STORY OF TIE CENTURY
AN OUTLINE IN BRIEF OF IT'S cLo-
RloUs TRiUMPHs.

In Political Revolutions and social AFo-
Iutlons it Has Been Titantic Period
Called Both the w onderful Century"
and "the Peoples Century"
Alfred Russell Wallace calls It "the
Wonderful Century" Hall Game calls
it "the Peoples Century" Camille
FIammarion calls it "the Era Of As
Economical Discovery" because Of the
spectroscopc. which has brought with
in the range Of human vision 100000
OOO new worlds Sir Norman Lock
yer calls it "the Scientific Century.
Other eminent authorities have vari.
ousIy characterized it as the Century
OF Discovery and Exploration, the
Century of Mechanical Invention, tine
Century Of Commercial Expansion, the
Century Of Steam and Electricity and
the Century Of Social Progress ard
Reform In truth. it has been all
these things, and more.
In political revolutions and social
evolutlons it has been a Titanic cen
tury. At its opening all the world
excepting the United States was inn
perially governed At its close all
the Americas and France are demo-
cratlcally governed both in fact and
In name. and the British monarchy
has become a republic in all but name.
There is IN fact in 1900 no absolute
ruler left among civilized men, If we
except the Car of all the Russias,
who remains 10 remind us Of Ma
poleon's prophecy that the world viii
some day be "all Cossack or all re-
publican" The extinction Of slavery
and the African slave-trade is perhaps
the greatest single item in the account
Of the century's political and social
reformations. But the emancipation
Of white labor from the twelve AMI
fourteen hour day that was universal
IN 1900, and the establishment in its
place Of the day Of ten. nine and eight
hours, the restriction Of women's and
children's labor, the general and
great rise in wages. and, above all,
the creation in nearly every civilized
country Of a ee-c0mmOn-school sys-
lcult WHlCu AuHuhtd years dbV "a
listed in this country only, are steps
forward Of broader scope and value
than the disappearance Of African
slavery. The United States, with the
majestic total Of 100000 pupils in
its public and private schools, graphi-
cally described by the United States
Commissioner of Education, William
T. Harris, leads the march of popular
education in 1900 as it did In 1900,
but the whole world is now keeping
step to the music Of the school bell.
Great Britain since 1870 and all her
colonies have free common schools.
And all Europe saving Russia is in
the crucible OF universal enlighten-
ment.

In the domain of science, as Sir
Norman Lockyer remarks, 1t is the
century that has entirely changed,
and for the better. the conditions OF
human life" It has given us the
steam-engine. the steam railroad. the
steamship. the telegraph. the ocean
cable. the storm-signal service. the
geological map. the sewing machine.
the reaping and threshing machines
the printing press. the typewriter
stenography. photography, the tele-
phone, the oil lamp. the gas jet, the are
light. the electric power house dra "
ing its herculean strength from wat
erfalls hundreds Of miles away. the
Roentgen X rays. the giant telescopes
and a host Of subsidiary applications
Of these notable inventions
Considered as a century of discovery
it has given us the great blologic reve-
lation Of Darwin. shedding more light
on the origin Of life. human and ami
NAL, than all the previous centuries
combined. In medicine. as Professor
Mazzoni says. it has worked mira.
cles in the conquest Of pain and the
reduction Of the perlls of infection. "
The name of Jenner. Pasteur. Lister
and Koch would alone make it a cen.
tury Of marvellous memory. Unques-
tionably, as Sir William MacCor
mac, the eminent British surgeon
remarks. "the greatest boons con
ferred on humanity during the hum
dred years now ending are the dis
covery Of anaesthesia. the introduction
Of antlseptic methods Of wound treat
ment and the progress made IN the
prevention and cure Of disease by vac
cination and incubation"
