GIVES LECTURE At COLLEGE
Shows Wonderful Works in Science
One Of Worlds ExperimentaIists
Wild Dreams Realized.

| Augustana college chapel was filled
last evening with an audience eager TO
learn of the mysteries in science pre-
sented in scholarly lecture by Reno
B. Welbourn one of the greatest eX-
perimentalists of this day. Prof. Wei
bourn held the attention of the audi
ence from the beginning to the end of
his lecture. scientific facts being illus
| trated to the audience by means of
miniature apparatus
| Wireless telegraphy received its
share of attention and an illustration
was given how this apparatus might
practically be applied 10 fire alarm
system. burglar alarm, as well as the
signaling of ships at sea, or across
vast distances on land, the power To
be generated through properly con-
structed poles. These would be erect
ed and extend far enough into the at
mosphere to take the energy from light
and heat, which is now wasted, and
convert it into practical uses. AS
Prof. Welbourn expressed it, THE
time will come, possibly a century
from now, when these poles will be
prominent throughout the land, a
means of conducting messages, supply
ing light. heat and other necessities -
He prophesied that the time would
come when all modes of conveyances
would be underground, the power used
in prOpelling TO be electricity only
Electricity will be used in all the
homes, even for ovens, arranged with
thermometers so accurate that no lon
ger will the blushing bride need to
fear the task of preparing the food and
the "stony biscuit" will be a thing of
the past
Heat From Water.
In the year 1000 power will be gen.
Grated from water. it having been dis
covered that solution of common
salt water with a liberal covering of
oil will generate heat in surprising
quantities. Vast power stations will
be erected by the sides of the great
bodoies of water and regular stations
throughout the country will dispatch
the power through the agency of the
steel spires erected for that purpose.
Other interesting experiments were
given. such as boiling water with the
heat of the hand, running a steam en-
CINE by wireless power-the trans
mission of power through etherAthe
boiling of liquids in cold water, clock
pendulums at various distances werepro-
PEELED by the same power without a
connection of wire and the illustration
of the uses to which radiophone may
be put; also phosphoresce painting.
In his closing remarks, Prof. Wei
bourn said that he was sure that the
widest dream of the present day ex-
perimentor would be in everyday use
a hundred years hence.
