The City of the Future.

From Casters Magazine.
Cheap freights having practically equalized
the price of provisions throughout the civ
ilized portion CT the globe, the last i'm
pediment to industrial concentration was
removed, and cities favorably situated with
respect to coal-that is. raw steam power
increased in population far beyond the
widest conJectures of our grandfathers.
Yet, while the industrial masses were bet
ter housed and fed, under this new regime,
than ever before. the broader and deeper
results were not wholly satisfactory.
Concentration for work meant concentra.
ton for living as well; the hardy healthy
childhood of the country was badly eX-
changed for the air starvation, tenement
house squalor and multiplied temptations
OF the cities, until 1t became, and still re-
MAINS a question with many soclologists
whether the industrial concentration in the
cities was not calculated to bring about its
own downfall by completely absorbing the
energy of the individual city units, at first
reducing and ultimately destroying the
fertility of the race. Just, however, as the
evils that steam was likely to bring about
We're becoming distressingly apparent, a
cloud, at first no bigger than a mans hand
appeared on the horizon, and has since
been spreading until it promises to eclipse
steam almost entirely as the prime mover
In industrial enterprise.
Electricity, unlike steam, can be distrib-
uted over wide area from the point of its
production, with comparatively little loss: ::
unlike steam it can be stored up for an
indefinite length of time, ready for instant
use; unlike steam, it can be economically
subdivided ir to units small enough to run
a sewing machine. Thus, electricity. as
motive power, permits dispersion of the in
dustrial population where the defects of
steam made concentration an absolute
economic necessity. Moreover, so far as
the waterfalls of the world are to be util-
lied for the production of electricity. they
will invite the establishment of Industrial
works under new conditions and with new
surroundings.
