Not the least important of the
works of science is it's effect in the
promotion of general peace AS the
nations are more closely linked to-
gethcr by the means of transportation
and communication, their interests
become more nearly alike, and they
do not so easily plunge into wars. The
applications OF science to war have at
the same time made it more terrible
and deadly, so that nations do not
dare to expose themselves to the
chance Of physical or commercial ex-
termination thereby involved. IL the
