THOUGHT WILL RULE WORLD
Scientist Asserts Ships at Sea Will BE
Controlled From Shore and Gasoline
Will Be Grown Like Corn.

In the lobby of big Fifth avenue
club one evening recently. a group Of
scientific men were discussing the war
as being the necessity that will bring
about some startling inventions, notes
q New York correspondent. If the
sprinkling Of intellectual luminati
were not stamped by genius. II is prob
able that an ordinary bystander would
have tapped his forehead knowingly.
One Of them was telling about a sci
enlist who Us already telephoning to
aIrplanes without wires. And another
quoted a famous inventor who said
that 1t would only be a short while
until all telephone wires would be abol-
ished as unessential.
'The fact is" he said, shat tele-
phone wires do not in reality carry
our messages. Every scientist knows
that. Back OF 1t all Is the great proc
ess Of thought which we are only be-
ginning feebly to understand.
"The more we delve into this proc
ess Of thought-whatever it is-the
more we come to the conclusion that
the material phenomena is the pro.
lection Of thought. We konw that ev-
cry material thing comes from
thought or an idea.
I'VE are arriving at the conclusion
that even space is thought. for we are
annihiIating space every day through
a thinking process. 1t will not be
many generations before every ship ut
sea is controlled by thought from
shore. Our trains are going to be run
without fuel, and we are going to grow
gasoline just like we raise corn"
