kOji's rare ability and excellent
personality. He has shown his
stuff here before. Suganuma has
not.
Hoppe always will be an attrac-

indeed. When he clicked off the
last points that regained him his
title from Jake Schaefer, the rec
ord crowd present went wild. Never
before had such spirit been aroused
by a billiard match.

The first cost, however, unlike that

even so, sun cookery will remain, for
some time, the toy Of the millionaire
who wants a novelty to show his
friends in his summer camp, and who
has a coal stove in reserve against
those days when the sun is marked
off duty
It Is easy to figure some of the
possibilities in sun power machinery.
Scientists are agreed that the suns
temperature is about 10000 degrees
Fahrenheit. The big red disk which
the sun presents to our eye has an
area of about 5s5,750, 100000 square
miles. Each square foot of that area
gives off energy to the tune Of some
10000 horsepower. With 27,S7S.400
square feet to square mile. figure
out the total power for yourself. But
remember that this power is at the
center of the entire universe and
other worlds may have a call on some
of it besides the earth planet.
, The radiant energy which arrives
at the earth Is very much less than
the power at the sun because OF
losses in transmission and the fact
that the energy is Sradiated In the

long months on the top of Mount Will

ago by DR.. Abbot. under pressure,
we surnlise, of domestic necessity.
Three people lived on food cooked
in the "sun oven," and, more than
that, they are still living; so the food
must have been all right. Jam was
made, biscuits were baked, beef and
potatoes boiled and baked, all by sun
power.
DR.. Abbot knows more about the
sun than any other human being.
Galleries and British thermal units,
sun spots and hot areas are his daily
dish. So when the demand came,

burning glass arrangement could be
easily made which would solve that
trouble If a solution were required.
To prevent heat losses in the oil
tube in the mirror axis a glass tube
four inches in diameter was placed
around the metal tube. This inter-
fered in no way with the passage of
the SUMS heat, but did aid in retain
ing the heat in the oil pipe. The en-
tire mirror was encased in glass,
which kept out the wind and the
dust. And the piping outside the
mirror, through which the hot oil
flowed to the reservoir and ovens,
and the reservoir itself were covered
with asbestos insulation in the usual
form, which held the heat. So effec-
tive was this insulation that the oil
remained hot many hours after the
sun went down and made It possible

Other cereals are damned by the fifty

traveller says:
rThe Egyptians who inhabit that
part of the country which is planted

men, are the best informed of all with

enlist, but DR.. Abbot refused to COM
ment on that phase of the matter.
Ask him about the sun. and he'll tell
you. Ask about the vagaries of do
mestics, and he ducks.
TNHE machinery for the sun oven, as
l. shown in the pictures. is very
simple. The ray catcher" was a
parabolic mirror ten feet long and
seven feet wide. The parabolic curve
i'll the mirror results in the sun rays
being reflected to the axis line of the
parabola down the center of the mir
along that line.
So along the axis line DR.. Abbot
put an oil pipe about two inches in
diameter. The concentrated rays
played along the ripe, heating the
oil. The oil was piped upward to
an oil reservoir, a tank containing
about a barrel, in which two ordi-
nary iron ovens were immersed. The
heated oil surrounded the ovens and
sufficient heat was captured to raise
the temperature inside the ovens to
320 degrees Fahrenheit.
This is hot enough to make steam
at fifty pounds pressure If suffi-
cient quantity of heat is available.
In this case, with the sun playing
on the pipe, it was available, of
course. To get a greater quantity
of heat all that Is necessary is to
Increase the mirror surface and the
size of the oil pipes. That's where
the practical rub comes in. You need
tremendous area to get much power.
With the ten-by-seven mirror as a
ray catcher, it was possible to boil,
bake and stew. 1t was not possible
Evening star., 1923-04-01

much greater quantity of heat stored
If the sun had been working on the
mirror all day.
OF course. on account of rotation of
the earth, an arrangement had to be
made TO keep the mirror turning SO
it constantly faced the sun. This was
accomplished by using the works of
a dollar alarm clock. which regulated
a series of weights contrived to move
every five minutes, turning the mir
ror slightly each time. This mechan-
ism could have turned the mirror
completely around. but it was design
ed TO knock off at noon, like the
human workman.
While the sun oven worked very
satisfactorily on the mountain top,
DR.. Abbot, speaking as an engineer,
expressed doubt as to its becoming
a popular proposition for the average
home, even though it might help
solve domestic questions. The dream
of a city dweller of sun stove on
the apartment roof, with hot piping
coming down to a corner kitchenette.
will never come true in this climate.
The janitor will continue to hold the
balance of power. But in the south
ern states OF the far west. in the
desert regions, there might be found
a very practical use for such an
oven, for the sun shines more in
those regions. But, unfortunately for
commerce. few people live there.

THE cost of such an oven. It is esti-

item. What such an oven might be
