Show WONDERS OF A WORLD NEW EDITION OF THE MIGHTIEST THINGS. Electricity Changing the Whole Order of Homan Existence Forces and Factors Take the Places of Inanimate Bodies. The ten wonders of the world, what are they today, within two years of the beginning. . of the twentieth century? If fifty persons were severally asked to mention the greatest ten wonders that confront the human race, it is quito unlikely that any two would give the same list. The Giants Causeway in Ireland, the Natural in Virginia, Niagara Falls and fridge the circulation of the blood, formerly set down as belonging to the ten, would be passed by as accepted results of Natures laws, no more to be wondered at than the flight of a bird or the drowning of a land lubber who topples over the bulwarks of a big seagoing liner. , Electricity and its widening field of service to mankind, it seems to the writsr, is entitled to about the foremost place in the list. Without the telegraph and telephone our swiftest modes of communication between distant cities on the same continent would be by railway trains, carrier pigeons or balloons, all subject to delays and uncertainties of weather or accident. On the sea, market quotations would travel by steamboat instead of flashing with the speed of thought for thousands cf miles through the depths of the watery wastes. Wonderful beyond the grasp of the mind is the quick dissem-inatio- n of news, business orders and 'Payments, and all kinds of information by means of the telegraph and tele-- " hone. Speed in transmitting and delivering such speaking an ftf writing is greatly facilitated by stenography and the typewriter. Electricity drives trains, propels all kind3 of machinery, cooks food, heats buildings, operates delicate recording hi struments, puts Niagaras power to use in the distant city of Buffalo, lights cities, houses, stores, places of public assemblage, boats and mines.

MARYSVALE, 1TUTE COUNTY, UTAH: SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1898. II. VOL. V The printing press might be called the second wonder. Without it including the typewriter as one form of press our mode of putting our thoughts on paper would be writing. This would carry us back to a primitive condition. The teeming thoughts of a million writers could never be imparted to the understanding of hundreds of millions of readers without the wonderful agency of the press. Its power in molding the character of nations and communities is immeasurable, its greatest agency being the newspaper. The preacher, the doctor, the lawyer, the sheriff: soldiers, courts, producers, workingmen, teachers and idlers all have special lines, but the newspaper has a wider field than any1 of these. It reflects the operation of them all. It is the mirror of the world. law-mak- Modern transportation is the third wonder. The bodies of living and dead men and animals are swung cross continents, and over rolling dkeans, like the fleecy clouds that fly along overhead. We are so used to this that we do not pause to think of it as a' wonderful exhibition of mans controUing power on land and sea, but it is none the less wonderful. Look at the flight of the fast mails on the American continent, or in Europe! See yonder gold digger, crossing the blazing equator, sitting in his bunk room dside an outfit of Arctic clothes he will wear in less than a month far north of Juneau. He Is trotting around the bulges of the earth like a flee crawling on an apple. . Wa wonder no journey for more at his world-wid- e gold than we would at a farmers trip to the back forty for a load of pump kins. Wonderful journeys are made but they, 'too, hve ceased to excite surprise. Another inhigh grade of coal. ventor has outdone the alchemists by making gold from common metals. Restaurant keepers in the great cities grow rich on profits of a cent a meal because nothing is allowed to go to waste, either by the wholesaler or the restauranteur, who play into each others hands to use all the cheap meats. Economy is practiced in heating, lighting, the application of power in factories, and in the shifts of large bodies of men employed by big factories. As the population of nations and the world multiplies hundreds of fold, the wonder as to the means by which these people will all 'subsist will be explained by that one word, economy. Chemistry and microscopy are doing much to keep the food of the human race pure and wholesome. The development of hidden forces is another wonder of the world. This may be said to be connected with the Insanity of genius. The ancients believed that there were four principles in man, and that their destiny was the flesh to earth, the ghost to the tomb, the soul to hades and the spirit to heaven. A ghost, according to the rules of phantasy, ought to be without matter or form, or indeed any sensible properties. Yet are very serious tales related of guns bursting when fired at them and swords broken by their contact, and of loud voices issuing from filmy phantoms through which the moonbeams are seen to glimmer. A spirit ought, of course, to communicate with us in another way than that which we know, and possess those etheral faculties of creeping through chinks or keyholes, and of resuming its airy form, like the sylph of Belinda, when the glittering forfex had cut it in twain. The prophecy of specters has never been doubted by many persons supposed to enjoy sanity of mind. .The shade of Romulus appeared to Juli03 Proculus, a patrician, foretelling of Rome. The fate of the battle cf Philippi was shown to Brutus in his tent by the evil spirit of Caesar; and Cassius alsor saw the phantom of Julius on his horse, prepared to strike him, shortly before his suicide. In the Talmud we read of the announcement of the Rabbi Samuels death to two of his friends six hund-e- d miles off. There is no greater v, older" ttrus tbatr Lhe Yhystcfy of ReathT In that awful moment when the spirit is soon to burst from its cell of clay, the mind is prone to yield to those feelings which it might perhaps in the turmoil of the busy world and at another period deem superstition. There is something in the approach of death of so holy and so solemn a nature, something so unKke life in the feeling of the dying, that in this transition, although we can not compass the mystery, some vision of another world may steal over the retiring spirit, imparting to it a proof of its immortality. As in these extreme moments of life, so in the hour of extreme danger, when an awful fate is impending and the world and our sacred friendships are about to be lost to us; a vision of our absent friends will pass before us --with all the light of reality. The sixth wonder in my list is the appearance of women within a short time in nearly all of the fields of human endeavor formerly occupied exclusively by men. They are weaker, they admit, but machinery assists them in the factories, and the courtesy of men helps them along in the professions and in business. Women now are clerks in stores, operatives in factories, waiters in hotels, telegraph operators, candy makers, cigar makers, brush makers, watch makers. They teach nearly all the school children of America, write for newspapers and magazines, set type, sell tickets for railroad corporations, form the largest parts of theatrical troupes, and work in art, music and making all kinds of fancy goods for big dry goods and department stores. They instruct at bicycle schools and natatoriums, ride the mowing machine, stack straw, and occasionally drive street cars and work at new railroad grading. Thousands of young men in every great city complain that they cannot find employment owing to the competition waged successfully against them by young women. The mighty army of youthful ladies as a rule detest domestic service. If they marry they must learn after marriage how to mix the batter for their first batch of pan Like an invading army, drivcakes. ing the men before them, this volume of women sweeps on While we step aside and wonder what the end will be of such a movement, which is a new problem in the worlds history. Some social students attribute the vices of cur large cities as the natural result of the congregation within their borders of so many bachwomen. This conclusion may elor be erroneous, but the disagreeable fact remains that many of the young men are still searching for employment, with little hope of success. The economy in the saving of products Used for foodand in the mechan ical and Industrial arts is the fourth wonder, Nowadays nothing goes to waste. The parts of a steer slaugli tered at Chicago or Kansas City at one of the great killing and packing es tablishments may go in forty different directions to be applied to as many uses, but not an iota of that valuaale animal is thrown away. Paper is made largely of waste material and constructed into thousands of beautiful and useful articles, from pen holders to car wheels.
