Many saw nothing but gloom in the future. Christopher Cornelius, of Philadelphia, got cheers from sailors in 1822 by inventing a light-| house lamp to burn lard by the solar principle, Now we have electric beacons of 1,000,000,000 candlepower. Texas’ first cotton was grown in 1822 by Col- onel Jared E. Groce, in the bottom of the Brazos de Dios. « Congress made Florida a territory: and. held forth the alluring hope that it might some day become a state. The navy won much renown by capturing and destroying 20 pirate ships off the cost of Cuba. Gaudy dresses became possible for even the humblest, in 1822, when Messrs. Mason and Bald- win made the first engraved cylinders for printing fancy designs on calico. eon All around, you'll agree, 1822 was a dull year, compared with 1922. The people of 2022 will think the same of 1922. LOW You have an “off day” occasionally. You look around, notice that every one acts as if he needed winding. Then the old alibi: today. May be the weather.” On such days, the current called life-force is Something is wrong at the central power house, Twenty thousand electric stoves were sold last The figure seems too low. It is very small, in a nation of at least 20,000,000 homes, each needing a stove. Se If you could come back to earth 150 years from now, you’d find nothing but electric ranges. Electricity will be the only fuel of the future. iz SPENDTHRIFT Years ago, the Canadian government gave a logging company a permit to take 100,000 logs out of Ontario. The company felled 300,000 and took every third. tree, the best. Today, on a hunting trip up north, you can see the largest of the 200,000 wasted trees slowly rotting on the ground. ‘ Seems like frightful waste. ishing forests. CUPID SCOWLS How many. Americans, more than 50 years old, are unmarried? About 2,000,000, reports’ the census bureau. It estimates that only 100,000 of them will every marry. Is Cupid losing his aim? Probably not. Chances are, the percentage of the population that goes through life single is about the same as ever. Love and marriage are instinctive, and instinct requires more than.a decade or century to change it. One thing is certain, and the census shows it: The age of marriage is being raised. Not like , grandma’s day, when, 16-year-old brides were not unusual. i About 10 per cent of our women marry before 3 ' ~ Editor | til after they’re 30.
