WANTS MAIL EVERY DAY HARVESTING MISSISSIPPI
Power Produced by Current of the
M River to Generate Electricity is
#' Scheme of St. Louis Man.

A St Louis genius has patented a
plan for hrneassing the Mississippi
river and making its current do the
work done by coal converted into
steam.
He would build floats in the shape
OF fumes OF reinforced concrete or
other suitable material If concrete,
these floats would be provided with
air chambers to render them buoyont
and unsuitable. Placed in midstream
the current of the river would flow
through these fume-ike boats and
turn wheels that would communicate
power to motors, which in turn would
generate or collect electricity. This
electricity is TO be used for moving
an endless cable from one float to
another on wheels placed at the ends
of the extreme floats of the series.
AS one side of this endless cable is
moving down stream, the other side
on the opposite side of the anchored
I floats VIII be going up stream, and
boats barges and other craft need
