Of hair is of a curly type. doubtless
from the amount of negro blood which
has been absorbed by the Circassians-
the only remaining type, or, rather, the
residuum OF humanity. As to tooth
brushes, there are no teeth to clean, as,
! the necessity of them having ceased,
the gums have grown out to cover the
space they formerly occupied in the
| mouth. AS far as mirrors are con-
cerned, the walls, being highly bur-
| nished, answer that purpose, and the
| compressed air, with which the houses
are deodorized and cleaned daily, is
perfumed more deliciously than any
lady's boudoir, whilst fountains in the
plaisance and in the public hall dis
tribute universal atmosphere OF san
itary fragrance.
Owing to geological changes of a
character calculated to leveiing the
earth's surface, and also owing to the
great engineering works carried on dur
ing the preceding centuries by man
kind, for the purpose Of interesting
the large bodies of land by canals.
thereby facilita ting inter-oceanic traffic,
before the secret of aerial navigation
was accomplished, wonderful changes
of climate were brought about The
currents of the ocean were altered
and were SO scientifically directed as to
serve the purpose of equalizing the
temperature in almost all parts of the
globe, currents from the frozen poles
being directed to the parched wilder
nesses Of Asia, Africa and Australia,
and currents from these places being
sent in other directions to carry the I'M
welcome heat they accumulate to cold
err zones. This was one OF the greatest
engineering feats of the ancients, and
conduced wonderfully to the develop
ment of the race.
Their epoch also produced the great
concave excavations for sucking up the
storm winds which give US one of
the forms Of power necessary for
the production of our electrical energy
a part Of which is also derived
from the action of the tides. which have
been utilized by another wonderful in
vention, as also has solar energy, con-
served from the suns rays, by artificial
means. When rain becomes necessary
for the crops or vegetation, it is pro-
duced by creating atmospheric disturb
ances by means of concentrated gases
dispersed from pneumatic instruments,
one of which is located on the roof of
each public hall. In this way, public
convenience is better served, and at the
cost of very little effort on the part of
the meteorological department. The
uniformity of the weather was really
necessity in an ideal condition of envi-
ronment, as violent atmospheric
changes had great influence upon the
physical organization, producing many
undesirable effects. Society has formed
itself into five distinct fraternities who
have their own separate cities and
systems of living peculiar to each, and
there are still some in the van of progress
whilst the laggards bring up the rear.
The most advanced of these are the
jewellers upon the hill tops, and their
lives are entirely devoted to moral re-
search, in quest of which, owing to the |
development of certain spiritual |
faculties, they are able to investigate |
even the uttermost stars. These beings |
are half mortal only, as their knowledge |
of the mysteries of natures laboratory |
and their spiritual development have add
vanced them to the point which is the |
dividing line between spirit and matter. |
Following them are the idealists, who |
dwell under conditions conducive to |
the highest development of earthly !
ideas-the educators, who are really Sc
lected from these two orders, and last
ly, the industrials, who still depend |
upon speech for communication and !
mechanical means Of supplying their
wants. They are all inter-dependent,
the industrials supplying the higher
with their clothing and
building material, the idealists IL turn
the industrials with ideas
through the medium of the electric
pictures which crnanate from their
hands, and both they and the ethereals
are employed in the educational cen
ters, laboring for the good of all. Be
sides this, all new ideas come from the
ethereals, who, by means of inter planet
airy impressions, are enabled TO con-
stantly increase the knowledge of man
kind. Each community. you may be
certain, duly serves its purpose in the
economy of nature. 1t must be borne
in mind that this is the mode of
living among the industrials only; de-
scription of that among the ethereals
and other co-existent communities will
reveal yet more startling changes in the
life of the inhabitants of this planet in
the ten thousandth century.-Frorn
