SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD

From France comes a wise remark
on the recent efforts OF scientists to
determine the seven wonders of the
modern world Their choice was as
follows. Wireless telegraphy, the
telephone, the aeroplane, radium, an
tiseptics and antitoxins, spectral an
alysis and X-rays. OF the seven won
ders Of the ancient world, only one
was OF practical utility, the light
house of Alexandria; the others were
notably only for size or beauty. But
-" says the French writer
What Importance will these seven
modern marvels have in the fortieth
century when the learned men of that
age look back upon them? We can
no more predict or understand the
seven wonders of the future than could
the ancients predict those OF the
twentieth century. We cannot tell
from what quarter of the globe the
new knowledge will come. Is not that
one reason more for men, no matter
TO what country they belong, to pu,
forth all their power of investigation
in common effort and TO work to
gether to discover some of the marvels
of which they are still Ignorant"

CEREALS GETTING CHEAPER.

DR. Harvey w. Wiley, former chief
of the chemistry division OF the de-
nartrnent Of agriculture, was one Of
the speakers at the international Re,
frigeration congress in Chicago the
other day. He took the position that
the increasing price Of food is not due
solely to It's scarcity, as many sup
nose declaring that there never was
time when man was SO well fed as
at the present. Following are the
causes as the eminent food specialist
sees them:
First, people are eating let er
foods than ever before. and second,
the purchasing medium. namely, gold
is relatively far more abundant than
ever before. hence the quantity Of
food it Will purchase is decidedly lsss.
The great staples, the cereals, how
ever, are not as expensive a the pres
ent time as during the past,

NEW PAVING LAW.

A new state law passed BY the last
Legislature provides that paving at
street intersections. instead Of being
paid for by the city or the owner of
the corner lot, shall be assessed
against all property owners within 400
feet of the intersection. The new
law was passed to cover the follow
ing situation. as outlined in the Des
Moinss Capital:
A man owns g corner lot $50 feet
deep and anywhere from twenty-five
feet to gtxty-stI feet in front footage
II the street at the side Of his lot Is
pared he would be compelled to pay
$50 front feet OF paving under the old
law. despite the fact that he owns
only a twenty-five or thirty foot lot
This is an unjust burden, the legisla
ture figured So it divided up the
cost. Each property owner within 30C
feet Of the paved intersection must
divide up the cost of paving the 10
feet, according to their respective
benefits. The law is based on the
fact that such adjacent property own
ers receive benefit from the paving.

PSALM OF THE HELPERS.
He that turneth from the road to res
cue another,
Turneth toward his goal,
He shall arrive in due time by the
footpeth Of mercy,
God will be his guide,
He that taketh up the burden Of the
fainting
Lighteneth his own load;
The Almighty will put his arms IN
derneath him,
He shall lean upon the Lord.
He that apeaketh comforting words
to mourners,
Healeth his own heart;
In his time of grief they will return
to remembrance,
God will use them for balm.
He that careth for the sick ana
wounded,
Watcheth not alone:
There are three in the darkness to-
gether,
And the third is the Lord.
