: | 70TH ANNIVERSARY NUMBER - | SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN i JUNE 5th, 1915 7 HE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN was founded sev- : enty years ago, ata time when the United States of ae i America was industrially less developed than South Africa at the present time. Even territorially, it was ~ not the same country we know now; for California, - Texas and the great Southwest belonged to Mexico. ed During that long period of seventy years the Scientific American faithfully chronicled the technical and et 4 - BELL industrial progress which we Americans made. Its editors saw the advent of the reaper, the telegraph, the telephone, the great trans-continental railways, the laying of the trans-Atlantic cable, the develop- ment of the giant steamship, the perfection of the phonograph, the glow of the first electric incandes- id cent lamp, the coming of the motion picture machine, the miracles wrought by wireless telegraphy, and more recently the conquest of the air. nd 1 le What an age of wonders it has been! What a transformation has been wrought upon the face of the earth! Surely no tale of the Arabian Nights, no fantasy of Jules Verne depicts marvels so amazing as those which the Scientific American has been the first to describe authoritatively as soon as they appeared. of June 5th a number was published in which the Editors endeavored to . do full justice to the great theme of American invention—a number which will transport us all back to the time when our fathersand our , n grandfathers still burned candles, when horses pulled street cars, when nlf = there were no automobiles and when the steam railroad wasa curiosity. | WESTINGHOUSE r WAR NUMBERS G he first issue in each month is a Special Magazine Number containing double amount of reading matter. e: Since the beginning of the War these numbers have naturally taken the form of War Issues.
