colors
Every citizen is bound to benefit by
the boons to be brought by the area OF
invention embraced in the next quar-
ter of century, for the reason that
many of the Injuries of the present
day will be brought within the reach
Of a vast proportion OF the population.
The members of the gentler sex will
be enabled to wear fabrics OF the most
delicate hues with absolute certainty
that the stuffs can be faded by neither
sun nor rain: they may purchase at
moderate prices cotton and wool gar
ments which by means OF the perfec-
ton of the mercerizing process will be
ly, they can, in all probability, rejoice
in manufactured diamonds that win
possess every attribute of the most
precious of gems.
Similarly. too, the family of moder-
ate means will fare better on the same
income than is possible today, for the
reason that quicker and cheaper trans
portation will bring wider range OF
delicacies within their reach. while
improved methods OF canning fruits
and vegetables will enable the pre-
served products to vie with those Of
the dollhouse.
In the field Of offence and defence,
1t is not so easy to surmise what the
future may hold. For one thing it is
practically certain that rapid-fire guns
Of much lighter calibre will be pro-
ducej. and it is possible that some
means may yet be discovered to aurl
high explosives long distances with a
effective in the direction desired when
the explosion comes.
Some experts in warfare can see
nothing but a continuance of the rival
ry to secure increased power of resist
ance In armor and increased penetra-
tive power in projectiles. but other au-
thorities are confident that the perfec-
ton of the submarine boat will drive
the more ponderous war vessels from
the seas
There is every reason to believe that
In the future. as in the past. fortunes
will be the reward Of many inventors
of seemingly the most simple devices
the ideas which might have occurre
to anybody. The profits of the inven-
tors who evolved the popular dime
bank and that universal toy, the bound
ing ball, stand out prominently to at
tract the inventive genius into this
field, which has proved so productive
in the past.
That demand of this class exists is
evidenced by the constant cry of many
| interests for a non-refillable bottle
Wine manufacturers, distillers, manu-
| facturers of medicine and perfumery
have all suffered for the lack of some
tents have been poured out could moi
be refilled with an inferior article and
sold as the original.
The inventor who can produce 8
| practicable non-refillable bottle that
can be manufactured at a reasonable
price can set himself down as mil
lionaire the moment ne gets a patent
For years various inventors have
been attempting to secure a substitute
| for the razor. Recently Frenchmar
thought he had solved the problem
| but after his device and electro-chemi
cal combination had been in use in the
Partisan barber shop few days the
| customers discovered that the instru
ment burned and blackened theil
chins, and the inventor was obliged t
| fee before their rage. Nevertheless
there is fortune for him who can dis
cover a harmless substitute for shaw
ing.
1t is incumbent upon the race to turf
out genius who shall discover or in
vent new and practical fuel There
Is a chance that some White Knigh
of the coming years may contrive t.
store and distribute the heat contrib
uted gratis by the solar furnace tha
keeps us all alive, so as to obviate tn,
necessity of lesser fires. Many ar,
at work at this; others are experiment
ing along the line of fuels.
The one that attains definite result,
first will be able to warm his hands a
golden CRATE filled with the form o
! carbon which wo oall diamondn, If hi
taste in extravaganza runs to that sor
| of thing.
Right here comes the need of q per
feet smoke consumer, a stove in which
soft coal may be burned without tn,
attending evils until the new fuel
which, OF course, will have to be cheap

storage may be practicable.-Nev
