Professor Andrade has recently pointed out that lead wire ‘at a temperature of 268 degrees Centiâ€" ‘grade below zero becomes three milâ€" lion times as good a conductor as copâ€" per. At this temperature, a thousand miles of lead wire would offer no more resistance to electric current than a single inch of copper. Some dayâ€"and it may be very soonâ€"we shall find how to make an alloy that is a perfect conductor at ordinary temperatures, Then electricity will indeed be harâ€" nessed, Another discovery waiting to be made is a method of using the real power of water. We can use now a "head" of water to drive a turbine or a waterâ€"wheel, or by heating water until it becomes steam we make it drive huge engines. _ But neither f these methods enables us to employ more than a fraction of the power that is actually there. Yet water containe the ingredients of a fuel that might re place petrol. It is a combination o iwo gases, oxygen and hydrogen, which when mixed in certain proporâ€" tions, can form an explosive. No economical method of obtaining these gases from water is yet known, but it will come,. We often speak of the wondrful way in which man has harnessed clec tricity. It is true that electricity perâ€" forms mighty tasks for us, but it is still doing only a fraction of what it could do and will do some day. . We still waste an enormous proportion of its energy. Do you realize that less than oneâ€"thousandth part of the energy delivered by your wireless set to its loudspeaker is doing useful work* You waste current every time you switch on the electric light or even a pocket flashlamp, for up to now we have disâ€" covered no way of making electricity produce light without heat.
