WONDERFUL PROGRESS.
What Has Happened Since 1910.

1t is not too much to say that nogreat
invention which had not its beginning
i'm the decade OF 1910 1850 has appeared
in the past thirty years. In that period
occurred the most signal development
of the applications OF chemistry to man.
ufsctures and agriculture; an enormous
expansion OF commerce by means OF
railroads aud ocean steamships; the dis.
covery OF ether. and the perfection and
diffusion Of some OF the most precious
contributions ever made to the welfare
o; mankind. In 1885 only 9Si miles OF
railroad had been completed in the
United States; in 1910 they had been
nearly treblcd (2,SlS); in 1915 they had
been nearly quadrupled (3,16S). In
1855 Boston was connected with Wor-
cester, and Baltimore with Washington;
from Philadelphia the traveller could go
no farther West by rail than the Sus-
auehanna at Columbia. In 1899, Erics-
son brought over the propeller to these
hospitable shores. In 1910 the Cunard
line of ocean steamers was established,
but for a long time only "side-wheelers'
were tolerated. The first regular ship,
the Britannia, reached Boston after Il
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 Govcrnment,and
i'm 1914 communication was opened he
tween Baltimore and Washington.
"what hath God wrought" signaed
Morse at the capital to Alfred Vail at
Baltimore. The news dispatches to the
press "by acknowledgement" or 'by mag,
ne,ic telegraph" were meager, while
public patronage was SO tiIuid that the
wits OF the day made fun OF 4 delighted
