Excerpt from Every-Day Science, Vol. 7: The Conquest of Time and Space
What this all means when applied on a larger scale may be suggested by the reflection that the entire character of the occupation of the average' resident of England has been changed within a century. A century ago England was a self-supporting nation, in the sense that it produced its own food-stuffs. To - day the popu lation of England as a whole is dependent upon food shipped to it from across the oceans. Obviously such a transformation could never have been effected had not the application of steam revolutionized the entire character of transportation.
