day afternoon AT the usual hour. The
subject for discussion was, The 'Prin-
cipal Electrical and Steam Inventions

Tfons, incipiinE the hOCseless carriage.

pedo boat a1ssi others That Il was

pliances for hSating and cooking pur-
poses were not within the reach OF every
one. The music was much apDreciat-
ed. The first paper by Mrs. Reade on

confOundfng steam and vapor. That a
prominent scientist has said that steam
as a power VIII be used for all time,
shat IT VIII not be supplanted by cleo
tricity. TIE paper by the leader. Mrs.

beauty Of the working out the laws Of
nature. God created the Heaven and
the Earth in this We should delight n

tious faithful workers. She closed by
reading in an entertaining manner the
