PLAN TO HARNESS GULF STREAM’S ENERGY FAILS.
(United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) NEW YORK,* June 26. A message from Havana, Cuba, states that the giant steel tube with which Professos Georges Claude, a French scientist planned to endeavour to harness the Gulf Stream to obtain electrical energy, collapsed and fell into the ocean when the steel cables supporting it snapped like threads. The scientist saw the result of three months’ hard labour and infinite pains demolished. American capital totalling 150,000,000 dollars was invested in the project.
