A VAST ELECTRIC ORGANISM 13 



throttle, she cleanly and softly touches a tiny button 

 and the miracle is wrought the heavy steed of 

 steel receives its life not from smoking, hissing, 

 fussing steam, but from an energy as silent as 

 light and as potent as Omnipotence. 



This invisible electrical energy, without brush or

 and photographs in every ray of light and on every 

 human eye the moving panorama of every passing

 pass away, the barren rocks will change into most 

 precious things, the sunlight will be converted into 

 reservoirs of power, and every raindrop and water- 

 fall, ocean tide and wind current, will reveal exhaust- 

 less sources of wealth and energy. Then will the
