built the church. This window has
passion flowers in the center with q
star at the top, and at the bottom ia
this appropriate inscription, 'Come all
We that labor In the main part of the
hall is one more memorial window with
the name Cummings, this being given
by Mrs. j. r. Emerton of Auburn and
Mrs. Fred Scott of Benton in memory
of their parents. Between the stairway
and the alcove is another arched en-
trance finished like the alcove and
leading to the parlor. This parlor
opens by sliding doors into the main
room making the entire seating capacity
about ESQ. The pews in the audience
room will seat 100, and $50 chairs pur-
chased for the hall below can be utilized
whenever necessary.
The interior of the church is hand
somely finished in weathered oak with
pews and pulpit furniture to match, and
in the parlor the mission style furniture
is also of the same wood. The floors,
both above and below, are of "a inch
matched oak boards finely polished.
The pulpit platform Is carpeted with
Brussels in green with runs of the same
in the aisles and around the sides, and
large art-square of blending colors covers
the center of the parlor floor. The
walls are harmoniously tinted with a
shading of green and the ceiling finished
in cream color. The chandeliers were
from the Best Light Company of Canton,
Ohio, and are something new in this
locality. The fuel used is gasoline
which is fed from a small metal reser-
voir furnished with each lamp. The
burned is gasoline gas, result
ing in a powerful white light, quite
similar to electricity.
The large stained glass window next
the street is made up of four different
sections, the principal coloring being in
rich shades of gold and brown. The
center was given by L. NJ. Mann, Mrs.
Emma w. Mann and Edwin j. Mann, in
memory of the immediate members of
their family. In the center is a cross
and lilies.
The memorial windows each side are
made to harmonize, the one on the right
being given by z. w. Penley with the
word Penley, the one at the left by Mrs.
l.. C. Bates, being for her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Phineas B. Warner. Over
these three sections is large arched
with the inscription, "Peace on
earth, good will toward men," This
was given by the personal subscription

Chase.Walker.

A very pretty church wedding wa
solemnized at the Congregational church
in South Paris Wednesday evening, tn,
contracting parties being Nathan A
Chase, now of Ilion, N. Y, son of Mr.
and Mrs. G. +. Chase of South Paris
and Miss Mertie G.. Walker, second
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Walker
of South Paris.
The church had been very prettily
decorated with green and daisies by
members of the Seneca Club. About
four hundred invitations had been
issued, and the church was packed long
before the hour of the ceremony, so that
it was necessary to spend some time
clearing a passage for the bridal party.
The bridal party entered the church
to the strains of wedding march play
ed by Mrs. Cora S. Briggs at the organ,
accompanied by Carl S. Briggs on the
the four ushers, the groom and best
man, the four bridesmaids, the maid of
honor, then the bride on the arm of her
father, followed by the two little flower
girls.
The bridal couple stood under an arch
of evergreen and daisies, from which
were suspended three wedding bells of
daisies. The double ring service was
used, and with low music through the
ceremony it was very impressive and
pretty.
The bride was gowned in white crepe
de chine over white, and carried a
bouquet of bride roses and maiden
hair. The maid of honor was Miss Eva
K. Walker, sister of the bride. The
bridesmaids were Miss Alta c. Walker,
Miss Florence NJ. Jewett, Miss Sue NJ.
Wheeler, and Miss Laura Dean. The
maid of honor and Misses Wheeler and
Dean were in white, the other two
bridesmaids in pearl gray, carrying bou
quets of pinks. Little Misses Muriel
Bowker and Phyllis Taylor were flower
girls. A. Guy Bennett of Paris was best
man. The ushers were +. Wendell
Rounds, Walter c. Chase, Roy Fl. Por-
ter, and Roy Z. Strickland.
After the ceremony reception was
given at the BRIDES home to the rela-
tives, the members of the Seneca Club,
of which the bride is member, and a
few intimate friends. The dining room
was very prettily decorated in green and
white. Dainty refreshments were serv-
ed, and the merriment of wedding
feast prevailed.
The happy couple left on the 1915
train with the best attentions of their |
numerous friends. After a short trip
they will return to South Paris for few |
days before going to their home in lion,
Y. Y.
Gifts in great variety and of much |
value were received, including mary
beautiful things in china, cut glass, |
linen, paintings and money.
Mr.. Chase is graduate of the Uni
versity of Maine, and has an excellent |
position as chemist and metallurgist at
Ilion, n. Y. Mrs. Chase, since gradu-
ating from the high school, has been en-
ployed in teaching in the South Paris |
schools, and has been successful and
popular teacher. Both are highly |
esteemed by all who know them, and
carry with them the best wishes of
hosts of friends.

in the already hardened she'll that sur
rounds the inner mass. That shell
must give way at some point. Aside
from the contractions Of the earth's
surface, another cause is given that
might affect the changing of the sur
face of given part Of the world. This
cause Is the accumulation of vast
weight of sedimentary deposit brought
down by rivers. For example, the Mis-
sissippi River is entirely made up of
the deposits Of the streams washing
down from higher lands. The weight
of that deposit would be difficult to
calculate, and resting upon a portion
of the earth's shell, might occasion its
sinking. This theory is held by some
scientists in connection with the Cali
fornia disaster, for the Sacramento
River is the depositor of vast weights
of sediment in the Pacific waters near
San Francisco.

THE SURGERY OF THE AN.
GENTS.

What is known to modern dentists
as bridge work was familiar to the
Etruscans, as extant specimens attest
according to an interesting article in
the British Medical Journal. Plaster
ears, noses and lips were common
among the Indians, where the cutting
off of these features was punishment
much in use, and Greek and Roman
veterans who had lost leg or an arm
in war tried to make good the de-
ficiency by artificial substitutes. 1t is
stated further:
What is said to be the Oldest artifi-
cial leg in existence is now in the mu-
scum of the Royal College of Surgeons
of England. It was found in tomb
at Capua. Pliny speaks of a Roman
warrior who, century and half be-
fore the birth of Christ wore an arti-
manipulate a sword. In the Middle
Ages artificial limbs sometimes re-
paired the disablements of war. The
iron hand of Goetz Won Berlichingen
was an ingenious piece of mechanism
made for that famous knight in 1904.

are never caused by volcanoes, but by
faulting plains. This is particularly
true of both seaboards of the United
States. Mr.. Walcott and other scien-
lists of the Geological and Geodetic
Surveys agree that scientifically the
recent disturbances were caused by
conditions identical with those pertain
ing during the earthquake which de-
molished Charleston, s. c., on August
81, 1886. Volcanoes occasionally cause
shaking of the earth's crust. but the
disturbances occasioned by pent-up
gases seeking to escape are felt only
locally.
The cause generally attributed to
earthquakes is the gradual cooling Of
the earth, which is known to still be a
molten mass inside When any object
cools it contracts, and so will the earth
