ELECTRICITY

Gruesome Prophecy Of German Man
Of Science as to What Our Ex-
travasanee Is Bringing Us To

Washington, ID. c., May PA New
York dispatch to the Post says: DR..
Charles p. Steinmetz, professor of
electrictl engineering at Union Col
,ege, Schenectady, and consulting en-
gineer Of the General Electric Com
pany, predicts that the present gene
ration will see the exhaustion of our
supply of anthracite. The natural
course then will be to rely upon our
deposits of soft coal for protection
against freezing, but the government
i'll DR.. Steinmetz's opinion. will be
obliged to prohibit this or the air we
breathe will become permeated with
poisonous gases. The hope of future
generations for life, as Dr. Steinmetz
sees it. lies in electricity.
The United tSates that is to come
will be country entirely devoid of its
present river beauty. The rivers of
the future will be merely a succession
Of sluggish lakes. with electric power
stations in between. All the little
streams will have been wiped out, and
their combined strength conveyed into
the great bodies of water that are to
supply the heat light and power Of the
future.
But even the outstanding of ali our
water power will not be sufficient.
There must be economy along other
lines. The energy Of Old Sol himself
must be trapped and saved. Our build
ing methods will have to undergo q
change. Provision will have to be
made for the utilization of the suns
rays in the heating of homes. That's
probably where glass roofs will come

large part of what we take out of the
soil we dump into the rivers as sew

we cannot hope to utilize all of this.

Formally Laid

tions, these subscriptions have been
we'll and fully earned by the depart
ment. The address of Mr.. Wise was
well received, and at it's close the
work of constructing the building
was turned over to the contractor. In
a cavity in the corner stone was en-
closed roll bearing a list of the
names of the Tonopah fire depart
ment. Interesting in this connection
is the fact that as soon as Senator
Newlands and Judge Talbot, who
were in town, heard of the ceremony
and of the gymnasium, the former
donated $25 to the gymnasium fund,
and the latter IS.
The new building, which has been
named the Tonopah Volunteer Fire
Department gymnasium, will be a
structure 3Ox7O feet, frame construc-
ton, and is being built on the north
side OF the fire house. With its
equipment it will cost $500. The
gymnastic equipment will be second
to that of no gymnasium in the state.
Baths, lavatories. ETC., will also be
included, and the place will be a
home for the boys in which they will
at once find recreation and physical
upbuilding which will enable them to
do the most efficient work.

WOOD PULP DUTY
4 MAY BE REMOVED.
JOIN Sharp Williams Talks Plainly on
Subject.

Washington, D. c., March 30, 1908
REPRESENTATIVE John Sharp Williams, mi
1 n5rity leader in the house, said tonight
that he was more hopeful of the ways
and means committee reporting out a
sii!-puttias wood pulp md Print. paper
on the free Est, but whether this is
done or not he is encouraged to believe
that the duty on print paper will be re-
Iuced to nominal rate.
\"If the Republican party in this con.
erNss fails to remove the duty from
wood pulp ana print paper" continued
MIR. Williams, "it win Wish .aa.tt y had
never heard Of wood pulp and, print
paper"
Moreover. Mr. Williams declared that
unless the committee on ways and
means reported out this bill he would
tighten the minority's flibuster by re-
quiring roll call on all affirmative leg
islation. He has already served notice
on the majority that no more unanimous
consents will be allowed until certain
bills are reported to the house, and the
effect of this announcement is notice.
able.
One reason for Mr.. Williams added
hopes for bill putting wood pulp and
print paper on the free list is the grad
ual shifting of Speaker Cannon from
"stand-patism" to a revision Of the
Dingley schedules. There is, however,
no evidence Of relaxation on the part of
Mr.. Payne, chairman of the ways and
means committee, and Mr.. DaIzell, his
first lieutenant, in the fight for no in
reference with the tariff rates until
some future time.
Agitation for the removal Of the duty
on wood pulp and print paper has estab-
|ished the fact that il such bill were
to the house it would pass
without material opposition. Mr.. Will
iams is Of the opinion that less than
lozen Republicans would fail to sup
port it.
