materlalized2 NJ. LanOs answers: AL
most tomorrow; say the year Of grace,
1880"
AS the fulflment of the prophecy Is
set for date which millions now liv-
ing will undoubtedly witness, what are
some Of the wonders science has IN
store for us, and what are the chances
of M. Lanos' dreams becoming reali-
ties?
First, let US make a catalogue of
these marvels Of tomorrow: To be
able to see and feel at a distance In
connection with the telephone; -
travel through the air on a mono-rail-
road at not less than $50 miles an
hour; to be able to see occurrences as
they happen at a kind Of public news
paper station, and to farm at great
central forcing houses, which will pro-
duce crop after crop. irrespective Of
climate or weather conditions
Certainly, NJ. Lanos Is modest NJ.
Jules Verne would never have been
content to stop there.
In order to gauge the value of this
kind Of dreaming, which at first sight
seems to be invention run riot, O
glance backward is a good prepare
ton.
Inventions Since 1850.
Fifty years ago the telephone was
unknown; now there are millions of
telephones in use in nearly every city
and town in Europe and America, and
In commercial towns in the rest Of the
world. Then the submarine cable was
in its experimental stage; now there
are over 225,OOO miles Of cables, or
enough to reach from the earth to the
moon. The electric light, now almost
universally used for street illumina-
ton and very considerably adopted by
stores, workshops and homes, was un-
known half a century ago. The phono-
graph was not even a dream fifty
years ago; neither was the moving
picture" machine, now ubiquitous, and
even ten years ago the wireless tele-
graph had not passed the stage of
dreams. None of these are a whit less
marvellous than the pictured sugges-
tons Of the future by the French ar
fist
Like Jules Verne, NJ. Lanos did not
give himself up Internationally to his
Imagination. His foreshadowinR of
/ future scientific wonders has a basis
in experiments now being conducted.
He is not, however. an inventor, and
even he would not like to hazard the
assertion that the apparatus which
will be used fifty years hence win
conform with those so effectively used
in his pictorial compositions. Those
who are slaves of fashion will notice
that the artist has not attempted to
foreshadow anything so tickle as taste
in dress. His men of 1850 continue to
adhere to the styles of 1905.
Telephone of the Future.
For five years past, or more, there

an experimental manner. a method OF
transmitting a picture by WIRE, but in

AN EXQUISITE JAPANESE STRUC.
 TURF NEAR BRUSSELS.
The Beauty and Luxury Loving Mon- arch Adds Another Gem to His
 Possessions-Wonders of
 the Place,


 It is at Laeken, and close to the kings palace, near Brussels, that the Japanese pagoda reaches far up into the quiet, monotonous sky of Flanders. It stands on the edge of the royal park. and offers piquant air of eastern mystery to the beholder, which is sharp contrast to the prosaic high-road that skirts it.. It's closed door and lattices add to its inscrutableness, and it suggests some lonely stranger who refuses to sing the songs of his native land in place of exile. But it's magnifcence and rich col bring give welcome note of warmth and brightness, and it is so beautiful that no lover of Japanese art should fail to visit it, even though just at pres ent the interior is not open to the pub lie.
 When King Leopold first conceived the idea of placing Japanese pagoda on this spot, he found the rocky site he had chosen so uneven that towards the road great masses of stone have been built up, so as to form stable and even base for the great structure. Then it seemed too perched as it stood alone to look artistic, and a large pavilion or wing has been added which serves as entrance and staircase to the actual tower.
 Both editices just completed, are mar vels of carving and gliding. Some of the most beautiful specimens of Jap anese art, and indeed the greater part, if not the whole, of the exterior of the pagoda were bought by the king from the Japanese section at the last Paris exhibition, and since then his majesty who takes the greatest interest in his novel erection, experimenting every thing-has employed agents to hunt Japan for treasures.
 Our photographs, just taken, give an excellent idea of the beauties of the buildings, though the color scheme is, of course, lost. A double row of rail- ings protects, from passers-by, the wood of the pavilion, which is of rich bright brown, and deeply carved. Here and there it is touched with red and black, frightened with gliding, and ornament ed with plaques of gilded bronze. The pagoda itself is dark red, relieved with gold and black, and its ruddy-tip- tilted caves, like curled petals. suggest, as they rise one above another, some tall, strange flower.
 Two large double doors, exquisitely carved, open on each side into small square hall. That near the road is for public access, that towards the park IS the royal entrance.
 A short flight of steps on entering and the visitor turns to find himself in the grand staircase, which occupies the whole of the pavilion. Splendid as are the decorations. the stained glass windows form the special attraction here. being the work of the Frenchman, Jallant. from designs by the best Jap anese artists, this art being one which the Japanese have yet to acquire.

Silos and fhe Dairy

Some farmers have silos in the barns where they keep their cows. This is not a desirable arrangement. as the smell of the silage is likely to get into the milk A silo in the barn must be most carefully handled if the silage is not to become injurious to the flavor of the milk It is better to have the silo sep arate from the stable where the COWS are kept ;.

little inferior to that renowned in the church of Jacques at Antwerp. Every where there are lotus flowers which serve for electric lamps
 The large hall on the ground floor is a marvel of lacquer and rich decoration. The pillars, which line the walls and form corners. are covered with splendid repousse gilded leather. and there is not an inch of space which is not beautified with incrusted lacquer. carving. or gild- ed bronze. The ceiling is painted with flowers in rounds on white ground. and the floor is covered with the finest Jap- anese mating.
 The hall on the first floor is. if pos Sible. more beautiful Here the lacquer panels. incrusted with pearl. ivory. etc.. are even more splendid. the carving deeper, the gilded leather more mar vicious in design and richness Here it not only covers the pillars. but forms a double frieze. Priceless specimens of Japanese bronzes. etc. have been added here. and two fine screens show designs of Japanese processions. The lacquer panels in the corner show a tortoise emerging from the water-the tortoise being a sacred emblem in Japan-and two other figures. These are of the greatest beauty imaginable. The cell ing. too. is wonderful. and indeed. there is enough to keep a connoisseur in rapt admiration for days. The remaining three stories have not been furnished yet. His majesty is still seeking the best that Japan car offer for his treas ure house. ard it is certain that he is pre- senting to his people yet another gift that is ertistically priceless and uniuue.
