Radio Power TO Run
Autos, Says Experts.

New York-Having unques-
tionably demonstrated the practi-
cability of transmitting the voice
hundreds of miles through the
air without wires, radio engi-
neers are now turning their at
tention toward solving the pro-
blem of transmitting electrical
power without the use of metallic
connecting mediums.
Should they be successful the
following are possibilities for the
future.
First gigantic radio power sta
tions supplying hundreds Of
thousands of electrical horsepow-
er to machines of industry many
miles away.
Standardization of the use
Of gasoline for automobiles-elec-
trical fuel to be supplied to en-
gines from central stations.
Third-Universal use of cleo
tricity in the place of coal for all
purposes.
The step of sending power by
radio is not nearly so great as
that which first gave the means
of receiving radio impulses, such
as in wireless telegraphy.
Just as roads wear out with
the steady pounding of trucks
and automobiles over their sur
face. so do wires wear out from
the constant friction of electrici-
ty. The Atlantic cable is a case
in point obviously it cannot last
forever.

CHAPTER XVI

Up the James rode Erskine, hiding
in the woods by day and slipping eau
tiously along the sandy road by night,
circling about Tarleton's eampfres,
or dashing at full speed past some
careless sentinel. Often he was fred
at, often chased, but with a clear road
in front of him he had no fear of
capture. On the third morning he
came upon a ragged sentinel-an
American. Ten minutes later he got
his first glimpse of Lafayette, and
then he was hailed joyfully by none
other than Dave Yandell, Capt. Dave
Yandell, shorn of his wOodsman's
dress and panoplied in the trappings
of war.

boy, he wrote, cannot escape me. But

Late in August came the message
that put Washington's great "soul in
arms" Rochambeau had landed six
thousand soldiers in Connecticut, and
now Count de Grasse and a French
feet had sailed for the Chesapeake.
General Washington at once resorted
to camoufage. He laid out camps os-
tentatiously opposite New York and in
plain sight of the enemy. He made a
feigned attack on their posts. Ro-
chambeau moved south and reached
