, Unhappy, and
when you find out how 1t works,
let Us know about It, won't you?

to know why employees Of that
