An Electricians Prophecy.

The wise man will hesitate before he
expresses incredibly at any predic-
tons which scientists make. When We
consider the many great changes in
the methods and modes of life during
the 10Th century almost nothing seems
impossible along scientific lines during
the century upon which we have just
entered. In an address in New York
this week before a gathering of
electrical experts DIR. Charles p
Steinmetz of Schenectady, New York.
consulting engineer of the General
Electric Company and regarded as one
of the leading men of his profession in
phecics as to the part which electricity
will play in the worlds near future
The world is already worrying over
the exhaustion of the great storehouses
of energy which it has hitherto relied
upon for heat, light and power and
however we'll supplied the present
genera ton may be there will soon be
generation which will have little if any
coal, oil, wood and natural gas to be
used in prodigal and wasteful fashion
The time is within sight when water
power and the direct rays of the sun
will be all we have left-unless. of
course, some lucky prospector discov-
ers a new lot of radium mines. When
this epoch arrives electricity will be
the master mover. Heat, light, power
even agriculture Through electrically
manufactured fertilizers) will be absO
lutely dependent upon supply of this
curious fluid. or disturbance in the
ether. whose real character is still a
mystery. Then every watercourse from
the springs to the sea will become
series of ponds. each with its power
plant Rushing cataracts, picturesque
rapids, etc, will disappear, and every
drop of water which the clouds carry
up into the mountains will be passed
return journey to the sea.
Regarding the direct use of the suns
rays. Dr. Steinmetz was less specific
Some way may be devised for collect
ing and storing the superfluous sum-
mer heat, in the form possibly of
electricity, and then releasing it during
the winter months. 1t is perhaps too
much to hope that the winter outdoor
climate of New England, for instance
could be softened into comfortable fall
weather through December, January
and February This, of course, would
be the ideal solution of the problem
and if all the heat Old Sol wastes dur
ing the sweltering days of July and
August could be bottled up for winter
use a great Improvement in summer as
we'll as winter weather might be real
lied
AS to the details regarding these
wonders of the future however, eX-
perts will certainly differ. The cleo
trical age may be replaced by radium
age. or by one named for a still more
remarkable and as yet undiscovered
source of energy. But is does seem
reasonably certain that the 1905 man.

IMPORTANCE OF TECHNICAL ED
UCATION.

A problem which parents would do
well to think of during the vacation
season is that of education. What
shall we do with our boys and girls?
The tendency of the times is for
technical education. The practical is
the order of the day. Boys and girls
are coming more and more to be
trained to answer the question which
the world asks of every man and wo-
man who has a living to make, What
can you do?"
OF course the time will never come
when accomplishments, will be under
valued and liberal education consid-
cred of no worth Civilization and
culture with progressive races move
forward and not backward. The class
les, music, art, and all that instructs,
elevates and broadens the spirit of
man, are, and will remain of inesti-
mable value. But what, the present
age lays emphasis ON, and prepeFFlls S;
is the need of the education that
helps the student to do necessary
things that the world of business and
industry want done and are willing to
pay to have done.
In recent article Mr.. Frederick F.
Haskin states that our nation will
advance toward paternalism in educa-
tional matters of which it does not
dream these days" The statesmen
of the future, he declares, will recog
nize the necessity to the nation of
industrial education and will widely
distribute the opportunities for acquir-
ing it.
