THUS TIE WORLD MOVES ON

Returning from Europe, where he
had been spending his first real vacation
in twenty years, Thomas A. Edison the
other day made the prediction that it is
only a question of time, when the air
ship viii supplant the steamship as a
swift, safe and practical medium of
trans-oceanic travel. AS rejecting the
marked change that has occurred with
in recent years in the popular belief in
mans ability to accomplish the seeming
ly impossible, it is significant that no
one dissents from 1.-The wizards pic
ture of cur future means of locomotion.
Yesterday such prophecy would have
been laughed to scorn; today we not
only accept it as within the realm Of
probe bility but look ahead to the day
when the big leviathen of the air will
replace not only the steamship but the
railroad as well, for all forms of trans
portation. For the well meaning clergy
men and church people who denounced
Benjamin Franklin from their pulpits
as a usurper of the Divine prerogative,
because he showed his fellow country
men, how by means of lightning rod
they could protect their lives and their
property, we have nothing but pity.
Thomas Jefferson tells in his memoirs
of one of his neighbors who was ''agln"

everybody gets so they can read and
write, nobody will want to work. " Bis

printing presses printed mostly lies

people" Even so broad gagged man
as Ruskin declared the introduction of
railroads would ruin England by driving
the stages out OF the business and kill
ing the demand for horses. Peter Coop
er. builder of the first locomotive oper-
ated in the United States was made the
laughing stock of the whole country
side, because in ten mile race with an
old grey horse near Baltimore, his boil
