MAN'S LITTLENESS AND GREATNESS ' bestir themselves out of their usual,undem- . onstrative routine, and just to let man see Ordinarily man and his works are very much in evidence on this earth. The cities he has builded form such blot-ches on . the plains of this planet that they are doubtless `visible to the goggle-eyed deni- Iens of Mars. His canals and tunnels set at defiance the barriers which continents and mountain ranges have put in his way.= His ships have become oating cities. His! railways and aeroplanes compete with the sun in his race around the world. -and his, telegraphs and telephones, outrunning time, leave the sun far behind in the contest of. speed. and nearly catch up with thought ying round and round the globe.
