GETS POWER FROM AIR
TO OPERATE A MOTOR

Pemeta, Ok, July 17.-Following
the same principles as those in
volved in wireless telegraphy, A.
Bloomfield, an oil district inven-
tor, has discovered a method of
drawing current from the air and
successfully propelling motor
without other power. So success
full has he been in his demonstra-
tions that the federal government
has taken it up and has asked the
inventor to take his model to the
Brooklyn navy yards for a test.
According to Rufus L. Stewart,
editor of the jennings News, who
has witnessed a demonstration of
the new invention, it bids fair to
revolutionize the business world.
According to Stewart, Bloomfield
has accomplished several other sue
cessful inventions in the past, in
Guiding an airship. He holds a
government license as an air pilot.
The model which Bloomfield has
taken to Brooklyn is a small motor
of about one-quarter horse power.
