went to the Museum of Civilization to
view souvenirs of the men who founded the
United States of Europe. There we saw
the marble bust Of Leo Xxx, the last of
the Popes, at the side of a statue of the
last King of Italy, who voluntarily turned
his crown over to the people. All about
them were statues Of hereditary rulers,
who either followed the example from
their own accord, or were made to follow.
MUSEUM OF SOCIALISM
Next We inspected the museum OF the
socialistic order OF things. Socialism, ex-
planned the electric Indicator, was the
successor of royalty and plutocracy as ex-
emplified in the republics of the twentieth
and twenty-first centuries. 1t exhausted its
usefulness in four generations, when the
federation of the world under which we are
now living assumed its functions. Under
the present rule, every nation enjoys self
government, while all contribute to the
happiness of the rest. There are, of course.
no politics. no frontiers, no duties or sim
liar institutions.

travelled to one of the Dynamo islands,
where planetary power station, furnish

There we saw most gigantic works, fully
as big as the great newspaper printing

The Dynamo island we visited was former

others, Malta and Fernando de Noronha.
THE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.
From Anadaman we Travelled by airship
to Andropolis, the capital of the world,
founded in the year $500 by the British
organizer of the great Federation of the
States Of the Earth. Though Andropolis
is only 500 years old, mere baby compared
TO Rome or even to New York, it has al
ready 100000 of inhabitants. and the de-
mand, once regarded as Utopian, namely
that each family have suitable home of it's
own, is fully realized in this most modern
| metropolis.
Houses, you must know, are no longer
built but cast, the material being a sort of
hard as granite after the process. The
streets OF Andropolis are sixty-ive feet
broad and all traffic is subterranean, under
| a glass roof which. besides light admits
warmth and air. OF course there are nc

EDUCATIONAL METHODS.
Education, while compulsory. allows par
ents to bring up their children according
to individual talents and preferences. The
government furnishes teachers free of
charge. also every kind of educational ma
terial. And it is provided by law that no
teacher shall have more than ten chill
dren at the utmost under his care. The
schoolhouses. models of hygienic architec-
ture and decorated with pictures and stat
ues SO as to develop the little ones love
for beauty and art, stand in the center of
vast squares. laid out as botanical gardens
to facilitate the study of nature. The
school hours begin and end with music and
song. OF course no child is obliged to study
dead languages, or anything else useless.
All the books ever written. and all the
helpful thought ever coined, are at hand
in the universal language which, by the
way, has no complicated grammar or or
biography. 1t is simplicity itself and there
is not one superfiuous letter in il, neither
is there a blasphemous or unclean express
sion. We read in the books of by-gone
ages Of curse words and such that were
prohibited and discouraged by the clean
minded. There would be no use for such
laws or social anathemas now, swear
ing is rendered impossible by the absence
of swear words. The children have two
free days per week and on the four remain
ing work days visit school for three hours
which time is amply sufficient for our pur-
poses.

station that furnishes water, heat, light
and mechanical power to each of the 2,00O,
600 houses free of charge AS man needs
such things for safety and comfort. and
as nature abundantly provided same, the
state distributes them to all as a matter of
course.
Even occasional fires are put out by this
central station. AS soon as the electric
annunciator indicates unusual amount
of heat. in any house within the district the
engineer in charge presses button to warn
the people to withdraw for a while, while
he extinguishes the flames by sitting them
with coal gas, dispatched through tubes.
The markets of Andropolis are wonders
of commodiousness, elegance, and luxury
even. Each thousand houses have mar
ket hall of their own standing in a wide
park. surrounded by fiowerbeds and foun-
tains. Goods are sent to the householder
by automatic carriers upon receipt of or
ders conveyed by annunciators. The arti-
cles for sale are JOY to the eye no less
than to the other senses. Ii goes without
saying that the word famine in this or that
commodity is not in the vocabulary of the

ance everywhere on earth, thanks to the
newly developed light and heat producers.
THE CULT OF BEAUTY.
The cult of beauty is now law of the
nations and recognized by all. According

are laid out and kept up as were a few
royal parks existing as late as the year
| 2150, only more lavishly, more tastefully,

pain may go to the clinic and be exam
ined by X-rays of such penetration as to
lay bare to the eye not only bones, but the
minutest tissues and cellular textures in
any part of the body. And having located
the cause Of pain, there are specialists to
mend or remove it at a moments notice.
These specialists are not called physicians,
but controllers, because they absolutely
control all movements. or changes, of and
in the body.
BRAIN CONTROLLERS.
The most important of the controllers
are those whose speciality is the brain. The
brain controllers examine every baby i'm
medately after BIRTH and If the brain
should indicate criminal tendencies or early
death, the child is not allowed to live, for
if it did, it might endanger the happiness
and welfare of many. These specialists are
bound to suppress all hereditary or consti-
tutional tendencies to perpetuate mental or
physical disease, or deformity, wherever
found.
Coined money is unknown in Andropolis
as well as the rest of the world. Com
merce and industry work with checks and
paper money, which latter is destroyed and
replaced by fresh bills as soon as it reaches
bank. L need hardly say that the paper
employed is of the kind that throws off
microbes and dirt of any sort.
Nothing can exceed the interest of the
great anthropological museums where are
exhibited the types of men inhabitating the
world during the periods when the universe
was given TO strife and reckless ambition
to war and battles on land and sea, In the
