What Has Happened Since 1910.
From Lippincoti's MagazineI

1t is not too much to say that no great
invention which had not its beginning in
the decade of 1S401S50 has appeared in
the past 30 years. In that period occurred
the most signal developement of the
applications of chemistry TO manufac-
lures and ndagriculture; an enormous expan-
sion of commerce by means of railroads
and ocean-steamships; the discovery of
either; and the perfection and diffusion
of some of the most precious contnbu-
tions ever made to the welfare of man-
kind In 1885 only 9S4 miles of railroad
had been completed i'll the United States;
in 1880 these had been nearly trebled
(2S1S) in 1S45 they had been nearly
quadrupled (376S). In 1895 Boston was
connected with Worcester, and Balti-
more with Washington; from Philadel-
phia the traveller could go no farther
West by rail than the Susquehanna at
Columbia. In 1889, Ericsson brought
over the propeller TO these hospitable
shores In 1910 the Cunard line of ocean
steamers was established, but for time
only ''side- -wheelers" were tolerated. The
first regular ship, the Britannia, reached
Boston after trip OF fourteen days and
eight hours. Morse's telegraph, after
vain offers on both sides of the Atlantic,
was at last subsidized by our own govern
ment, and i'll 1874 communication was
opened between Baltimore and Washing
ton. "What hath God wrought !" signal
led Morse at the capital to Alfred Vail at
Baltimore. The news dispatches to the
press "by electro-telegraph' or ''by mag
netic telegraph" We're meagre. while
public patronage was SO timid that the
wits of the day made fun of n delighted
father in Baltimore who "wired" the news
of the birth of a grand to post-oftice
official at the Capital-'as if the mail
were too slow" at twenty miles an hour.
In April, 1910, Goodyear was i'll the
debtors, prison Ia lodging almost as famil
lar to him as his home) in Boston he had
the year before found the clue to the vul-
canizing of rubber, but the process was
not reduced to certainty till 1874. AT
about the same time 1SI5-41) the McCor-
mick reaper was confirming the indepen-
dencs of the New York World of the Old
as u granary. As late as 1868 wheat
had been imported into the United States
from Portugal and the Baltic The sew
ing machine devised by Elias Howe in
lS43 was patented in 1916, but theimpor-
tance of this invention was not fully rea-
lized for more than dozen years after
ward. The daguerreotype dates from
1889, and i'll 1910 the enterprising Mr..
Plump began taking likenesses in
Boston-with small success for some
months. Five years later his "galler-
les" were to be found not only III that
city, but in New York, Philadelphia, Bal
timore, Washington, and even Dubuque,
Iowa. Finally, July "a, 1917, the patent
was issued for Hoes lightning press,
with its impression cylinder" (the type
revolving on "A circular bed) and u print
ing capacity of ten to twenty thousand
impressions per hour.

DIo.YsIUs LARDNER's MISTAKE Apour
OCEAN STEAMERS. A few days after my
return, DIR. Lardner called and we had
II pleasant chat He regretted my early
departure, but said must dine with him
before going. Among other topics, de
plored the necessity Of my again crossing
the Atlantic under sail, but hoped the
tho time was not distant when steam
would be adopted.
There Id little prospect Of that" said
the man of science, empathically. "A
steamer will never be able to contend
the Atlantic The machinery would be
disabled the wheels would be rendered
useless the coal she would bo obliged to
carry would leave no room for cargo; and
mere passenger traffic would never de
fray the expense Of such an enter
prise.
Il admit your high authority" ! re
tOrted, for who has written So ably on
steam propulsion? But III spite of your
prognostics, you know, they are building
steamer at Bristol, and another i'll Lon
don to put the experiment to n test and if
either were ready, | would readily take
the risk to escape the drcary ordeal of II
sailing vessel.
"It is astonishing" remarked Dr. L.,
''that people will be so silly as to put
money into such experiments. 1t will
end in failure, and probably in dread
full cartasrophe. Take my advice, and
stick to your splendid liners Better
pass an additional week at sea than never
reach the shore. = IVikoD"s Recpkicc-

OF the platform adopted hy the Democrat
ic State Convention ON Thursday, it is
enough to say, that, coming from the source
it does, it is the veriest clap-irap. Demo
cratic denunciation of exiravagauce and cor
ruption is simply another instance of Satan
denouncing sin. However true it may be
abstractly. such denunciation means moth
ing from men whose accession to power is 81
ways followed by more lavish use of the
public money for private benefit, and by in
creased corruption and eXt:avagance. Does
anybody really suppose that the placing OF
the administration of our State government
in the hands of Atkins, Smalley, NcGet-
trick. Start < Co, would conducc to re-
trenchmcnt and economy: OF course no
body dreams that any such result would be
possible. The result Of Democratic ''ecouo-
my has been well illustrated in this city,
where the result Of Democratic management
when that party tool, coatrol was seen in an
increase OF about a third ii the city expenses
and city taxes The same result would FOL
low Democratic management inthe State and
in the Nation.

FORESTS AND THE ATMOSPHERE

The Gardeners Chronicle SAYS
From concurrent thermometric observa-
tions made in forests and away from them,
at l. 40 and Mt II meters above the ground
level, NJ. Fautrat arrives at the following
conclusions. In consequences of the
differences Of temperature which are OBJ
served underneath the foliage and above
the submits OF trees, a current of air
from below upwards is established III for
ests, and also lateral currents around
woods from the foliage towards the open
space beyond These currents cause u
healthy breeze in hot weather. The u.s.
cending current carries off above the for
ests the vapors from the soil, puts this
latter in communication with the clouds,
and fills the office Of lightning conduc-
tor and it is to this, no doubt, that for
ests owe their remarkable property Of
keeping hail storms at distance.

MANAGEMENT OF POULTRY IN SUMNER.
The editor of the New England Farmer
gives the following advice
Many have an idea that, although hens
do need care in winter, when the weather
Is cold and water freezes in their pens, it
is not at all necessary to pay any atten-
ton to them in summer. But this is a
mistake. On the farm where hens have
unlimited range, there may not be any
particular attention given during the
summer months But when kept in small
quarters in towns and villages, the poul-
try need far more attention during tho
warm months of summer than they can
possibly need in winter. In summer,
ver1nin abounds the pens and runs be-
come coated over with droppings venti-
lation is needed clean, fresh water must
be supplied, and wholesome food furnish
ed in such quantities that it will not be-
come stale and uneaten in the pens. To
attend to all these things requires time
and care but without time and care
what profit or success comes in any line
of effort? Eggs fall off during the very
hot weather of summer, in consequence
of the unfavorable conditions Of the
season, unless these conditions are met
N&''te ~ - NN"fc OJ P'Opcf 0tteHttCH LIS
being the case, the hens are healthy and
the number of eggs is kept up-two re-
suits which always followed good care.
Remember, then, that the best econo-
my of the poultry yard demands that it
have daily care throughout the heated
months. Fresh water given daily, a
change Of food, and constant watch
that over-supply be not given at any
time fresh grass and sods placed in the
yards at intervals of few days ; abund-
ant ventilation of the pens must be given;
the droppings kept cleaned up the
perches occasionally coated with a mix
ture of lard and sulphur dust baths
furnished, and thorough watchfulness.
Towards night turn the hens from their
pens and give them the benefit of leg
stretching in the garden and among the
grass or fruit trees. While they are en-
joying this airing, get spade and dig
over the earth in the pens 1t will be
good exercise, and the next morning the
hens will think they have new quarters.
Attention to these things will yield health
to the hens, and good supply of eggs
for the family right through the hot
weather
