SUBSCRIPTION DANCE.

The evening of st. Valentines Day,
Saturday, February IA, 1919, was
made the occasion of a subscription
dance, given as surprise to John B.
Murphy at his residence, corner of
Pelican and Pacific Avenues, by a
large number of his friends.
According to a plan arranged be-
forehand, the crowd met at the resi-
dence of Miss Camille Nelson, 81
Alix Street, and proceeded to the Muir
ply place, where Mr. Murphy was
showing a party of friends over his
new drug store, which he intends to
open shortly. When the merrymakers
arrived business was temporarily laid
aside, and Mr., Murphy quickly
adapted himself to the unexpected but
highly agreeable role of host to the
pretty young girls and pleasing young
fellows who had descended upon him
in such a novel fashion.
Knowing that dancing would be in
order, the surprises brought with
them the orchestral band from the
Naval Station, which furnished
sprightly tunes for the Terpsichorean
enjoyment of the bellies and beaux
until the we sma' hours. OF course
there were good things to eat and
drink between dances. All present en-.
joyed themselves immensely, but none
better than the host.
Noted in the party were Miss Ca
mile Nelson, who got up the party; the

Mexico Had Printing Press in 1897.

Mexico had printing press about a
hundred years earlier than the Unit
ed States, or, to be exact, in 1887. The
first works printed upon it were nat
uraly by authors born In Spain who
had come to America. The claim that
the first book by a native-bOrn Ameri-
can was written by a Mexican, and
struck from this press, has stood I'M
disputed for many years. Recently a
writer of Santo Domingo has been
brought forward as the first American
author. An article in recent num-
Der of the new monthly magazine, In
ter-America, presents a well docu-
mented discussion of the relative
claims. in which the author concludes
that the honor still remains with
Mexico.
The first book, In his finding, by a
native American author was printed
by Juan de Leon, In Sevilla, in the
year 1894. There exist copies of this
priceless edition in the collection Of
the Hispanic Society of America, in
New York, In that Of the Duke de
TSerclaes in Sevilla.

When Alchemy FIourished.

The cult of alchemy was at its zenith
during the fourteenth, fifteenth, and
sixteenth centuries, holding the place
with many that religion did with 9TH
ers. People believed implicitly in the
existence Of the philosophers stone,
and pinned their faith to its potency
to an incredible extent. 1t was, Of
course, in the great majority of cases,
simply a matter of suggestion accept
ed by those who were on the outlook
for the means Of increasing wealth.
And there were many who drew no
distinction between the philosophers
stone. which was supposed to have
the power Of transmitting the base into
the noble metals, and what was called
the elixir Of life, a substance which
would promote and preserve health
and increase longevity. Thus the ap-
peal was also made to credulity
through the desire for health and the
fear of disease.

PARKING COMk|SS|OI

We regret very much to say that
many of these newly-planted trees
have already been broken off through
malicious mischief of some of our
young boys. who have not been given
proper training at home.
Unless the citizens of our town take
an interest in these trees, the efforts
and energy of the Parking Commits
sion will be of no value, and the thou
sands of dollars spent in the attempt
to beautify our town will have gone
to waste.
Many of these trees were deliberate
ly broken off. halfway from. the
ground, and in many instances the
tops were broken off. There were sew
eral cases where the trees were pulled
out by the roots and thrown into the
streets.
In order that we may help the Park
ing Commission, each resident must
act as policeman in the protection
of these trees. The only way to stop
this destruction is TO have several of
these young hoodlums arrested, to be
made an example of for the balance
of the boys who are also guilty of
these acts. We appeal to our school
teachers to have a lecture to the boys
on this subject occasionally. We are,
however, inclined to believe that this
behavior is by boys who are not at
tending school. The police have been
notified to positively arrest any boys
caught destroying these trees and on
conviction they will have to pay the
penalty of either a fine or sentence
of few months in the House of Cor
rection. To you, Mr.. Resident, if you
see boy attempting the destruction
of these trees hold him for the police,
and the entire citizenship of Algiers
will thank you for the interest you
have taken in our town.

Famous Old EnuIish Castle.

Warwick castle is said to have been
built by the Saxons before the first
William landed on Albion's shores. One
of its old towers has seen a thousand
summers come and go, while the other
portions of the structure belong to the
fifteenth and the sixteenth centuries.
1t is one of the most romantic and
picturesque edifices in England and is
associated with the memory of the
great "kingmaker" of the wars of the
roses, Count Guy and other heroes who
have changed in heavy armor through
the spacious rooms and in the banquet
hall drank the health of the beauteous
ladies of their line.

Measuring the Height Of Clouds.

A scientist attached to one Of the
bureaus at Washington has been en-
gagged in measuring the height Of
clouds by photography. Simultane-
Gus pictures of a cloud were made by
two cameras placed 600 feet apart and
connected by telegraph wires. From
the amount Of displacement Of the
cloud caused by viewing 1t alternately
from each end of the 600foOt base line
its height could be calculated. Some
of the "mackerel sky" clouds photo
graphed were seven and quarter
miles high. The Hottest clouds whose
elevation was thus measured belonged
to the type known as cirrus, or 'curl
cloud" the height Of which was a lit.
tie more than seventeen miles.
