Is Discovered by French Scientist Paris, July 28.—Jules Guillot of Vichy announces that he has discov ered a method for obtaining electricity without cost by directly utilizing the component parts of the atmosphere. “Up to the present time.’ says M. Guillot, “scientists have tried to cap ture electricity from a single point In the atmosphere, and have succeeded only in obtaining feeble power. “I realized that the reason for this was that the negative and positive electrical currents annihilated pach other. Ultra-violet rays, striking a conductor charged with electricity, neutralize it. Similarly, rays of the sun, rich in ultra violet rtfys. dis charge electricity on striking a con ductor, thus forming a negative cur rent which I have captured with an tennae posed toward the zenith. “As to positive currents, on which ultra-violet rays have no effect, they are caught in a group about the equator. * "In hitting the two currents thus captured against each other.' I ob tained considerable power. V .th an apparatus measuring three yards square, I lighted 10 lumps pf 50 can die power each, besides heating my flat. With a larger apparatus, it would be \ery f*aey to illuminate and heat a whole town.” ^-DIAMONDS >, Engagement rings $25 to $8,000 1 See Our Special 385 Platinum Solitaife ALBERT EDHOLM ^2d Floor City N«t'l Bk.
