The of the Music Club,
Friday night with Mr. and Mrs
O. E. Warren, at their home in
West Greenville, was one of ex
pleasure, the entertain-
by the host and hostess
being delightful. The home was
beautifully decorated with smilax
and lace ferns and red and white
carnations.
As the and guests
arrived were served with
hot punch by Misses Nellie Pen-
Linda Moore.
Both the president and
of the club being absent,
the usual business part of the
was passed over, except

evening was as

a picture, was presented to Prof.

Refreshments were served,
consisting of cake, cream and
mints, the cream being in harp
shapes, and on each plate was a
red carnation.
The entire evening was one of

Richard W. Vaughn, the Original Bank-
note Forger
In 1757 a merchant in London
by the name of Bliss advertised for
and selected from the
cants W. Vaughn, who,
a time, succeeded in winning
the confidence of his employer to
such an extent that the clerk was
taken to the merchant's home and
made a welcome visitor. Mr. Bliss
had a young sister, with whom Mr.
Vaughn immediately fell in love,
and as his application for the
of brother-in-law was of much
more consequence than his former
one for clerkship his past record
was carefully searched, and it was
found that he had met with a dis-
failure in business some
previous consequently
was a bankrupt, with many
and unpaid debts. He was told
that he could never be accepted as
a suitor for the young lady's hand
until everything he owed had been
paid in full. He seemed
aged at this decision and expressed
the opinion that the task was
possible, hut in a short time he re-
turned to his ladylove's family with
the happy intelligence that he had
fallen heir to a large property and
could more than liquidate all his
debts. He showed a number of
banknotes in proof of his assertion
and actually gave Miss Bliss five
new twenty pound notes.
About this time the authorities
at the Bunk of England were much
troubled by the appearance of a
few forged notes. With little
detectives traced them to
Richard Vaughn. He admitted his
guilt. It was attempted at his trial
to prove ho had not meant to pet
them in circulation, but only to win

Ten Kinds, Natural and Thermal, That
Scientists.
There is a kind of electricity that
puzzles scientists, which may he
termed natural electricity, but it
has nothing to do with either light-
or the well known cat's fur
variety. One set of observations
was made on the human eye with
its optic nerve and the following
results
It was found that when one end
of a wire was placed on the front
part of the eye and the other end
on the optic nerve a current of
electricity passed from one to the
other; also that the size of this cur-
rent varied with the amount of
light that entered the eye and fell,
on the retina. Notice that this is
a current of electricity, and not the
static kind, as is hat of the light-
and the rubbed fur. This
same result was obtained when
end was on a freshly cut end
of any nerve and the other end on
the outside of the nerve.
Facts like these have caused
many scientists to regard the body
as a complicated producer of
the nerves, like the
ed wires to and from our galvanic
batteries, serving to conduct the
electricity to and from the great
central nervous the brain.
Several years Dr. Siemens,
in a lecture given before the
society, tried to imitate eye in
this Crystalline
is u better conductor of
under the influence of light
titan it is in the dark. Its
likewise varies for the differ
cut kinds of blue, green,
etc. In artificial eye,
therefore, the retina was represent-
ed by a thin plate of selenium, and
the source of electricity was an or-
battery.
opening the eyelids of this
artificial eye and admitting light
from a white Illuminated screen a
strong deflection of the
needle was observed. A black
screen gave hardly any deflection,
n blue one a greater and u red a
much greater, but still short of that
produced the reflected white
light. The was thus
to light color, and an
scientist would not scruple to
look upon galvanometer as a
kind of brain, the wires and battery
as the nerves and body of an
organism entirely under his
control.
While it is seen that all living
can come under this head
as actual producers of electricity,
there are two animals that can pro-
duce enough electricity at will to do
considerable torpedo
and the electric eel.
One other kind of electricity that
is s riddle so far is that which is
produced directly from heat and
called thermal electricity. If any
two dissimilar metals are joined at
both ends and one junction heated,
a current will pass. If the same
junction is cooled, a current will
pass in the opposite direction. One
of the greatest problems of modern
physics is to get a practical way to
accomplish this great quantities
so it may be applied to engineering.

to the Christian world. They
do not know the real importance
of observing Christmas. AH
they know is that they always
look forward to Christmas as a
day of enjoyment. They do not
know that the word Christmas
has a meaning more
to the Christian world than any
other word that has ever been
spoken by human tongue.
The origin of Christmas we do
not know exactly, but we do
know that it celebrates the birth
of Christ. It is not known with
certainty when the festival, or
what we call Christmas, was
first observed. Clement of
Alexandria of it in the
beginning of the third century;
and again in the fourth century
it was spoken of by Chrysostom
as an event of great antiquity.
The church in the
fourth century fixed the twenty
fifth of December as the date
for this festival though at that
time no certain knowledge of
the date of the birth of Christ
existed. Many believe that the
heathen festivals, celebrated on
that day, weighed heavily in
accepting this date. Some
churches, and especially the
Western church in the fourth
century, believed that the right
date was the sixth of January.
That it could not have been on
the 25th of December for at that
time the rainy Judea
begin and the shepherds could
not have been watching their

of the birth of Christ is not
known, all now celebrate
