DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

                            ~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~

                                             Chapter 12– Closing Scenes
                   13.  The  steam  fire-engine,  one  of  the


               greatest safeguards of modern times.



               14.  The  Brooklyn  Bridge,  showing  what



               strides have been made in engineering skill in


               these  days.  This  is  probably  soon  to  be


               surpassed  by  a  similar  and  much  larger


               structure,  over  the  Hudson,  connecting  New


               York with Jersey City.



               15.  The  Washington  monument,  the  highest


               solid  monument  in  the  world  (555  ft.,  5½


               inches).




               16.  The  bicycle,  working  a  revolution  in


               suburban personal travel. The manufacturers’


               estimate for the output in 1896, in the United


               States  alone,  is  three  quarters  of  a  million


               machines.  This,  and  trolley  street-car


               propulsion, are rendering horses a drug on the


               market.
