telephones, and all the Many other
practical uses of electrical energy, will
certainly make prodigious advances be-
floe the year 2029.
"The best scientific opinion believes
that before 2029 physicists will have.
solved the problem of supplying the
world with limitless amounts of cheap
power. At present we derive the
energy which drives the wheels of
industry' from coaland oil. Both these
substances are won from nature at
the expense of ranch money and vast
stores of muscular- energy,, nor are
their supplies inexhaustible. A pound
ca coal can only be made to yield one
horsepower for one hour.
"Yet, locked up in the atoms which
constitute a' pound of water, there is
ten million horse -power hours. There
is no question that this colossal source
of energy exists; but as yet physicists
do not know how to release it; or,
havingdone so, how to make it per-
form useful work.
"This problem will be solved before
'2029: Some investigator, at present in
his cradle• or unborn, will discover the
match with which to light this bon-
fire, or the detonator needful to cause
this terrific explosion.
"The consequences: of tapping such
stupendous r rurces of cheap energy:
are almost illimitable. For the first
time in his history, man vil' be armed
with sufficient pe der to undertake
operations on . cosmic scale It will
be open to him radically to alter the
geography or the climate of the world.
By utilizing some 50,000tons of
water, hte amount displaced by a large
Baler, it would be possible to remove
Irsland to the deeper portion of the
Atlantic Ocean. The heat obtainable
from the same 'quantity of water
would suffice to maintain the polar
regions at the temperature of the
Sahara Mr a thousand years.
"The liberation of this energy na-
turally will •rev.utionize travel and
transport, Concerning the nature of
the vehicles it is rash to prophesy,.
Passengers will travel in .enormously
swift airplanes which willascend and
.descend vertically. Goods will be car-
ried cheaply and rapidly by land or
sea, propelled by motors whose fi.el
bill will be almost nil."
But if this source of energy is not
tapped by 2029, we need not worry;
others are available. ' As we are re -
Minded r
"Sone authoritative scientists do
not believe that' the solution of the
power problem will be reached along
tires lines. They consider that either
the winds or the tides will he forced
to yield up their energy. Water -power
is too unevenly distributed ever the
earth's surface, and to much affected
by seasonal variations, ever to become
'theprincipal source of the world's
energy; but the winds are sever still,
and the tides flow and ebbwith un-
varying precision.
"If the winds were harnessed they
could produce a siperabundance of
cheap wore. During storm -7 weather
their surplus energy could be stored
in a variety of ways and so be avail-
able during calms.
"The exploitation of tkal energy
presents difficulties which have yet to
be solved in a satisfactory manner.
These difficulties, however,•. are not
those of principle but of technique;
and if the wealth and the serious en-
gineering attention of the world were
focussed on the question for ten years,
there is no doubt that they would be
overcome. The tides of the Bay of
Fundy alone could supply the whole
of North America with electrical
energy."

beyond our present moat imaginative
expectations, By 2029 it should be
possible, he says, for any person sit-

matter what distant event. Such de-
velopments must influence the future
of politics. By 2029 the spokesman of
each party will be able'tc address
every voter as effectively as he now
can address a legislative body, we are
assured, and so the electorate itself,
rather than its representatives, may
decide each political issue, Within
twenty minutes from the end of the

"And developments in physics and
chemistry which reasonably may be.
predicted to aceur before 2029. do no
more than alter the accidentals of hu-
man existence. In biology, however,
developments may be predicted which
will change the whole natural life as
we experience it toddy. The abolition
of epidemic c:isease by 2029 is fairly
certain, as Is the discovery of cures for
such scourges as cancer and tuber-

pecially is this true of Eric, the Eng
lash gentleman who looks like ;a suit

ed. Televox, who, grew un and learned
his tricks in the Westinghouse labora-
tory, will even talk, while his unit
and legs respond instantly to the
proper bidding.
Offstage they appear in a different
guise. In his "working clothes" Tele -
vox is no more imposing than an
ordinary radio set. iron Mike, who
steers a shipat sea with greater ac-
curacy than any helmsman who ever
stood a watch at the wheel, is dis-
closed as a glorified gyroscope. Thus
one, perceives that the business of
dressing up machiner3 to resemble
men as merely the inventors' joke.
The important thing is the constantly
increasing range of 'le tasks which
this "selective purpose" machinery is
capable of accomplishing.
The man in need of a shave may
scoff at the idea of intrusting his
whiskers to a mechanical barber,
even though he knows that the robot
will not talk. But it brings an en-
tirely different appreciation of prop
rets in his field to see the British
battleship Centurion sailing an intri-
cate zigzag course with its band play-
ing all the while, although there is
not a single person an board. This
robot of the sea is controlled by radio
from vessels several miles distant.
In many cities a mechanical "hello
girl" is at the beck and call of tele-
phone subscribers. The country is
rapidly becoming familiar with the
dial apparatus which, with a few
-quick turns, selects the desired num-
ber from the thousands listed in the
directory. Telephone engineers de-
clare that the new system has practi-
cally eliminated• the phrase "wrong

So the robot is learning to tell ripe
oranges from green ones, to put white
beans in one pile and black beans in
another, to operate electric substa-
tions, to watch the water -level in res-
ervoirs, and to pilot airplanes. Eric

even by their investors, really to re-
