"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." During the net hundred years, pre- dicts the Earl, applied physics will de- velop wireless telephony and television beyond our present moat imaginative expectations, By 2029 it should be possible, he says, for any person sit- ting at home to be "present" at no 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 las speech, its will could be ascertain- ed and announced. We read further: "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- culosis.

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.

Telephone engineers de- clare that the new system has practi- cally eliminated• the phrase "wrong number-" from central's vocabulary. 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.
