The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-12-03

to hear higher pitches Of sound and to
recognize a greater number of tone quail
tiles. He will be able to discriminate
between colors below the red and above
the violet. Five thousand years from
now the human race will detect ten DIFF
ferent steps in each fundamental color.
WILL THINK FASTER.
1.-THE time will come when mans men,
tai faculties will have increased from
ten to twenty times in speed Of function
ing. He will then actually experience
in a normal lifetime what it would take
US perhaps 5000 years to experience with
our mental equipment. He will be rid
of all depressing evil and malicious
emotions, and because of an interpretive
knowledge of his own mind will be able
to control himself in manner now APP
parently impossible While rid of the
emotions now poisoning his blood and
weakening his judgment he will possess
a greater number of normal emotions
active in his daily life.
He will be more affectionate and will
love a greater number of things. He will
be more artistic, more aesthetic, more
Just and more sympathetic. He will be,
technically, more skillful in his trade or
profession. He will not commit crimes
or indulge in warfare. He will be trained
TO exercise great skill in performing the
usual social functions for the mainte-
nance of reputation and acquisition OF
character.
His period of childhood will be longer
than now. Disease will not be handed
down from parent to child. Ripe old age
will find itself in possession of every
function. 1t is possible that the tendency
toward a second childhood will be slim
ulted into a natural rejuvenating
process, prolonging human life indef-
nitely.
by artificial selective propagation
foods will be made far more nutritive.
The killing of animals will cease. Food
will be derived from vegetables or micro
organisms. Man will substitute for meat
single cell structures lower in the scale
of life than either vegetables or ami
mails, but containing the nutritiVe quail
tiles of each. Not possessing the organs
in which animal diseases thrive, they
cannot acquire them.
Among these single-cell structures are
notably the protista. They can be rapid
ly propagated in water. ton will be-
come two tons in short space of time.
Then there are many millions of single
cell species, both animal and vegetable,
which would answer the purpose.
NO LARGE CITIES.
1.-The large city will have ceased to ex-
list. The number of villages will increase,
and perfected aerial navigation will allow
men to live hundreds of miles from their
daily occupations. A man in one part of
the world will be able to talk to and
see another in a distant part; the at
mosphere will not be permeated with
carbonic acid gas from the burning of
fuels.
Porous material will not be used in
the construction of dwellings,. They will
be entirely fireproof and moisture proof.
They will be equipped with devices for reg
ulating not only temperature but mOis-
ture and electric potential. Dust and
germs Will be completely screened out,
and man will no longer waste his en-
ergy combating such things. Water
will be more pure. Clothing will not in
terfere with the ventilation or motion Of
any part of the body.
Language will be SO simplified that
when man shall have learned from 1000
to 1000 simple vocables and syllables he
will have mastered his entire language.
This mode of speaking will first become
common among scientists. Science will
be the propagandized religion. Ascer-
tainment of truth by investigation will
become religious purpose. Man will de-
velop more in the twentieth century than
he has in the last 1000 years"
Strawberries as cheap and plentiful for
Christmas dinner as during June and
july was one Of the predictions for the
American of the far future made by DR..
Langworthy, the governments food eX-
pert. He added that perfection of trans
portation facilities would make the sea-
son for all fruits and vegetables endless
that electricity would replace cooking
fuels; that home work would be done by
cooperation; that the preparation of
foods would be digni1ied rather than a
degrading occupation, and that man 5
food would not be vastly different from
that of today, but that methods of stor-
ing and preparing it would be very much
more sanitary.
ALL MEN WHITE.
Every man will be WHITE said Prof
w. ]. MCGEE, ethnologist. His average
height and weight will be decidedly
greater. His head will be larger, abso-
lutely and relatively. His hands and
brain will be better co-ordinated, and
therefore he will be a better mechani-
clan. His vision will be stronger, his
sense of smell more acute, and his hear
ing and sense Of taste much more deli
cate.
He will live under universal repub-
lican government but it is doubtful
whether any one administrative head
will be required. Disputes between indi-
VidualS, corporations or states will be
settled by courts of various magnitudeS.
There will be a universal language-a
composite of all present tongues-but,
like the English, a language of vocables
and syntaX. Written and spoken Ian
guage will be more similar. Phonetic
spelling will effect great economy in both
printing and writing.
'FiSh will latiVelV moro iTonOr-
tant as food. Oceans and lakes will be
the main source of food supply. Land
will be almost entirely occupied foI
sifed agriculture. Need of clothing will
diminish. Control Of temperature will be
met by other than our present retail
methods. There will be no serious ex-
posture to cold. In winter men will trave
in well heated vehicles, carrying then
from one warm building to another
Ozone will be sold at drug stores and viii
be applied to kill bacilli as soon as they
appear.
1.-The earth will be an endless success
sion of suburbs. Cities will meanwhile
grow less and less dense. The stree
block or row will be no more. The home
will be more individual, each family oc-
cupying a separate house, built to sui
It's peculiar taste.
Transportation will be chiefly electric
and will be much more rapid as a result
of Strengthening and multiplication Of
tracks. Aerial navigation will be Valua-
BILE only for sports and amusement. Sub
marine navigation will be valuable only
as a means of escape from storms. Yes
sells will be equipped with means of div
ing and remaining below the surface until
storms blow over. Perfection of teleg-
