Edison md PInfinnm.

A story will serve to throw light up
on Edison's character. At one time
there was n great fear in the scientific
world that the deposits OF platinum
were about to become extinct. Edison
thereupon organized n correspondence
bureau and sent letters to every Amer
lean consul upon the globe, to British
cOnsuls in ports where the United
States had no representative and to
scientific men in every land. The let
ter gave n clear statement respecting
the metal. how and where it was found
and might be found, how it could be
identified anditreated and much other
information.
In each letterlwere inclosed samples
of platinum as found in the various
rock beds. This may seem to be n
small undertakinG,N but when it is re-
membered that the\ METERS were sent
off by the thousands, that the postage
was 10 cents to eachN letter and that
the pieces of platinum inclosed were
almost as valuable as metallic gold, the
cost of the achievement is readily seen.
While he did not succeed i'm greatly in
creasing the output OF platinum, he set
at rest all fear of its extinction and
thus earned the gratitude of every
scientific observation-disclosures Leslie's
Magazine.

Christmas Day.

.'Christmas is prominently church
festival" writes Mrs. Lyman Abbott in
Ladies' Home Journal. "The Puritans,
seeing only the superstitiops and dis
orderliness with W hIch Christmas had be-
come encum bered, strove with all their
ardor to destroy it, but happily did not
succeed.
1.-THE argument sometimes used against
1t, that the birthday of the Child Jesus is
not known, and therefore cannot be OBJ
served, does not prevail against the un-
iverssl longing to celebrate in some way
this great event. So we are not surprised
to learn that in the first centuries OF the
Christian era, Christians, though gen.
orally celebrating the Nativity, were not
unanimous in the time chosen for the
festival. At least part OF the early
church observed the sixth of January, not
only to commemorate the Epiphany, or
the manifestation of Christ to the Gem
tiles, but also the birth OF Jesus, and 1t was
not until the end OF the fourth century,
perhaps not until the beginning OF the
fifth, that the present date, December %,
was generally accepted.
"The christmas season. Is sometimes
used to designate the time between De-
cember 16 and February 1, more often the
fortnight between December "a and JAM
uary 6. During all this period there was
formerly, and still continues to be, q
spirit OF JOY and festivity which entities
1t to be called the holidays. The vigil
of the Nativity, or as we now call it
Christmas eve, was observed from I he first
with exceptional devotion, perhaps be-
cause the birth OF our Lord occurred In
the night. Unlike other vigils, it con-
tinued through the night, and made, with
Christmas itself, one great solemnity."
