Dear SIR
I beg to acknow-
ledge the receipt of your favor Of
the 31st ultimo and TO thank you
for the same. In reply will say
that the temperature of the plant
or other object upon which frost
forms is necessarily, as low IS
% degrees; but the temperature
a few feet above the object may
be several degrees higher, de-
pending upon the amount of
moisture, rate Of radiation and
other conditions. These condi-
tons vary so much that it is i'm
possible to locate a definite tenn
perature as the highest at which
frost may form, the elevation of
the thermometer above the sur
face having much to do with it.
However, heavy frost formation
has been observed when the reg
istration OF thermometers under
average exposure conditions was
near 40 degrees.
With reference to your being
absent for a week, the fact that
YOU have been so faithful and aC-
curate in the performance of the
duties of your position is mat
if much pleasure to me. and Lam
glad to signify my willingness
for YOU to be absent from the

A Beautiful Work OF Art.

ing that met our eyes as we step
ped into the vestibule of the
Christian Science church on N.
Main street. We had heard so
much of the beautiful interior Of
the church since it passed
through the hands and brush Of
the decorator, J. Guy Swafford,
who came here from St. Louis,
that we determined to see for
ourselves and accordingly made
pilgrimage to that spot on
Tuesday afternoon.
We passed on through the In
ner door and directly opposite us
over the center window the words
God is Love" stood out in bold
relief. On the right-"Divine
love always has met and always
will meet every human need"
To the left-"Now is come
salvation, and strength, and the
kingdom of our God, and the
power of his Christ" and beside
the door the following, I'm the
way of righteousness is life, and
in the pathway thereof there is
no DEATH" These soul-insplr-
ing notices are painted on the
walls in beautiful shades which
harmonic with the walls which
are tinted in shades from cream
white to old gold-each panel
having the appearance of the
first daybreak or light OF dawn
with the sun just dispelling the
shadows.
The pews are in the beautiful
Georgia curly pine, the varnish
bringing out the natural grain OF
the wood. The door represents
a quarter-sawed oak. Mr.. Swat
ford certainly has transformed
the little church into an uplifting
restfu1 spot.
HOME OF THE ARTIST.
Learning that the artist lived
next door to the church we
sought admission to see what
manner of man he is but did not
find him at home but his good
wife was, who, upon learning
our quest, kindly escorted us
through the rooms all of which
were decorated TO suit his fancy
and which we will not attempt to
describe. One we remember
whose walls were in dull shade
of red with a wreath of oak leaves
so beautifully painted all around
the walls that we thought they
we're natural. The tints and
form are equal to nature. Auo-
Their was done in green and gold
and on an easel sat an unfinished
portrait. The kitchen struck
our fancy because on the walls
the constantly floating clouds
were feecy and light. All around
were specimens of the artists
workphotos in oil etc.
Across the street we espied
ur old time friend, Mrs. G. W.
Hayes, and were invited in. to
help pick and eat oranges from
her own tree-the oranges were
served on hand-painted china
plates and as we glanced around
the different rooms thought of
Aladdin's lamp. Odd-looking
wall panels, doors etc, greeted
us on every hand, the whole
transformed by the same artistic
brush we had found across the
way. We could not describe it
if we had space, but are proud to
tell our readers of such spots
especially those who hug the
delusion that we are living in log
huts away back in the woods.
