ENERGY OF ATMOS
PROVIDE CHEAP POWER ? j BRUSSELS, Oct. 10. “We have learned to chart uninhabitable space much as ancient mariners learned to chart untravelled. seas,” declares Professor Piccard, regarding his balloon ascents into the stratosphere. “There will be great strides forward in the near future, especially in connection with cheap power, by harnessing the energies of the circumambient atmos molecules. Professor Piccard admits, however, that many more balloon expeditions to higher reaches of the earth’s atmosphere must be made, especially ono in the Polar regions, before the effects of magnetic waves can bo assessed. “Wo are now able to assert that cosmic radiation does not come from ■cosmic space, hut is produced in the uppermost strata of the earth’s atmosphere,” lie says. “The more we learn about these myst-ic-nous rays which beat down from above the more Ave can learn about radio activity, the. composition of the atmos. the nature of energy, and astrophysics.”
