A HUNDRED YEARS HENCE.

M. Jules Uois, the distinguished French writer who has discovered so much concerning ancient civilisation. has giver, his iaeas as 10 the changes likely to take place in Europe in 100 years' time. Tne great cities, he predicts, will he practically uninhabited except for business purposes during the daytime. All classes will live in the country or in garden cities at considerable distance:, from the towns, to which access will be cheap and extremely rapid owing t«. the enormous development of ;iil methods of conveyance, i'r;<m pneumatic railways to Hying cars. Tho motor car will have gone completely out of fashion, but the bicycle, in a new form, will he once more in favor, for a sort of living bicycle will be invented which will enable the rider to soar in mid-air.• The average height of Europeans will he increased : so will the average length of life. Entirely new views will prevail concerning" the beauty of women, for women themselves will be great!;, chaifged; their beauty will bo combined with muscular power and courage. Parliamentary institutions, M. Bois believes, will be greatly modified; indeed, will almost have disappeared; and nations will be governed by delegates of various castes. All existing aristocracies will have become completely blotted out, but a new form of aristocracy, brought into being by the general alteration of the conditions of life, will be socially and politically powerful. French will become the great international language.
