conquest Of the atmosphere. 1t is the part
of good sense to consider beforehand what are
destined to be the consequences of that revo-
luton upon the economic conditions of life,
and upon the relations between nations. Let
us hope that the conquest, which supposes
an all-powerful industry and a transcendent
science, will come when civilization has
reached such level that 1t will recognize
Justice right and peace as alone concordant
with the welfare of mankind. 1t may be
that this wish is vain. but at any rate the
discoveries, when they come, will present
one aspect under which their benefits will be
undeniable, and their fruits will be un1nixed
with any bitter; and that is their scientific
aspect. When man takes possession of this
new estate he will garner as his first harvest
complete meteorology, phenomena and
cause, thru the whole depth Of the atmos-
phere, and this knowledge, be sure, will have
consequences which we can hardly imagine

will be used-,the better to avail oneself of
the energy now wasted in the tides, In great
waterfalls, and the solar energy which, in
q given time, is scattered over the earth in
six hundred thousand times the amount Of
what is brought up from the coal mines. Such
will be the benefits which posterity will reap
from these pacific conquests which I love
to contemplate" p.
