THE AGE OF WONDERS.
The wOrhl has seen so many incredible
things come to pass within the last few years
that our minds are being uucOnsciOusly pre-
pared to believe any triumph of human skill
over matter to be quite possible. Five short
years ago the man who pTOphesicd the won
dcrlul career Of Edison would have been lodg-
cd IN madhOuse quicker than you could say
Jack Robinson. Fifty years aWO the idea of
a man spending one sunday In New York and
the next In San Francisco, was too preposter-
Gus TO treat with any degree OF seriousness,
while the thought OF reading London happen
ings two hours by the clock before they hap
pened, was utterly ridiculous. Who thought
hlty years ago that women would sew by ma
chlneTy, lhai one press could actually print
5000 complete newspapers in n single hour, or
that two men, u dozen miles apart, could CON
verse along wire in ordinary tones OF voice?
Yet all these and Infinitely more have been
done In eonquering the world of matter, and
we sit cOmplacenty down and ask 'Well,
what next ?" We are surprised at nothing in
science or mechanics nowadays. Medicine has
not kept place with her sisters, however. and
while maE can cOniesscdly conquer the whole
outside world, he has not been thought equal

/ ills that might distress his own body. Haven't

should heiplessly surrender his own body to
