INVENTIONS.
If the inventions of the past
100 years are as ingenious as
those of the century preceding
1900, it would read like a fairy story to
predict the probabilities. In travel do
mestic life, manufacture, educational
methods, etc, facilities will be in vogue
/ of which we do not dream. The problem
of aerial navigation will be solved be-
fore 1000. Transcontinental mails VIII
be forwarded by means of pneuma tic
tubes, The perils of ocean travel viii
be greatly Iessened by the Introduction
of companion steamers, sailing pairwise
and maintaining communication by
system Of fog bells, electric refractors
or by means Of wireless biography. The
conquest Of the elements that they may
be made to serve mankind is manifestly
to be continued in the next century That
has been the distinguishing feature of
the nineteenth century. How far man
will subdue the forces of nature and
compel service from these forces within
the next hundred years is as inconceiv-
able as it would have been for the men
who fought the battles of the RevoIu-
ton to understand how it could be pos
sible to exchange intelligence with Eu-
rope on the instant or to chat under
standingly with a friend 1000 miles
away. One need be no utopian 20 an

Mercury will be far more precious

of the earth may be filed with great
mirrors used to concentrate the rays OF
the sun into storage batteries, made uD

compounded than coal, Kerosene or the
