feats that excel tire utmost fancies OF the
ancienss, who never. in their widest I'M.

come when men would whisper TO each
other over thousands OF miles Of wire. that
boats would navigate beneath the surface
Of the sea- that human speech and music
would be preserved in wax and be made
audible to the ear years AFTER the voices
that gave the utterance were sttled IN
death, or that the happenings or me dav
would be known to the people or every
land before the going down of the sun.
They never dreamed Of those wonderful
discoveries Of the laws OF nature. by
which the multitude of diseases that have
destroyed hundreds Of millions OF the
human race have been defined. their or

may be protected from their ravages mace

achievements of medical science. when
pestiIences are stamped out. when the
deaf hear and the dumb speak. when tins
skin of one person Is made To grow upon
