PARIS STUDENTS' RIOTS...
PARTY CARITAL SAID TO BE

The Paris correspondent of the Times, in a communication to his paper on April 1st stated:-

The blame for giving the whole" in- HONGKONG-BANGKOK LINE eident wrong, proportions rests with the extremists of the Opposition, who seem determined to use any riviality as a pretext for working up feeling against the Government. Out of the Sorbonne incident they havo extracted three separate lines of attack. They accuse the Minister of Public Instruction of political favouritism for appointing M. to a post at the University. Georges Scelle, a persoon friend of his, accuse the police of brutality towards the They ext
student demonstratora-the Government, of course, is again to blame. Finally they hold the suspension of M. Berthélemy Dean of the Faculty of Law. for not keeping his pupils in order, as an un- warranted excess" of "disciplinary au-

and so on.
There is no doubt that all of these will he propelled eletrically. A wire line will give power by radio, not only to motor. ears, buses, and so on, but will serve to propel pedestrians as well Each pedes trian will roli on electric skates. An insulated wire running from the skate to the head or shoulder of the skater will be sufficient to take the power from the radio line, and we shall be propelled electrically at a pace at least four or five times as fast as we walk to-day.
Underneath the first level we shall have the electric railway. This, however, will attain much greater speed than we know to-day, due to the different manner of construction, as well as to better track and other vital elements of construction. Below the railway we shall probably have continuous moving platforms. There will be three such platforms alongside of each ther. The rat will move at only a few miles an hour, the second at eight or ten miles an hour, and the third as twelve or fifteen miles an hour.
GROWING CROPS BY WIRELESS. Fifty years hence our scientists will have solved the problem of controlling the weather, at least so far as our cities Are roncerned. Huge high-frequency electric current structures placed on top of our largest buildings will either dispel threatening rain, or, if necessary. produce
rain.

The question is often asked. "What effect do wirless stations have on living beings and on planta At the present time, there is practically no effect, for the simple person that the stations send out a very small amount of power.
Fifty years from now, with super-radio stations generating millions or billions of kilowatts. the situation will probably change. By that time the high-frequency currents will have become sufficiently powerful to have a vitalizing affect on every human being. Our crops and plants will grow from two to, ten times as quickly and the crops will be more productive.
HOUSES LIKE THERMDS' FLASKS,
Certain experience upon insects and small animals have also shown an increa- sing growth tendency under such elcc- trification. I constant electrification in- creases the growth of plants ten-fold, it is not impossible that the effects on animal life and upon human beings muy be analogous. Under constant electrifica tion it niny be possible, a hundred years from now, that a child of six will be imentally and physically equal to the youth of eighteen to-day...
The future city will receive its power by radio from distant water-falls, or from sunlight power plants. Tremendous quan tities of coergy are going to waste to-day, all of which could he collected and sent to our large centres by wireless. Sunlight power plants will be sufficient to take care of the power for office buildings and amali manufacturing shops.
The tops of our tallest buildings "will be flat and glass-covered. They will have platforms on which all kinds of nero- plines, or even the trans-Atlantic planes | of the future, will land.
SEEING BY TELEPHONE.
In the winter all of our buildings will be warns and in the summer they will be cool The future buildings and houses will be built on the principle of a Thermos flask. Each wall will be double, and the space between the walls will be filled with cork of some other poor heat conductor.
Fifty years hence we shall not use electric bulbs which white over 88 per ceat, of the caergy put into then we shal} have cold light, and we shall utilize near

of it away in, wasteful heat.A
Films by wireless? Why not 17! You will be able to have a moving picture pro duced in some central plant and projected in your home, the pictures being sent by radio and received and projected upon. your screen.
Filly years hence we shall surely have
the "telephot, whereby we shall be en- abled to see each other over the telephone, instead of being satisfied with the voics, as we are today.
M. Scelle's appointment may have been a mistake and the Government may have! gone too far in suspending M. Barthé lemy, but it is folly to make this the starting point for new campaign of political agitation and a new cause of unnecessary disunion in the State. In suspendnig M. Berthélemy the. Gov. ernment certainly seems to have com- nitted a tactical error, since it has made the object of demonstrations of him sympathy which are capable of being ex- ploited against the Government.
