To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1838 Sir John Herschell gave his attention to this subject, and at the Cape of Good Hope proved for himself and those who read his testimony, that there is a tremendous energy in the sun's rays v/hich man may appro- priate for his uses. 1 have not been abl« to discover any applica- 6 tion for a patent on any sort of sun-utilizing machine earlier than the year 1854, wh6n, in Lon- don Antoine Poncon thus announces his claim : "My invention consists in using the sun's rays to create a vacuum in... a suitable vessel, elevated at the height of a column of water; which, in the above vacuum, is kept in equilibrinm by the pressure of the atmosphere. Such vacuum be- ing formed, I till it with wafer acted upon by the externa] pressnre of the atmosphere, and thus obtain a head of water which may be applied as a motive power. " Unfortunately one can learn nothing more of thi'sjirst patentee in salaries ; but his registered wisdom is very suggestive for others, it cannot, however, be said that he ofters any practical solution of the problem.
