feelings of amused pity ait we ijbTBHfT
for the state of the Havageft of pre
historic times.
The scientist predicts among other
things that In IM'JO A. !>. all public
thoroughfares and parks will be un
derground, vehicles will be run by
wireless, telephone** will carry an at
tachment enabling the speakers to see
each other, and all roads will be as
smooth as billiard balls.
I)r. Low, | who Invented a motor
scooter and bus piyaluced an apparat
us for seeing simple objects by wire.
In a recent Interview In London said
In part :
"When a man sets out for business
ho will not proceed, us he does now,
by tramway car or train; lie will pass
along delightful avenues underneath
the surface of the earth. Parks and
all other places' of public resort and
beauty will be roofed In.
"Motor cars and all motor vehicles
will proceed by wireless power and not
by-fho crude method of using petrol.
They will be fitted up like luxuriously
appointed drawing ronjns and will be
driven at a rate of one hundred miles
an hour. Wireless telephones will be
Installed In the cars, as well as every
kind of appointment making for luxury
and comfort. Many people will own
these ,cars.
"People will live In a condition of
splendid physical Isolation. Televis
ion ? that Is, the ability to see your
absent friend over a distance of many
mlles-^and wireless telephony will lead
to this condition.
"This vision Is not extravagant or a
wild. sot fff theories. It Is the direction
|n which selontlfU' dUcovurlo* and ox*
perlments tend. Many scientific men
have come face to face with discover
les and Inventions, which are only sep
arated. from actual realization by a
simple little difficulty, which will cer
tainly be overcome in time."
