the crop of fiber or the corresponding
food product, polypomus, which is a
fruit embracing all the elements that
contribute perfect diet, produced by
the interbreeding of such heterogeneous
plants as the agarics, succulents, tubers
like the potato and other varieties.
This gigantic fruit, somewhat re.
sembling many times magnified pump
kin. is, when ripe. gathered and trans
ferred by machinery direct to the fac
tory, where it is peeled, and after pass
ing through various processes comes
into the supply department in small
tablets. containing food in its most
concentrated form. In appearance it is
not unlike small cake of chocolate,
and the aluminium in which it is
wrapped very much resembles the tin
foil formerly used for wrapping that
confection in.
You may imagine how tremendously
this simplifcation Of feeding has re-
duced homework, as one can carry
their Gays food in their pocket, as they
usually do, and eat it as inclination
prompts.
As for the clothing question: when
the fiber lie ayes the field it is carried to
the factory, from whence it arrives at
the supply department in the shape of
garments. These suits are bi-sexual
and consist Of trouser-like garment,
very loose and flowing, an upper gar
ment of Greek design, and a pair Of
sandals. One of these suits is supplied
to each adult, in any size required,
every day, at the end Of which time it
is returned through the sewerage chute
to the fertilizing tanks at the farm.
No other garments than these are worn
and they are considered to be hygienic-
ally perfect. The cost Of their produc-
ton is less than that of laundering a
suit of underclothes used to be. although
there are three layers of the material,
adapted SO as to have the effect of
wearing both under and overgarments.
In appearance they are of a bright steel
color and exceptionally graceful when
draped.
The public hall is vast palace of

transparent fabric. the center of which
is occupied by the rostrum, where any
one can speak and be heard instantly
by everyone in the hall or even in their
houses if necessary. The seating ca

The story of not only one world, but
Of many, is told in a never-ending pan
Drama, which passes by means of cleo
trio currents round the building upon
dropping into the place of what passes
away. To the residents of the earth of
earlier ages this panorama would rep
resent nothing as the symbols which
are used would be beyond their compre-
hension. It is mixture of picture and
writing, the necessary evolution of d
system of communicating by thought,
as practiced by the higher. fraterni,ies
Of the earth at this epoch, under whose
control education and publicity nauu-
rally rest.
The panorama is carried over wires |
on reduced scale into every house, |
but it is a habit, something equivalent |
to perpetuation of attendance at re-
hgious assemblies. for the people to |
gather daily in the hall for discussion |
and amusement. Every male citizen is
on duty one day each year in the pro- |
duction and supply department. Other
wise there is little to be done, as there |
are no laws, but natural ones, which |
are perpetual, and there is neither the
to break them or the oppor-
tuuity, all cases of atavism being rele-
gated to the hospital or college in in
fancy.
