a Modern ReuuIus,

There are some bright rays to illu-
inmate the darkness, despair and DESC
lation Of the war. It is related in the
dispatches that Frenchman in prison
in Germany. learning that his mother
was dying, wrote to the emperor beg
ging leave to go to her bedside and
pledging his honor that he would re-
turn 10 Germany by the first of March.
The kaiser at once gave orders for the
release of the prisoner on the terms
he proposed. The Frenchman depart
ed and was with his mother when she
died, and then he kept faith and went
back to his prison. It is pleasant to
see that the kaiser in the midst of the
vast responsibility and toll with which
he is charged takes time and thought
for such acts of mercy and human
kindness as this.-Baltimore Sun.

Evolution and Revolution
By Hudson Maxim.

This is an age of mechanism age
wherein man made mechanism more and
more replaces hand work. Everywhere
in our industries of peace we have seen
labor saving machinery replace the Ia
Dor of human hands. Today all the men
in the world could not do by hand all
of the worlds blowing and sowing and
reaping and carrying of the worlds food
to market: and all the women in the
world could not today do the worlds
sewing without the sewing machine, and
all the men in the world and all the
women in the world combined could not
TODAY do a tenth of the worlds writing
without the typewriter and typesetting
and printing machinery.
One of the giant dredges that have
been ladling out of the Panama canal the
vast Iandslides can do the pick and
shovel and wheelbarrow work of a thou
sand men. Everywhere, in everything
we do. and in everything done for us, we
find human hands now mainly engaged
in guiding the work of labor-saving
machinery. ~ n
The people of the United States of
America have been able to develop their
enormous resources and keep abreast of
the worlds industrial progress mainly
by the invention OF labor-saving- mach
inery under the protection of our patent
law.
In our competition with other nations
for the markets of the. world no one
thinks of referring to the >prowess of our
