telling you all about it. My dear
Wrinkle, have made discovery of
such colossal magnitude and universal
import that compared to it my egg
transporter dwindles into the merest
insignificance. James, Mr.. Bright's
hired man, let drop few words the
other day that set me thinking, and
when begin to think seriously on any
subject, my dear Wrinkle, results are
absolutely compelled to follow
cit was in regard to fire. ANY one,
said he, can release the latent heat
from combustible matter, but no one
can return it to its earlier FORM
This is what l have accomplished.
Yes, I know you will smile; but it is a
fact nevertheless. have invented
machine which l have named The
Hetrophone.'
by process, which [ shall explain
to you when L am back at the college,
the hetrophone can return heat-fire,
or flames ifyou wilEto its form before
liberated by ignitionin vastly inten-
sified state, and with this difference
that it may again be released without
being reignited. The hetrophone has
a transmitter, placed in or near fire
will absorb the heat as it issues forth
from the burning matter and pass it
into a condenser or reducer where it is
transformed or reformed, into a fluid
or energy that may be transmitted over
any length of wires and be again re-
leased at the end by the receiver. The
transmitter does not diminish the fire
by which it is placed; it only concen-
trates and absorbs the heat that is
otherwise exhausted.
"Do you realize. my good Wrinkle,
: what this actually means? Do you
fully grasp the vastness of this stupen-
dous invention? It means saving to
the world in fuel amounting to millions,
: billions or trillions of dollars. Look
, at the great volume of heat that has
been wasted in space throughout the
: ages. All that waste shall cease. By
the use of my hetrophone large-sized
furnace in the center of New York
would furnish heat, light and power
) for the whole city. The, money ex-
pended in manufacturing the hetro-
phone and erecting of wire lines would
be repaid hundred times in the saw
: ing of coal and woed it would accom-
E plish. Eighty per. cent of the men
: engaged in mining coal may be en-
l ployed as wire-men, and the wood
Q choppers of the American forests set
Q to cutting and erecting poles. My
: hetrophone will prevent the worlds
q fuel supply from being exhausted. BY

r tive volcanoes. Heat waves may be
a sent from Mount Hecla to reclaim the
J. frozen regions of the far North. BY
Q its use we may turn the snow-cla6
}. Steppes of Siberia into fertile plains
O Why, my dear old Wrinkle, we canno,
q even begin to appreciate its many
d merits. The fluid or energy is so in

!. be handled with as much safety as {
IS stick of wood 1t may be carried abou

s. utilized at any time. Really, my dea
r Wrinkle, am myself astonished at th'
D. wonderful power 1 have produced
IL And 1 fully realize the enormou
wealth and prominence to which
Is may attain by keeping my discover,
. a secret and charging the public exor
: bitant prices for it's use. l could be
. multi-millionaire in no time, dear Win
If kle; but such is not my intention. Nc
: with my usual generosity and goo
q will toward mankind, shall give m
= invention to the world, for the benefi
!. of the entire human race. And n
T man shall be permitted to take advant
q. age of the great utility of my dir
~ covery and wax rich and fat at tn
expense of his fellow men.
10 Tomorrow shall set the hetrophon
n in operation and astonish these simpl
.. people. 1 should so much like t
i. have you here with me to share m
II triumph. However, we must defe
that pleasure until some other day.
