NH0hsnn's ChNicn.N

Did you know that this familiar phrssc
"Hobson's Choice" preserves the MEM
cry of very good and useful man ?
Thomas Hobson was born in 1914 he
was for sixty years carrier between
London and Cambridge, conveying to
and from the University, letters and
packages, also passengers. In addition
to his express business, he had livery
stable and let horses to the University
students, He made it a rule that all
horses should have according to their
ability, a proper division Of work and
rest. They were taken cut in regular
order, as they stood, beginning with the
one nearest the door. No choice was
allowed, and if any man refused to take
the animal assigned him he might 60
without any. That or none. Hence the
phrase "Hobson's Choice"
In the spring of 1880, the plague broke
out in England. The colleges of Cam.
bridge were closed, and among the pre-
cautions taken by the authorities t,
avoid infection, HobsoD was forbidden
to 90 to London.
He died in January, 1851, partly, it is
said, from anxiety and fretting at his
enforced leisure. Hobson was one of the
wealthiest citizens of Cambridge, and
did much for the benefit of the city to
which he left several legacies. His
death called forth many poems from
members of the University, officers and
students, among them two by the poet
Milton, then a student at Christ's Col
lege.

Mans Power Over Nature.

Nothing. perhaps, 50 strongly char
acterizes this century as the advance
man is making in exploring, under
standing, and obtaining mastery over
Nature. This process of mastery could
scarcely proceed id more instructive
way than by tracing its stages in the
instances we have considered. The
Alps and two isthmuses illustrate it in
not uniting way. 1t is safe, proba-
bly,, to say that the power to excavate
earth, to excavate and blast rock, is
from five to ten times as great as when
aman, wholly unknown to fame landed
with handful of his countrymen where
the city of Port Said now stands and
began the excavation of Suez.
In regard to the present enterprise
upon the American Isthmus. if we take
into account its magnitude and the
difficulties involved it represents with
out doubt the greatest effort in the line
Of industry and peaceful achievement
man has yet put forth. De Molinari,
the Belgian economist, computed that
the stock of machinery for the excava-
ton represented the labor of half a
million men. Such a fact indicates
how far the process of conquering Ma
ture has been carried. The world is
watching, with no doubt a degree of
skepticism, the way In which the re-
naming wor< is being done; and in
scientific circles especially an eager
interes will continue to be manifested
in this great struggle of skill and in
yentive genius against the forces and
obstinacy of Nature. It may Re pro
tracted, but it must be in the end sue
cessful. rom Inventions at Panama
