Fairy Tales and Future Kilts: X Marks in a Hundred?

[Bugbear]

It's always interesting to me to come across writings of what someone invisions the distant future to be like. I was looking up a few things in Erik Christian Haugaard's translations of Hans Christian Andersen's (1800's), The Complete Fairy Tales and Stories (Random House, 1974). I noticed "The Millennium" and was reminded of XMTS and Panache's written adventures here on the forum that manifested in the little airship traveling the world from X Marker to X Marker.
It's under the title "In a Thousand Years" in Project Gutenberg's Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen (EBook #27200).
