/ THH LAsT FtrTY YEARs.--There HAS
been no period since the commencement
Of the world, says a writer in The Plila-
delphia Ledger. III which SO many lInpor.
tant discoveries, tending to the benefit oil
mankind, were made, as In the last hall
century. Some OF the grandest concep.
tions of genius hive been perfected. It
is remarkable how the mind Of The world
has run into scientific investigation, and
what achievements il has effected in that
short period. Before the year 1900, there
was not single steamboat in existence,
aud tile application of steam to machinery
was unknown. Fulton launched the first
steamboat III 1907. Now there are three
thousand steamboats, traversing the waters
of America, and the time saved In travel
s equal to seven per cent. The rivers Of
every country in tile world nearly are trav-
ersed by steamboats,. III 1900 there was
not single railroad in the world. In the
United States alone there are now S,797
miles OF railroad, costing two hundred
and thifty.six millions OF dollars to
build. and about twenty-five thousand
miles Of railroaa ia England and America.
The locomotive will now travel in as ma
NY hours, distance which in 1900 re.
quired as many days to accomplish. In
1900 1T took weeks to convey intelligence
between Philadelphia and New Orleans !;
now 1t can be accomplished in minutes
through the electric telegraph, which only
had It's beginning in 1913. Voliaism was
discovered in March, 1900; the electro
magnet in 1921. Electrotyping was dis.
covered only few years ago. Hoes
printing. press, capable Of printing ten
thousand copies an hour, is very recent
discovery. Gas.light was unknown in
1900 now nearly every city and town of
any pretence are lighted with it. and we
have the announcement of still greater
discovery. by which light heat, and mo-
tive power may be produced from water,
with scarcely any cost. Daguerre COM
lnnticated to the world his beautiful II,
vention in 1889. Gun cotton and choro.
form are discoveries but Of few years
old. Astronomy has added number Of
new planets to the solar system. Agri-
cultural chemistry has enlarged the. do
main Of knowledge in that important
branch Of scientific research, and mechan-
les have Increased the facilities for produc-
ton, and the means Of accomplishing an
amount of labor which far transcends the
ability OF united effort TO accomplish.
What will the next half century accom-
pIish? We may look for still greater dis
coyeries for the intellect Of man is awake.
exploring every mine of knowledge, and
searching for useful information iii every
department Of art and industry.
