explanation
In order to operate this Elec-
trio Scintillator as we are going

Kilowatt, I'VE are going to have
a locomotive on the end of pier
in about the middle of the yacht
Harbor. This locomotive will be
the very latest type and will
weigh two hundred and twenty
tons. 1t will be driven on spe-
cially constructed water brakes
at the rate of from sixty to sew
enty miles an hour, developing
about two thousand horsepower.
1t probably goes without my say
ing that this will generate an
enormous amount of smoke and
steam. Now just beyond the en-
gine will be a battery of search

attendance of sixty men to op-
crate and will have a candle-
power OF over two billion six
hundred million. What this bat
terry of searchlights, with it's
myriads of color, will be able to
accomplish by following the
smoke and steam wherever the
wind cares to take them, is be-
yond my power of description.
You see, we use the smoke for
shade and the steam for tints,
and both for a confusion of color
