A Wonderful Century.

A Wonderful Century.
The world has made more pro
gress during the last hundred years
than in any other century within
historic times.
The main underlying cause OF
this unexampled growth has been
the disbursement of war. England
spent sixty-one years Of the eigh-
.teenth century In wagiug foreign
wars. A hundred years ago Eu-
rope was virtually one great camp,

after the Battle of Waterloo the
lust for military dominion gradually
gave way to q desire for an ex.
change Of products. Commerce
took the place Of war Is the ruler
Of International policy.
A remarkable result was the
awakening Of mans inventive
genius. Until this time 1t had lain
dormant, but when the problem
arose how to get wheat, cotton or
coal most rapidly from the fields
and mines to the market, and how
to increase the amount and diminish
the expense Of manufacture. the
