Dr.Tlillicims' PINK PILLS "A HOUSEHOI.D NMIK IN B4 COUNTRIES" The Miracle of Next Century Bii!:*rJiead Looks Ahead for a Hundred Years and Visualize Progress Equal to Past NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE The past century has wittessed so many and such marvelous ehangt;s ai ong men that we are disposed to accept calmly whatever predictions may be made for the nexi one. So when the Earl of Bi.kenhead tells us, In Hearst's International-Cosmopoli- tan (February), that in 2029 we shall have cheap atomic power ov a cosmic •cale, that there will be no more farm- ing, and that we shaL even breed off- spring by laboratory methods, we mtiely remark, "Yes, yes; as likely as not;" And when he ei ds up by saying that after all some daring investigator may start an atomio catastrophe that will blow up the universe before any of these things comes to pass, we just Bigli and trust that this form of rash- Tiess may in some way be averted. The Enrl has been Secretary for India since November, 1924, was Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain from 1919 tc 1922, and is an authority on mod- ern history and international law. He lias visited America several times, and has written two books about the U.S. Ot his article on mankind In 1'029 we havv- space onl> for the Earl's main htad.s: He writes: "The child of 2029, looking back on ll)2'.), will consider it as primitive and quaint as 1829 seems to the children of the present day. Our means of travel, our sources of wealth, our medicine, and even our ideas will change as drastically during the next century as they did in the course of the last. ".Applied physics, which has given V. (he steam-engine, the internal com- bustion motor, 88 TveH as wireless, telephones, and all the many other practical uses of electrivnl energy, will certainly make prodigious advances be- fre the year 2029. "The l>e8t scientific opinion helieves that before 2029 physicists will have solved the problem of supplying the world with limitless aniouots of ch^iip power. At present yie derive the energy- which drives the wheels of industi^y from coal and oil. Both these substances are won from natui-e at the exponse of much money and va.st stores' of muscular energy, nor are their supplies inexhaustible. A pound 'or coal c*n <inly he made to yiold one horsepower for one houu. "Yt?t, locTvcd up in the atoms wUicli constitute a pound nt water, there is ten million horse-powt-r Hours.' Thciy ifi no question that this iolvssalsouice of eneryry exists; but as yet physicists do' riot know how to ro'safie jt; or, having (lone so, how to make it .pei;- form useful work. "This problem will be solved, before 2029. Some Inv^fjtlga'tor.- at pfeseut In hiit,crad!e or unborn, "tviii discover the iiiatch >jrilh which to ligJit 6hi^ bon- fire, or the ff^Anator perdful to cause this terrific explosion. "The consequences of tapping such stupendous - u:ce! of cheap energy are almost illimitable. For the first tiime in his history, man vii' be armed with aui"ficient po er to undertake operations on . cosmic scaie It will be open to him radically to alter the geography or the climate of the world. By utilizing some 50,000 tons of water, hte anuunt displaced by a large liiier, it would be possible to remove Irsland to the deeper portion of thei Atlantic Ocean. The heat obtainable fiom the same quantity of water would suffice to maintain the polar regions at the temperature of the I Sahara for a thousand yeais. | "The liberation of this energy na-i turally will rev.utionije travel and transport. Concerning the nature of the vehicles it is rash to prophesy. Passengers will travel in enormously swift airplanes which will -scend and descend vertically. Goods will be car- ried cheaply and rapidly by land or sea, propelled by motors whose fuel I bill will be almost nil." ! But if this source of eneigy is not â-  tapped by 2029, we need not worry; ; others are available. As we are re- ' minded: "Some authoritative scien ists do not believe that the solution of the power problem will be reached along thes lines. They consider that either the winds or the tides will be forced to yield up their energy. Water-power 1 is too unevenly distributed ever the earth's sutface, and t< o much affected by seasonal variations, ever to become the principal source of the world's energy; but the winds are lever still, and the tides flow and ebb with un- varying precision. ''If the winds were harnessed they could produce a saperabundance of cheap wore. During storm-' weather their surplus energy could be stored in a variety of ways and so be avail- able during calms. "The exploitation of ti< al energy presents difficulties which have yet to be solved in a satisfactory manner. These difficulties, however, are not those of principle but of technique; and if the wealth and thet serious en- gineering attention of the world wei-e focussed on the question for ten years, there is no doubt that they would be overcome. The tides of the Bay of Fundy alone could supply the whole of North Americf with electrical energy." During the nexi. hundred years, pre- dicts the Earl, applied physics will de- velop wireless telephony and television beyond our present most imaginative expectations. By 2029 it should be possible, he says, for any person sit- ting at home to be "present" at no matter what distant event. Such de- velopments must influence the future of politics. By 2029 the sp(/kesman of each party will be able tt address every voter as effectively as he now can address a legislative body, we arg assured, and so the electorate Itself, rather than its representatives, may decide each political issue. Within twenty minutes from the end ot the las speech, its will could be ascertain- ed and announced. We read further : "And developments in physics and chemistry which reasonably/ may be predicted to jccur before 2029 do no mcHL'e than alter the accidentals of hu- man existence. In biology, however, developments may be predicted which will change the whole natural life as we experience it today The abolition of epidemic disease by 2029 is fairly certain, as Is the discovery of cures for such scourges as cancer and tuber- culosis. Complete and prolonged local anesthesia will boconr^ practicable; so that not only will operi:tion3 be pain- less, but the patient will feel no pain afterward as a result of them. Such an advance also entails completely painless childbirth. "Biologists by 2029 will have learn- ed the secrets of the living chemistry Cunard Krings "Lucky 13" i'Why sboalU we tee! unlucky Just because we'are 13 iu number. Look at Filzuialii-ico ami liis two German pals who by a miracle lauded their 'plane â- .HI Ljibrador ou a Friday the 13lh and became famous overnight." This Is I the joint arguineui of tUa family seen above, fathered by J. Pike, ot Reading, , bihiglaad-. As they landed at Halifax from the big Cunarder Lancastria, they I told Cuuard imuiigration oflicials that they will try their luck lu Canada with high optimism. of the human body. Kejuvenation will be an ordinary and well-recognized matter of a fe., injections at appro- priate intervals. "Before 2029 biologists will have solved some of the mysteries of hu- man heredity. Heredity is determined by certain 'genes' or units, minute bo- dies, so jmail that, if a hen'- egg were magulhed to the size of the world, one oc the genes in it w^ uld lie on a fair- sized dining-table. When biologists can control these, they will be able to control heredity. "Most probably by 2029 a clever young man will consider his fiancee's hereditary co.nplexion befoit propos- ing marriage; and the young woman of that day will refuse him because he has inherited a gei.e from his father that will predispose their children quarrelsomeness. By intelligtnt com- binations of suitable genes, it will be possible to predict with reasonable certainty that truly brilliant children shall be born of marriage. "It is possible, howevei, thj.i. by 2029 the whole quciion of human heredity and eugenics will be sv;allow- ed up by the pr' si)ect of ectogenetic birth. "By this is maur*; the dtvelopmont of a child from a fertilized cell out- side its mother's body â€" in a glass ves- sel filled with serum on a laboratory bench. The results of much research^ show that the connection betwetn a mother and her growing child are purely chemical; there is no valid reason why one day biologists should not be able perfectly to imitate the chemical connjctiou in the laboratory. Should ectogenesis ever become an established part of human society, its effects will be shattering. Marriage will become wholly changed. Further, the character ot the future Inhabitants could be determined by government. "Production will become so cheap, wealth will accumulate to iuch an e.K- tent that men will work as machine minders for one or two hours a day and be free to devote the .'est of their energies to whatever form of activity they enjoy. "It is conceivable tl.at not all these changes will have occurred by 2029. The progress of scientific discovery is checkered, and subject to no ascertain- able regularity or period. Halts in progress, however, are comparative and not final. "But it is not self-evident that all applications of scientific discovery de- serve the support of intelligent men and women. Because science has benefited humanity in the past, there is no reason why it always should do so in the future. A biological dis- covery may well plunge the wbrld into such a catastrophe as would destroy civilization for a thousand years. As you an reading these wordb some dis- interestefl researcher may detonate an | atomic explosion which will involve j the world and reduce it to a flaring vortex of incandescent gas." A PERFECT MEDIQNE FOR UHLE ONES Baby's Own Tablets Should be in Every Home Where There Are Children The perfect medicine for little ones is fouud in Baby's Own Tablets. They are a geulla but thorough lax- ative which regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomach; drive out cau- stipation and indigestion; break up colds and siu.ple fever and promote healthful and reireshing sleey. It Is impossible for Baby's Own Tablets to barm even the uew-born babe a they are absolutely guaranteed free from opiates or any otiier injurious drugs. Conceruiug them Mrs. Earl Taylor, Owen Sound, Unt., writes: â€" "1 have four children and have al- ways used Uaby's Own Tablets. 1 am never v;ilhoMt the Tablets in the house as they are the best medicine that 1 know of tor little ones." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail al 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' .\iediciue Co., Brockville, Out. The Amazing Mechanical Man WAITTSO. JQ Victorian Sl.iin|p«. II.

A short time ago he ap peared lu the role of buperhouse- keeper. He turned ou the electric stove, operated a vucuuiu cleaner aud blew a whistle wbeu the tbree-mluute eggs were done. Oraduatlug from his domestic duties, he uow serves is a doorman who counts the guests as they arrive, a >vatchmuu a trafllc policeman or a fireman, lu the last capacity he not only sounds the alarm but actually puts out the blaze, etuuin sUrdlu cmfwyp vbgkcij nifwyp On the lecture platform the robot appears quite manlike lu form. Es- pecially la this true of Eric, the Eng- lish gentleman who looks like a suit of medieval armor suddenly resurrect- ed. Televox, who grew up and learued his tricks In the Westinghouse labora- tory, will even talk, while his arms aud legs respond instantly to the proper bidding. Offstage tliey appear In a different guise. In his "working clothes" Tele- vox is no Jtore Imposing than an ordinary i;adio set. Iron Mike, who steers a ship at sea with greater ac- curacy than any helmsman who ever stood a watch at the wheel, Is dis- closed as a glorified gyroscope. Thus one perceives that the business of dressing up machifRirj tc resemble men as merely the Inventors' Joke. The Important thing Is the constantly Increasing range of '^e tasks which this "selective purpo.se" machinery is capable of accomplishing. The man In need of a shave may scoff at the Idea of Intrusting his whiskers to a mechanical barber, even though he knows that the robot will not talk. But It brings an en- tirely different appreciation of prog- ress lu his field to see the Biitish battleship Centurion sailing an intri- cate zigzag course with its band play- ing all the while, although there la not a single person m board. This robot of the sea la controlled by radio from vessels several miles distant. In many cities a mechanical "hello girl" is at the beck aud call of tele- phone subscribers. The country is rapidly becoming familiar with the dial apparatus which, with a few quick turns, selects the desired num- ber from the thousands listed In the directory. Telephone engineers de- clare that tho new system has practi- cally eliminated tho phraso "wrong number" from central's vocabulary. So tho robot Is learning to tell ripe oranges from green ones, to put white beans in one pile antf black beans in another, to operate electric substa- tions, to watch the water-level iu res- ervoirs, aud to pilot airplanes. Eric and Televox were uever intended, even by their Inventors, really to re- place men. Jut they hope to lift an increasing amount of the detail and drudgery from human tasks and thus release men tor endeavors ot greater scope and originality.- Christian Sci- ence Monitor. ..ilil.ics. iCVKur _ «. i).
