PROGRESS OF INVENTION

The wonderful advances which have been made along the lines of science and mechanics during the last forty years causes one to marvel thereat. when he stops to give the matter consideration, and wonder what sort of place America will be after forty more years of develop ment Much of this development has been along lines with which the general public is not familiar but enough of it has been in connection with machinery and devices in everyday use to afford anyone comprehensive idea of it's ex- tent Take, for instance, the locomotive of 40 years ago, which drew ten or a dozen cars, and compare it with the ponderous machines of to-day which are capable of hauling forty to fifty loaded cars. Another instance is the improve ment in the method of typesetting Forty years ago hand composition was the only method known. To-day In all the large city offices and, indeed, in the and larger country weekly papers, will be found the modern linotype, a type setting machine which is almost human in It's operation. One man sitting in front of this machine, operating . key board resembling that of the typewriter, easily accomplishes each day an amount of work equaling that of four hand oom- positors and this machine has the advan- tage over hand composition of entirely abolishing the necessity of distribution which is the printers term for returning the letters to the type cases.
 But these are only two instances in many hundreds, Among recent inven- tions by the use of which are accom- pIished things previously considered inn possible is device permitting lighted gosoline to be poured from one vessel to another with every vestige of danger eliminated, woodworking machines with saws and knives revolving thousands of times minute over which the workmen hands glide harmlessly, an arrangement by which fire in any part of vessel sends smoke from the particular com partment it is in through numbered pipe to the captains office, then by the turn of a screw l1ye steam is sent into shat compartment and quenches the lire, Q device by which the train des- patcher can at will talk with any sngi- neer in his cab at any point on the line warning him of peril in the block just ahead of him, or if he fails the despatcher can by lever stop the locomotive, a press, punching holes in, or cutting off bars of steel, fitted with an arm that knocks away the operators hand so that it is impossible for the fingers to bs crushed.
 That fact is sometimes fully as strange as fiction is suggested to us by the above mention of the train despatoher stop ping tho locomotive at any point on the line by moving lever in his office, A few weeks ago story writer in Litch- field county prepared for certain rail road publication, an article, bordering on the burlesque, which contemplated the operation of trains at the end of the next decade. In one of the burlesq ne references, there is pictured the opera. tion of train from despatchsrs office in manner similar to that which has now become reality.

One day out of three hundred and sixty-fve to be designated as Mothers Day?"
 Only one?
 And that one to be distinguished by a oonspicuously displayed emblem, as if the occasion were an extraordinary ono? As if filial affection were not a rule of mankind's daily life! AS if tender love for the mothers that live, and revsrent, loving thoughts for those that live no more, were not ever present, ever active emotions!
 Every day is mothers day in tho heart of the properly constituted man or woman. There is something decidedly lacking i'll the mental and moral make up of the person who, every day in the year and every hour 1n the day, does not experience the emotions of love, reverence and respect for mother.

An Amazing Insight Into the Life
of Wild Birds.

If you knew what others know about
Lyman ii. Howe's Moving Pictures to
be seen in Frostburg Opera House next
Wednesday evening, April LIST, you
would feel that you could not afford to
miss seeing the new program. 1t takes
YOU from ice bound Polar regions to the
Tropics; from the homes, industries and
life in Holland, to French Battleship
where it shows you the duties and life
of the French sailor. 1t gives you the
sensation of riding so miles an hour iu
an automobile as though you actually
participated i'll the race. 1t shows you
the European methods of fighting big
city fire, the desperate efforts of the fire
men, and still more hopeless plghts of
the fires victims. 1t reveals an assem-
blage of wild ANIMALS in lake, forest
cave and ravine as they have never been
portrayed before.
But perhaps the most remarkable
moving pictures ever produced are those
entitled-"Wild Birds at Home" This
amazing insight into the family life of
birds must be seen to be believed. 1t is
of supreme interest, not only to nature
lovers but the quaint and provident
ways shown will delight anyone. Only
born and recognized bird lover could
so deeply win the confidence of the birds
shown to enable him to get close enough
to get such remarkable results. Even
then extraordinary skill, resource, and
patience We're required to obtain pic
lures of the mother bird feeding, caring
for. and tenderly nurt uring her young
This phase adds such infinite beauty and
gentle charm to the pictures that it un-
consciously enlists the sympathy of the
whole audience
