Franklin's Pennsylvania Fireplace

Albert A. Cary delivered an address
recently before the American Society
Of Heating and Ventilating Engineers
at Philadelphia on the work of Ben.
1amin Franklin as q heating engineer.
the hrst man In America to design
. stove intended to save our supply
OF wood which In those days had to
be brought in many cases zone hun.
dred miles to town." As the economi-
cal Franklin observed. Mr.. Cary
points out that the Franklin stove
was not the mere iron fireplace that
has masqueraded under his name. but
It was an apparatus that took cold air
from outside the house and after
warming It In passages kept hot by
the escaping gases OF the nre. finally
discharged It into the room. Mr. Cary
believes that II this old original
Franklin fireplace had been enlarged
and slightly altered and placed in the
cellars Of our houses. 1t certainly
would have become a prototype of all
our hot-air furnaces.
The papers concerning Franklin's
experiments and achievements will be
printed by the society In order that
all he had to say on this important
subject may be preserved. together

There are three very eminent cnt
ors on tour this season in Shake
spoare's great tragedy, "Ric4ard the
Third" They are John Griffith, Rich
ard Mansfield and Robert Mantell
They vary some in their individual
interpretations, but the version that
Mr. Griffith uses is that OF Colley
Cibber. which is by all odds the most
satisfying representation. He fairly
revels in this character, playing II
with the greatest animation and eff
feet, fairly compelling his audiences
to bursts Of enthusiasm. Mr.. Griffith's

THE oRAToRlcAL CONTEST.
Voted Most Remarkable Success.
House Was Crowded.

House Was Crowded.
Perhaps no school affair ever offer
ed to the Ardmore public a more ac-
ceptable entertainment than was Civ
en- by the High school boys and girls
In the Oratorical contest at the Meth
odist church Thursday evening. Long
before the hour of beginning every
seat had been taken and by the time
the program started Ardmore had
shown how much her interest in
school work was centered, by crowd
ed aisles and scores turned away from
the doors because OF no room.
After a few words Of mtroductlor
by Superintendent Evaas the pro-
gram was turned over to Prof Con.
way of the high school.
Rev. Watson invoked divine bless.
ings. in a touching way linking ma
tional and religious hopes and BILE IS
ings.
The first speaker Of the eve 1ing
Miss Kate Gait, was introduced Iiof
theme, "A Successor TO Washingt7n ,
in Deed and in Truth" From start
to finish she kept her audience in
breathless suspense and admiration
and when she took her seat the whirl-
wind of applause attested that she was
in the race for honors.
Mr. Roy West of the ninth grade
came next in Some National Hopes"
While in the first grade of the high
school course, young West showed
snap and fire that betokened a bril-
liant future.
Perhaps the calmest, most self-cen-
tered, and easiest speech of the even
ing came in the third speaker, Mr..
Gene Cruce. He told of Washing
tons Farewell Address" in clear-cut
periods and earnest speech that won
the hearts OF all the audience and
there were devotees for Cruce for
first place all ever the house when he
finished.
The fourth speaker was Miss VIII
lie Floyd. She caught the peoples ear
with the theme OF local pride. "The
Star that is to Be-" In a most strik-
ing and graceful way she pointed out
the virtues of this new state that is
soon to grace the flag. For a thing
Of finish and grace it was a matchless
effort.
The conclusion was given to Miss
Jamesina johnson in the theme, "Sol'
diers OF Peace" Never did a girl OF
a high school receive closer attention.
Gracemeaning power shot forth
from every word she said and storm
Of applause met her at the close.
The Judges, Superintendents Down.
ing of Rolf, Beck of Tishomingo, and
French Of Wynnewood, came forward
and soon reported ready.
Filing upon the stage Mr.. Beck ad-
dressed the audience as to the strong
virtues each disclosed. But a decision
must be made and they were foc,eG
to give the first medal to Miss john
son and the second to Miss Gait. TIE
audience Showed they were with them
by clopping approval.
The music rend ared by the high
school and other grades was signal
feature of the evening. From wha'
was said in conclusion, the people d
