Charles P. Steinmetz, internationally famous electrical experimentor of the General Electric Company, is on the list of those who will speak before the members of the Engineering Society during the coming year. The Society has definitely abandoned the plan in force in former years of presenting technical papers at its meetings and now has established as its policy that of bringing the leading engineers of the country to Cambridge to speak to all students in the University that are interested whether or not they are members of the engineering school...
Faccioli, the genius of the experiments, is an Italian by birth and training, 46 years old, a resident of America for 20 years. Like Steinmetz, he is a cripple; he moves about the plant in a wheeled chair. Faccioli has a touch of the philosopher as well as the technician...
...proofs are still unconvincing to such a scientist as Steinmetz, who declares: " It is obvious that the alleged manifestations of spiritism must be fake, or self-deception, since they are manifestations of energy." Steinmetz holds the Kantian philosophy, that the noumenal world (of spirit) and the phenomenal world (of matter and energy) are absolutely separate realms of experience. Conan Doyle says that " nothing is as dogmatic as science." He has finished his lectures in New York and will tour the United States showing his "spirit photographs." The "new church" may or may not spring up in his wake...
...Church. Their zealous quotation of the Bible soon made them more dogmatic than Catholics. Even Isaac Newton wrote with unperturbed faith about the miracles in Genesis. But his grand children-in-science, Darwin, Huxley, and historical criticism, hinted that not even the Bible was inerrant, so that now Steinmetz, a Unitarian, is forced to say that religion and science are unrelated...
...have long had the Edison phonograph, the Maxim silencer, the Bell telephone. Now we are to have the Steinmetz truck. Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz, " wizard of Schenectady," has been working for several years to perfect an electrical truck. The product of his efforts has been placed on the market, and full-page advertisements are appearing in the newspapers. They bear a statement over Dr. Steinmetz's signature that the trucks effect a saving of from 25 to 50 per cent over gasoline and horse-drawn vehicles, and a picture of the inventor-perfecto in mouth-covering a quarter...
