"What May Happen in the Next Hundred Years"

"These prophecies will seem strange, almost impossible. Yet they have come from the most learned and conservative minds in America. To the wisest and most careful men in our greatest institutions of science and learning I have gone, asking each in his turn to forecast for for me what, in his opinion, will have been wrought in his own field of investigation before the dawn of 2001--a century from now. These opinions I have carefully transcribed."

John Elfreth Watkins, Jr., predicts the future in a Ladies' Home Journal article from December 1900.
