SCIENCE
By "PEG"
Never in the history of the world
has such !advancement v neeznent been made in
the line of .science as there bas been
during the last few years, !Scientists
bate been working along ,practioalay
every line. It is tragic that the pur-
eult of their efforts has led in many
instances to their deaths. iBecent3y
we have had instances of where part
of the apparatus with which they
were pursuing !their efforts has ex
ploded with the resultant passing
on of the wouldsbe discoverer of some
wellworthwhile element •which would
mean a great deal to the world,
In 1941 Sir Ferderick ,Ranting,
awhile taking an air trip. for scien-
tifle purposes crashed with the !plane
in whioh he was a passenger, thus
ceding a life- which was filled with
much promise along seientific lines.
He hada great deal to (do with the
discovery of insulin, He died at the
ageef56.
Telegraph messages are now sent
and have been since 1896 by an in-
trzrmenk invented by Gugliemo Mar-
coni. Trans -oceanic 'messages were
first sent in 1902 and this beeame a
public wireless system across the A+-
lantic in 1907. He was 63 year old.
ell great dicovery which is still used
and whieh saves many, many lives
was that made by Emil von Behring
a .distinguished German scientist,
when he perfected anti -toxin, a pre-
ventative for diphtheria, our children
are now ,protected against -this dread
disease. He, too, was 63.
One of the greatest discoveries of
all time is that of radii/in, discovered
by Pierre Curie and his wife, Marie
Curie, One has only to read their
lives to know how hard tbey worked
in order to bring some relief to vic-
tims et that dread disease of eancer.
Pierre Curie passed away at the
early age of 47, but his wife carried
on this important research until she
was 67. ! r '
This year we have observed the
• centenary of a great Canadian dis-
covery, that of the telephone. So won-
derful was this that •the government
issued a special postage stamp to
mark the occasion. The beginning of
this may be traced to the correction
of defective utterance in which the
father and grandfather of Alexander i
Graham Bell, the discoverer of thea
telephone, were very mush interest,
ed. His early life was spent in teaeh-
ing schools for the deaf. When his
permits! can n
Drat a to Canada they settled
near Brantford. There young Bili
worked ram day and during the even-
ingand farinto the night he followed'
his hobby, whieh was telegraphy. At
the .same time he had in mind the
telephone, for just before its discov-
ery he wrote ho his parents, 'I
think that .transmission of the humanvoice is more nearly at hand than 1
supposed." One day it became clear
to Bell that his invention could be
perfected, In speaking of it ,after•
wards he said, "The conception of the
telephone took place in 1874 during
summerthe suer visit to my fathelr's
residence in Brantford, and the .ap-
aratus was just as it was subse-
quently made, a one -membrane tele-
phone on either end." He lived to be
85.
Recently we wrote on Thongs Edi-
son, an. American inventor, As a boy
he was much interested in electricity.
To him may be attributed ,many in-
ventions, more than 1,300 of •which
were patented. Among these Was a
system of multpilex telegraphy, the
phonograph and a method of perfect,
Mg carbon filaments for the electric
lamp. He lived to be 87.
Thus we see the time of scientists
range from little over youth to Did
age. Very little in this world which
is worthwhile is ever gotten without
hard work. This cerainly is true of
scientific discoveries. It is not in
polish floored, rugged and easy -chair-
ed rooms that inventions are per-
fected.
Many°of these inventions have been
started when ,the scientist was a mere
child, Patients should not discourage
their sons and daughters when they
have a hobby in 'which they are truly
interested, Encourage them, giving
them what equipment you are able
to. Who knows but what they may
turn out to be a Marie Curie, an Al-
exander Graham Bell or a Thomas
Edison.
As citizens of to -day, especially the
youth of our land, do we feel that
we are accomplishing anything? Some
of us are doing little to better world
affairs!. We say the U.N. are solv-
ng our difficulties. Are they? We
11 have a part - in it. Alt the close
of the day we can look bank and see

great:grandchildren.
where we have done anything worth
while? We cannot unless we have al
lowed .Ohrist to enter our lives. Let
us leave •things which are not worth-
while alone and seek something which
will be a benefit to us in years to
come.
Many a scientist has become 'Nis
couragod feeling that his research
is not progressing favorably, but they
have not given up, and ,wheat joy is
theirs when at •Iast vietory has cone
to them. Over the entrance to -the
University of Pennsylvania, the fol-
lowing words are inscribed: "In the
dust of defeat as well as in the'laurel
of vietory, there is glory to :be found,
if one has done his best". That is a
lesson for us all.
Many have !brandied out into all
fomes of science and have become
masters of them. There is one thing
Which has never been conquered by
mortal man, and that is Death, Sci-
entists have tried to solve this prob-
lem. Some claim to have brought the
dead back to lite, but when our time
comes we must each one go to face
our !Master.
If Christ were to call us to -dray
would we be ready to go? In John 3;
16, Christ tells its that whosoever is
ready to accept Him He will in no
wise cast them out? Is that not a
blessed ,promise? It is there for us'
to accept it or 'to reject it.; !Let us
come to Him before .it is .too late,
