FRENCH SCIENTIST
! REPORTS SUCCESS
Prof. Claude Turns Turbines
With Power From
Gulf Stream.


HAVANA, October 3.-Prof. Georges
Claude yesterday started up for the
first time the turbines in his laboratory
for the production Of cheap industrial
power from the waters OF the Gull
Stream.
In a telegram to the Associated Press
he pronounced the results satisfactory
for a first experiment"
At 1000 revolutions per minute the
turbines generated 10 kilowatts OF
power. However, more than the amount
Of power produced had been used in
getting the machinery under way.
The turbines were started at o'clock

the French scientist on Matanzas Bay,
where he has been quietly working on
his experiment. He hopes to utilize the
thermal differences between surface

exposing surface water to vacuum,
