the past few years that one might
almost expect the birth of calf to be

thing of greater Importance to hu-
manity than the mere promotion of
commercial relations, the exhibition
of craftswork from foreign climes or
the assimilation of foreign ideas and

triumph Of science that takes proceed

which have taxed the oredence of the
layman. 1t will observe an achieve
