In discussing all questions Of dynamic, 81
is but one main idea desired tltbop,h 80 90
ideas are importantly and that is M wee
power OF the force applied. NASa's
To Illustrate the tractive force Of tbsIo,-
tive would not be OF n material benef, Ssl.-
not for the fact OF its connection with we .
i've power OF the machine. Take away ~ NAt

in its tractive force, simply from he a.. - q
would be Of no use to the human family '--' Z
The main idea in all dynamicSl 0Iiast.-.
therefore, of what use is 1t? ~'R
There is much force IL nature vet ur,,.r.
by man, Notwithstanding the energies " \"
Nineteenth century have unveiled man ~ y. "
IN nature which have hitherto been rsS3y, 55.!sa
myths by the multitude. and which ca,.,SS-Aa

first water power machine -
Water power and steam were the most ,,,,.,
nent forces In use for many years but rs tO'
q new and more powerful agent Ia, ~
captured and put to work, and is thus n,5s'-
servant of man. Electricity has q wo55sSl
field of operation, and the half has nav s,'.-

In examining these forces and their pss, -,
the reasons of their development 70 their prs, 10y

to use their cunning in the makeup Of ~ ny -
chinery of the present day.
Water power has received more attention a..
any other power (for steam is only heated W..
for the reason Of its easy application.
Water power proper and steam are both N,
slant forces are known 20 be governed by ~
mon law which does not vary, hanss ~
chinery has been constructed to MAKE ~.
forces Of great benefit to man.
Electricity has only recently oecupis5 49,
public mind, and while q constant TONS I, =
not SO well known as water and steam povs,
In looking az these constant forces ~ "a,
them dependent upon law. Water is foree5t,
seek its level and steam is forced to rise nh,
common law is known as the law OF eravitstio,
The mysterious force of gravitatiOn has n,s,
agents which are captured ana harnesssd ,si
applied to the use of man.
Newton announced the law OF gravitatio,b
the world, but the world has yet TO learn olsl
Its power. Water power and steam are o. q,s1t
use to man, but the water power is far mon.
1t is not so situated that all men may use itG 4
will. Steam is ready to do the bidding Of svsy
one who is able to meet its expense, 5u. tbi,,
not the case with all
But gravitation has this advantage over 81
other things, that it Is every where preseu; al
only waits for the harness. II ia not sralF
that the minds OF men have not seen 4, BENZ
accustomed to use that we know will pfodlu F
the desired effect.
Gravitation harnessed and put 10 work vim,
one of the powers of the future. Ins;el4d T.
water, steam, wind or electricity, this power
will supplsnt them in many of their uses.
The writer expects to see the day when ng s
will use this power direct, and thus eheavt s
many of the products of life.
The harness for this power is easily ant
cheaply made, and can come within the reaehd
all men, and the day is not far distant when on
mothers viii be churning, grinding cOEss,
drawing water and sowing by this wondetl
force. The day is not far distant when o.
fathers will be irrlgating their lands, watering
stock, running printing presses and lighting
their homes with electricity, ginning their col.
ton. and other uses on the farm. Our raifoadi
will use it to lift their water into the tanks, Il
light their depots and saw their wood.
Time would fail me t6tsal of the great use tbs
wonderful power wSabkRc the human family. \
That gravitation 90 harnessed can be fully
proven by an sf8iar demonstration. Tia Z
