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, ana
in commercial towns in the rest of the
world. Then the submarine cable was
in its experimental stage; now there
are over 225.O00 miles of cables, or
enough to reach from the earth to the
moon. The electric light now almost
universally used for street ilumina-
ton and very considerably adopted by
stores workshops and homes, was un-
known half a century ago. The phone
graph was not even a dream fifty
years ago: neither was the moving
picture" machine, now ubiquitous, ami
even ten years ago the wireless te!c-
graph had not passed the stage Of
dreams. None of these are a whit loss
marvellous than the pictured sugges-
tons Of the future by the French ar
fist.
Like Jules Verne, VI. Lanos did not
give himself up Internationally to his
Imagination. His foreshadowing of
future scientific wonders has basis
in experiments now being conducted
He is not. however. m inventor, and
even he would not like to hazard the
assertion that the apparatus which
will be used fifty years hence viii
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
