It is doubtful IL the ordinary lay
reader who does not peruse the scien-
tific journals and reviews has the faint
est conception of what now promises to
be the most startling and brilliant
achievement of this or any other CEN
tury. The chances are that if you were
to ask such a man what the most revo-
lutionary discovery Of the century was
he would instantly think of electricity.
the telephone and the electric motor
he might even go back to the applica-
tion of steam or instance the spectre
scope and anasthetics. But he would
not touch the one discovery which
promises more than all these to COM
pletely revolutionize the whole world
of mechanical device and open new and
unsuspected domains for conquering
science The most startling discovery
of our age in its measureless possibili-
ties is that by which Mr.. Charles E.
Tripler has succeeded in reducing COM
mon air to liquid under a tempera-
ture of 312 degrees below zero. Once
that this prodigious feat was accom-
plished. the discoverer seems to have
been able to do pretty much as he
pleased with the result. He not only
ran an engine with it. discarding the
use of coal and steam entirely. but he
made the new power thus gained go on
converting air into liquid He now
calmly predicts that long before another
century has rolled round our trains and
our ocean greyhOunds will be travelling
at an increased speed without drawing
any assistance frcm coal. steam or cleo
tricity. They will. in short. draw their
motor out of the atmosphere as they
go along. very much as our locomotive
now takes up its water. Nor is this
half as incredible. in view of what Mr.
/ Tripler has already done. as would have
been the proposition 80 years ago to
run a car with a wire or talk across so
miles of distance. Net the least star
tling of the possibilities brought to view
in this discovery is the new chance ii
gives to aerial navigation. Hitherto
the great obstacle to aeronautics has
/ been the weight of the engine and the
coal. but now the flying machine can
coal up at every cloud and take on sup
plies from every rainbow.

Two books have been placed before
the American public within the month
which every American should keep side
by side in his library. however small
that library may be. 1t is not because
the books are alike in theme or equal in
treatment. but because they honestly
set forth the amazing facts of two op-
posing sources of history. and they do
this without word of preachment, bot
with all the force and simplicity of un-
embellished truth. In these two books
are condensed the lessons of Imperialism
and democracy. humanity and medi-
evalism. in startling contrast. which
the authors never dreamed of when
they were telling their stories from two
worldwide points of view One book is
called The Martyrdom Of an EN-
press and tells the narrowing tale of
the late empress of Austria. No ro-

Vaccinations lived the life Of a state
prisoner With all that wealth could
command or beauty and authority could
summon. she was the most miserable
tool of envy. malice. jealousy. hatred
and suspicion. No slave in Circassia is
hemmed in by such espionage or so de-
prived of her natural rights And all
this was in due accordance with a sys-
TEN that had grown up for centuries
and was part of the necessitous ma
, chinery of state and court. She saw her
+ friends and family desert her one By
one and most of the members of her
husband family end in tragedy with
crowns on their heads. and she at last
was struck down by an assassin's blow
The other book is the Life and Serv-
! ices of Edwin NJ. Stanton. the Ameri-
+ can war secretary. Here is the story of
a man who was summoned by the peo-
| pie and who assumed the prodigious
/ burdens of nation to serve the people
and went through one of the most fear
full crises known to mankind, to wear
himself out with the task. hut to leave
behind him an unexampled record of
y integrity. decision of character and
tireless loyalty to the people. He was
one of that illustrious group of men
that surrounded Lincoln when money
was manufactured at the rate of mil
lion a day and who came out of the
ordeal of war poorer than when they
went in and worn out by their super
human labors. To read the life and
services of this man now is to read anew

strength and fidelity in democracy and

How strangely law and order some
times work to produce misfortunel Here
is a poor German woman who after toll
ing for years saves up $3.50 and comes
to this country to take a humble
apartment in New York and continue
her labors. She put her $3.50 into
mattress and sewed it up for safe keep
ing She had not been in her dOmicile
long before she conceived the idea that
some of the disreputable people in the
building had formed plot to rob her.
As the fears grew upon her she went to
the police sta ton and made her COM
plaint. She was there directed TO a
magistrate. Her emotional excitement
led the magistrate to believe that she
was deranged, and he had her examined
by doctors. who sent her to Ward is
land While confined there. her land
lord seized upon her effects for rent.
and among the other chattels carted off
her mattress containing the $3.50, Not
long after. the poor woman was releas-
ed, the charge of insanity being un-
founded. and then she set out in wild
hunt for her mattress. Her difficulties
were enhanced by her inability to speak
the language plainly and by her hyster-
ical condition. Failing to get any trace
of her property. she finally in sheer des-
peration wrote to the governor of the
state. and he turned the letter over TO
his wife. whose sympathies being ex-
cited by the strange case gave her per
sonal attention to hunting up the mat
tress. At the latest accounts it had not
been found. but the ponderous machin-
cry of the state is set in motion and is
moving with much creaking and revolv-
ing of wheels toward justice.
