COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS TREE
Bennington is a Pioneer
Vermont.


Although the Community Christ
mas tree idea is comparatively a new
one, it is nevertheless one of the
happiest ever conceived for the CIV
ing of universal joy during the
Christmas season. The very first
tree of this kind was placed in Madi-
son Square in New York city by some
unknown person only two years ago.
Thousands upon thousands, rich and
poor alike, thronged to see the spec
tacle and were uplifted and made
happy by it. In fact it was such a
success that all the large cities,
Chicago, Philadelphia. Washington,
Madison and Owaha took up the idea
last year with equal success.
Bennington has the unique honor
OF being the first country town 10
make this sort of a celebration prac
tical. In this field, too, we have been
a pioneer in this state of Vermont.
AS result of our precedent of last
year, Burlington, Rutland, St Johns.
bury, Bristol and St Adams are to
have community Christmas trees this
year.
Now, il behooves Bennington TO
maintain the reputation. She has
started by making the celebration
this year truly community affair,
given by the people for the people
The only way that this may be ac-
complished is for every individual in
the community to support it, to be
present at the exercises and help
with the singing.

that have been received in North

secured in two instances and the re
naming FIVE. which were all appeals,

The Eartt s Surface.

The surface OF the earth can be
compared to the top of barrel of
asphalt, hard and rigid through and
through, scanned and cracked on the
surface by the { ements. For ten
miles IN "a straight line below the
surface the earth is probably dry
and hard, of rock substance. The
pressure of this substance upon the
heated center of the earth keeps it
from getting hotter than it is, just
as you can keep water from boiling
by an appropriately sufficient pres
sure. The fact that there Is steam
in volcanic eruptions is the leakage
of the interior pressure of heat In
the earth. The character of matter
in the center of the earth or It's i'm
mediate environment must be some
thing ike pumice stone-spongy,
porous, light-because when the
earth's interior matter is melted in
the high temperatures that arc
there it dissolves, and there is CON-
siderable water in it that escapes
through volcanic craters in steam.

versity. -
