That was the prophecy of the vast
cold storage system which has done so
much to revolutionize our menu and
our mode Of living. Bacon's theory
was long time being put into prac-
teal operation, but he had discovered
the plan and 1t was bound to be put in
operation some time. Perhaps If Bacon
had lived few years longer the con-
summation would have come sooner.
He made not one cent out Of his great
discovery. The chances are that he
would never have proited by it finan-
ciafly had he lived thousand years,
for he never patented those ideas
which came teeming from his fertile
brain and which have done so much for
the happiness and prosperity Of man
kind. But think how much of wealth
his idea has bestowed upon the pack
ers. big and little, all over the world
and how much 1t has enabled people to
have good things to eat. Bacon's cold
storage idea has not only blessed the
packers, but also fruit men, gardeners,
farmers, butchers In fact, everybody
that handles food products and every
body that consumes them. Yet not one
person in ten thousand knows that the
author Of ''Novum Organum" was the
man who first thought Of and practiced
cold storage. It is one Of his clearest
titles to the gratitude Of the world.
The truth is (and therein lies the great
ness Of his work) that he completely
changed the trend Of human thought
and set it on the utilitarian tack. BY
reason Of that the humblest laborer
enjoys comforts and even luxuries Of
which Elizabeth. mtghtiest Of the Tu-
dor kings" never dreamed. Bacon
was the greatest ornament of her long
reign, rich as 1t was tn brilliant men.
II It had not been for the trend which
he gave to human thought 1t is doubt
full II we would have ever heard Of one
half the useful inventions which have
20 largely added to our enjoyment and
our convenience. He did not invent
much himself, but he set everybody
else to Investigating and inventing
things useful and benefcent.
Bacon. by making nothing out of his
cold storage idea, is In a numerous
company Of inventors and discoveries
Columbus came to grief; Galilei was
clapped in Jail; DR.. Harvey lost his
practice; innumerable booksellers have
grown rich by reprinting Paradise
Lost" which Milton sold for a few
shillings; Colt grew wealthy by max
ing revolvers, while the real inventor
Lived in poverty.s And SO on to the end

This ID q strange world, my masters.
It Is queer how things turn out In this
mundane sphere. For instance, some
what over two centuries ago one cold,
snowy day, Lord Bacon, the greatest
philosopher that ever lived, was driving
alone along lonesome road In Eng
land when he fell to meditatipg upon a
plan for preserving flesh with Ice. That
was after Bacon had been disgraced
and driven from the lord chancsllorship
Tor taking brides; but nothing could
prevent his active and philosophic mind
from bordering constantly on new
schemes Of ameliorating the condition
of mankind. He was the chief Of utili-
tarians. His philosophy was to make
this world more comfortable place fol
human habitation. No other Of the
tssming millions of the sons Of Adam
ever did 80 much to render his race
comfortable as did Bacon by his teach
lngs. Having conceived the idea OF
presarvtng aesh by Ice. he got out OF
Ms gig ct q cabin, bought a chicken
diseuboweled n and with his own
band stuffed It with snow. Accidental.
y he stuck bone into his hand,
caught cold and died In a few days.
The last words he ever wrote were
