any efficacious results.

The growth of the population, in geometrical progression, tends to place the accent
definitely on the LA of the lateral octave.

But it is necessary to insist on another point. Man disposes of a keyboard of energies

which has expanded considerably during the contemporary period and at a pace which

follows a geometrical progression also. The classification of natural resources should be
enlarged very soon, to include energies tapped directly from the atmosphere or even

from beyond. Positive science puts many methods at man's disposal which widen his

field of activity prodigiously. Because of the progress made in electronics, he disposes

now, not only of natural tools and machines, but of "intellectual" tools as well. The exact
scope of these means is still incalculable where the power of the transmitting-station is

concerned.

When we consider man's role from this angle, we must not forget that, apart from

the quantitative element, there exists the element of transformation which plays an
essential role with regard to the quality of energies in their final form. Now, the

multiplication of human activities, ranging from the substratum to space, not only calls

forth new energies but, still more, makes them undergo a transformation which

modifies the quality of the radiations emitted by our planet. We perceive, now, the role
that man plays, indirectly, by taking in charge and manipulating a greater and greater

variety of energies. But one must con-
