Little more than q day remains before
Washington will be hidden to gather Al
the foot of the big Christmas tree in
the east plaza of the Capitol, to make
merry as a city and to bow reverently
t. all that that tree will represent.
Those who have worked hard week
after week to prepare this Christmas
Eve demonstration of the twentieth CEN
tury Christmas spirit reported all S
well'' last night, and little remains now
TO be done.
The last of the Community Christmas
committees tasks will be started this
morning when the committeeman, with a
number of husky men, whose business u
is to handle trees, will meet at the
Capitol grounds to raise the large Nor
way spruce that is to be the pivot for
the Capitals general Christmas Celebra-
tiOn.
The final appeal for help toward the
accomplishment of WashingtOn's celebra-
ton was sent out last night by George
w White, chairman of the finance COM
mittee The contributions have come in
readily, more readily in fact, than the
members of Mr.. Whites committee had
lared to hope for at the start. However.
The Community Christmas has been no
small undertaking and with the prepara-
lions for the musical program and the Sc
-ies of Illustrative tableauX that go with
The hymns the fund is still short of the
sum required.
The tree-raising force will be on the
Capitol grounds this morning at 9:3O
o'clock with the necessary paraphernalia.
II is planned to raise the tree on a plat
form that will stand six feet or more
high so that the magnificent illumina-
ton may be seen from as great dis
tance as possible.
The wiring of the tree will be done be-
fore the spruce itself is raised into place,
and this is one of the phases of the work
that has held the attention of the COM
mittee for several days. The members
have calleL into consultation a number of
electrical experts to devise the best means
for placing the thousands of electric bulbs
in Iei- place, and last night all the COM
mittees stood ready with their plans fully
formed.
1t was decided yesterday that the fol-

Out from the city's noise and din
To a street supremely still,
Somehow we drifted on Christmas Eve.
With a happy YuIetide thrill
Our hearts, our minds, with love repiete'
Found JOY and comfort, too.
In all the scenes around,
To each some old-sOme new.
But hark! in the gentle stiffness.
What seems like an angels call,
'Tis but the chimes Of Christmas Eve
Pealing forth good will to all.
In rapture fond We listened.
Hearts stirred at the bells sweet roll;
] caught their gentle anthem:
Jesus, lover of my soul.
Ny voice in soft accord began
Let me to thy bosom fly"
Yet sweeter, sweeter rang the bells;
while the tempest still is high.
Then in the shadow Of the church
We paused. now the chimes pealed fast:
Hide me, oh, my Saviour. hide,
Till the storm of life IS past.
Then. in a softer. milder tone.
Which seemed TO ring that fear was past,
Safe into thy haven guide,
oh. receive my soul at last.
On through the streets VIC wandered,
With ASSURANCE grand and true,
Taught by the chimes Of Christmas Eve
There is rest for me, for You.
Beyond earth's storm and battle,
When the time of life is past,
May the Master ring the heavenly chimes
And receive your soul at last.

That Tiverton Meteor.

It would be an interesting circsam-
stance had Tiverton come in POSSES
sion of a meteoric fragment weighing
some hundred pounds. There are
number of witnesses to the fall, IN the
tropical storm last week. of something
to the startled vision very ike an ee-
rolite But perhaps 1t was only an ah-
commonly fearsome bolt OF lightning.
According to one account. huse paii
of white and red fire" came tearing
down from the angry skies and plump
ed into the river, with kissing ana
clouds of boiling spray. A lawyer, IL
not meteorologist, however, would
REQUIRE mere evidence than is yet
forthcoming before agreeing that the
chunk captured by a beam traWier
and brought out of the water is lden-
tical with the thing that fell in. IN
less the former is beyond doubt OF me-
taoric origin there is manifest need or
testimony to connect the two oo-
jects.
TO see a fireball fall Is no common
experience. To find one is more rare
Such is the force OF the fall that IL
usually buries itself in the gronho.
Tiyerton's fame would be assured II
On top Of witnessing such a spectacle
the hall could be shown to prove IL.
One weighing 50 much as TINS hno
would be splendid prize. There nave
been many mythical tales about the
arrival on earth of these little va
grants of the solar system. T1verton
may be congratulated. at least on pro-
viding readable story to relieve us
from the tedium of the tariff ana
Thaw.
A Saxon chronicle of the eleventh
century tells of a shower of the me-
teoritcs $50 thick that no man could
count them; one of which struck the
ground. and when a bystander cast
water upon it steam was raised with
great noise of boiling" That bystand-
er had his nerves we'll under control.
Tearing through the air they will be
heated to several thousand degrees
Fahrenheit, an unimaginable tempera-
ture. They are usually nothing but
stones. A few are pure iron. or mixed
with nickel. Some astronomers believe
thep1 to be fragments of the nebula
from which the sun and planets, in
Guiding our earth, were thrown off.
They range thickly through the in
terplanetary spaces at a speed fifteen
hundred times that of an express train.
Professor Percival Lowell tells US
that, could we rise a hundred miles
above the earths surface. we should
be highly sorry we came; for we
should incontinently be killed by fly
ing bricknats" The wonder is per-
haps. that our roofs are not OCCASION
