in the light of the early ages. Take for

not n marvellous degree of accuracy which
enables an operator to exactly locate a

thousand miles long? Our venerable
"clcrk of the weather" has become so thor
oughly familiar with those most Maynard
elements of nature that he can accurately
predict their movements. He can sit in

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 deduce accurate conclusions
regardless Of distance A few fossils sent
to the expert geologist enable him to accu-
rately determine the rock formation from
which they were taken. He can describe

can determine the constitution of the In

ninety five million miles from his abora-
tory. The sun sends certain signs over
the "intintude ofspace" and the chemist
classities them by passing them through
the spcctroscopc. Only the presence of
certain substances could produce these So
lar signs So al, o, in medical science, dis

been enabled to originate and perfect n

accuracy, the nature of Chronic diseases
