 Chicago, Feb 15-(UP)-Science is on the verge of unleashing forces capable of lifting mankind to heights beyond the widest dreams of a generation ago, or of plunging hunfanity into an orgy of destruc- ton which migh well depopulate and leave barren the civilized world. Flights into the strato- sphere end constant experiments in laboratories throughout the world are bringing closer each day the time when the mysterious cosmic rays will be harnessed and flood of power released. Cosmic rays may produce a power which can dig a tunnel through a mountain with no more labor than blowing the dust away; those same rays, harnessed to a radio-controlled air plane in the hands of a warning nation, could wipe out armies, cities, industries. There might not even be a person left to sign a peace treaty.
 Already there are in the offing such miracles as airplanes which would never have to land for fuel. High speed automobiles drawing power through the atmosphere, sm okeless cities without an electric wire in sight, and end of disease, coal mines turned into chemical factories, houses and industrial plants with strange-looking Tight ming rods" drawing unlimited pow CT fro mthe stratosphere.
 The world Is huge dynamo, with the earth and its heavy at- mosphere the negative field, the stratosphere the positive filed. In tat outer atmosphere there is kinetic electricity of 200 million ampheres, enough to provide 160 million horsepower for every hu- man being on earth.
 Already an oscillating tube, com parable to the first radio tubes, has been invented to tap this vast source of energy. It must be mere ly matetr of time until the whole

 Radium might supply the actual power for the new world which we now envision. The elements's tre- mendous energy-60,0 ,00e horse power in every pound of the radon gas which is constantly being emit ted from radium-would be re- leased by breaking down the ra- dium atom with the cosmic ray.
 The radium atom could also be broken down with a billion-volt charge of electricity, and the pcssi- biIity of such electrical power is not remote. Science has already created and used five million volts. Science has also gone far enough toward its dream to produce 33 horsepower without using a gen. erator-enough to power an auto mobile. A deposit of radinn1 ore has been discovered at Great Bear lake, under the Arctic Circle, which might supply enough radium to meet every human need.
