HOW A GREAT INVENTION WAS
BORN

George Stephenson was an engine
wright in an English colliery.
Not a very lofty situation. was it,
this engineman In a coal mine2
Yet Stephenson made it a fulcrum
from which to move the world
This was how he did it: The port
was nine miles distant from the mine
A tram road ran between. the cars be-
ing hauled by horses or mules.
Stephenson said he could make
steam engine that would do the work
Others poohpoohed and sneered in
the blind way that ignorance and stu
pidity jeer at genius
In two years Stephenson completed
his engine. and it worked.
The result was the locomotive and
the Inauguration Of a new age in the
worlds transportation.
No one can measure the influence of
the railroad on human progress, yet it
was started by humble man in low
~ station.
This man had an idea and applied it
to the Immediate task be had in hand.
He used the materials about him. De-
spite doubts and ridicule he remained
loyal to the light given him.
Today he is among the immortals.
1t was exactly 100 years ago that
George Stephenson was building his
engine at the Killingworth colliery.
The succeeding century has seen the
most wonderful progress In the worlds
history. and to this the poor engine
wrights idea has perhaps been the
chief contributor.
Such has been the history Of prac-
tically all great inventions They have
been made by poor men who had to
combat the unbelief Of their fellows.
The steamboat. the telegraph. the
in point They were designed by think
ers who had greater regard for their
own ideas than for the hootings OF
those who did not understand.
These inventors followed the inner
light rather than the outer darkness.
They had vision.
They possessed the individual initia-
tive to start. the energy to continue
and the perseverance to carry through
a great undertaking.
They were that rarest and highest
human ccmbina tion-practical idealists
They were benefactors, who have
made this new and better world

The Hook Worm.

In lecture delivered in the Ly-
ceum Theater in Monroe Monday
night, Dr.. I. E. Wright, who is in
charge of the hook worm campaign,
announced that from his eXamina-
ton tifty-seven per cent of the
school children are infected. For
tunately the people are not readily
disturbed by such declarations
which are accepted conservatively.
The hook worm, as are many ills
which have been more or less prev
alent for years, was doubtless in
great activity during the progress
of the four years war between the
States, but it was not so designated,
and therefore as it was not known,
no one worried over it.
According to the up-to-date
scientists the hook worm is pro-
duced from moldy corn and corn
meal. At the discovery of the
worm, which is of recent date, it

poor were the infected, but little
later it was proclaimed that the
millionaire was no less a subject for
the worm.
If in this enlightened and pro-
gresslVe age we We're to accept Sc
riously every theory of the pro-
fessional i'll athority, life would
scarcely be worth the living, since,
as it is said that at each breath and
at each opening Of the mouth to ar
ticulate Il word we gulp millions of
germs, which are deadly, but which
fortunately are absOrbed' and are
destroyed by a good germ within us.
Indeed, we should feel grateful to
the good germ and should indulge
its cultivation with the hest Of
graCes. If it We're not for this good
germ, we could not live a minute
think of it.

New Game Laws Are More Uniform.

New Game Laws Are More Uniform.
Badges as big as butter plates. bear
ing the hunting license numbers Of the
wearers, must be worn by sportsmen
when they take the field ia Ohio or
Pennsylvania, while gunners who cross
the Canadian line into Manitoba or
Saskatchewan must go clad in immac-
ulate white
These are some Of the peculiar re-
quirements set forth in a synopsis Of
the game laws issued by the depart,
ment of agriculture.
The departments analysis OF the
game laws Of the various states and
Canada discloses the fact that virtually
every state and the provinces across
the border has undertaken to protect
both big game and migratory birds,
Even Wyoming, recognized as among
the last of the big game hunters ha-
vens, has enacted drastic laws to safe
guarl the elk and other game and has
shortened the hunting season, besides
limiting the size Of the bag" that may
be made.
Greater uniformity Of laws is the
general trend Of state legislatures in
the matter of reasons.
A marked feature Of the legislation
OF the year it adds. was the rapid pro-
gress made in the establishment Of
game and bird refugees. In addition to
the creation of four such refugees by
federal order. many Of the states have
established immunity zones by prohib,
iting hunting ia certain sections,
