SEVEN WONDERS OF TODAY.
They Will Probably Become the Com*
monplacee of Tomorrow,
Not a greet muny years ago a spec
tacled and skeptical old scientist wrote
a long tbcsla In which be < laimcd that
the world's great discoveries all lay ir. |
the past, that the future had do new
wonders to disclose and that all the 1
really fundamental Inventions, discov- |
erics and researches had already beeu 1
made,
"For." said the iiessimistic philoso
pher. "there arc no more strange lands
to explore, no more conceivable inven
tions for tbe benefit of mankind Tbe 1
telegraph, electric light, telephone and •
electric motor arc already here. Tbe ;
camera and microscope. telesco|>e and
linotype, printing press and sewing
machine, airship and steumlKtat are
already discovered. What else is there
left that is really new?"
But Mother Nature seemed to have
kept her most wonderful secrets for |
just Bucb an occasion. As if deliber
ately to disprove tbe foolish scientist
the next teu years brought out tbe
most astounding collection of new in
ventions and discoveries tbe world has
ever known, for. in tbe period imme
diately following the hold claim of this
doubting Thomas. Herts discovered
electric waves. Marconi invented wire
less telegraphy. Roentgen stumbled
upon tbe X ray, Mme. Curie Isolated
radium. Sir William Ramsay found
five new chemical elements. Edison
made his first moving picture machine
tbe Wright brothers conquered tbe air
and countless greater or lesser discov
eries astounded tbe scientific world.
Bo tbe seven great wonders of today
will become tbe commonplaces of to
morrow.—J. B. Newman In St Nich
olas.
MOST COMPLEX ART IS MUSIC
In tha Kay of "C" Alona Thara Ara
882 Distinct Scalas.
With 382 separate aud distinct scales
In tbe key of C alone, it la no more
than natural that the realm of harmony
should be considered as Infinite. Yet i
few laymen are familiar with this, ac
cording to Carl W. Grimm of Cincin
nati. speaking on “The Healm of
Scales.*' Mr. Grimm lamented the Ig
norance of the millions who persist In
tbe contention that music Is no longer
susceptible of a single original note—
that In a short time no new tunes will
appear because every possible varia
tion will have been made use of.
“No great com|»oser”—Mr. Grimm
paused a moment and then repeated by
way of emphasis— "no really great com
poser. I say. has yet complained that
the resources of music have been ex
hausted. Tbe present day conii>o«er
fails to realize that any scale may be
turned Into a monstrosity through Im
proper treatment, which explains the ;
great majority of our popular music, j
Scales are not the product of fmagina- |
tive Inspiration; each must be consid- j
ered as a scientific achievement, aud !
its pitch should be carefully and ex j
actly determined through the applica- j
tiou of certain fixed laws which form >
the backbone of all true music.'*
Mr. Grimm made it clear that music
| instead of being tbe most primitive has \
i evolved into the most complex art j
| known to twentieth century clviliza
1 tion.—New York Post
Farm Boys Fill the Pulpits.
If you are a salesman there is little <
chance your eon will become a minis
ter, while if you are a farmer the
| chances are the best, and if you are a j
' minister the chances are the next best.
I That conclusion results from the 6ta- !
tistical table prepared after investiga
tion by the Association of American
Colleges.
Thirty-three per cent of all minis
ters—at least in the northern states,
where the statistics apply—came from
the homes of farmers and 18 per cent
from the homes of ministers.
Other vocations furnish the follow
ing p^r cent of candidates for the min
istry: Physicians, 2 per cent; clerical
workers. 4 per cent: carpenters. & per
; cent; merchants and laborers, each 8
per cent; all other vocations. 20 per
cent—Chicago Tribune.
'
Grayfish as a Food.
It used to be called the dogfish and
I was looked upon as a worthless nui
sance. Now, through the efforts of
Uncle Sam’s bureau of fisheries, it is
called the grayfish and is in great de
mand as a valuable food product The
grayfish contains a little less protein
and a little more fat than the salmon,
but in digestibility, richness and whole
someuess it equals, if it does not excel,
many of our popular fish foods. One
interesting result of the analysis thus
far made by the government is that
the grayfish is entirely free from uric
acid, which is not true of meats, poul
try or other fishes.
