A New Competition
The Editor offers a prize of 15 for a list of The. Seven Wonders of the Modern World (20th Century)..
EACH list should be of definite, concrete " Wonders." It would not be sufficient, for example, to choose Aeroplanes or Wireless ; it would be necessary to mention a particular feat of engineering or construction. Or to take another instance, Skyscraper would be too vague, but the Woolworth Building would be admissible. In order to refresh the memories of our competitors we give the usual list of the " Wonders of the Ancient World " :-(1) The Pyramids, (2) The Lighthouse of Alexandria, (3) The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, (4) The Temple of Diana at Ephesus, (5) The Statue of Olympian Zeus, (6) The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, (7) The Colossus of Rhodes.
