For the eternal question is ever to be answered; the question first asked by the Pharoahs; then 011 down through the ages, by Ptolemy, the Caesars, Stevenson,F1ankhna11d by the numerous scientists 0f todaygwhere is the ultimate end of civilization 1? In whose hands lies the answer to this question? Obviously and only in the hands of the makers of science. And today the whole world is an able witness of their endeavors. They have her girdled about with cables, and her entire nervous system is a network of wires. Her muscles are the giant indus- tries and her arteries the railroads. The traveler of today boards his train in New York and in a day has covered a distance that required the hardy toilers of yesterday half a cen- tury to accomplish. He meets no Indian nor bear, nor even a sense of desolation such as the first settler felt, when, with the light of hope in his eye and dreams of the great western Empire which lay before him, in his mind, he pushed onward t0 the unknown. But rather he crosses wonder- fully designed bridges, rushes through marvelously constructed tunnels, and is pulled by a mechanism that surpasses the conception of the ordinary man. Unlike Canute, we have harnessed the tides and thrown a halter upon the grandest works of Nature, that cities may be lighted and industries continued. And these men of Science, who are they ? The world of luxury knows them not, the world of sport is an unknown quantity to them. They are found where toil and sweat are factors of each other, where graft and p01- itics have no foothold. And this history has to deal with these men in their early state, when emerging from the realm of youth they cast their eye around and choose 24 Wnug.
