Sthi S'i'
This is the dictum of a veteran eX-
aminer in one of the most important
patent office bureaus. If ii is correct,
the next decade Will see the world:
Navigating the AR.
Successfully navigating the depths of
the oceans.
Buying automobiles Of great power,
endurance ana capacity for prices that
will look insignificant by comparison
with those EoW paid.
Using wireless trlesraphy and per-
haps wireless telephony as commonly
us the wire telegraph and telephone are
now used.
Looking into the face of the person at
the other end of the telephone. though
he be 1000 miles away.
Using as power the energy of the
tides and waves OF The nccal,, conver;
Ing 1t into electricity which will be
shipped all over the country in Won
derful storage batteries.
Using the railroads rs If they we're
street car lines, running single ca:.s,
with imprOycd gasoline or electric, mo-
tors every few uinutes instead OF uN-
Grating long trains at intervals Of
hours.
These are just a few suggestive
glimpscs into the near future If the
next decade or two shall see the activi-
ties of Inventive genius crys,aliled into
achievement as; lley have been IA the
past.
