One Hundred Years Hence

An interesting little piece ran on the front page of the January 1, 1901 Newark Daily Advocate (Newark, Ohio). It expounded on the possibilities imagined for advancements in the year 2001. You can find it in the archives of the Paleofuture.com site
I just thought I'd make my own version of it. I love the jargon, concepts and language evolution.

One hundred years hence, what manner of marvels shall adorn our every-day?

Will a man's suit be decanted onto his person before breakfast, or might he take his morning constitutional fully exposed?

Will the steam locomotive require its daily coal concentrated in pastille form?

Will the men of congress tele-phone in the votes of their elected duty?

Will immigrant Moon men tend to dish-washing and street-sweeping as the Formosan or Spaniard does today?

Will the sweet nectar of the orange drip from the pulp in purple?

Will the seamstress employ a petite hammer and nails to hem a gown of gossamer metals?

Will airships serve as arks, traversing the ethers between worlds, to populate them with flora and fauna, two by two?

Will the cuisine of the Eskimo be vended at the neighbourhood grocery?

Will the cones of the spruce be bred to glow like candles on Christmas?

Will common currency be replaced by a small plastic card with a magnetic strip that tallies charges?

Will meat-loaf find its primary ingredient in the cracker barrel, rather than with the butcher?

Will chapeaux and bowlers be festooned with electric lights?

Will mammoth cats chase lap dogs down alleyways?

Will this endeavor prove more tedious than either clever or amusing?
