HomeMy WebLinkAboutExeter Times, 1896-2-13, Page 314 was but last year that the proctit

to the knowledge et neenkind. We Mean
the discovery ienown as the liquefactiort
of atmospheric, eh, spoken of as "liquid
air." The re.searches and experiments
of a French chemist, as fan back as 1887,
had established the law or priuciple
which, withal a ehort time, leas become
utilized, in a remarkable manner and
with valuable resulte, by Prof. Dewar
of Eugland, Interesting articles upon
the subject have recently been Pub-
lished. in, the London Times and. the
Scottish. Review. In ehort, liquid air,
OX oxygen, can now be turned. out in
unmeasured 'volume. as an rerticle of
commerce, useful for indu,strial pue-
Poses, and perhaps available be submar-
ine navigation. Patents have been tak-
en oela for the necessary machinery
and apparatus, which need not be here
described. Full importance of the dis-
covery and the range of its application
cannot yet be guessed at; but Prof.
Dewar speaks of 14 in terms that may
mesa a good deal of hope, -
For the year ending 1896 the first
scientific announcement of 'importance
has come to us from Vienna, or rather
frara the University ef Wurzburg. In
short, Prof. Itotetteen of that institution
is said to have discovered a potency,
heretofore auknown, in atmospheric
space, through which certain rays pene-
trate organic) matter and other opaque
eubstance.s, just as Other rays penetrate
glass. It is alleged that one can look
upon the skeleton of a living person
throtegli the flesh, and that the discov-
ery has already been used for the plea-
togthphing of broken bones and of bul-
lets in human bodies. We have not
yet heard much about this potency from
the scieutifie world; and we can only
smile at the fantastic speculations about
it which imaginative writers have in-
dulged in within the past fortnight. If
the alleged discovery saall be justified
by experience, there will be no one to
doubt the exeeetling importance of it
as an agency in applied seleuce service-
able to mankind.

As to further discoveries in science,
We have been interested in a letter re-
cently written by the most eminent
electrician in New 'York, Mr. Nikala
Testa, about, a possible discovery for
which we shall have to wait. He speaks
of the advantages that would accrue to
mankirsi from the demonstration "that
the earth's electrical charge can be dis-
tributed, and thereby electrical waves
effielently tranemitted to any distance
without the unt of cables or wires." He
believes that "the conveying of motive
power in this manner from its source to
rrt.oe, however remote, would in-
crease Mary times the productive cap-
aeity of mankind." And Mr. Teel°. is
so bold as to trust that the discovery
thus spoken of may be made in the year
which has just begun. Few men are
entitled to pass a judgment adverse, to
that. of Testa upon this matter, or upon
any question in electricity.

Modern inventions as they are devel-
oped will solve some if not all of the
problems which have vexed the ages.
This generation will doubtless see tbe
beginning of the end of one of the evils
which have long baffled philanthropists
and economists, viz.: The overcrowded
tenement -house districts of large cities.
With improved electric roads, not to
speak of the wheel in its limitless var-
iations, working men and laborers, as
well as men of wealth, may have homes
in the country. The time is coming
when the toil -worn laborer, clerk or
artisan can leave his work in the
heart of the city and go afmost as on
wings ten. and twenty miles into the
country to reetful surroundings, fresh
air and all the soothing influences of
nature. 'Iris children, instead of swarm -
bag among their pale -faced. companions
elose rooms and dark, ill -smelling
courts, surrounded by high tvalls, will
run about in rain and sunshine, infields
and meadows; life will have beauty and
charm. for them.
It is enough to make one glad to
hear the wires singing of what is com-
ing in. the near future. Soon to elan
dren, let us hope, the city will .be a
far -away place, to be yisited occasion-
ally, but never to be lived in. They
must grow with the grass and the flow-
er,s, trees and slaeubs, hear the rain
falling a nights an lectafy boughs or
bare branches, and see the morning sun
shintng on the summer or winter world
in equal beauty and glory. They will
go to school along pleasant roads
through wide mea,dows, and under the
boughs of growing trees, and come in
joyous health and happiness at even-
ing to homes planted in the midst of
flower gardens. To the men and wo-
men who work daily -in. the noise, con-
tusion alad smoke-begrirned city, going
home to the country every night will
be a blessing beyond thepower of words

beautiful and matodamized. The horses'
hoofs clatter and ring, and they who
ride over it spin along the higlaway,
until suddenly they find tha,t the road
breaks over an embankment, and they
try to halt, and they saw the bit tn
the moath of the fiery steed and cry
"Wawa whoa!" I3u4 it is too late, and
crash! they go over the emuanktuent.
We shall turn aria S3e 11 we cannot find
a different kind of road. You have
heard of the Appian way; It was 350
miles long. It was 24 feet wide, and.
on either side of the road was a petit
Lor foot pa.ssengers. It was made out
of rocks cut in hexagonal shape and fit-
ted together. Wbat a road it must have
been I Made of smooth, hard rock, 350
miles long. No wonder that in the con-
struction of it the treasures of" a whole
empire were exhaueted. Because of in-
vaders, and the elements and time -the
old eonqueror who tears up a roan as be
iree.e over it -there is nothing left of
that stru.cture but a rum. But I have
to tell you of a road built before the
Appian way, and yet it is as good as
when first constructed. Millions of
souls have gone over Mations more
will come.
The prophets and apostles, ;too,
Pursued this road while here below,
We therefore will, without dismay,
Still walk in Christ, the good old way.
First this road of the text is the
King's highway. In the diligence you
dash on over the Bernard pass of the
Alps, mile after mile, mail there is not
so much as a pebble to jar the wheels.
You go over bridges which cross chasms
that make you hold your breath, un-
der projecting rock, along by danaer-
one prempicee, through tunnels a,drip
with the meltings of the glaciers ,and
eerhaps for the first time learn the
majesty of a road built and supported
by Governmental authority. Well, my
Lord the King decided to build a, high-
way from earth to heaven. It should
span all the ebastas of human wretch-
eolness. It should tunnel all the moun-
tains of.earthly difficulty. It should be
wide enough and strong enough to
hold ,50,000,000,000,00o of the human
race, if so many of them should. ever
be born. It should be blasted out of
the "Rack of Ages," and cemented with
the blood of the cross, and be lifted
amid the shouting of angels and the
execration of devils. The King sent
his Son. to build that road. He put
head and. hand and heart to it, and
after the road was completed. waved
His 'blistered hand over the way, cry-
ing, "14 15 finished!" Napoleon paid
15,000,000 francs for the building of the
Simplon. road that his cannon might
go over for the devastation of Italy,
but our King at a greater expense has
built a 'road for a different purpose
that the banners of heavenly dcfnunion
/night come clown over it. Being a
King's highway, of course it is well
built. Bridges splen.didly arched and
abuttressed have given. way and crush-
ed the passengers who attempted. to
cross them. But Carat the Kin,g
would build no such thing as that.
The work done he mounts the char-
iot of His love and multitudes mount
with Hira, and He drives on and up
the ste.ep. of heaven amid the plaudits
of gazing worlds! The work is done-
done--gloriciusly clone -magnifi-
cently done.
St:ill further, this road ;spoken of is
a clettn..road. Many a, fine road has
become miry arid foul because it has
not. teeth properly cared for, but my
text seya the uncleanly 'shall not walk
on this oiae. Room on :either aide to
throw -away your sins. Indeed, 'if you
want; to carry them along you. are not
