Great Works Ahead Yet Extend From Ancient Times
The article argues engineering progress relies on experience but future feats may exceed past limits. It cites vast modern expenditures on railways, telegraphs, seas, docks, and sanitation, and notes wealth growth depends on such useful works rather than luxuries or war. It discusses future innovations and the unknowns of physics. It reports on lectures and abstracts from various sections, including Rolleston on anthropology and craniology, and remarks on the Channel Tunnel and aboriginal Weddas.
