HARVESTING MISSISSIPPI
Power Produced by Current Of the
.3 River to Generate Electricity is
@ts Scheme Of St. Louis Man.

A st. Louis genius has patented
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 shane
OF fumes Of reinforced concrete or
other suitable material. II 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 fiume-Gike boats and
turn wheels that would communicate
mower 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 tie opposite side of the anchored
! floats, will be going up stream, and
. boats barges and other craft need
only hook on TO this cable to be
towed in any direction.
Enough surplus electricity will be
generated to furnish municipal and
other lighting and power to run
Irars, factories and other things along
the way.
II is figured that the cost from ST.
Louis to New Orleans will about equal
the cost of aatlouble track railroad the
same distance, while the cost of oper
i alton would be much les and repairs
and betterments neglible
| 1T Is also figured that the freight
traffic at 20 cents a ton added to the
revenues derived from the sale of
, electricity to riparian cities would pay
/ for the entire plant in to years.
This proposition is big enough for
dream. but all big things were once
dreams, says the News Scimitar. The
American people are accustomed to
handling big things
