PACT VERIFIES FICTldN
NfcJAKLY fiCly years ago Sir Edward Bulwcr-Lytton
published "The Ooinlntr Race." an imainnative novel
dealing with the development of electricity and itt effect
upon humanity.
The narrator, while exploring the workings of a mine,
tumbles through a dee) shaft, recovering consciousness in
an underground world where humanity has reached a
much higher state of development, both mentally and
physically, is apparent on earth's surface. Among other
acquired accomplishments is the art of flying, not with
an aeroplane, but with attachable wings.
"The Coining Race" should be a source of never-ending
joy to the militant suffragette, for the females of this
future race are superior to the males the women stronger
and larger than the men, and as becomes their superioritV,
they are the bosses. The narrator is adjudged a barbar
ian, but saved from speedy death by the love he inspires
in one of these women, who smuggles him back to earth.
When the "Coining Race" is attacked by hostile na
tions, who inarch in countless numbers with flying ban
ners, huge standing armies, armed as the standing armies
of Europe are armed, with long-range cannon and modern
weapons, who, though as civilized as the nations of the
earth, arc dubbed barbarians, some of the small boys are
sent to meet them with small electrical weapons, which
shoot lightning and blast entire armies from a long dis
tance.
That Bulwer was not so far off from future develop
ments along scientific lines is shown by the following dis
patch: Florence, Italy. Feb. 13. Exploding torpedoes from a lone distance by
means of ultra-violet ras was an experiment carried out successfully todjy
by Slgnor Ullvl.
Two torpedoes charsed with smokeless Kunponder and two otbcrj
filled with black powder wero placed In the River Arna by Admiral Fornarl.
Tho ultra-violet ray apparatus was posted on the tower of tho I'alazzo Car
ponl, two miles away. When the signal was given the appartus as put
in motion, and In less than 3 minutes all four torpedoes were exploded.
If a torpedo can be exploded from long distance by the
ultra-violet rays, so can any powder magazine on or off
a warship. The ultra-violctfrays sound the death knell of
the modem battleship. All tho millions of the people's
money, wrung by taxation and taken from legitimate de
velopment, and poured in the dreadnoughts of the world
is wasted money.
The passing of war as an occupation for civilization is
being hastened by science. Soon it will be possible to
nnmnilate the armies and navies ot the world by unseen
and unheard agencies, even jus the boys of the Coining
Jtace blasted the armies ot the barbarians as in the visions
Bulwer conjured up half a century ago.
Thus is fact verifying fiction.
