Water and highway trans portation, as well as railways, even tually may depend upon electricity for motive power because of Its greater economy and efficiency, according to lr. Charles P. Steinmets, the "wiiard of electricity. , The famous Inventor called atten tion, in an interview with the United I'tess, to the success of the electric drive on American warships and the fact that this method of propulsion Is being extended to merchant craft. As regards automobiles, he said: "When the gasoline engine was first used for automobiles people protesteo they would never come into general use because the fuel was not readily obtnlnnble. This difficulty was over come by the simple process of produc ing more gasoline and establishing sup plies I" every part of the country. The use of electric automobiles for touring will grow In just the ratio that facili ties for recharging storage batteries are extended." The use of electric engines for air planes will never-tiecome feasible, be cause of the prohibitive weight of the batteries, considering their power as compared with the power of gasoline engines of corresponding weignt, ne said. Ir. steinmetz declared that water- power could never completely replace coal and petroleum products for gen erating electricity, saying that every drop of rain which falls in the United Slates in a year could I trans mined directly into power it could n.ot reolnce our present coal consumption. He similarly characterized the use of the sun's rays, tides and the wind for solution of our power problems under present conditions as "dreams, ' con;, tending that the expense of harnessing these elements would far outweigh the value of tho power derived. Communication with other plan ets by radio was said by Dr. Steln mrnts to be "possible but not prob able." Ho said a plant of only 100, 000 horsepower might be sufficient to sent an elcctrto wave to Mars, but that the establishment of actual communis cation would depend not only upon the Martians having Instruments to record the waves, but on their being Martians, "We are still very' limited In the art of harnessing energy," he said. "Our use of coal and other fuel In extremely wasteful. .'. Our progress In this dlrac tltm has raised mankind from being machines to Mnr machine tenders. Wo have undergone a corresponding mental growth. What we need we will make. Our-only limitations are the laws of nature. "No one can see Into the future. But, Judging from our re markable mechanical advance In ths last century. It seems certain that the time will soon come when every house hold In every civilized community win enjoy tho benefits that can only come from electricity." - . - - " ' Anything Ilut Poor Patience Ever hear him inf Patrice Indeed, I have.
