the year &00 and described tha transformed
civilization as ha found It In Boston after
his sleep of 113 years.
In 1887 the book was interesting because
of the marvellous Inventions tha author
dreamed would come Into use In a little
mora than century. It Is Interesting to
day because ' In less than two deeadoa
'many of these creations of fancy have
crystallised Into realltlea, and aoma of
them have been developed far beyond tha
.Miitoat rushta of Bellamy's Imagination.
One of the moat striking Illustrations of
thle la tha final perfection of the dyna
mophone, a wonderful electrical Invention
for producing scientifically perfect muslo
and which Is now being Installed In a
building not far from the Metropolitan
Opera House. In New York. When In
stalled, tha great musical Invention-will
supply over telephonlo wires all kinds of
' musto, not only to homes, theatres and
churches In the city, but lta production
will be transmitted to adjacent localitlea
wherever high grade music Is desired at a
' nominal cost.
rin. nt eh a moat Interesting chapter! In
"Looking Backward" waa a description of
Just such a dlatrlbutlon of muslo aa this.
Whan tha author awakened from hla long
leap ha found that resident of Boston
no longer left their homos to enjoy tha
beat muslo. At any hour of tha day or
- nivht one had but to touch a button and
tha room was flooded with any sort of
; rausin one desired. But wis musto pro-
. ceeded from central music rooms In vart
rnii n.rta ef tha city, where trained must-
. clans ware constantly employed, the
' strains of their Instruments or voloes being
almply transmitted over wire.
Hero Is an Instance where tha reality
', of 106 has far eclipsed what Bellamy
dreamed would be accomplished In WOO.
Dr. Thaddeus CahlU'o dynamophone doaa

to be mora perfect and pleasing than is
C stole to produce with voles or musical
trumenls and sends It over the wires
with undiminished volume and tons qual

tone from electrical vibrations, requlrlrg
hundreds of dynamos to produce the re
suits. Dr. CahlU haa been at work on it
for many years, and the first Instrument,
which is now being Installed in New York.
will cost more than 1200,000. It requires
several trained musicians to operate it,
throuKh the medium of a great keyboard.
. and. in the opinion of experta. bids fair to
revolutionize the musical world.
In the July number of McClure'e Maga
in' eleven pages are devoted to a da
acriptton of lr. CahlU's Invention. About
the same amount .of space waa given In
Bellamy's book to substantially tha same
creation, but which existed only In his
Imagination, twenty years ago. Read aide
by aide, the words describing the reality
are Ilka an echo of the language of the
dream.
. ' In "looking Backward" the author
employs a thread of romance to carry
the etory. He describes himself as awak

ELECTRICITY IN SMELTING.
THE Canadian government In 1904 sent
a commission, headed by Dr. Haanel
superintendent of mines, to Europe to
Inquire Into the different electro-thor-mla
processes for the smelting of Iron ores
and the making of steel. Careful In
vestigation of ths various processes used
at different points was made, and the re
sult reported on the return of the com
mission was so favorable that the Cana
dian government decided to make further
experiments and tests with Canadian
ores, and selected Bault Bainte Marie as
the point where they should be made. Prep
arations for making these tests wsrs com
menced In November, 1106, under the di
rection of Dr. Heroult. of La Pres.
France, the Inventor of ths process bear
ing his name. Ths experiments were mads
under the supervision or Dr. Haansl and
Dr. Heroult, and wars oonoluded on March
t. Ths result was telegraphed by Dr.
Haansl to Ottawa aa follows:
' "flujcessful demonstration of all points
stated la my memorandum on efectrie
smelting of Canadian iron ores requlree
Investigation. Output greater than fiurs
adopted by Harbord In report of commis
sion. Suoocssful substitution of charcoal,
and therefore of seat for coke."
Ths sxpsrlmsnts were made with hema
tite, magnetite and tltanlo orea taken from
various places, some of which Dr. Haansl
could not treat commercially by any other
known prooesa. The furnaoe used was
about JJO horse power and produced from
two to three tons per day. Ores containing
4 pr cent of sulphur contained, when
treated, 0 063 per cent la ths metal. About
109 tons of ors was trsated, making tt tons
Of iron, of mostly car wheel quality. Ths
pyrrhotlts referred to by Dr. Haanel waa
roasted nlcksllforous or from ths nickel
mines near Sudbury. No serious dlftV-ulty
was anooun tared In ths making of ths ex
perl menu; everything worked smooth and
sasy. - .
Both Dr. Haanel and Dr. Heroult as
sert that ths Vests fully demonstrate tha:
ths erooesa Is a commercial suueess. No
full detailed statsmeut will be given to the
publlo until report Is made to the govern
ment, but Dr. Haanel aays that aa soon
as hta report Is made out It will be for
warded to the Department of commerce
and Labor at Washington. The two prin
cipal points that have been demonatrated
are that ths electrical process Is good so
for as the ore is concerned. In that it pro
duces a superior quality of Iron; that sul
phuric, titanic and other impure iron ores
heretofore considered useless can be used.
and that it la commercially feasible from
an economical point of view.
