above the normal. The highest tenn
Perature occurred on the 22nd when

most expensive one he could find, and

diately named it Josephus, and at
first her Joy in it was beautiful to

SERMON BEGINS
DIAMOND JUBILEE

Tomorrow will mark the 18th ami
versary of the organization of the
First Baptist church and, as a fitting
preliminary, the pastor, DR.. H. w.
Reed, yesterday morning delivered an
anniversary sermon. He divided his
/ theme into three parts: The message
from the past, the message of the pres
ent and the pasts message to the flu
/ ture- The church was organized with
just seven members which, while the
number was small, showed a great
trust in the God whom they wOr-
SHIPPED. Effort, determination and sac
Tifice were needed to carry on the
work, and with these success was
achieved. The present membership OF
| the church is about $50, which is so
times the strength of the church when
/ it was organized 1t has grown not
( only in strength, however, but in eff
cheney as well, and is today one of the
most influential churches IN the city.
| The past's message to the future is
/ one OF hopefulness and confidence,
with victory as the vision ever before
| the faithful members.
! The anniversary proper of the or
ganization will be held tomorrow even
I ing, when the ladies of the church will
serve supper 10 members of the con-
! gregation at 6 o'clock. A program will
follow, beginning at s o'clock, when a
history of the church organization will
be given by ]. w. Welch, letters will
be read from former pastors and an
informal program of addresses will be
given by local ministers and members
of the congregation.

From inquiries made by the police
il appears that Miss Cravens received
a letter from America on Friday, the
contents of which seemed to affect her
greatly.
Miss Cravens was a member of a
we'll known Indiana family and was
believed TO have considerable private
means. She came to Paris five or six
years ago TO study music and was
we'll known in Latin quarter circles.
Miss Crs-ens had invited several
friends to tea at her apartment this

South Polar Continent.
The antarctic continent has been es-
tiInated TO be at least twice as large
as Europe. The evidence of paleOm-
tolOgy is 10 the effect that Antarctica
was once connected with the more
northern lands. ut least with South
America. and that in prehistoric ages
earths crust resulted in the sinking Of
the submarine" floor. until in some
places it is now 1000 fathoms. or
more than four miles below the sur

All around the great land mass of
bed cutting it off from every other
land OF the earth and setting it apart
as a region more unlike the rest of
the globe than any other continent or
island
Explorations have proved that in
times before the advent of man upon
the earth this most southern land had
a temperate or even a warmer eli
mate There are fossils, both animal
and vegetable, which indicate this.
The formation of the rocks in Antarc-
tica also is of volcanic origin and vol
