NOMEITE HEATS
HOME WITH
"Bottled Sunshine” is what Alberti
Barnes, a Nome machinist and genius
calls his new invention — a calorb
contrivance that he uses to heat hi
house-in winter and to do the wash
ing, ironing and all other householi
tasks requiring stored force.
ii 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 stone are placed and the
heat is stored within these big disks.
These are closely packed inside bales
of pressed straw. The stones hold
t more than 1,200.000 calories of heat,
, sufficient to heat his house all winter
: and to supply all needed extra heat,
i Mr. Barnes claims that it took only
- ten days last summer to charge his hot
l storage plant. The idea for the con
trivance originated with Mr. Barnes
when he v as 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 beefsteak
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 for his storage plant.
Hundreds of visitors are viewing
the dish shaped roof, the hothouse and
heating system at the home of Mr.
Barnes, who says that as there is no
meter on the sun he does not expect
to pay a cent for heat the remainder of
his life.

The Daily Times is a member of the
Associated Press. Got the news.
ALTHOUGH many of the old cus
toms have been dropped and al
. most forgotten. New Year's
I>art!es are not out of date. A
lire one Is a pantomime of an enchant
'd girl.
A damp sheet must be fastened up
icross the room or between the folding
loors of the parlor. First fasten the
'orners of the sheet, next the center ol
*arh of the four sides In order that the
'loth may lie perfectly smooth; then
dace a lighted candle on the Boot
ibout four or five feet from the cen
er of the curtain. When the lights In
lie room occupied by the company are
turned out shadows of the actors be
hind the curtain may be seen on the
screen, some one, standing outside the
mrtaln and facing (lie audience, should
relate the story of the play—of how a
young girl while walking out on tin
last day of October meets Halloween
who presents her with three gifts tr
try her fortune, and how, when she It
about to do so, n witch enchants her
etc. After the story Is finished and a
lively overture has been performed or
some musical Instrument tbe panto
mime is played as follows:
Halloween Appeare.
The young girl personating tbe en
chanted one comes gayly forward fron
the side. When almost across the cur
tain sho meets Halloween, who ap
proaches from the opposite side, ar
rayed In a short dross, with \\ Ingi
made of newspaper folded fan fash
Ion and fastened on the shoulders
In her hand she entries a cane with t
silhouette of a cat or two or threi
stars and a crescent cut of stiff browt
nnper and pasted on the end.
Halloween shows the maiden threi
gifts—an apple, a hand mirror and ni
unllghted candle. Instead of the mlr
ror a crystal ball may be used.
Seeking the Future In the Crystal Bel
Before presenting them she lllus
tratc* by gestures the use to be mad
of each. Holding the mirror or glob
In front of her face, she bites the ap
pie, then looks quickly around, as 1
expecting to see some one, and, agali
holding up the mirror or globe In om
ha ml and the candle In the other, sb
takes a few steps backward. When i
hoy or young man euters by Jumplni
over tho light, which gives the ap
pearance of his having fnllen fron
the sky, Halloween looks around, am
tho hoy or man quickly disappears.
All tills time the girl stands trails
fixed with her hands raised and all th
fingers spread fit In astonishment
She receives the presents, which an
given with mauy nods and gestures.
The Old Witch Enters.
As the maiden then takes up th
applo and mirror or gloho her hand 1
stayed by a witch with flowing halt
who has approached unpercelved, cat
rylng under one arm a broom am
wearing on tier head an ordinary ha
with a piece of newspaper rolled U]
and pinned on to form a pe iked crown
The poor girl looks anxiously aroum
and discovers she has been enchanted
for there are three girls Instead of one
This effect Is produced by two mor
lighted caudles being placed on th
floor on either side of the first caudle
The caudles are removed, and the Oh
Year, an old mail, instantly apiiears.
Discovering him quickly, the girl run
forward to tell her sorrows and find
that It Is only when uiuue that she 1
enchnuted, for when she attempts b

she looks hero and there for them, bu
In vain. Then as the Old Year leave
she bids lilm a sorrowful adieu.
The Little New Year,
immediately little New Year euters
crowned with a paper star and wear
lug wings of paper. The young glr
rushes to meet the New Year with i
hearty greeting. She then tells bin
of her enchantment and kneels dowu
and the little New Y’ear raises boti

YAKUTAT TO THE FRONT
WITH MANY NEWSY ITEM8.
•
A communication received from
Yakutat contains a paragraph which
for news is a humdinger and conveys s
in part, the writer states, the happen- I
ings there of interest to the outside
world:
This place, or rather at the cannery,
was lively last fall and although a mar- ■
shal was here, more beer was made, !
and r am afraid more whiskey Bold |
than ever before. He was taken away §
in October. Jim Blaine, as you saw
In the papers, did a cutting up scrape.
Tom Smith did nearly as bad as Se- 1
tuck in October. John Yamotoee blew
his brains out at the cannery three
weeks ago. and drink (beer) was the |
cause of it. Tom Smith got six months „
and Mr. Olson took him down ten days :
ago, as he had to attend court. A L
week ago yesterday our people went
to Setuck to a potlatch given by the |
Dry Bay Indians, and a boy, Johnny §
Bremner, fell off the bridge and was ?
drowned, and now several of our 1
young ones are sick with measles. 1
Quite a lot for a small community like i
this.—Ex.

New Year’s Morning
By HELEN HI NT JACKSON
ONLY a night from old to new!
Only a night and so much
wrought!
- | The Old Year's heart all weary
grew.
But said, “The New Year rest has
bronght.”
The Old Year’s heart its hopes laid
down
As in a grave, but, trusting, said,
“The blossoms of the New Year’s
crown
Bloom from the ashes of the
dead."
The Old Year’s heart was full of
greed;
With selfishness it longed and
ached
And cried, “I have not half I need;
My thirst is bitter and unslahed,
But to the New Year’s generous
hand
All gifts in plenty shall return;
True loving it shall understand;
By all ray failures it shalMJearn
I have been reckless; it shall be
Quiet and calm and pure of life.
■ I was a slave; it shall go free
And find sweet peace where I
leave strife."
. Only a night from old to new!
Night and the healing balm of
sleep!
Each morn is New Year’s morn come
true,
, More of a festival to keep.
All nights are sacred nights to j
make
Confession and resolve and prayer.
Ail days are sacred days to wake
New gladness in the sunny air.
I
Only a night from old to new!
, Only a sleep from night to morn!
The new is but the old come true;
Each sunrise sees a new year
born.
