The shed at the rear of the United Church is going, yes going, soon it will be gone. Can you imagine a on the development of science, began to bear fruit that every day men could understand. The first was the steam engine. The first steam engines were pumping engines to keep water out of coal and iron mines. Then followed lthe locomotive, and by the middle of the nineteenth century a net work of railways had spread over Europe. The steamboat was, I think, a little ‘ ahead of the locomotive. First it hadlity paddle wheels, these proved unsuitable ,nOt in heavy seas, so the screw followed for for ocean going vessels. , Improve- V ments followed until in 1910, a steam la“ boat crossed the Atlantic in five days. the :1! EYES 3nd EARS? Concurrently, the facilities for hu-; man intercourse developed. The cloc- tric telegraph and the telephone. cul- minating in the wireleSS. Then sud- denly came electiic light, and electric traction. Again it became possible to send power that could be changed into mechanical motion, light or heat as One may choseâ€"Just sent along a copper wire, as water is sent through a pipe. In the eighties a new type of engine came into use, in which the expansive force of an explosion mixture replaced the expansive force of 'steamâ€"crude at first, but they rapidly developed into light highly eficient engines, making possible the automobile, motor boat, aeroplane, and all the other chil- dren of the electric spark and internal combustion. In the eighteenth century the jour- ney from Edinburgh to London took eight days. Now an eight day jourâ€" ney is from London to Melbourne, or half way around the worldâ€"In‘a few hours Colonel Lindberg hopped across the Atlantic. This week the R-100 with full crew, every convenience on board expects to glide back to Engâ€" land in about forty eight hours. So its no use, the horse is going, the church shed is goingâ€"and soon will be gone. THE MECHANICAL AGE Yes, its a mechanical age in which: we live. Its highly efficient; but like highly efficient things and people, it leaves us a little cold at times. Per- haps the worst aspect of the matter is in the realm of mechanical music. They tell me that music teachers lack pupils because people no longer buy pianos, they prefer radios. Another offence is committed in restaurants where one eats a meal to the accomp- animent of a clanging, blatant, highly mechanical orchestra. Again, when you call upon a friend for a little chat, the first thing he or she is prone to do is to twist the dials exclaiming “I wonder what is on the air” then some quartette drones out much sonorous nonsense which is referred to try your host or hostess as a “Theme song,” whatever that may beâ€"-mischievous small boys no longer pump the church organ, an electric motor does the pumping efficiently maybe, but not al- ways silently. Even the Indians are reputed to have termed the old fash- ioned cylindrical records as “canned man.” Of course, its pleasant, in fact a‘ tremendousrelief, when shopping at a departmental store in the city, not to be obliged to climb stairs but to use- escolators and elevators. But the bitter must be taken with the sweet. For the financially harassed husband is reminded by his wife that every properly ordered household is equipped with machinery. Electric this and electric that, curlers, irons, polishers, and what not. Laundry people boldly display advertising posters depicting ladies taking tea, playing golf, and receiving callers; while the laundry does the family washing for sc much a pound. Ladies magazines artistically A’AGE FOUR GOING Z GOING! GONEâ€"â€" of the United (By Elsie Ess) set forth electric washers Where the housewife is sitting fashionably at- tired readingâ€"yes reading on Monday morning if you pleaseâ€"while the ac- cumulated soiled garments possessed by the members of the household is be- ing washed. Gone is the rub-a-dub of the washboard. Gone is the scour- ing with pail and scrub brush. Gone is the beating of carpets. For the day of mechanical vacum cleaners is at hand. Perhaps the saddest aspect of this mechanical era in which we live is when after a sypell of years dodging, hearing, seeing innumerable ingenious mechanical devices we “shuffle off this mortal coil” and the undertaker proceeds to undertake. No team of jet black horscs drags us solemnly to our testing placeâ€"No its the most up to date funeral coach, not drawn at all, but driven by eight cylinders. We have bearers that do little bearing. No, we are trundled up the church aisle on the neatest of mechanical ve- hicles with rubber tires too. It strong- ly resembles a metallic tea wagonâ€"â€" then at the graveside 'nobody lets us {down huumanly and unevenly ending ,with a little thud as our casket fits in- to our own rough boxâ€"oh no, we just go. No one sees us go. We are there on top. Then we are below. Something like a trick a conjurer or ‘mag‘ician might perform at some my- 1stery entertainment. And its all managed by theaid of the most silent, liefficient, but grimest mechanical de- |vice yet invented. * The people of Elgin Mills and vicin- ity are Wondering why the railroad is not running here after their voting for a car service. We are very sorry to hear that Will- iam Patton, of California, son of Mat- thew Patton, of Elgin Mills, is very ill.

No doubt, those who were in Toron- to and places where the Râ€"100 took its flight last Monday morning were able to view the giant dirigible much more distinctly but people about this vicin- ity didn’t have to be there to see its giant form gracefully floating in the air.
