SEEKING NEW POWER
That power engineers- are beginning to give thought to the sources of power to which future generations must, look is evidenced by papers which were presented at the recent World Peace Conference in Tokio. Among those were extensive pepars on such power sources as the wind, tidal and wave effects, and on the use of volcanic poer. All those power sources, in so far as large-scale practical results are concerned, have long been considered as hopeless by the best engineers. This view is rapidly changing and the most farsighted of those in the profession are beginning to consider such things. It is granted, of course, that the power is there. Just as it. is for example in the sun's light. The problem is purely one of a method of collection and storage. This hardly seems too 'much of a problem for those brains which have given us many other miracles during the last half century.
