WONDERS OF MODERN SCIENCE

The perfect accuracy with which scientist.
are enabled to deduce the most minute pa.
ticulars in their several departments, appears
almost miraculous if we view it in the light
of the early ages. Take for example the
electromagnetic telegraph the greatest IL.
vention of the age. Is it not a marvellous
degree of accuracy which enables an oper.
ator to exactly locate fracture in su0-
marine cable nearly three thousand miles
long? Our venerable "clerk of the weather"
has become so thoroughly familiar with those
most Maynard elements Of nature that he
can accurately predict their movements. He
can sit in Washington and fOretell what tie
weather will be tomorrow in Florida or New
York, as well as if several hundred miles dill
not intervene between him and the places
named. And so in all departments of mod.
ern science, what is required is knowledge OF
certain signs. From these the scientists de-
duce accurate conclusions regardless of dis
lance. A few fossils sent to the expert
geelogist enable him to accurately determine
the rOek-formation from which they were
taken. He can describe it to you as perfectly
az if q cleft of it were lying on his table. So
also the chemist can determine the constiiu.
ton of the sun as accurately as if that ~
minary were not ninety.6ve 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 thee
certain signs. So also, in medical science,
diseases have certain unmistakable signe. or
symptoms, and by reason Of this fact, Or,
