by which this enormous waste will be saved. When it is done the production of 

 power will be revolutionized. The result will have an incalculable influence upon 

 the material progress of civilization. It will enable an ocean liner to cross the 

 ocean in three days with an expenditure of about one-tenth the amount of fuel 

 now required. 



"Within a few years electricity will run the world. It is bound to do so. 

 The greatest enterprises to-day are those on an electrical basis. Electricity and 

 nothing else will be the great force of the future." 



Bishop Samuel Fallows of the Reformed Episcopal Church predicts that we

"A world beyond the senses is already a settled fact, a fact certified to 

 by scientific investigation and without appeal to exceptional phenomena. This 

 conviction is reinforced by the phenomena of X-ray, wireless telegraphy and 

 radio-active substances. 



"The field of psychopathology will soon be occupied for both philanthropic 

 and scientific work. An institute for psychic research will provide for study 

 and therapeutic treatment of certain types of functional mental diseases — 

 insanity, hallucination, secondary personality and such troubles as may yet be 

 made to yield to hypnotic suggestion."

 longer life, sex determined before birth, and the development of a race of
