LONDON, Jan. 19—Sir Oliver
Lodgg told the Royal Society of Artg
recently that if men were capable of
harnegging all the atomic energy in a
srna u piece 0 f c halk, or any other
matter of a similar size, they would
; have enough power to raise 100,000
tons to a height of $3,000 feet.

not succeeded in making use of that
Power but they were on the verge of
doing it. In the wireless telephone
