Twenty-Five years have passed
since / beagn writing for the IRON
COUNTY REGISTER. Looking back
ward-in a reminiscent mood
view the worlds progress in the
arts and sciences. What wonders
have been accomplished by great
inventors in that comparatively
brief period-one-fourth Of a CEN
century? Looking forward, one
vainly tries to realize the prob
abilities Of the vast results Of in
ventive genius during the next
twenty-five years. However great
such results may be, it is sad to
know that less than ten per cent.
of all the people now living on
this earth of my %age--only sixty
years-will live to see the end of
that time. r. =.
