Electric Power Arose
Like the Genius from
the Bottle.

And vet, until the end of the
nineteenth century. man continued
to take, tinorously, a very little Of
the energy Of the rivers through
his pitiful water-wheels, while the
great streams, capable of driving
all the machinery of the world, and
more, went laughing and rollicking
on their way, playfully scattering
their power TO the winds.
But at last came the dynamo
and the great dams and all the ma.
chinery for the Transformation OF
energy, and then Electric Power
arose spectacularly like the genius
from the fisherman's bottle, and
bowed itself to the earth before its
little discoverer, and said BE.
hold! ] am the servant of your
brain. ] have thousand arms
and a hundred DISCUSSES, and /
can seize the energy of the rivers,
and carry it away, and make it
work where you will and what YOU
will"
We all know that this is no fairy
tale or Arabian Nights adventure.
but one Of the great facts and
truths of our time. And even if
the age that Immediately succeeds
us should far surpass all that we
have done, we may still feel conf.
dent that history will never forget
the century in which man first
learned to chain the power of the
rivers.

challenged him to a duel for the

ordered "a royal sitting" OF all
the orders, before which he would
tell them a thing or two, in plain
French.
On the morning OF the 23d the
sitting awaited his majesty in the
Church of st. Louis. The King
entered. He was saluted only by
the nobility and a portion Of the
clergy The Third Estate sat in

The King began reading The
Declaration Concerning the Pres

eral in which he announced his
intention to maintain the sepa-
rate deliberations Of the orders
unless the Third Estate should
come to his terms. Then, midst
the blare of trumpets and the

How the Sun Lifts" the
Ocean Water Up to
Form Clouds.

In a short time there will be
hardly a great river in the world
that has not been enslaved to
mans mightiest and most versa
tile servant, Electric Power, the
only power that carries itself from
place to place, wherever its master
bids it go, and turns itself from one
form to another at his will.
This power has its birth in the
sun, and gravitation is it's foster
parent, so that the sun and the
earth work in a yoke to serve the
needs of their diminutive task
maker, Man.
The sun begins by evaporating
the waters of the ocean and send
ing them up in the air to form
clouds The clouds condense into
rain on the hills and mountains,
and thus fill the springs and
streams, The streams unite to
form rivers. The water of the riv-
ers, drawn down by the gravitation
Of the earth, hurries oceanward
through the valleys and leaps roar.
ing down the rapids and over the
precipices. Every step of its down
ward progress means expenditure
of the energy which the sun put
into it when it lifted it, in the
form Of invisible mist. to the
mountain tops.
Until our late day this wasted
energy Of the rivers was only occa-
sional!y utilized to drive the water
wheels of a few saw or grist mills.
Then, but few years ago. came
the discovery of the mechanical
power Of lectricity-and how
swiftly We have availed ourselves
of 1t! We were long time about
it, but at last we have discerned
the possibilities of this wonderful
combination of sun and earth en-
ergy and turned them to account.
The Earth Takes Hold to
Perform It's Part in
the Task.
Let us look at it a little more

is due to the descent of their
