Man, the creation of Nature, follows in her footsteps, and Btqadily B,eeks a higher plane by rejecting the less worthy, and selecting that at his command which \s the most practical. This progress in civilisation is marked in all details of life, and particularly in the different apparatus or mechanical contrivances for c very-day contingencies. One by one the less fitting drop out, or are literally crowded aside by those offering superior advantages. Steam had superseded ~ sail. The old time horological contrivances ate pushed to the rear by the newer, less "costly, and more reliable appliances of today.
