MARVELS TO COME.

The great inventor, Nikola Tesla, according to the ' New Penny Magazine, 1 predicts that quite a number of marvellous inventions will see the light during the present century. Amnog these are : A system of "wireless telegraphy by which a message can be sent clear around the world. Elec-

trical production of ozone for sterilising water, to rid it of its many impurities. The manufacture of artifical food by oixdised hydrogen. The flying machine will be a fact. It will not bring universal peace, as soma suppose. Same nation will lule the air as well as the sea. Future developments will tend to diminish the number of individuals engaged in battle. This will bring intj use a machine which can be operated by the fewest possible individuals. The perfection of the telautoinaton, a machine having all its bodily movements controlled from a distance without wires. Telautomatics are applicable to any machine that moves on the land, in water, or in air. The transmission of electrical energy through the earth without a wire ; a system to draw energy from the sun. The electrolytic process cf extracting iron from ore, and moulding it into required forms "without fuel consumption. The electrolytic manufacture of aluminium and its gradual extermination of copper and, possibly, iron. A self-act-ing engine, capable i.-f deriving energy from its own motioii.
