Morley Fletcher, an nssociate member of the British Institute of Ci- I vil Engineers, has been engaged for‘ some time in carrying on experiments in England looking to the utilization of the force developed by the rise and i fall of the waves of the sea. Many at- t tempts have been made to use this en- ‘ i \ I gormous power for mechanical purposes, t . , . . . 'and it has been estimated that a very small fraction of the energy develop- ed in the sea by the "winds would suf- fice for all human needs. MI. Fletch- er has succeeded in making an expe-r-i imental machine which promises to be of real utility for many purposes. The machine is simply a pump ar- ranged in an ingenious manner, so that the waves shall work it up and down, and the force of. the stream of water thus propelled may be used either di- rectly for operating engines or be car- ried to reservoirs and used from these for producing energy.
