One Thousand Ways to Make Money by Page Fox

MONEY IN THE POWERS OF NATURE. Vast Forces yet Unknown--The Human Form a Key to unlock Nature’s Caskets of Gold--The Storage of Air--The Waste of Steam--The March of Electricity--How One Company saved $50 a Day--Sunbeams for Sale--Winds and Waves awaiting Man’s Sail and Wheel--How a Western Man Invented a Sand Mill--Enormous Power of Sea Waves--A New Use for the Artesian Well--Eureka! The Right Kind of a Storage Battery--Opportunities for Enterprise and Wealth. The finding and unlocking of the forces of nature have been sources of some of the world’s largest fortunes. Steam and electricity are to-day among the earth’s greatest contributors to wealth. It is not, however, the simple discovery of a new force, but its ingenious application, that brings financial reward, and there may be a hundred, or even a thousand ways of applying a new power. These powers are perhaps all known at the present time, but many of them are little utilized, and some have never been harnessed. It is probable that we have as yet only begun to unlock the secrets of nature.
