Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 222, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 October 1917 — Modem Aladdin’s Lamp. [ARTICLE]

Modem Aladdin’s Lamp.

‘ Aladdin’s lamp wasn’t a public utility. Electricity, the servant of everyone who pushes the button, eclipses Aladdin’s lamp as the sun eclipses a mqf-ph, says the Louisville CourierJournal. Electricity Is a Jinn, as powerful as that which awaited the call of Aladdin. It serves Individuals, science, Industries, cities, countries. The all powerful Jinn of the twentieth century Is at call upon the plunging steamer In the midst of the blackest storm upon the bosom of the heaving ocean, beyond the equator or at the Arctic circle. Electricity propels the submarine. It is the life spark of the airplane. It draws the coal and iron from the mountain’s heart and performs Innumerable magical feats of strength and intelligence undreamed of by Aladdin.
