New York a Honeycomb

THE tunnels contemplated in New York at the pres
ent time will when completed form a vast under
ground network centering about the City Hall.
Future tunnels will honeycomb the island, so that
it will be possible to go to any portion of the city
without once coming into the open air. The speed
with which the will run, equaling and even
surprising the rate already attained the expert
mental roads in Europe, four hundred and fifty
miles in two hundred and ten minutes will allow
the people whose business carries them daily to
the city to live without inconvenience loss of
time fifty one hundred miles from the metropolis.
The completion of this underground system will
bring about another Transformation. The most
elementary of commercial axioms is that business
follows the traffic; that when the population of
the city will travel almost exclusively underground,
all the retail merchants will follow the lead of
institutions in New York and establish entrances
to their buildings directly from the subways Stores
of every imaginable kind will line these passages;
and on Monday mornings hundred years hence
the housewife will leave her home in the country
hundred miles away, travel to the city in hour,
finish her bargain hunting, take lunch, and return
without once coming to the surface from the time
she leaves her home until she gets back.
Not only will these tunnels be used for passenger
transportation, but many of them, like those in
Chicago, will be devoted exclusively to freight.
Pneumatic tubes, like those which carry the mails
from the post office to the railroad stations, will
be installed everywhere for the transportation of
merchandise. This complicated system will prac-
tically do away with all surface traffic, and

Contrivances for Comfort

THE homes of the people will be equipped with
every imaginable continuance for health and COM
fort. The system which, by means of the thermostat
and the ventilating apparatus, with slight attention
maintains even temperature in the office build
ings of the present time, matter what the weather
conditions without are, will have been vastly i'm
proved upon. AS a result heating in winter and
cooling in summer will be absolutely automatic.
Clothing will be washed by machinery and Dishes
also if indeed such work will not be done in great
public laundries and kitchens. But perhaps the
housewife will prefer to have such cleansing done
at home. In that it may be possible for her at
the close of every meal to take the table cloth by
the four corners and empty its contents, made of
some unbreakable material, into a chute. Down
through this passage the dishes will clatter, SUBJ
jected the while to streams of hot water and jets
of steam, into the basement, where some mechanism
will be ready to catch them, dry them and send them
back to the cupboard all clean and shining for the
next meal. Sweeping and busting will be done by
air suction. The vacuum cleaner system now in
in modern office buildings will be universal
Wireless teegraphy and wireless telephony will
have been perfected, and communication over dis
lance will be infinitely easy and pleasant than

But already the first six years of the
present century have opened up vista of
possibilities which if realized will dwarf the
record of the nineteenth. The discovery of
radium alone has shattered the most cherished
theories of chemistry and physics and gives promise
of still greater discoveries in the future which will be
of nestmable influence on humanity. The widest
dreamers of century ago never conceived of any
thing so astounding as wireless biography now

daily bringing it into greater demand. None of the

Reinforced with slender steel bars, it is being used

have become one hundred years hence lofty pin
naces penetrating far again into the atmosphere.
The most beneficial influence of concrete, how
ever, will not be in what it will do for the cor
porations which the sky scrapers, but rather in
what 1t will do for the poor. Suburban districts
will become clustered with eight and ten room
cottages for the poor substantial and comfortable
the modern villa. Enormously increased trans
portation facilities will render possible and probable
the removal to the country of the entire population
which now lnhablts the tenement districts.

dustrial corporations of the future, following in the
footsteps of the Standard OIL will devote almost as
much time and labor to the manufacture of by pro-
ducts as to the preparation of their principal article
of trade. Substitutes for many natural substances,
like rubber and wood pulp, the supply of which is
being rapidly exhausted, will be found in materials
now thrown away by manufacturers.
The discovery of radium has given the chemist
new worlds to conquer. The transmutation of
metals more has been brought within the realm
of possibility. The development of electrochemisry
will bring forth cheaper and more thorough methods
of refining ore, that mines unavoidable will
once more hum with activity. In like manner the
separation of radum and other rare elements will
have been made easy and cheap.
The development of the submarine and the air
ship will make war SO destructive that it will be
impossible The work begun by the arbitration of
international disputes will be brought to a climax

comes second In the output OF gold,
according to the statement, covering

which are cooperating in determining
the output of gold and silver in the
United States. The total value for the
world for 1905 was: Gold, $376,2S9,'

According to the report, gold and
silver both are produced In eight OF
the southern states. as follows: Ala

The total number Of ounces OF gold
produced was 4,265,742. and the com
