fluent and perfect English, with a slight

his youth. He is, as he processes, an
amateur electrician, and exceedingly mod

comparison with some OF the no doubt
well-meaning chroniclers who have even
unduly belauded them. He has been about
four years at work on the particular sub.
ject OF wireless telegraphy. carrying
out many experiments on his family es-

Gro mthe Ladies' Home JournaL)
The effec of the MCGEE brothers
preaching-especially of John MCGEE at
a Presbyterian quarterly meeting on the
banks OF Red river, in Kentucky. was so
startlinf, and seemed 50 clearly to indi-
cate that 1t was the result Of divine agen
CIV or some mysterious force possessed
by the preacher. that the news OF the
occurrence spread rapidly In all directions
throughout that part OF the state, and at
tracted unhounded interest. If IL did not
at once awaken a responsive religious
feeling, It at least excited curiosity, and
when It was learnd that the MCGEE broth
ers were to hold a meeting at Russell
willie, Kentucky, a newly settled town in
Logan county, near the Muddy river, per-
sons from all parts of the adjoining coun-
try, irrespective Of their religious beliefs
or church allegiance, prepared to attend.
1t soon became evident that the four
walls of q country Westinghouse would
not suffice to hold the large numbers
that were making ready to so to Russell
vile. The problem thus presented was
solved by determining to hold the meet
ing in the open air. Those coming from
a distance were prepared to camp; 1t
would be no hardship to them to remain
out-of-doors. The recent experience at
Red river had proved this. II was not
expected by those who were coming that
the lodging accommodations at the vii
lage Of Russellville would be sufficient by
any means. Why, therefore, attempt to
house the people? Prepare a camping
ground, and let the meeting be "camp-
meeting" This, then. was the origin Of
camp-meetings; and the first one held in
America was on the banks Of the Muddy
river. near RusselviIle. Kentucky. in the
month Of August. 1799-one hundred years
ago. Not that religious worship had new
er before been held in the open air, but
the special feature of camping out and
the nature OF the services made the camp
meeting distinctive institution and char
acterized this particular gathering on
Muddy river as the first Of its kind
