The field for energetic and painstak-

than ever before. Science is now truly

close corporations; and no domain of
scientific investigation can be advan-

- HAVE chosen to invite your at
tention for the hour to sum-
mary of scientific progress. with
special reference to It's effects
on the masses. rather than on
the individuals. of mankind.
We all know. at least in a general
way. what such progress is. We are
assured almost daily by the public
press and by popular consent that the
present is not only an age Of scientific
progress. but that it is pre- eminentIy
the age Of scientific progress.
But times have not been always thus
pleasant and promising for science. As
we look backward over the history OF
scientific progress il is seen that our
realm has been taxed often to the ut
most in defense of its autonomy. and
that the present state OF domestic fe-
licity, bordering on tranquility. has
been preceded often by states of domes-
tic discord bordering on dissolution.
And. as we look forward into the
new century before US. we may well
inquire whether science has vanquished
its foreign enemies and settled its do
mestic disputes for good and all. or
whether future conquests can be made
only by a similarly wastefui outlay Of
energy To that which has accompanied
the advantages of the past
And I venture TO think that we may
inquire also with profit, in some prom
iuent instances. under what circunr-
stances i'm the past science has waxed
or waned. as the case may be. in it's
slow rise from the myths and mysti-
Cism IF earlier eras to the law and or

From she earliest historic times GER
tainly. if not from the dawn Of prfmi-
tive humanity. down To the present
day, the problem OF the universe has
been the most attractive and the most

thinking men.

and science are alike in having tbs So

in the Alma Mater, but in the city as
well.

The effects of the changes will be to
practically have a street car service
between the towns, special rates will
be given and the service will be made
attractive in many respects. The time
occupied by the trip will be about 40
minutes. When the depot at Belpre is
removed to the Junction the trip will
be shortened by 10 minutes.
The trains will leave Marietta at the
following hours: 1880. 500. 500 and

12:45, 2:2O 4:4O, 700 and 1902 p. m.
This change will be put into effect
some time between the twelfth AMI
sixteenth of the month.
The change is said by railroad offic-

contemplation a long time. Knowing

broken through the roof of a shed in

The plaze was extinguished by the
