The Unity and Application of Art 



under pressure from some storage reservoir where it has 

 been chemically treated and the bacteria therein destroyed. 

 It has been Inspected by the health department and Is free 

 from disease germs. Not only Is It fit for the bath but it is 

 satisfactory for cooking and drinking purposes as well. The 

 open well and "The Old Oaken Bucket" have been cast into 

 the discard as a greater safeguard In the Interest of health, 

 but yet, they are beautiful memories. 



As darkness comes on, a button Is pressed and there is 

 Instant light developed In Incandescent light bulbs. It Is 

 energy transported or conducted through wires from some 

 distant plant where the power Is generated. Perhaps this 

 electrical current is generated from the power of falling 

 water and then transferred to the wires that conduct it to 

 the light bulbs where It Is used In creating light. Where an 

 electric current may be had, the grease lamp, tallow candle 

 and the kerosene lamp have disappeared. They have run 

 their course and served well their purpose but as civilization 

 advanced, they have given way to the better, more Instant 

 and convenient uses of electricity. Not only does this energy 

 furnish light but it also furnishes power to run the washing 

 machine, sewing machine, vacuum cleaner, fans, refrigera- 

 tor, radio, stoves and other electrical devices. 



The use of electricity is doubtless in its infancy, but what 

 the future generations may bring forth in the further devel- 

 opment of power that will supplant that now in use, is not 

 given to man to know. It is given to him to uncover the 

 hidden secrets of Nature and to adapt them to his use as he 

 needs them.
