Author: Falconbridge [More Titles by Falconbridge]

In fifty years the steam engine will be as old a notion, and as queer an
invention, as the press Ben. Franklin worked is now. In fifty years,
copper-plate, steel-plate, lithography, and other fine engravings, will
be multiplied for a mere song, in a beautiful manner, by the now
infantile art of Daguerreotyping. A passage to California will then be
accomplished in twenty-four hours, by air carriages and electricity; or,
perhaps, they'll go in buckets down Artesian holes, clean through the
earth! The arts of agriculture and horticulture will produce hams ready
roasted, natural pies, baked with all sorts of cookies. About that
time, a man may live forever at a cent a day, and sell for all he's
worth at last--for soap fat!
