Eminent Astronomer and Author
ity ON Subjects of Scientific
Interest.
EkTWILL not be so rash as to
suggest that a tin Lizzie
ever will give milk, but
will predict that some day power
for the farm, which now consti-
tItes a chief item of expense, will
be obtained cheaply from the
winds that blow over the farm.
And with this cheap power l pre-
DICT that some day we will pro-
duce the best of building mate
rails, at lowest cost, from almost
any soil. II may be aluminium"
This stimulating prediction
comes from President r. A. Pear
son, of the Iowa State College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts.
Living in an atmosphere filled
with radiant music, speech, song,
wit and wisdom, which one has
only to tap, and so draw off what
ever he likes to suit his ears and
accord with his mood, we are
estopped from denying the possi-
bility of almost any imaginable
future triumph of human science
and ingenuity. II we can draw
music from the air why not power?
All vibration is incipient power.
So confused do the non-prOgres-
sives now find themselves in the
midst of the breathless advance,
that some timid souls are actually
alarmed lest the atmosphere be
fired or the globe wrecked! They
are like people who, having fallen
asleep in an old-fashioned, COM
Portable, jogging calash, drawn by
q lazy horse, suddenly awake to
find themselves shooting through
the landscape at so miles an hour
in a glittering limousine. But,
those who not only ride, but drive,
are not afraid; or If they are they
must quit driving.
Every one of our modern scien-
tific miracles is based upon the
development of some age old
idea, or practice. Analyze any
one OF them and you will find
that this is so. Centuries roll on
and the improvements made are
almost imperceptible; then. sud
denly, there comes great, a
wonderful leap upward and for
ward.
When President Pearson pre-
diets the future derivation of
enough power from the winds
blowing over the farm to supply
the energies needed to run the
farm, and, in addition, to manu-
facture the best of building ma
terial, at the lowest cost, from
fha soil itself ha ia thinking ~
what may be developed out of
material that from time imme-
mortal has been at mans disposi-
tion, and which in the crudest OF
ways he has long employed. But

new utilization OF the energy OF
the winds from that whkh the
windmill has furnished during
untold centuries.
The research worker is a
miner, but a willing and eager
one. He labors apart, in an at
mosphere and amid surroundings
that other people could not en-
dure. But there is for him so
great a fascination in the mere
sight and handling OF the treas
ures and gems he unearths that
he is not affected by his loneli-
ness,
Relatively few, however, pro-
duce anything that proves event
ually of much value. There, is
vast waste in the process. This
arises in part from the customs
at universities in rewarding ele-
mentary research work with the
degree" of Ph.D., which is GER
tainly not a selective process for

who have been personally en-
gagged in this system ii appears
that by far the larger nur.~N<
"thoses" submitted by the sung
researchers have practically no
value, although accepted as quid
pro quo in exchange for the
coveted title of doctor"
The theory Of the universities
is that by this method the ranks
of research may be kept filled,
even though II be foreseen that
the majority will fall by the way
side, never contributing an iota to
the fund of real research, or. II
they continue to work, will produce
nothing OF real value. Fortunate
ly, however, genius does not re-
quire artificial stimulation, and
whenever the discovery needed to
realize President Pearson's proph-
eCy about the winds shall be made,

will be traceable to some devoted
worker who never thought Of any
other reward than the success of
his efforts, or needed any other
stimulus than that of his own in.
