He said that since Pritain was destined to bo the cradle of the steam age, the growth of efficiency was over synchronous. But other countries lifted their heads to me- chanical skies. They, too, began to en- gineer, and while our efforts were slowed... down they forged ahead. The genius of Anglo-Saxondom awoke in America. Its encouragement to inventors called forth to- success many improvements in every branch of engineering On the Continent it was the same.
