grind flour; it should be made to learn how
to run locomotives and operate electric
and other mechanical plants on a large
scale. Once harness the Bay of Fundy
properly, and power light and heat
should be furnished at a small fraction
of their present cost.
That the notion of putting the moon to
work is by no means SO new as most people
would be likely to imagine is shown by
reference to one or two things which the
Chinese have been accustomed to do
for centuries. Not many years ago one
or our war-ships happened to be anchored
in a river in the Middle Kingdom, when
a cannon, which was being brought on
deck, was by some untOward accident
dropped overheard. The American Off
GERS, after trying many expedients to
recover the gun, gave it up as lost; but
just about that time half dozen China
men came along and, undertaking the
Job, proceeded to demonstrate their
superiority as engineers.
1t was not practicable, as matter of
fact, to raise the cannon by any means of
the ordinary sort at hand, the requisite
power being lacking But the Chinese
proceeded to employ the moon to do the
lifting, and the way in which they accom-
plished this was to bring a float and
some tall sheer-legs, sticking the latter
deep into the mud at the bottom of the
river, and attaching the former to the
gun by means of ropes. This was done
at low tide, and the next high tide neceS-
sarily raised the cannon SIX feet from
the bottom. At that height it was Sc
cured, and by repeating the operation
again and again, the big weapon, which
was worth some thousands of dollars, was
finally lifted out of the water and placed
upon the deck of the ship
As matter of fact, the method adopted
in the raising of the gun was extremely
old, having been familiar to mechanical
experts in the East for centuries. They
have long made a practice of utilizing
such means for lifting enormous stones
in building docks and other structures
in water), elevating them to any desired
height by the simple eXpedient of placing
timbers beneath the float as fast as the
tides gave space for them. In this
fashion, with sheer-legs long enough and
an adequate supply of tlOatable material,
a stone or other heavy object might be
raised hundreds of feet into the air. To
the power available in such a case there
is no limit, inasmuch as all the energy
of the moons attraction is doing the
pulling.
Here, then, furnished by the desPised
Chinese, is another excellent object lesson
in the possibilities of utilizing lunar
energy-a source of power upon which
man may yet, and at no distant day,
draw largely for help in his manifold
activities. For many purposes, esPe-
cial1y in view of the threatened exhaus-
ton of the worlds fuel supply, this power
IS urgently required. We need the moon,
in fact, in our business, and the problem
of putting the satellite to work, and COM
pelling it to do hard and continuous labor,
is one of the most important at present
awaiting solution by human inventive
genius.
