PRRaoNAL Ann oTHRRH1sK,

The Conference room was crowded this
morning, many having to stand. Mrs. L.
A. Hsgans and Miss N. N. Hallowell ar
rived yesterday as a committee to secure
the services Of Mrs. Whittenmyer and
Mrs. Blng In your churches. Other rep
reaentatives are expected from your city
to arrive to-day and to morrow.
It was felt In our first two sessions that
something was lacking, and on yesterday
i was explained when the genial Elder
Rev. E. ]. Stone, from your city, made his
appearance IN our midst. k Conference
without Elder Stone would hardly be sat.
iStactory, and all were glad to welcome
him. II the good Elder would only con-
sent We think he could be admitted to the
regular itnerancy. DR.. T, n. Eddy left

BISHOP SCOTT.
The presiding officer Of this Conference
Is Rev. Bishop Levi Scott. D. D., now the
Oldest effective Bishop in the N. E.
Church. He Is 10 native Of Delaware, and
was born In 1902. He entered the minis.
try in 1926, was on circuits three years, In
stations ten, Presiding Elder five, and
Principal Of the Grammar School of
Dickinson College three years. In 1e4S
he was elected one Of the book agents at
New York, and served the Church in that
capacity with eminent success. In 1853
he was elected Bhhop at the Boston Gen.
eral Conference, having received the
largest vote Of any chosen at that time.
For thirty.two years he has served the
Church in that sacred Office with uniyer.
sal acceptabtlity. In 1855 he visited the
Mission Conference in Africa, where his
health was seriously affected. Though
he Is 70 years Of age, he is able 10 dis
charge all his responsible duties with
efficiency, and we trust that years Of use
tul labor may be added to his lie. "He
% an earnest, clear.headed man, bearing
honor with meekness and responsibility
with dif1dence, and yet with Christian
frmness." -.,,g, -.
His address tothe class Of Deacons this
morning was model Of its kind. It was
an earnest and afectionate appeal 10 the
hearts and consciences Of the young men
composing the class that could not fail to
produce q deep impression upon their
minds and lives. The whole Conference
was edited by the address, and freshly in.
spired to work for God and humanity.
Bishop Scott 10 not only Christian
minister, but Is truly eloquent In the best
sense Of that word.

to Itself, and according 10 its color
has various degrees Of refrapgibIlity.
This Is intallibIy indicated by Its

method of ascertainiDg the nature Of the
luminous matter. Some very highly mag.

projected on the screen, the power en-
Ployed in some instances being asgreat as
one million diameters, or one trlllion times
the size ofits original. An extremely in.
terestlng experiment was the electrolysis
OF water, or lis decomposition by elec.
trlcity into its component gaseous Gle.
