A study of the wonders of this solence leads one to some weird ideas of what ita future bolds for humanity. The surprises it has given US, the tances covered, the obstacles penetrated and the problems solved have placed this first among the helpful sciences known to man.

Boob as it may prove to be in many cases, however, it can be foreseen as a bugbear in others.
