MODERN SEVEN WONDERS.
lu the ancient times the seven wonders
of the world were: Pyramids,
Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Temple
of Diana at Ephesus, Statute of
Olympian Jupiter, the Mausoleum, OoIobsub
of Rhodes, and the lighthouse
of Alexandria. The growth of sclenc^
and invention is set forth remarkably
clear in the character and magnitude
of these "wonders."
According to a vote recently taken
by a magazine, the greatest scientists
accord to the Wireless the enviable position
of being first of the modern Seven
Wonders of the World. Following it
comes the Telephone, the Aeroplane,
Radium, Antiseptics and Antitoxin,
Spectrum Analysis and the X-Ray.
This order was evolved from nearly
seven hundred replies from as
iiany noted men of science in various
countries. Wireless received 244 votes
as against 185 for the Telephone, its
nearest rival. The X-Ray received
111, although 100 were cast for the
Panama Canal.
mis list is interesting when compared
with that made up by Antipater,
the Badeker of Sidon, some two centuries
before Christ.
He heads hiB selection of wonders
of the world he knew with the Pyramids.
Following these comes the famous
Pharos Lighthouse at the entrance
of Alexandria harbor, the Hanging
Gardens of Babylon, the Statute of Jupiter
by Phidias, the Mausoleum of

Of the seven wonders of the Modern
World all are of incalculable benefit to
man; all mark great steps forward in
his march of triumph.
A comparison witth the ancient list is
an eloquent demonstration that the advance
of the race has been along .the
lines of the greatest good for the greatest
number, luxury was the password
of the ancients; usefulness that of the
present.?Monitor.
SAFETY OF RAILROAD TRAVEL.
By Julius Kruttschnitt.
The Union and Southern Pacific Rail
iuau o> aniiiib are now reaping tne
benefits of years of consistent effort to
promote safety of travel on their lines,
and their success has been such as to
inspire even greater future effort. Within
a period of four years the record of
the Southern Pacific is absolutely clear,
?not one single passenger lost his life
through a collision or derailment of its
trains. This means that during that
time 157,000,000 passengers were safely
carried to their destinations on its lines,
traveling an average distance of fortytwo
miles, or a total of 6,594,000,000
miles, or 265.000 tim#?s * nn?i ih?
world. The Union Pacific, in approximately
the same period, fell short of
this perfect record by but a single accident
resulting in the death of one passenger.
"Without attempting to make invidious
comparisons, it may be stated
that these records, covering nearly 17,250
miles, surpass those of the railroads
FOB TENDER FEET.
Everybody should know Tyree's Antiseptic

,N OF THE SOUTH
of Great Brltlan, covering 23,000 miles,
which are considered models of B&fety.
That this remarkable showing is the re
suit of something more than chance is
obvious, and it may be well to point out
briefly what has been done by the
management to carry out Its policy of
"Safety First" in the operation of its
properties. Within the past five years
$5,000,000.00 have been expended in installing
automatic block signals. Every
mile of the lines of the Union Pacific
.systems to San Francisco, L<os Angeles
and Portland is now protected.
To reduce to a minimum the hazard
of accident, these systems, during the
past ten years, have been drilling their
trainmen in the observance of danger
signals by a system of surprise tests,
the results of which have been very
satisfactory, showing of approximately
20,000 teBts made during the past year,
99 per cent, were fully respected, and
pratically all of those classed as "failures"
were respected sufficiently to have
averted accident.
Every accident involving a hazard of
human life is promptly investigated to
determine the cause and to prescribe, if
possible, the remedy against a recurrence.
ThlB is done by convening a
Board of Inquiry composed of division
officers and two or more prominent citizens,
as representatives of the public.
The findings of the board of inquiry are
given freely to the press for publication
and are transmitted with all data
to the president, who, if the report is
not conclusive, may convene successive
boards of inquiry and employ technical
experts If necessary until the real cause
is determined and the responsibility located.
Employees are encouraged to
make suggestions in the interest of increased
safety and their suggestions are
systematically and carefully considered
by committees appointed for that purpose.
Through the frequent distribution
of Government reports of investigations
of important accidents and company
bulletins, all employees are taught that
"Eternal vigilance is the price of
safety."
IS LIME BENEFICIAL!
An investigation made by President
Finley, of the Southern Railway system,
has shown that experts in the chemistry
of soils are unanimously of the
opinion that lime in some form will
benefit many of the soils of the Southeastern
States by correcting their
acidity and Improving their mechanical
condition.
President Finley has secured the
opinions of experts throughout the
Southeastern States and also in the
Eastern and Middle States, in some of
which experiments with the use of lime
have been carried on for a long series
of years. These opinions have been
published in an illustrated folder which
is being widely distributed among the
farmers In the territory traversed by
the lines of the Southern Railway
System.
Farmers and others interested in this
subject may obtain copies of this folder
by addressing W. W. Finley. President,
