The experimental house, being pictured in the newspapers, as scientists seek to trap sunlight and store it in the cellar for winter use, is traceable to Dr. Cabot. In 1937, he gave Harvard university $615,773 to carry forward some of his ideas about storing solar energy. A year later, he gave a similar amount to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the same purpose. And now Prof. Hoyt C. Hottel of M. I. T. has his sunshine bungalow built, with a heat trap on the roof, sluicing sunshine down into the cellar. Perhaps with a winter supply of sunshine, put up like jelly or preserves, nobody would want to start a war. He has been a generous patron of aviation, learning to fly a seaplane in his late years, inventing a system by which a plane can pick up fuel in flight, and is now governor and former president of the National Aeronautic association. He has endowed various branches of research, including botanical studies. A native of Boston, he attended M.
