with the assistance of a mischievous
neighbor, is not used in this case. The
mirrors reflect the solar rays so that
they are concentrated upon the boiler.
.This boiler looks innocent enough in
the picture, but it is the business end'
of the machine. It is 13 feet, 6 inches
long, and made of fire-box steel. The
pipe which conducts the steam from
the little dome at the top of the boiler
to the engine-house, close at hand, is
flexible and entirely metalic, being
made of phosphor-bronze.
The operation of the Solar Motor is
quite simple. The effort has been to
make it entirely automatic so that the
saving in tho item of labor might bo
as complete as the saving in the item
of fuel. In the morning the reflector
must be brought into focus. A boy can
do this by turning a hand lever. In an
hour the engine is ready to start, witl
150 pounds of steam showing on the
gage. A turn of the throttle valve
starts the engine and the pump is soon
in full operation. "But," says some
one, "the sun is travelling all day."
Yes, and the reflector travels with it.
This is accomplished by means of a
clock-work arrangement which re
leases the reflector once each minute,
so that it keeps in true focus all day
long, driving the engine from within

an hour and a half of sunrise to half
an hour of sunset. This means ahout
eight hours' work in winter and about
thirteen in summer. It is expected
that tho motor will he good for fifteen
horse power in the summer when tho
sun falls vertically and is therefore
more effective. Difference in atmos
pheric temperature makes no appre
ciable difference in tho heat of the
boiler but with a low winter sun the
solar rays must penetrate a greater
depth of atmosphere about tho earth.
This reduces the efficiency of tho mo
tor somewhat. Its present trial is un
der conditions by no means the best.
It will be interesting to see what it
will do in the Salt River valley of Ari
zona in a long summer day when the
sun comes down like well, like a
thousand of brick, to put it mildly!
To describe the manner in which
the large reflector is mounted, how it
is balanced and how secured so that
it Is practically beyond danger of high
winds, and to tell how everything has
been arranged and adjusted to enable
the device to take the utmost advant
age of our western sunshine, would be
a very long story, involving a lecture
not only on practical mechanics, but
solar physics as well. But it should
be said that this wonderful machine is
no pretty toy or childish experiment.
It is the triumphant result of many
years of earnest effort on the part of
scientific men. From the day of
Archimedes, who was said to . have
fired the ships in the harbor of Syra
cuse by using a reflector to concen
trate the sun's rays upon them, to the
days of Ericsson, who bestowed his
thought on solar engines long before
and long after he gave us the Monitor,
eminent physicists have wrestled with
this problem. The inventor of the pres
ent device has familiarized himself
with all the learning on the subject
and has himself contributed much of
value to its data. The fact that his
name is not yet known to the public
in this connection" is pretty good evi
dence that he is no bombastic seeker
of foolish notoriety.
Tho old saying, "Make hay while
the sun shines," is now to be practical
ly illustrated in another way from the
original thought. After the solor mo
tor is used to pump water to irrigate
alfalfa no diagram will be necessary
to illustrate this new application of
an old adage.

The Eagle and the Sparrow
An Eagle on his lofty perch on Lib
erty Mountain saw a Sparrow on an
Island below sorely beset by a cruel
Hawk.
The little bird was plucked and
bleeding in the claws of its merciless
Foe. Suddenly the Eagle emitted a
cry of Anger" and ' Warning, ' and
screamed: "The Sparrow Is, and of right oiight
to be, free and independent." .
And he notified the Hawk that If he
did not at once release his prey and
quit the island he would, forthwith
eject him with beak and talon.
At the same time the chiValrlc Ea
gle proclaimed to all the birds of the
air and beasts of the fiejd that his
only purpose in interfering was the
salvation of the Sparrow, and that as
soon as the Piratical Hawk was driven
off forever he would leave the govern
ment and control of the island to its
native birds. , . . . . . ' :
After a short but sharp fight the
Hawk was whipped into the semblance
of a pigeon and; 'defeathered -and
crestfallen, took his departure for his
own land.
Did the Eagle then keep his prom
ise? Or did he say to the Sparrow:
"You must permit me to boss your
next building to say what company
you shall keep and give me a permo
nent roosting place in your tree; in
short, you are to be free only to the
length of my leading-string?"
It remains to be heard just what the
Eagle finally said to the Sparrow.
