George Collard- Adam* -wm "bap
tized last night, Dec. 13, 1916, at
the home of the child’s parents, by
the Rev. George John Zlnn, rector
of the Episcopal church. .
George Collard Adams, the son of!
James Bushnell Adams and Ethel |
Collard Adams, was born In Valdez,
on November 22, 1916.
The sponsors for the child were,
George Sterlin Truitt, Giv rge Per
kins and Ethel Rebecca Collat'd.
The baptism was witnessed by Mr.!
and Mrs. Jamco L. Galen.
HUN WARMH HOUSE
THE COED WINTEft DAYS
“Bottled Sunshine” is what Alber
ta Barnes, a local machinist and a
genius, calls his new invention—a;
caloric contrivance which lie uses to
heat his house in winter and to do:
the washing, ironing and all other;
household tasks requiring stored'
force.
On the hottest days in summer Mr. |
Barnes catches the rays of the sun at
the focus of a bright tin roof on his
house and conveys the heat to his
barn, which he has remodeled into an
Immense model of a fireless cooker
box. In this building great squares
of artificial stoneare placed and the
heat is stored within these big disks.
These are closely packed Inside bales
of pressed straw. The stones hold
more than 1,200,000 calories of heat,
sufficient to heat his house all winter
and to supply all needed extra heat.
Mr. Barnes claims that it took only
ten days last summer to charge his
hot storage plant! The idea for the
contrivance oiiglnated with Mr.
Barnes when he was trying to paint
the roof of his* house on a hot day.
Finding such great heat on the tin
he was curious to know if food could
be cooked there, and taking a beef
steak to the roof he left it. After
a wait of an hour he crawled to the
top of the house and found the steak
cooked to a crisp. This incident, gave
him the idea of his storage plant.
Hundreds of visitors are viewing
the di3h-shaped roof, the hothouse
and heating system at the home of
Mr. Barnes, who says that as ther^
is no meter on the sun he does not
expect to pay a cent for heat the re
mainder of his life.—Nome Nugget.
