The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-02-03

In social intercourse education will be
made SO natural that children can de-
velop their physiques without the nerv-
Gus strain which now tends to dwarf their
unfolding powers.
The functions of government in 2OOO will
be less coercive and more suggestive l.
e., they will relate less to the preserva-
ton. of order and more to the promotion
or comfort, pleasure, progress and the
diffusion of information and thought
AS the camera will be at home in the
Infinite heavens. so will it be at the
bottom of the sea, some success in that
direction already proving the vast posi-
blnties of submarine photography in thu
study of the deep sea fish and flora and
the mysterious conditions under which
they survive.
1t would have been a sensible thing
at the beginning of the new century to
have our timepieces marked twenty-four
hours in day instead Of doubling on
themselves in two sets of twelve. 1t will
probably come long before the beginning
of the twenty-first.
American literature and pedagogy of
science and industry will DE so developed
that the arts of production will have
changed as rapidly in the twentieth CEN
fury as has the transportation of com
modities, of people and of thought in the
nineteenth century
The photograph album will disappear
entirely, and in it's place will come the
color Photographic transparencies seen
stereopticaly, giving the exact presence
OF the subject in every detail of color
as we'll as form. The very best of the
present monochrome photographs will be
as Anticipated as the old fashioned da-
guerreotype Is today.
Oratory will have been so improved by
the aid of the monograph and steropticon
with its revolving mechanism, that
thought now too abstruse for presenta-
ton to an audience will be made to
quicken assembled multitudes so that
they will evolve new PHILOSOPHERS and de-
velop new standards of morals
The army, navy and treasury depart
ments will decline in relative Importance,
while the interior department. the census
bureau, the department of agriculture,
the weather service and the postoffice
and geological survey will contain the
substance Of the governments future
work and the germs of its future expan-
sion.
The ear may take the place of the eye
for the interest and instruction of man
KIND. most unnatural thing has hap
peped in human development The life
Of all ages has been instructed by sound.
All mothers, from the mother bird to the
mother woman, teach their offsprings by
sound, by utterance. But instead Of
continuing the natural process of instruc-
ton to the complete development of the
mind an abnormal method has been sub
stttuted, that of crooked marks on the
printed page.
One specialist insists that it may be
possible after reducing coal to a gaseous
form to send it through the air on an
electric circuit, to be reduced at the place
of destination to a solid and to be sold
as coal with all the original qualities of
the product dug from the mines This
Is on a par with the assertion of a
northwestern locomtive engineer~who de-
clared that during a cold snap the smoke
from the engine was frozen into solid
chunks of coal and falling back into the
tender was burned over and over AGAIN.
If condensed food should become the
rule the servant girl question may be
settled, for the good wife can arrange
her meals easily and quickly with pei
lets and capsules, in which is compressed
the very essence and nourjshment of
meats, grains and plants This will do
away with making different kinds of
drinks for a family, for little lozenges
of coffee, tea or chocolate will be ready
for use by dropping the one preferred
INTO a cup of water heated by electricity
at the table
