operations has been reduced from *50 to
| barely 1." per rent., which fact i j re

li. Wireless Telegraph. Prof. A. ( .
i Steinhell, of Munich, gave the world
the first clear anticipation of wireless
telegraphy in 1840, but nothing practi
cal resulted until Shoemaker, the in
ventor, and Mar ori. about 1898, made
j the "wireless” a solid and substantial
success. It saved hundreds of lives ir.
i a recent steamship collision. Messages
| are now transmitted 2,miles.

of marine telegraphy assured. Cables

19. Harvester.—Henry Ogle, of En
gland. conceived the key idea of the
modern mowing machine in 1-22. The
machines of to-day are simply improve
ments on Ogle’s idea. A single stem
reaper on the Dakota wheat farms does
the work of eighty men with far great
er dispatch and efficiency than men
could effect.
20. Rotary Pro-.-. The first cylinder
press was patented in Germany in 1 SI 1
by Frederick Kor.ig. The rotary press,
in primitive form, was patented by
Nicholson in 1791, but the Walter press
invented by McDonald and Calverley
(180?-ilk) was a great practical ad
vance. The best modern machines
print, paste and. fold 00,000 papers an
hour.

century.
3. Electric Eight.-Sir Humphrey
Davy produced the first electric light
in 1802, but it was thirty years after
(hat the first electric light that could
tie regarded as practical was seen that
of Jules Duson. Thomas A. Edison in-j height record
vented in 1880 the incandescent light, |
modern match is the safety match,
made in Sweden and Norway.
13. Flying Machine. — The first to
demonstrate the practicability of navi
gating the air with a heaviep-than-aif
machine were the Wright brothers, of
Dayton, Ohio. They made their first
great achievement in 190. Glenn C'nr-
| tis holds the speed record of forty-nine
I miles an hour, Bleriot the distance re-
I cord of 140 miles, and the Wrights the
700 feet.

steamship Lusitania, on its trip end
ing in this port September 3 last,
made the course from Hunt’s Rock to
the Ambrose Channel lightship in four
days eleven hours and forty-two mir.-
an
150,000 automobiles in use in the Uni
led State alone. The speed record is
ten miles in 'eight minutes and twenty-
three and one-fifth seconds.
0. Diamond Drill The present dia
mond drill is an improvement upon the
first drill with a hollow boring rod in
vented by Fauvelle and exhibited in
France in 184G. It is indispensable in
modern mining and oil well work. It
will sink 2,000 feet, giving a complete
core of the strata through which it
cuts.
7. Tunnels.—The first great tunnel
project of the century was to bore a rail
road tube under the British channel. It
was abandoned in 1803, but may yet be
done. The boring of Simplon Tunnel,
21,676 yards long, was completed in
1905. It cost S14.O00.000. The tunnels
under the Hudson and East rivers are
among the greatest feats in engineer
ing.
8. Antiseptics. Anitseptics for the
prevention of disease were discovered
by l>r. Joseph Lister, of Edinburg, in j plan in 1857. A cable was laid in 1858
At
lantic.
16. Telephone.—To Alexander Gra
ham Bell belongs the credit of the in
vention of the first practical tele
phone, in 1875. It was at first consid
ered a toy. Now more than 81,000,-
000,000 are invested in its indispensa
ble use. It is regarded as having
reached perfection in its present form,
hut experiments with the wireless tel
ephone are promising.
17. Locomotive. — In 1S14 George
Stephenson’s locomotive was run in
England at six miles an hour. The
modern engines ol" highest development
have a speed of ninety-nine miles an
hour. There are 58,301 locomotives
now operated in the United States over
254,982 miles of track. Peter Cooper
built the first locomotive in America in
1830.
18. Atlantic Cable. To Cyrus W.
Field belongs the main honor of laying
the first ocean cable. He conceived the

_2. Submarines.—Although a primi
tive submarine beat was built by a
Dutchman named L rebell in 1771, and
Robert Fulton experimented with a
similar boat in France, the effective
war submarine i- a development of
the last fifteen years. The Holland and
Lake submarines descend fifty to sev
enty-five feet and remain under indefi
nitely.
23. Skyscraper.—The construction of
lofty buildings is a development of the
last twenty-five years. They were
made practicable by the invention of
the electric elevator. The loftiest sky
scraper in the world was completed
only this year—the Metropolitan build
ing in New York. It is 657 feet, 5
inches high.
24. X-Ray.—Prof. VV. C. P.oentgen,
on Ocf. 8. 1895, while experimenting
with a Crooke’s tube, observed that
some rays proceeding from the tube
passed through the black paper and af
fected a fluotrescer.t. Thus he hit upon
the great discovery of the X-Ray. by
which the interior of our bodies is now
photographed.
25. Specrtum.—The spectroscope, so
essential to astronomical research and
by means of which it is possible to an
alyze the substances of the most dis
tant planets and say whether they are
gaseous, solid or liquid, was perfected
by Gustav Robert Kirchoff, of Germany,
working in conjunction with Bunsen, in
1895.
26. Discovery of North Pole.—Dr.
Frederick A. Cook, of Brooklyn, an
nounced on Sept. 2, 1909, that he had
discovered the North Pole on April 21,
1008. Five days later Commander
Robert E. Peary telegraphed that he
had reached the pole on April 6, 1909.
American scientists have yet to ex
amine complete records of the claims.
27. Origin of Species.—It was by the
publication of Darwin’s celebrated
book, "The Origin of Species,” in
1859, that biological science was revo
lutionized. The work at once changed
the whole current of human thought
and is regarded by many as the great
est epoch-making book ever written.
28. Typewriter.—M. Foucault sent
to the Paris exhibition in 1855 a writ
ing machine for the blind. After suc
cessive improvements the P.emir.gton
typewriter, invented in 186S by S. L.
Sholes, of Milwaukee, was placed on the
market in 1873. The record for speed
on a typewriter is 208 words a minute.
29. Bessemer Steel.—Sir Henry Bes
semer first made steel by passing cold
air through liquid iron in 1856. Twen
ty tons of crude iron have been convert
ed into cast steel in twenty-three min
utes. Steel bridges and skyscraper
buildings were the children of Besse
mer’s brain. ,
30. Cotton Gin.—Although the saw
gin for the separation of cotton from
the pod was invented by Eli Whitney
an American, in 1793, the revolution in
the industry which it produced may be
said to be a feature of the last century.
1 he export of cotton from the United
States alone in 1907 was 9,036,434
bales. The 1908 crop was 11.5S2.000
bales.
31. Photography.—The first to found
a process of photography which gave
pictures that light could not dim was
Thomas Wedgwood, (London, 1802.)
Niepee accomplished better results in
1814. Instantaneous photography was
invented in 1881 and was first perfected
by E. J. Muybridge in the Univeristy
of Pennsylvania.
32. Telegraph.—The telegraph was
invented between 1832 and 1842 by Sam
uel F. B. Morse. He established the
first working telegraph line in 1844 be
tween Washington and Baltimore. The
first message was sent on May 24 of
that year. More than l.ToO.OOO miles
wire are row in operation in the
United States.
83. Steamboat.—The first steamboat,
Clermont, was built by Robert Fulton
in 1807. It made its maiden trip flora
New York to Albany in thirty-two
hours, its average speed being five
miles an hour. The Clermont is now
followed by the Lusitania, crossing
the ocean in 108 hours at a speed of al
most twenty-six knots an hour.

pulp was taken out in Italy in 1S2S.
Des Grand, Johnson and Newton added
improvements. Houghton took out a
patent about 1857. Volter, of Heiden-

pulp paper. The annual export of pa
