conclusions in 1871 when he suggested
that wound fever was caused by little
germs in the air, and hat ii operations
were performed under proper cOndi-
lions there need be no fever. CarbOliC
acid was first used for this purpose,
and later other drugs were fouud use

standing now at its very close a glance
at the personalities Who did most to-
wards the Shaping of this tendency and
the moulding of mems minds is timely.
There ave been g~eat men IN other
departments of human e~ndeaVOr, great
writer's. great statesmen, artists and
musicians, but il is by its scientific
achievements that the century viii be
marked from al preceding cen
turtles. No les a man than Alfred
Russell Wallace has pointed cut that
the scientific achievements of the last
hundred a have been greater in
extent and number than those of all
previous centuries combined. And it
has been not only in theoretical, but in
practical science as well that most has
been accomplished. In the lifting of
the burden of labor by machinery, the
speedy transit of men and goods, and
n alienation of human suffering this
has been the century of centuries.
This has been the 2 of steam. one
of the p~athfinders in this direction was
James Watt 1t36-lSl9). The delicate
bow who could not pla the rough
games of his fellows was to startle the
world by his discovery that water, SO
long considered one of the elementary
substances. was really made up of two
gases, oxygen and hydrogen But he
did not stop mere. lie invented the con-
denser of the steam engine, and the
closed cylinder which has made the To-
connective possible. opening the way to
all the ogr which the railway has
brought with it.. In 1I05 he constructed
the first steam engine that would work
satisfactorily. lit was he who suggested
the metric system which has been
adopted all over Europe.
Next to steam it is electricity that
has done most for the advancement of
the race during this century and fore

There are several thousand Russian
farmers in Ellis county, Kan. They
came twenty-five years ago from Russia
to escape drafting into the military serv-
ice and to have freedom of religious wor-
ship. They are deyout Roman Catholics.
They settled on the open prairie The
land they came from was fine for wheat
growing, and they were wheat farmers.
They brought seed wheat with them, and
they went in for wheat-growing on the
prairies, and snice then they have stuck
to it. Their only crop, with the excep-
tion of garden truck for home use, is
wheat. They own from 100 to $40 acres
of ground each; they are out of debt,
have money in bank, and are buying up
all the adjoining land they can get, pay
ing as much as $50 an acre for wild,
unbroken prairie land. These Russians
live in communities. They have no farm

In the Variag, which has just made
her successful trial trip, the Russian
navy will have the feetest battleship of
her class in the world. The Cramps may
equal or excel her in the next big fighting
machine they turn out for our own navy,
but for the moment the Variag is the
latest and the best. Though she flies the
Russian flag, the Philadelphia Times
points out that she is American built
through and through. The Cramps used
to build little wooden sailing vessels. At
these same yards they now turn out huge
modern steel constructions, with their
powerful engines, that are nowhere to be
excelled. This is the evolution of the
