An ANCIENT PROPHECY RE-
CALLED
(By r. 7. Patten)

The wonders of the present day
come upon us so rapidly that we are
prepared to take everything for
granted.
A couple of years ago we exhibited
a mild interest when told that radio
kilograms had been sent around the
world. Now we sit in our homes and
listen to sermons in Pittsburgh or
concerts in Chicago and get very much
out of patience if both are not per-
fectly clear and audible from start to
finish When enjoying this latest
marvel perhaps few of us realize that
its coming was foretold in book writ
ten nearly forty years ago. The
author did not then conceive of the
sound coming thru the air. Even
his Imagination and vision could not
quite grasp that but he was. even in
that far away time, strangely pro-
phetic as to what is now an actuality.
Two characters are brought into
the dialogue in the portion of the
book referred to. They are DR.. Leete
and the daughter of his host, Edith
West. DR.. Leete was asked If he
would like to listen to the music and
We will let him initiate the dialogue
which proceeds as follows:
" Come then. into the music room,

any stretch of imagination could be

that my puzzled appearance was af-
fording intense amusement to Edith. !

that this prodigious programme was

tions. think it is perfectly charm

violns filled the room with the witch
cry of a summer night. When this
had also ceased, she said: There is
nothing In the least mysterious about
the music. as you seem to imagine
1t is not made by fairies or genii,
but by good honest, and eXceedinglS
clever human hands. We have sim
ply carried the idea of labor-saying

vice as into everything else
1t appears to me, Miss Leete.
! said. that if we could have devised
an arrangement for providing every
body with music in their homes, per-
feet in quality. unlimited in quaint
ty, suited to every mood, and begin
ming and ceasing at WILL we should
have considered the limit of human
felicity already attained and ceased
to strive for further Improvements
Did ! understand you rightly

gramme covers the entire twenty-four
hours? 1t seems to on this card, |
certainly: but who is there to listen |
to music between say midnight and |
morning.
Oh many Edith replied Our !
people keep all hours; but if the mu-
sic were provided from midnight to
morning for no others. it still would |
be for the sleepless. the sick, and the |
dying. All our bedchambers have a |
telephone attachment at the head of |
the bed by which any person who |
may be sleepless can command music |
at pleasure. of the sort suited to the |
mood
