Excerpt
"These things are quite improbable, to be sure;" wrote L. Frank Baum more than a century ago, "but are they impossible?"
"Our big world rolls over as smoothly as it did centuries ago, without a squeak to show it needs oiling after all these years of revolution. But times change because men change, and because civilization, like John Brown's soul, goes ever marching on."
"The impossibilities of yesterday become the accepted facts of to-day."
