Miss UYERs LECTURE. Miss Frances J.
Dyer lectured at the Baptist church last
4AoiAetty Sh Ohiho w a lall olLCt dut1ltHCC vi
the "Marvels of Modern Science" The lee
turer pictured the surprise of Rip Van
Wrinkle. who might awake in the present
time from a sleep of half century to COM
prehend the wonders wrought by science
and invention. The talk was composed
mainly Of brief reviews Of leading magazine
articles taking in turn the phones, graphs,
etc, in scientific and business connections
and contrasting the conditions of life as it adj
vances under the influence Of labor saving
Inventions Miss Dyer thinks the marvels
of science will dsplace in great degree the
beauties of nature; that we will know and
care less for our domestic animals and our
birds as the practical need for them is dis
placed by the cOnvaniences enjoyed by the
fruits of scientific research. After speaking
of the inventions she told something Of the
personal life and characteristics of the in
ventors. The lecture was brought to a close
with thoughts what science is doing
tor social reform, particularly the college
settlements in some of our large cities. The
discourse throughout was illustrated with
anecdotes showing how marvels of science
have changed the life and surpassed the
imagination of the people in general.
