In the Field of Electricity
m
Tfce Fat are of Electricity.
N A RECENT address before
students of the New York
Uectrlcal Trade school. Dr.
CharUa P. Btelnnjetx. professor
of electrical engineering- at
.Vnlon colli ge, . Schenectady,
N, Y , and connuUJug engineer . of
ths General Electric company, dis
cussed "The Future of EWn-trlclty "
with all the enthusiasm of an ad
vanced optimist. , He predicted that young
men now living would .see the exhaustion
of our supply of anthracite. The naturul
course then will be to rely upon our de
posits of soft coal for protection against
freeilng. but the government, In Dr. Stein
niets's opinion, will be obliged to prohibit
this or the air we breathe will Ix-come
permeated with poisonous gait. The hopo
of the future for life, as Dr. Bteinmets
seas It. Uea In electricity.
Ths United States that la to come will
bo a country entirely devoid nf its pivsint
river scenery. The risers of the future
will be pnerely a succession of sluggish
lakes, with . electrical power stations In
beiwoaa. Ail th uttla streams will nava
been wiped out and their combined strength
converged into yie great bodies of water
that are to supply the heat, light and
power of the future.
"Electricity In the future," said the pro
fessor," will have to solve the problem
of collecting the water power. Now wo
convert It where we fin it 1ito electricity;
wa haven't started collecting it as yet. We
have been dreaming of transporting
Niagara's power to New York. They will
never do that, but the different powers
join-d together may feed the same system.
"What we get today, however, of our
real water power la a mere nothing. No
attempt Is made to get the enormous
power that goes to waste in tha spring
floods. I,ok at tha enormous unused
power in the little creeks and rivulets.
New methods will have to be devised for
collecting the Joint power of all of these
creeks and rivers. That Is what we will
have to do when we face tha possibility
of freexlng.
"There are hard times coming for future,
renerattoila. Wo can see now In what
direction things will tend. We think now
It Is net worm while dolus these things,
but the time will coma when they will have
to be done. They won't Uvo in houses
such as we have now. They will have to
collect the sunshine. They will appreciate
that It takes a lot of electrical power to
produce a little heat."
Electrical bath Robe.
The real thing In warm clothes has ar
rived. It is a self-heating bath robe. The
possessor of this novel garment, accoid
lng to Popular Mechanics, simply puts it
on and attaches himself to the nearest
electric fixture by means of a wire. He Is
then Independent of all other sources of
artificial heat furnaces, steam radiators,
eto. The bath robe stove has a network of
fine wires embedded In the cloth, which
becomes hot when the current Is turned
on.- Tha degree of heat can be regulated
by means of a switch in on of the pockets.
Tha device Is simplicity It self and obviously
applicable to - ether garments as well as
bath robes. If this method of healing were
generally adopt,) the annual auvlng of
coal would be something, enormous. In
this electric pluggage people going to call
oould carry their own clothes stoves with
them and simply make connection with tha
visitor's switchboard In ths drawing room
upon their arrival and heat up.
'
Wtrelsaa Progress.
Tha coo fids qos of. Uis backers of the
Marconi wireless telegraph la well founded.
Progress in the development of tha system
of communication equals, If It does not
surpass, that which marked the Infant
years of the telephone a quarter of a cen
tury. At the meeting of the Marconi cor
poration in London last month the chair
man. Sir Charles Evan Smith, who de
clared the company had overc.ima Its Ini
tial difficulties and had laid the founda
tion of future success on a sound basis.
Wireless communication with the United
States was row easy, and he hoped soon
to reduce the cost to 60 per cent of tha
existing submarine rates. Mr. Marconi
addressed the meeting and his remarks
were received with enthusiasm. He said it
would be possible soon to increase the
speed of transmission to thirty words a
minute and that he would be able also to
effect duplex workings between w:re!ess
stations. In conclusion Mr. Marconi said:
"I again put on rocoid my. strong belief
that wlrelesa telegraphy Is destined to be
come an Indispensable aid to civilization
In affording a new. and economical means
of communication with countries at a great
distance, as well as with ships at sea."
A Day Wlthoat Electricity.
As a rule we fall to appreciate fully tha
dally Importance. aX aiaetrlutt la this busy
world beuauee the subtle current has be
come so universal and common as to pa
almost unnoticed. And. Ilka all things
of common good. It is missed only when
it Is gone. People use ths telephone, tha
telegraph, ride on the street cars and turn
on the electrlo lights without a thought
of the hourly Importance of electricity to
their comfort and convenience. It is only
when the "juice" Is gone) and the lights
refuse to burn, tha cars do not run and the
wlrea are carrying no meeragca and we
realise what a gift Is that greatest of
nature's treasures electricity.
Suppose by some catastrophy of nature
all electricity should cease some night
at tha mystic hour of twelve, that the
giant water wheels and ateain engines
sohuld continue to while the huge genera
tors, but not an amphcre, of the electrlcty
would flow along tha miles and miles of
transmission wlrea
Just suppose such a th1rg to be.
Industry after Industry would be without
power and thousands would be thrown out
of employment. Tha dentist could not fill
teeth; the physicians could net use the
X-ray or other electrical apparatus; the ar
tisans could not run their small motor
driven machinery until the old foot power
was restored. Tha printing press, which
aiw driven by motors, would slop and evety
motor-driven convenience would refuse to
do Its work.
The compass would not work snd it would
be Impossible to sail tha seas.
All communications front place ta plao
and from nation to nation would ceaae.
The dally news service would stop.
Electricity Is so identified with every In
dustry and tha preparation of vary pro
duct that the piloes of nearly everything
to eat, wear, read, or use would be seriously
advanced. Nearly all water power develop
ments would bo worthless. Incurring a loss
of billions. Coal would advance 100 par cent
in price. Steam eqglns would be tha only
form of power available fer large Industries
and the cost, of everything would go up
accordingly.
Bteamahips would cease ta be In constant
communication with each other and tha
mainland.
The city streets would ba In total dark
ness every nrfght until oil and gas lamps
