Wiley resigned, believing that he
can make better fight for pure food

supe riors and Official duty, than he
could as chief OF bureau where his
acts were reviewed and in a major

The Popular Mechanic contains a
very interesting series of articles
which are result of poll of the
greatest living scientist concerning
the Seven Wonders of the Modern
World
1t were a far easier task for even
learned men who shared in the Sc

seven.
On every hand by night and day,
We walk and see and breathe amid
a multi ude of wonders, which are
no wonders to US, but only COM
monplaca, because part of our
everyday existe ce. Today an infants
feeble voice finds it's unerring way
alCng a tiny wire across rivers and
over plains and mountains to the
one home in millions it seeks. So
as no wonder, and our young men
and young women canot recall the
time te ore the telephone was. They
use it without a thought an instru-
ment before which the seven wise
men would have Frustrated themselves
as Cnlng supernatural.
The Seven Ancient Wonders were
Sc ected by the Greeks and their

her sensual pleasure, two were
tombs, one was temple of beauty
devoted to a heather god, another
tie Colossus of Rhoades, was a
freaksh mass of cast metal less
than half the height of our own
Statue of Liberty, and not compar-
able in dignity, and one was a beau

the masses.
AS brute force, represented in vast
armies, was the measure OF power,
so the ancients honored the strong
arms and the mighty, inert mass.
1t would seem that the pent-up
for es of civil cation, held in, thrust
back, ruthlsssly cut down for 20 cen
turtles, had finally burst forth to fill
the 10Th century with wonders. And
the greatest of these are neither
conn cted oceans. Mountains cut
through with tunnels, towering struc-
lures, each housing the population OF

that cutdistance the eagle, nor any
of the things which typify the might
Of musce. On the contrary each
mo Tern wonder is monument to the
might OF mind.
