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. I 10.

Cables now underlie all the seven seas.* 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. 21.

Vaccination for smallpox was first practiced by .ten ner in 1769, but. was regarded with such suspicion that it was not generally re sorted to until far into the nineteenth 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. 11.

In the early years of the coun from 1887. there are now upward of • , I try it took thirty days to cross the Around the World in 15. Four-day Oeean Finer. — The 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.

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. 34.

SOLD BY ALL DRUGGISTS. the manufacture of paper from wood 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- heim. later produced a vastly improved pulp paper. The annual export of pa per from the United States is valued at §9,856,733.
