SOME LATE INVENTIONS.

To one who will study the subject it
can only be matter of wonder that
the human inventive faculty was so
long in developing itself. for most of
the important and useful discoveries
and inventions now in common use are
of modern date. Some of the ancients,
especially the Greeks and Romans were
highly developed in hand and brain.
Many of their works have been the adj
miration of all ages, and are yet re-
garded among the wonders of the
world. They show that the people of
Greece and Rome possessed both ar
tistic and mechanical skill of the high
est type, yet inventiveness. as moderns
regard the term, was lacking. The
same may be said of some OF the other
old nations whose works yet remain to
show the high order of intelligence
possessed by the people along certain
lines.
The art of printing Is less than five
centuries old, and gun powder is not
much older, yet books were made and
people were killed by man almost from.
the beginning. These may be called
somewhat ancient inventions, but not
SO with some of those which are now
looked upon as among the necessities
of life. No doubt the inhabitants of
the earth had watched the escape Of
steam from the time the first vessel
was used for boiling water. yet no one
seems to have thought of utilizing its
force until a time almost within the
memory OF those now living. Fulton's
little steamboat. the Clermont, made
it's trial trip up the Hudson river in
1907, only century ago. Experiments
along the same line had been made in
Europe some years earlier, but a CEN
fury really marks the life of steam
boating.
Neither history nor legend can tell
when men first used boats of some
kind, yet throughout all these long
ages no one seemed to think that steam
could be used to take the place of
wind or human energy. The wise phil
osophers of thousands of years ago saw
water boiling in covered vessels and
noted that the escaping steam had
some sort of power and energy, but
none of them thought of Harvesting
and using that power. The same may
be said of railroads. which are really
not more than a century old, even in
their most primitive stages. 1t Is true
that some crude railways had been
used something more than a century
ago. but It is fact that a period of

MATrTHORTTy,, AM ..pIE :,

There was once an old doctor who
used to say that the long line of med
ical authority handed down from
author to author and from generation
to generation was like a Chinese box.
Inside the largest box lies a smaller
which contains smaller, which con-
tains one still smaller, and so on until
the smallest box is reached and that
one is found to have nothing in it.
Just so a rather revolutionary ply
sician has traced back the ancient
dictum of the doctors, Don't eat pie!"
and has discovered that there is moth
ing in it. The trouble is that pie" in
the English language and pie" in the
American language define entirely diff
ferent corrections
The English used to make and eat
"pie'' that made the hardened sensibil-
tiles of doctor fairly CULVER. The
pie" was a paste of half cooked
dough, grease soaked and filed with
underdone pork. These were eaten
cold and were injurious even to the
proverbial iron constitutions of the
people who ate them. The modern
English pie" is a much milder dose.
But the old English doctors wrote in
their books, Don't eat pieI" and the
American doctors copied the cry. and
most people have felt sort of guilty
and sneaky that they were not treat
ing their. stomachs right when they
ate a wedge of good American pie.
PIE" in the language of the United
States. means a light. WELL cooked
crust, filled with fresh, or properly
preserved wholesome berries or fruit,
and is what the English call tart. y.
No English doctor book ever said,
Don't eat tarts!" And so the Ameri-
can doctors have been using the
wrong admonition from the start
they forgot to translate the English
doctor books into United States just
as they would translate a German or
French book.
Of course, the result has been that
innocent, wholesome "pie' has caused
lot of sickness because if some peo-
pie ate a piece and then began to
worry for fear it would make them
| i'll they would be as sick as though
they had eaten a cold slab of the real
antique English article.
Twenty three centuries age Socrates
brought philosophy out of the
clouds" by insisting upon the impor-
lance of defining the terms of dis
pute. Socrates was certainly a wise
man. But the people generally have
not yet learned his elementary lesson.
Two or three centuries of American
doctors have been crying Beware of
pie!" and have never taken the trouble
to inquire what ''pie'' is.
One of the great needs of the peo-
pie of today is less authority and more
definiteness. They generally read too
much, think too little and talk too
generally. And so when they say
"pie' in the future in disrespectful
terms it is well for them to be sure
! that they know what they mean by

the ingenious statesmen there. The
latest brilliant idea, according to
Paris correspondence in the London
Telegraph. is a special decoration,
with a special ribbon, OF a special
pattern and color. for fathers of large
families. The weakness of French
men for ribbons in their buttonholes
is well known and has been laughed
at by none so much as Frenchmen
themselves. but it may as well be
turned to account, so the ingenious
statesman in question proposes grant
ing the new Order, of Merit to fathers
of six children at least. Less than
that number would not be a qualifica
ton. The round dozen Of offsprings
would entitle the happy sire to the
highest rank in the order, with star
or brilliants. But the strange thing is
that no one seems to think of decorat-
ing the mothers.
