They are as follows: (1) I a very young girl and ' havent nan much experience.

Am I not right in net accepting presents? (2) What is a nice design for a shoulder throw? I hopeZ I am not too much bother for you. remain, SHOWERS, from Utah.

If you are old enough te have beaux at all, it is proper to acoept such presents as candy, books, or flowers from them, but you are quit right in not accepting expensive and valuable gifts from young men. Your sister is no doubt much older than you and better understands under what clr- cumstances and from whom to accept presents. Never mind, dearie, just continue to be sweet and live up to your Ideals and in a few more years you will be just as .popular as sister, I am sure.

Stelnmetz os the general subject of sctfntlflc Inventions of the future and the eco nomic civilization of the world a hundred years froijj now Is a whole volume of prophecy In It- V yy self. Ai,d Stelnmetz, In the role of prophet Is even inor i Interesting than in part of electrical wizard. For he Is no dreamer like Edward Bellamy, nor Is he a like H. G. Wells. On the cond scientist and trary, he Is a electrical engineer, whose motto Is whose name Is joined In "efficiency, the scientific with those of Edison and Marc h Stelnmetz elimination of Impossible from ehe vocabulary of the scientist Is startling, because It practically says that phenomenal expansion of the use of electrical current in the last generation is only a start. For example : Edison was the guest .of honor at a recent banquet in New (York In celebration of electricitys fortieth year In the commercial field. By way of an object lesson Edisons first commercial .electric Incandescent light was lighted. It was of fifteen candle power. . Then Edisons latest ;)amp development of 60,000 candle power was turned on. During the banquet It was Incidentally stated that .In New York state alone $154,830,000 Is Invested In Edison Interests, as compared to jhe original capital of this well-know- n hard-boile- $78,000. - ' In brief, the first central generating station in this country forty years ago had a capacity of 600 kilowatts, 60 customers, and a maximum transmission of twelve miles. There are now approximately 6,000 plants, generating 14,000,000 kilowatts and serving direct customers, with a transmission of 250 miles, Bflt this electrical expansion Is only ,a straw showing what way the wind blows. If you are more than fifty years of age you were born in a differ-,en- t world from this. I myself was out of college when I used the first telephone installed in a residence In Chicago and heard the first conversation between New York and Chicago. I saw the first motion picture thrown on the screen, I rode In one of the first automobiles, and there are the airplane, wireless, phonograph. radium, and so on. In less than a lifetime Americans have built up the greatest mechanical nation on earth. It was once thought that with the close of the Nineteenth century there was nothing left to Invent. Now we know that our knowledge of natural forces was crudely elementary. Now we know enough to understand that the age of scientific marvels has just arrived. The man born now will at fifty be living it a world as different from this as this is different from the world Into which his father was born. An Amenn clearing house of all the sciences Is the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Its existence means that today the accumulated fund of scientific knowledge Is so vast that research Is no basis, longer possible on a one-maamong many and. that workers Is of necessity the motto of not only among the day different branches of the same science, but among different sciences. Science now recognizes as the greatest single work being done today the Investigation of the structure and nature of matter. It pools the Interests of the physicist, chemist and astronomer so completely that It has been set apart under the specific name of atomic physics as a common meeting ground of these sciences. contains things Atomic physics hard for Mr. Everyman to understand. But this may IfwSald: There used to be eighty or ninety elements, each composed of atoms different from those In the other elements Now we have decided that there are Just two ultimate particles,, the electron and the proton, and that matter consists of these two, grouped in Various ways and numbers to form the various atoms In short, the different elements. Instead of being fundamentally different, tire fundamentally bealike, the difference among them of and arrangement number In the ing the electrons and protons In their atoms. These electrons and protons . . are Incredibly minute. , ' These electrons and protons have been found to be the fundamental units of both matter and electricity. Grouped, at rest an dstable they are matter. Free and ungrouped they are static charges of electricity. Thus matter and electricity are one and the same thing, In different forms and under different conditions.. . Over this discovery there Is great excitement in the scientific world. The scientists hold that In atomic physics They Is the future of civilization. hope to disrupt the atom with large conversion into free energy. They say that a pint of water, on this basis, contains enough energy to drive the Leviathan across the Atlantic at full speed. So, when the coal and the oil are used' up we shall have a new energy to keep us going, and to perform new wonders for us. a being Stelnmetz, scientist, makes most of bis predictions along less sensational lines. He says it Is a crime to burn coal for heat without saving Its mechanical and electrical energy, and that soon all coal will be burned at the mouth of the mine, and Its energy transmitted In the shape of electricity. The same Is true of oil and gas.- - So, also, we have scarcely'- begun to utilize our n hard-boile- d toe-four- th and no conflagrations. The heating and cooling and ventilation of buildings will be done automatically by elec: tricity, he says. Means may, and perhaps will, ba developed, he says, to send out energy broadcast by wireless, just as we now broadcast speeofciaqo pick up this energy anywhere, This will be dependent on our ability to prevent waste of the energy when not' being used. At present, radio waves are absorbed In space as they travel outward from the generating source. Electricity Is always at our service at the end of a wire. The generating apparatus keeps on going, but the current Is not used until the consumer closes the switch. The energy, however, Is not wasted. Once we are able to work out a similar, system for wireless we can have broadcasting stations., constantly supplying energy, for every need, ready to be picked up as occasion requires It Now as to atomic energy. I may disagree with the form of the present theories, but the underlying fact of the great store of atomic energy of radioactive substances Is undeniable. Were we able and If we shall be able to harness this energy, we should have a force beyond anything known before In terms of power.,; Now; the discovery of how to utilize this energy may come at almost any time, or it may never come If there are Inherent reasons why the energy can be given off only at one definite rate, never faster or slower, But dont think for. a moment that Stelnmetz, just because he prophesies along readily understandable lines, has no Imagination. The other day. In a public address In New York, he made a prophecy like this: The future of the human race rests with the biological engineer, who may enable the world to support many times Its' present population by producing energy corps after coal gives out, mid by feeding the human 'race drectly on nitrogen-fixin- g i micro-organism- ; . The bacteria and other microscopical plants and animals take the nitrogen from the air and hand It over to plants, which hand it over to cattle or furnish it directly to man In the c form of seeds. There Is tremendous power. I can see, .says Stelnmetz, the waste in each of these steps. It may whole, country using electric energy be possible for the biological,- ensupplied to it by a network of Inter- gineer, he said, to cross nnd recross connected generating stations like a bacteria and other nitrogen producers railroad system, so that the widest until he has produced a 'Strain which possible economic distribution may be may be used directly as food. And with this prophecy from Stein-metobtained. who can doubt that a new age Then, when everything Is electrified there will be no smoke In the cities. of marvels is upon us? - hydro-electri- densest population In the world.
