But the compressed air engine has made

railway in Troy. n. Y. was operated Tor
several years by compressed air, and
others in Europe have met with varying

affect an enormous saving in fuel. The
power house will need steam engines or
water or electrical energy with which to
compress the air, but only engines OF low
capacity will be needed. Moreover. when

the value Of personality as factor In the

Harvesting the Tides.

Nothing has been done practically to-
ward appropriating the power of the tides
for mechanical purposes. But the few ex-
perlments that have been made and the
theories that have been evolved are eX-
tremely interesting The fact has been
established that by the building of jet
ties in the form of the letter V. having
a narrow opening at the point of the
angle seward, the force of the tides can

omen. The success attending this form OF
harbor improvements at Charleston, Gal
weston, and other points holds out the
hone that the damming of sea water at
high tide In large volume may be used
to turn wheels for mechanical purposes
while the tide is out. OF course, the
Intermittent flow OF water is serious
obstacle to be surmounted. and the i'm
mense cost of apparatus probably puts
sea mills out of the question for half of n
century; but the storage of electricity is
possible, and subjuSation of the tides for
heating, lighting, and furnishing power
for the great cities beside the ocean is
n problem which will be solved before the
coal gives out. The ruin of Galveston
has recently shown how great tidal power
really is.
The windmill undoubtedly will remain

small degree of energy is required The
winds are powerful, but the fluctuations

The remark attributed to Archimedes
that with a fulcrum on which to rest a
lever he could move the earth was only
metaphorical way of saying that the
application of power makes all things
possible. No matter what is attempted in
any field, accomplishment depends upon
the expenditure of energy, and force in
some form must be applied before there
can be an evolution of energy.
Bur until quite recently mechanical
power has been developed almost ex-
clusively from the consumption of ma
terial. The age of steam has been
marked by enormous destruction and
prodigal waste OF fuel Wood from the
forest and coal from the mine have van
ished in appalling quantity to heat steam
boilers for driving engines in the per-
Torrance of the worlds work. Experts
have riveted their minds upon the prob
lem for more than sixty years. but not
yet has any method of producing steam
been made commercially available which
fairly deserves to be called economical.
The heat gees up the chimney together
with the gases and unburned residue of
the coal, to be dissipated and lost, and
the trailing serpent Of the smokestack
which blackeus the air and helps to be-
foul manufacturing cities with smut and
dirt gives evidence of prodigal waste
within. II has been estimated that Gu
the average out of 100 pounds Of coal con-
sumed in the production of steam, not
more than GS pounds are made available
the rest is dead waste.
The annual output of coal In this coun-
try is 225.0C0,CC0 tons; Great Britain pro-
duces 2li,000000 tons; Germany's quota
is about los. COO and in all the world
not less than 775, Geo, Geo tons Of fuel is be-
ing taken annually from the mines. Of
this enormous output "a per cent is used
in operating mines and reducing metals;
90 per cent is consumed for domestic pur-
poses; . Per cent is required in general
manufacture. and % per cent is employed
in the Development Of power for trans
portation. Al least Go psr cent OF the en-
tire product is burned W under steam
boilers. where thirty-two tons out of every
100 is estimated as waste It is the same
