of harnessing the elements to do man’s

Electric Motors Run by the Sun Fur
nish Light and Power.
Electric power from sunlight appears
more wonderful than harnessing the
streams of wind. Yet we know some
thing of the vast heat of the sun.
Solar engines for operating pumps
have been In use In different parts of
the earth for several years now, and
their value In warm climates, where
the number of days of clear sunshine
averages high, must steadily Increase.
One of the most successful of these
solar machines Is located near Los An
geles to Irrigate fruit land, says a
writer In St. Nicholas. An automatic
stand carrying great reflectors follows
the course of the sun as regularly as
the best telescope ever made, and the
sun’s rsys sre thus reflected on s cen
tral point, where the boiler of s small
angina Is located. Within an hour aft
er sunrise the heat of the snn raises
ths temperature of the water to tbs
boiling point and thr - creates steam,
and ths pumping mtu uiuery begins Its
day’s work and keeps it up until sun
down.
The power of the sun for heating has
only been faintly appreciated by scien
tists in tbs past, but ths prediction la
mads now that if all ths coal should
give out ws would soon be able to run
much of our machinery from ths pow
er of ths sun. yirith BOO mirrors prop-
oily arranged to focus ths rsys upon
one point a temperature of mors than
1,000 degress has been obtained. This
almost equals one-fifth ths highest tem
perature recorded by the electric fur
nace, which is considered today the
moot powerful heating apparatus over
A# these is po limit to the
Proposition to Increase Efficiency of
College Inetruotion.
To broaden the minds of both stu
dents and professors In American col
leges Professor Rudolf Tombo, Jr., reg
istrar of Columbia university, has a
unique plan modeled on a similar one
now In use in Germany.
He expects to propose it to the As
sociation of American Universities at
that body’s next meeting.
“The education of the average college
student lacks broadness,’’ said Profess
or Tombo to a New York Evening Mall
reporter. “Both undergraduates and
professors are confined to the limits of
their own institutions of learning. It
<s the duty of InstrHotors to Impart to
students not only book knowledge, but
the learning that comes only through
experience.
“Professors who spend their lives
shut up la ods college amid the same
surroundings do not acquire -a large
grasp on life and methods in other
communities. Not having this wide
range of experience, they are unable to
Impart it to the students. The result
Is that the education of the young men
In our universities lacks range.
“I know of but one way to correct
(bis evil. Let professors and instruct
ors circulate between colleges. Say,
for Instance, let a man spend a year at
Yale, and then a year at Harvcrd. and
then perhaps a year at Leland Stan
ford. Such an interchange of profess
ors would tend to broaden ths minds of
the instructors and students as well.
“Tbs teachers would be enabled to
observe methods and conditions In
widely differing parts of the country
and thus would get a grip on the ne
cessities In ths communities In which
they were situated.
1 bsllsvs by this method, which
would ho o practical amslgomstloo of
the Improvements and ideas of ths
whole collegiate kingdom of ths Unit
ed SUtes, that wo would obtain tbs
acme of rooulto.
“A similar plan between Franco and
this oountry la being talked of, and al
ready our profomom Interchange with
these of Germany. I would strongly
advocate swfe a scheme, and I hago
