S. next week as planned, Union Carbide & Carbon Co. last week shipped several tank cars of a new fuel gas to Lakehurst. The German dirigible in its flight to the U.

...experiment several methods work successfully to produce electricity other than by fuel or waterfall. Rising and falling tides contain huge power; hence a project is under way for dams and spillways where Maine and New Brunswick meet at Passamaquoddy Bay. The sun pours billions of heat units upon the earth; hence an experimental sun engine at Mount Wilson Observatory. Volcanic regions are hot just below the ground surface; hence on the west U. S. Coast and in Italy pipes are driven down, water poured into them, useful steam taken out. The surface of tropical waters is, much warmer than...
