The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1916-08-10

Under perhaps the most dramatic
circumstances ever attending the OPP
ening Of a new highway, 200 automo-
biles, $50 Of which were Studebakers,
participated in . parade from Pixies
Peak; July 18th, and successfully as
cended the new Pixies Peak Highway
for the first time.
The celebration marked the formal
dedication of the new highway, which
is the highest and in many respects
the most wonderful motor road in the
world. The summit of Pixies Peak is
14,150 feet above the level of the sea.
Now that the new highway is con,-
pleted, the trip to the summit of Pixies
Peak is nc longer the bugbear to tour
lists that it ono was. The long twist
ing uphill journey, however, still fur
nishes a severe trial to the power and
hill-climbing ability of any car. Aside
from the many sharp grades that are
encountered between the base and the
peak, there is the consideration of the
distance above sea level and the rari-
fled atmosphere at the 14,150 foot al
titude which imposes tests upon the
efficiency of a motor car.
OF the $50 S%tudebaker cars that
made the climb up the Pixies Peak
Highway, all made the trip uccess-
fully and without trouble, giving them
a performance record of 100 per cent
perfect, according to a dispatch from
Colorado City.
Although far from being a Joy ride
the journey up the Pixies Peak High
way is expected to prove me of the
most popular for motorists in the west
It is predicted that many tourists who
hitherto passed up this drive will
make it in the future. The highway
is the result of long and patient effort
in building, and is a very expensive
stretch of road construction.

Rabies

Several cases Of rabies have developed over
the State and health officers. are advised to
use proper vigilence in the endeav7or to pre-
vent it's spread. Where a case appears in a
locality the health officer should be notified at
once that the victim may have the benefit Of
Pasteur treatment. The health officer will
then order all dogs tied or muzzled as a pre-
caution against further trouble. To wait UNI
til the disease develops in a canine and sever
al persons bitten is simply to invite disaster
and to expose the community to a dangerous
foe. When one is bitten by a suspicious ami
ma the dog should be tied up at once for a
period of time sufficient to determine whether
rabies develops. Should the suspicion be con-
firmed then the head of the animal should be
sent to the Public Health Laboratory for an
alytical diagnosis. A positive report from
the laboratory will then afford the person af-
f1icted plenty of time for treatment.
Cases Of this kind warrant more than dill
atory discussion and %inaction. Health Off
GERS are requested to use their police power
and inforce the muzzling of dogs or suffer the
owner the penalty of having his dog shot.

The Golden Age

The Encyclopedias Britannica, in its 14S years
OF existence, has seen and chronicled almost all
the great inventions and discoveries which have
made the modern world what it is 1t was born
two years after Watt took out his first patents
for the steam engine. and while the spinning
Jenny and power loom were being perfected.
Its successive editions have described the rise
of England's great manufacturing industry and
then that of Europe and America; the first loco
motives of Stevenson; the first steamboats, OF
Fulton; the first steamships to cross the Atlantici
the building of the Great Eastern; the laying Of
the first Atlantic cable; Whtney's invention Of
the cotton gin; Elias Howe's sewing machine;
Mccormick reapers and mowers; Sir Humphrey
Davy's electric light and Faradays momentous
discovery of machine-made electricity; the first
dynamoS; the first electric motors; Morse tele-
graph Bell stelephone; the development Of the
modern piano and the mechanical pano-player;
the photograph and its wonders; the wireless
telegraph and wireless telephone; the motor car;
the aeroplane; the multipex printing machines
which grind out newspapers at the rate OF
100000 an hour-in brief, all the modern mar
wells of human ingenuity which have banished
famine from civilized lands and made this the
richest and most interesting period of human
history.

Britannica
The Britannica's Part

The Encyclopaedia Britannica has chroni'
cled all this progress, been contemporaneouS
with it, But il has been more than that; il has
deeply contributed TO this progress. We know
that far back il was the reading of articles on
Electricity and Chemistry in the Fourth Edition
of the Britannica which turned the mind OF
Faraday to scientific research. II was the
articles of Thomas Thomsonin the Third Edition
which made known the ideas Of John Dalton
which were the foundation OF modern chem
istry. The ideas of Nautilus and Of James Mill
and many other great thinkers first found
popular exposition in the Britannica. All the
notable men of science, scholars, and men OF
letters from the days of Sir Walter Scott and
Playfair, Thos. Young and Lord Jeffrey down
to the present time have been contributors to
the successive editions And many OF its longer articles
have subsequently been published in book FORM.
Many OF the most brilliant writers the English race
has produced. Lord Macaulay DeQuncey. Huxley,
Matthew Arnold the poet Swinburne, Lord Morley. Lord
Robert Louis Stevenson, and Sir Leslie stephen
have contributed notable articles.
The Britannica has been and still remains not merely
vast repository OF knowledge. but has dist nguishef
place IN English literature well And never was this
true CHER degree than in the Eleventh Edition.
which has brought together contributions OF more than
1900 of the bestnormed minds living Yet with all

A Long Sweep Of Time

The beginnings Of the Encyclopedias
Britannica 90 back to a world which would
seem TO US very strange-a time when there
were few stage coaches even in England and
very few in America; when the first modest
steam engines of Watt were beginning to make
England the great producing country OF
the EARTH and her industrial empire was being
founded upon the discovery of way to smelt
iron with this same coal.
George III was King and the greater Pitt
Lord Chatham-was Prime Minister George
Washington, jefferson, John Adams, were
then little known leaders Of the English Colo
MES which sparsey settled the eastern shore OF
America The only American OF European
fame was Benjamin Franklin.
Link-boys with torches still lighted the
gentry through the murky streets of London
4 candle was the most brilliant light that any
king in Europe could boast Most people in the
Colonies wore homespun clothes. Terrible cpl
denies were frequent; sanitation was almost
unknown and highway robberies abounded in
all the countries OF Europe.
A voyage 10 America required from six to
ten weeks or more shipwrecks were many
and great number died en- route from scurvy
and other diseases.

The Huge Outlay Involved

The eleven editions which have appeared al

have cost more to produce than any other ten
works of reference or anything elSe) in any lam
guage and more than any twenty other works
published in English.
The English Dictionary of National Biography
has now reached its SEVENTEEN volume. The
German Encyclopedia of Ersch and Gruber, be-
gun more than a century ago and still incomplete,
has passed its goth volume. The New English
Dictionary, still incomplete, has cost huge sum,
