The Coming Man.

Hera are some remarkable prop-1 hreies by men of science m answer to j the question: "Looking as far intoC the future as your mind's eye can see, I what changes are likely to occur to' our brains, bodies, and environments-?' "Man of the distant future," ?ays Prpfessnr Oti* Mason (according to the Providence Journal) "will occupy h belt near the Fquator. The earth is cooling, and as a result the Esquimo .most leave the.Polar regions Later, .the Yankee must quit New England All savage people will bi elinaia^ed from the earth. The en'ire huimn race will be ' brunettp. The blonde people were once hrunetfe, and bee m^ ■m they are tbrongh some proceej of interbreeding. The convolutions of the brain will be larger and will admit a much greater blood-flow to carry on the commerce of che mind. Man will be stronger physically. His hands and feet will be much smaller. Labour SRving machinery will reduce physical lubonr, but an increase of athletes will make the raca stronger. Disappear ance of small printing type will leave the eyes much stronger, The ear can never Uke the place of an wye until some other heavenly body can be sub stitut d for the aun. The hat will vanish and the hair will improve. " The home of this age will bo * great; c'-mnaunal dwelling where all the same kinship will live under the same roof—children, parents, grand parents, ancles, aunts, and cousins Bspid transit will eliminate sky scrapere, increased artifieialisation of life w ill render co-operationmore neces sary. Separale establishments, such as the corner grocery, will be considered absurdities of byegone days, as will also the keeping of servants. Ohemi caliy pare drinking water will free the cells oi fche body from mineral matter and permit man to live to the age of Mothu&elah. The death of an infant will be an exception, whereas today one half of tha human race never mature. The deadly microbe will suffer the fate of such dangerous animal peats as have already been made extinct People who spread diaeaae will be con sidered as enemies to mankind—pua« Ishable by severe penalties. Dress will be more perfectly adapted to comfort, health, longevity, and beauty. It will never be deprived of ornamentation > and women and men will never dress alike. " Dr Theodore N Gill, the eminent biologist of Smithsonian Institute, said that the wisdom teeth would disappear as would possibly the vermiform appen dix and the little toe. " Man himself " said he, " is a striking evidence of the fact that he was not specially created, He is not only like the ape, bufc bears the impress of many inferior stocks, The appendix, for instance, was inheri ted from ancestors to whom it was im portant, and came to us through the apes from primitive forms, Bomewhat like marsupials. It may appear to a eitght extent. The grey matter of the brain may increase somewhat m bulk, bat cerebration is not; dependent upon size of brain Some of the most intellectual have small brains. It is possible that the litfclp toe will disappear, bufc doubtful. It has its uae m giving greater basis to the foot. I doubt whether there will be an increase m statnre, especially since m the future in'ellectuality will be more and mere predominant over brute force. In the first place, every man will he white/ said Professor W J McGee, the noted ethnologist, m reply to the ques tion. :His average height and weight will be decidedly greater. His head will be larger, *»b3olutely and relatively. His hands and brain will be co-ordinated ancij therefore, he will be a better mechanician. His vision will be stronger, his sense of emell more acute, *ud his hearing and sense of taste more delicate. On the whole, the man of the faturo will be stronger m relation to stature and weight. He will K?e under a universal, republican govern ment, bat it is doubtful whether any one administrative head will be required. There will be a universal language—a composite "of all present tongues, but, like the' English, ■ language of vocables and syntax. Phonetic spelling will effect graat economy m both printing and writing. The type writer will be m universal use because quicker and better for the eyes than the old methods. Fiah will be rela tively more important as food. Oceans and lakes will be the maici source of fond supply. ••Heed of clotllag wilt diminish! Control of temperature will be met by other than our present retail methods. There will be so set-ioua exposure to cold. In'winter men will travel m well heated vehicles carrying them from one warm building to another- Ozone will be sold ab drug afcore?, and wili be applied to kill bacilli as soon as they appear.. The earth will be an endless succession of suburbs. Cities meanwhile will grow less and less dense. The street block or row will be no more. The home will be more indiv idual, each family occupying a separate house to suit fits peculiar baste. Trans portation will be chit fly electric and will be much irore rajii aea result of straigh tening and multiplicatian of tracks. Aerial navigation will be valuable only for sports and amusement. Ib will not be a factor m warfare. Submarine navigation will be valuable only as a means of escape from storms. Vessels will be equipped with meana of diving and remaining below the aarface until storms blow over. Petf ction of telegraphy will decrease mail business. Money will remain a medium of exchange, but financial transactions will be made mostly by negotiable paper, for which individuals will be more responsible than Governments. Religion wi'l be more oi an Jndividual sentiment). There will be I an e.lmlna'ion of creeds. As progress or mature grows more complete, ruaa will rely less and leea upon the occult. Punishment will be obsolete. All children will receive the foundation of their edoca* fejpn In public echools Universities and private institutions of learning will give only special training. Children will have to study lens, will learn spontaneously, and will be encouraged to do what their minds naturally lead them to piefer. Sex oi children will be predetermlnable."
