the intelligent farmer may till the soil
Of thousand acres in day, while his

daily may be produced ten thousand
tunes minute, on little scraps of
pastbourd, by improved photography,
aud boys may sell the news of the
world printed on visiting cards,
which their customers will read
through artificial eyes. Five hun
dred years hence q musician may
play q piano in New York connected |
with instruments in San Francisco,
Chicago, New Orleans and other |
cities, which will be listened to by |
half million people. A speech de-
iivered in New York will be heard |

" ln the year 1900 man may put
on his inflated ovelcoat, with pair
OF light steariug wings fastened to
his arms, and 60 to Newark and
back IN an hour. All the great bat
ties will be fought in the air. Patent
thunderbolts will be used instead of
canDons. A boy in Hoboken will go
to Canada in The family carriage to
see his sweetheart, and the next day
his father will chastise him with q
magnetic rebuk+r bacase he did not
return before midnight. The time
is coming when the Herald will send
q reporter to see man reduce one
of the Rocky Mountains to powder
in half day. Skilled mirers will
extract gold from quartz as easily as
cider is squeezed from apples. A
compound telescope will be invented
on entirely new principles, so that
one may see the planets as DISTINCT
~ as we now see Staten Island.
Microscopes will be mode so power
erful that a particle of dust on o
gnat's back will appear larger than
Pixies Peak. And marvellous prog
ress will be made in psychological
and mental sciences. Two men will
sit in baths filled with chemical
liquids. One of them may be in
Denver aud the other in Montreal.
A pipe filed with the same liquid
will connect the two vessels, and the
fluid will be so sensitive that each
man may know the others thoughts.
In these coming days, our present
mode Of telegraphing will be classed
with the wooden plows of Egypt,
and people will look back to steam
boats and locomotives as we look
back to sailbOats and stage coaches.
