Knapp, Mr. Langworthy was called to the Chair. The retiring President, W.Leroy MacGowan, then read his address on "Sources of Energy." Sources of Energy. By W. LeRoy MacGowan Address of the President of the Warren Academy of Sciences at the Eighth Annual Meeting, October 20, 1911. In my paper tonight I shall first touch upon a few notions of modem scientists regarding the now available sources of energy, tome of which are eternal in their potency; others doomed in time to pass away and become a matter of ancient history. In a paper of this nature I cannot treat the matter exhaustively, - nay, I am not capable, if I chose, to do so. I shall merely try to indicate in a general way the trend of science in its search for cheap, economical sources of power, and point out some of the means which science will in future be forced to utilize as sources of energy - forced to use them for at least two reasons: first, because they will prove more efficient and economical, producing higher percent of work from the total energy applied, second because the world´s failing supply of fuel will render such economy an absolute necessity.
