by the washington JW post Is likely to cause cawse a revolution in la the usual methods of producing and applying V ing heat beat and light the apparatus used by the inventor consists simply of forty small mirrors arranged so that light reflected upon them can be converged upon one spot the effect being to concentrate t ligh of extreme brilliancy and to produce heat of arna aina amazing zIng intensity an experiment is alleged to have beon been blado in washington with taipi apparatus with thebe these results forty common gilt framed mirrors measuring each linches by 51 6 inches were arranged upon a frame like an artists artiste ease easel facing the frame was waa placed a portion of what was once a barn door al aiso also iso propped up and partly covered with a worn wom and faded

3 inches bybe by 6 inches upon the barn burn doors door doar and then tho the revelations began AB ike each mirror cast its quota of sunlight upon the common the tho parallelogram of light grew whiter and more dazzling until at last it looked like a patch of electric light in less than thirty seconds a thin curling of smoke gave evidence odthe of the tho progress of the experiment in a minute the board was vas bursting out in flames the focus 8 was then shifted upon the zinc in a few moments 0 it began to turn color then to shrink as if anxious to get et away where it was cooler an and I 1 then in three minutes the entire surface covered by the focus was literally melting drop by drop As it takes a temperature of degrees ehren Paren helt heit to melt zinc some idea can be had of the

god had established he reid read from the doctrine and covenants to show that the lord would only give revelations to the church through one appointed and in case of the person appointed becoming unworthy then he would be removed and another appointed in his stead while it was each members privilege to receive revelations for his own edification he had no authority to receive revelations revelation i to govern the Church for that belonged to the president of the church and so far as we dabbled in jn things outside outride of this order we would be injured and put ourselves on unsafe

place of resort for amusement and no action is taken either to hinder them in the least degree or to punish them in any way for their delinquencies we do not draw attention to their course for the

full liberty or that free agency which is the inherent right of all yet every member of a church ought to observe its rules and comply with its directions particularly if they profess to believe in its divine authority and in respect to the sabbath the regulations of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints are very plain and easy of observance the ithe inhabitants of zion shall also
