' : WONDERS OLD AND NEW During the past year many new discoveries were “made through the patient researches of scientists * throughout the world. These ranged from the un- earthing of rare fossils of prehistoric times to the latest astounding revelations of the telescope. Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews found in Asia sev- tral skulls of animals which appear to be two million ‘years older than the date heretofore assigned to the beginning of the age of mammals. An ancient city, submerged thirty feet below the Mediterranean’s surface, was found off the coast of Tunis, . An Egyptian tomb, containing an alabaster cof- fin, dating back a full thousand years beyond that of Tut-Ankh-Amen, was discovered. Near Mexico City, the oldest ruins in this hemis- phere so far known, being probably 7,000 years old, were explored. : Spiral nebulae have been determined to be a million. light years distant, through the sensational achievements of Dr. Edwin Hubble, thus expanding the definitely known reaches of space ten-fold. Dr. Sharpley of Harvard found that the star Dorado is the most luminous object yet known, with @ brightness of 600,000 times as great as that of our ae : Through studies of atomic disintegration” sev- eral geologists, working independently, have estimated the age of the earth’s crust at more than a billion years. It was found that induced attacks of malaria @re of value in the treatment of insanity and loco- motor ataxia. Delicate “electric needles that separate the tis- gues before touching them were successfully used, in- @tead of the surgeon's knife, at Johns Hopkins. These are but a few of the accomplishments of the Year 1925. In physics, chemistry and other branches meveries have been made. New truths which thrill ‘the scientific mind are being bronght to light almost @aily, yet they receive little attention from the world =pt large. ENORMOUS STRIKE LOSSES Since the settlement of the recent anthracite coal miners’ strike, im which about 158,000 men were idle for more than five months, numerous estimates as to its eost have been made. J. C. Royle, a leading industrial authority and writer, places the combined losses of “operators and miners at nearly a billion dollars. While this figure seems incredible, it is possible that if it includes the value of the eoal that could have been mined during the strike period, it, may be fairly accurate. At any rate, the losses were so great that the human mind can not grasp their significance. The miners finally returned to work at the Same old wages, with slight prospect for an increase for four years and a half. In addition to the losses suffered by operators and miners, the public was greatly inconvenienced and subjected to higher prices for coal in many localities, although the actual effects were hardly so disastrous as had been feared. The soft coal operators and miners profited ‘to some extent by the strike, but widespread unemploy- ment is a chronic condition in the bituminous fields, and will no doubt remain so while the capacity of the mines is almost double that required to supply the demand. The unsatisfactory condition of the coal indus- try is one of the major economic problems of the United States. s MARION TALLEY’S TRIUMPH Leaping to world-wide fame at a single bound, Marion Talley, 19-year-old daughter of a Kansas City telegraph operator, scored a notable artistic triumph in her debut at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York on February 17. : -The youngest prima donna since Adeline Patti and the youngest ever to appear at the Metropolitan, Miss Talley captivated her 4,000 auditors in the diffi- cult. role of Gilda, in Verdi’s “Rigoletto.” As high as $100 each was paid for admission tickets and thousands were turned away, while sev- eral.hundred’ stood during. the performanee, At the end of the second act Miss Talley was called before the curtain nine times and at the final curtain was given an ovation that brought her back twenty timc. She* charmed her audience with her naturalness and composure, as well as with her golden voice. Four hundred admirers journeyed from Kansas City to wit- ness her conquest of sophisticated New York. Her father took his first vacation in years to be present, and her mother and sister were also with her to share the joy of her success. _ An the opinion of eminent critics, America has given to the world anothér operatic star of the first magnitude. And she is only 19 years old. KING PRAISES SAILORS Since the heroic rescue of the entire crew of 25 officers and men of the British freighter Antinoe by the American liner President Roosevelt, after four days of effort, unstinted praise has been given to the gallant rscuers by the British press and people. So extraordinary was this exploit of the sea, in which the President Roosevelt lost two of her own men, that King George V of Great Britain cabled President Coolidge, as follows: “The news of the heroism displayed by the offi- cers and crew of the President Roosevelt in rescuing under such terrible conditions all hands on the Antinoe has deeply moved me. In expressing my thankful- ness and admiration for this splendid example of skill and gallantry, I know that I am only voicing the feel- ing of all British hearts. At the same time we grieve for the loss of those who nobly sacrificed their lives and would ask you, Mr. President, to assure the be- reaved families of my heartfelt sympathy.” To this President Coolidge replied: “The families of those who lost their lives in this humanitarian effort shall be apprised of your gen- erous expression of condolence. The event is but another illustration of the heroism and gallantry which have characterized alike the mariner of the United States and Great Britain, and while regretting the occasion therefor, I rejoice that American sailors have been able to help those of Great Britain.” MYTHICAL MILLIONAIRES “There was an old woman; she lived in a shoe; She had so many children she didn’t know what to do. She sent them to Florida to rid her of cares; They stayed there a week and returned millionaires.” . The above from the Montgomery (Ala.) Adver- tiser would seem to indicate that the people of Ala- bama are entertaining a rather overdrawn idea about the glowing possibilities of the Land of Flowers. Florida is the greatest state in the world for sun- shine and flowers, health, rest and riches. But mil- lionaires are not turned out at the rate indicated by the above variation of a popular old-time juvenile rhyme. There is wealth to be made in Florida and « good living for all who care to honestly earn it; but disappeintment may await those who expect to come | to this state and amass a fortune overnight without any effort on <heir own part.

Schaff, who is about to’ retire from the presidency of the; Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad, has had more than half a century of} practical experience in the field of; trafisportation, and is generally recog-| nized as one of the ablest operating men among American railroad execu- tives. Mr. Schaff, like so many men of his calling and high status in the contemporary railway world, began at the bottom of the ladder and climbed step by step to the top. He was born in Licking County, Ohio, 70 years ago, and after a common school education began his career as a railway clerk. * He held various pesitions until 1896,. whem he came assistant to the president of the New York Central. In 1895 he be-; came general manager of that sys-; tem, and in 1906 was made a vice-j pres‘dent.
