In the ancient times the seven wonders
of the world were: Pyramids,
Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Temple
of Diana at Kphesus, Statute of
Olympian Jupiter, the .Mausoleum. Colossus
of Rhodes, and the lighthouse
of Alexandria. The growth of science
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
I ... Ilw. Wi -~l...... .U- 1-t-l
uvvwiu IV/ I it v. U1IU1COO tut CUUtlUll' |MJsition
of being Urst of che 111 ode in Seven
Wonders of tiie World. Following ii
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
. any noted men of science in various
countries. Wireless received 244 votes
as against lt>5 for the Telephone, its
nearest rival. The X-Ray received
111, although 100 were cast for the
Panama Canal.
This lisr is interesting when compared
with that made up by Antipater,
the Badeker of Sidou, some two centuries
before Christ.
He heads his 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
Artemisia and the Colossus of Rhodes.
Of the seven wonders of the Modern
World all are of incalculable benefit to
man: all mark meat stens forward in
his inarch of triumph.
A comparison with 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.
ify Julius Kruttschnitt.
Thg 1 nion and Southern Pacific Railroad
systems are now reaping the
benefits of years of consistent effort to
promote safety of travel cu 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 tha:
time 157,000,000 passengers were safely
carried to their destinations on its liues,
traveling an average distance of fortytwo
miles, or a total of 6,594,000,000
miles, or 205,000 times around the
world. The Union Pacific, in approximately
the same period, fell short ol
this perfect record by but a single accident
resulting in the death of one passenger.
Without attempting to make in
Yimous comparisons, it may ne stated
that these records, covering nearly 17,250
miles, surpass those of the railroads
FOB TENDER FEET.
Everybody should know Tyree's Antiseptic
Powder and use It freely for this
painful and annoying condition, because
its first application brings the parts up
to a state of immediate relief and resistance
to further pam and annoyance.
Its use is a pleasure, not a pain.
Its action iB prompt, positive, and permanent.
Get a twenty-five cent box at
any drug Btore (or by mail) anl If you
are not thoroughly pleased with its
action, return the empty box to the
druggist, or to us, and get your money
back without question. J. S. Tyree,
Chemist, Washington, D. C.
N OF THE SOUTH
jf Ureai llrtllau, covering 23.000 miles,
which are considered models of safety.
That this remarkable showing is the rc
suit of something more than chance is I
obvious, ami it may be well to point out
In iefly what has been <lone by the
management to carry out its policy of
"Safety First" in the operation of its
properties. Within the past live years
$5,000,000.00 have been expended in installing
automatic block signals. Every
mile of the lines of the Union l'acitic
systems to San Francisco, Ixjs Augcies
and Portland is now protected.
To reduce to a minimum the hazard
oi accident, taese systems, during the
past ten years, liave been drilling their
trainmen in the observance or danger
signals by a system of surprise tests,
the results of which have been very
satisfactory, showing of approximately
20,000 tests made during the past year,
00 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.
This is doue by convening a
Hoard of Inquiry composed of division
oliicers 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 lo
v iiuu. uwijnu> ci's cue t*uuuui tigeu LU
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
' Rternal vigilance is the price of
safety."
IS LIME BENEFICIAL]
Au 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 or
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
Bubject may obtain copies of this folder
by addressing W. W. Finley, President,
Southern Railway Company, Washington,
