The character who qualities for the
title of 1.-THE Man From Now" a re-
markably whimsical extravaganza,
does it by swallowing a whopping dose
OF an elixir that projects him into the
distant year of 1906. The transit is
through fieeting clouds, along flashing

from the satirical UsOna college of now
to the resplendence of the allegorical
Vassar college of a century hereafter.
