This is 1.-The automatic pilot a small
cigar shaped copper vessel some fifteen feet
long and twenty-four inches at its great
est diameter, having within il an electric
motor which drives 4 screw propeller at
its end. From tie masthead reel passes
two insulated wires, which run from the
ships dynamo electric engine down to the
cigar Snapped pilot to which they arr
joined side by side. about two feet apart.
They not only carry electricity to the mo-
tor of the pilot, but also cause the pilot TO
move in harmony with the steamer course
HAs soon as a fog appears the pilot is
launched; and the current passing to it
through the wires from the masthead re-
wolves the motor in the little pilot-craft
and sends her shooting ahead of the ship
or steamer. II the pilot tends TO veer from
a straight line one of the wires becomes
more taut than the other and so affects
the steering apparatus as to bring the
copper boat back to the right course. +
forgot TO say that these wires or cables,
although having only about the thickness
! of knitting needle, are twisted together
from a number of very fine steel wires;
| and, as the speed of the pilot is greater
than the ships and keeps her about hal
mile ahead Of the latter, the wires al
ways tend to become taut. If tile pilot
| strikes any obstacle, the fact becomes
known at once to the man at the dynamo,

without loss Of time. Many serious acci-

ton. The automatic pilot boat is taken
on board again, Of course, when the fog
clears.

This episode settled Hammerfleet's fate.

complete machine. The profound changein
the moral, mental, and social condition OF
the working people effected by return
once more to occupation in the home, in
stead of the promiscuous association in
large factories, has been one Of the most
potent agents in improving the state of
the population, lessening crime, drunken
ness, and other evils; stimulating true
education, and rest oring TO labor its
natural poetry and idyIlic character.
Thanks To the plastic process of build
ing, even the poorest worker has his own
home. With the children Of mechanics
learning their trade at home from the
earliest years, highly trained workmen
have been developed, who produce mechan-
isrns and fabrics once thought 60 be i'm
possible and of a cheapness that is sur
prising. In those branches OF the mechanic
arts where labor cannot be subdivided, great
factories still hold their place. But they
are automatic-like that in which Hammer
fleet had tried TO cntrap me-and need the
attendance OF only one watcher; so per-
fected are the science and art of automatic
action, by the higher type of intellect of
the modern mechanic and artisan.

would like to speak, but l mCSt bring this

With all the improvements in machinery,
inventions and modes oflife, human nature,
also, has somewhat improved, but it has
not radically altered. It's passions, good
and bad, remain much the same, together
with its weakness fickleness and treachery,
Noting this, and hayirg seen so much of
the world even in our rapid Journeys, I
began to grow q trifle tired of it all and
to yearn for something new and for rest.
Moreover, Zorln had stirred up so much
controversy by his private and public talks
wherever he went, regarding his large
cosmic views in religion, philosophy and
science, that he, also, longed for re-
turn to his native planet. -4.
1t was when we had arrived at this
state of mind that Graemantle suddenly
came up with US, just as W alighted from
an airship in Norway. After getting us
under thorough observation by number
of emissaries, he had obtained from the
World Committee of Twenty an order for

SEA SIGNALING-THE FINAL FLIGHT.
We had noticed at times when the sky
was cloudy, both by day and by night, GER
tain periodic flashes Of light appearing on
the clouds in quick succession Electra told
me that these We're caused by the system
Of cloud-telegraphy now in use and to any
one familiar with the Morse alphabet, as
was, II was easy to read the messages so
flashed about the heavens, though | could
not understand those which Were in cipher.
Most Of them were OF general nature. and
had nothing to do with us But at inter-
walls we observed that telegraphic inquiries
were being made on the clouds about our
party, and that certain persons whom we
were hot able to identify-most Of them
signing their communications with numcr-
ais instead OF names--werc answering
those inquiries / may as well jot down
in this place the information gathered as
to the ncde Of signaling by cloud-flash and
by other new methods.
Powerful electric rays arc, by means Of
lenses, brought to thin pencils of intense
light. "A single one OF these is thon pro-
