production of electricity by which the entire northern hemisphere of our earth may be lighted 1 desire to give my views to the woild because iTim poor and not able to bear the heavy ex I en of putting the same in operation There must be a point at the north pole which moves around without advancing At this point I would place a huge iron post in the earth and erect upon it a great magnetic needle about a mile long Through a round hole in the middle of this needle a pivot would extend up from the post far enough through the needle to form an axle for a large cog wheel Electric generators placed on the needle would be geared to the cog wheel As the needle would remain stationary the ma chinery would he run by the motion of the earth The electricity would be' conveyed through great wire cables laid down each de gree of longitude infcglass lubes (I object to overhead wires) Thu earth would give us unlimited power This subject ought to increase the interest in the whereabouts of the north
