CONVERT SUN'S
RAYS TO POWER
INVENTOR HAS $100 MACHINE
THAT WILL INDEPENDENTLY
SERVE ANY HOUSE WTTH
/LIGHT FROM APPARATUS ON
ROOF.
Boston, March 15. —That he has
successfully solved the problem of
storing up the sun's rays and con
verting them into electrical energy
—a problem on which the scientists
of the world have been diligently
working, is the claim made by a
Boston inventor, George S. Cove of
Somerville.
Mr. Cove demonstrates the success
of his investigation by lighting his
workshop at Somerville with elec
tricity generated from a simple ap
paratus on the roof.
No electric wires of any sort enter
his buildings from outside lighting
sources, yet the incandescent globes
twinkle merrily day and night and
electricians from the Institute of
Technology who have watched with
interest his experiments are enthusi
astic over his success.
Machine Costs Only $100.
Cove has demonstrated that his
simple mechanism will store up suf
ficient electricity for an entire house.
He says the machines which can be
built at a cost of $100 each, when
encased in glass will last for ten
years without repair or alteration.
Cove's invention will be known as
the "solar electric generator," and is
designed to generate electricity di
rectly from the rays of the sun and
to store it for lighting and for small
power plants.
He began his experiments through
an accident, when one day he let
some glass and other metals remain
on the floor in the direct rays of the
sun and a connection between the
metals and his storage battery result
ed in storing the mwith electricity.
He then saw the possibilities of
such a device as he has perfected.
About a year ago he built a small
machine, three feet square. This
proving a success, he constructed a
working model of greater dimen
sions. This machine guarantees
through the day's sunshine enough
electricity to light five lights of 20-
--candle power each to last from three
to four days of continuous lighting.
in two days of sunshine the device
generates and stores up sufficient
electricity to last .six days.
This allows for times of bad
weather and by adding to the glass
in front of the device a heavy glass
of a concave surface, the cost of
which is very small, he says, will add
largely to the power of the appara
tus.
Has a Seven-Year Clock.
Storage batteries as large as are
desired may be used, the additional
equipment making greater strength
for the lights and giving also great
er length of service from the charg
ing. If the expected success comes
with this feature, one day's sunshine
will generate sufficient electricity to
light a house a week.
An electric clock, which Cove i
vented, which may be manufactured
for $1.60, and has only four wheels,
will run seven years without any at
tention.
He has also demonstrated the pow
er to run a motor by wireless power
and his transmission of power has
been made from his Roxbury home
to a motor in* Cambridge, six miles
away. He turned on a switch at
Roxbury and the motor in Cam
bridge, which develops four-horse
power, runs at full speed without
any other connection.
Christian Church Revivals.
Revival meetings began at tlw
Christian church yesterday morning.
There were Aye additions to the
church at the first service. The
church was filled at both services.
State Evangelist W. T. Adams
preached at the evening service. The
subject of his sermon was "The
Ripened Grain." He held the at
tention of the large audience to the
very last. Evangelist Adams will
preach every night this week. Serv
ices will begin promptly at 7:30 p.
m. and close not later than 9 o'clock.
A cordial nvitation is extended to
all to attend and enjoy these serv
ices. The Christian church people
are anticipating a great meeting.
Another Russell Here.
Frank, another brother of the well
known family of Russell brothers, ar
rived here yesterday from Cobalt.
Ontario. He is looking the valley
over with a view to locating and is
very much pleased with the pros
pects here.

EXPERT ORCHARDIST
Do you realize that an in
competent man turned loose in
your orchard with something
with which to cut off limbs
will work hundreds of dollars
of damage to your orchard
every day he works, and may
permanently ruin it, where a
competent man will make you
hundreds of dollars every day
he works? There is a differ
ence between cutting off limbs
and pruning. See J. S. Young,
