Little Visits With

A BATH IN THE OPEN.

A little springfield stream that
rippled its way among lovely forest
trees, was the charm one day that
drew me TO its banks to read or
study, or just to look about at the
things that nature had placed in
front of my eyes to be seen. Then
something delightful happened that
I will never forget. The gold
finches came to bathel
The little stream circled near to
a big tree, then veering off left a pool
OF clear water, sandy at the bottom.
Looking up from my book. 1 saw a
gold finch dip his gorgeous gold
and black nlumage into the shallow
water of the pool. He was out again

the black on head and wings, the
shadows in the water, all made a
picture that memory recalls with
the keenest pleasure.
From their habits I have conclud-

they bathed in numbers. They seem
to live a community life, and 20 sec

MAKE THE SUN DO
YOUR COOKING

Of steel plate and after the whole
mirror was screwed together these
curved plates were covered with
thin polished aluminium sheets
whose rejecting power is about 10
per cent.
The next problem was to provide
a cheap method Of turning the mir
ror at the exact rate so that it
would be focused upon the sun. This
was accomplished by clockwork.
In the reservoir of oil to which
the pipes communicated were placed
the two ovens each about II inches
square and 9 inches high, the upper
one Of which tended to be hotter
than the lower one. Automatic reg
ulation was provided. by means or
which the circulation of the oil
could be confined to the upper part
Of the reservoir so as to heat the
upper oven almost solely until such
time as the regular temperature Of
it had been attained.
The apparatus worked very well
indeed. There was no trouble in OBJ
tanning temperatures sufficient to
bake bread. cake, pies. and to cook
meats, vegetables and cereals in a
very satisfactory manner.
All Of the food used at the direc-
tors cottage was prepared in the
sun over during the whole summer
Of 1920. with the most satisfactory
results. There occurred only a few
days which were so cloudy as to
cause the ovens to cool below the
temperature required for the cook
ing Of cereals, and on almost all
days the even temperatures were
suitable for baking.
