WOm0ers OF Modern Science.
The perfect accuracy with which scientists
are enabled to deduce the most minute par.

pears almost miraculous II we view Il In the
light of the early ages. Take for example the
electromagnetic telegraph-the greatest in
vention of the age. Is itnot marvellous de-
gree of accuracy which enables an operator
to eractly locate fracture in q submarine
cable nearly three thousand miles long 4?
Our venerable "clerk of the weather" has
become so thoroughly familiar with those
most hayward elements of nature that he can
accurately predict their movements. He can
sit In Washington and foretell what the
weather wilFbe tomorrow in Florida or New
York, as we'll as IL several hundred miles did
not intervene between him and the places
named. And so In all departments of modern
science, what is required is the knowledge
OF certain signs. From these the scientists de-
duce accurate conclusions regardless of dis.
lance. A few fossils sent to the expert
geologjst en- able him to accurately determine
the rock formation from which they were
taken. He can describe it to you as per-
fectly as if a cleft of it were lying on his
table. So also the chemist can determine
the constitution of the sun as accurately as
II that luminary were not ninety-fve million
miles from his laboratory. The sun sends
certain signs over the "infnitude of space"
and the chemist Classics them by passing
them through the spectroscope. Only the
presence of certain substances could produce
these solar signs. So also in medical science,
diseases have certain unmistakable signs or
symptoms, and by reason of this fact DIR.

enabled to originate and perfect system of

nature OF chronic diseases, without seeing
