being half a mile away by merely turn ing the "death ray" upon him. Or he can start or stop motor car or an airplane at an equal distance. <
 The man who has harnessed the sun- beams is an American of French descent, Marcel Moreau, who lives in California. By combination of mirrors and magnify ing lenses he has produced temperature of 15,000 Fahrenheit, which is at least 5000 degress higher than has ever been produced in an electric crucible or fur mace. He practically brings to the earth the flames of the sun. Just what this means may be judged from the fact that the flame that shoots from an acetylene torch, capable of boring it's way through half-inch Harveyized steel, is three inches long, while the flames from the sun shoot out for distance of 2,500,00O nilesl
 If Moreau's ray were focused upon a battleship lying a mile away it would bore a hole through the ship from stem to stern, the inventor claims. If this whitening heat were flooded on the yes sel at close range, it would melt it to the WaCerS euBes 1C WILL nut OlAy HUI" diamonds but it will, when moderated, create them just as they were made under the terrific heat which followed the birth of the world.
 Moreau has invented three different models of his device for harnessing the sun.
 The first and most powerful, which creates the greatest heat of which there is any record, is an open steel framework about six feet wide and five feet deep, on which are set up twenty-two rectangu- lar flat mirrors each ten by twelve inches in size. .Jrt
 Twenty-two powerful magnifying glasses or lenses, each six inches in diame- ter, catch and magnify the rays from each mirror and focus them on large central lens. R
 Through this lens the rays are con centrated on small area, shooting down. ward through tube. This tube, built of firebrick, would be immediately melted if the end were closed up. Instead, the rays pass through it, creating their

rays pass through it, creating their maximum heat at the point where they emerge.
 The hardest substances when subjected to this concentrated heat including babbitt metal, flint rock, mica, steel, scrap iron, quartz, crystal and diamonds melt quickly and disappear in the form of gas.
 The second machine, which pro- duces heat almost as great, con sists of bowl or funnel, four feet wide at its top, completely lined

with 1875 mirrors, each of which has a lens or magnifying glass attached to it. The multitudinous rays from these lenses are concentrated downward to another set in the tapered bottom of the funnel, like the eye-pieces of telescope, produc- ing a steady, concentrated heat of about 13,000 degrees.
 The third machine is simply smaller model of the one above, except that it has tiny motor attached to it, which is

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
CHOCOLATE PUDDING

'.There is chocolate pudding

Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy to Uncle Wig
gily one morning.
"a chocolate pudding for me?
That is very fine, l I'M sure,' said
the bunny rabbit gentleman. ~ But
Ilhave just eaten a good breakfast
of lettuce pancakes with maple sug-
ar sauce sprinkled on them, and,
though | am very fond of chocolate
pudding, 1 eouldn' t eat it now"
"Silly. 1 don't mean that you
are to eat it now,' laughed the
muskrat lady housekeeper. 4 am
just telling you it is'in the pantry,
so you will know where 10 look for
it at lunch time. l am going
down town, shopping at the five
and six cent store, and | may not
be back in time to get your lunch. "
u shall find the chocolate pud-
ding and eat that. - said Mr.. Long
ears. And please don't buy too
many diamond pianos at the five
and six cent store. -
"Ill be careful, y promised Nurse
Jane. and away she skipped, .aking
her tail with her. Uncle Wiggily
sat in his hollow stump bungalow
watching the clock and waiting for
noon. For the more lie thought of
the chocolate pudding the more he
wanted TO eat it.
But it, would not be polite to
take 1t before noon, which IS lunch
time. - he said to himself.
At last the clock struck twelve,

and the bunny cried:

and the bunny cried:
"Hurrah! Now for the chocolate
puddiDg!"
"May have some! ?" asked Il
voice at the door.
For a moment Uncle Wiggily
thought it might be the bad Weasel
coming back after having been hit
in the eye with the peach stone, as
told you in the story last night.
But, when Baby Bunty, the cute
little rabbit girl, came skipping in,
Uncle Wiggily's heart didn beat

"oh, it's you; is it?" asked Mr.
Longears.
Eyes, you hardly knew me, did

Resigns
Rather Than Say
He's Presbyterian
BY United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Dr. Harry
Emerson Fosdyck, widely known
moderist preacher, has rendered his
resignation as pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of New York,
refusing to accede to demand of
the Presbyterian general assembly
that he subscribe to the creed of
that denomination.
"My disinelination to become a
Presbyterian minister" he said in
letter to the regular meeting of the
New York Presbytery, "is not at
all due to UNCONVENTIONAL reasons.
"Were the transfer of my mem
bership from one denomination to
another the only question involved,
1 have no sectarian loyalties that
would make the change difficult.
"But that is not the only ques-
tion involved. The proposal of the
general assembly calls for a defi-
niteF creedal section, a. solemn as
sumption of theological vows in
terms of the Westminster confess
sion.
Gin answer to this proposal I
must in all honesty set my long
standing and assured conviction
that creedal subscription to ancient
confessions of faith is practic
church and to the integrity of the
individual conscience.
