THE TRI-ARTs SOCIETY

The Tri-Arts society met last Sun
day in the Guild room of st. Philips
church. First, on the short, but de
lightful program was Miss Edna Mae
James who very beautifully sang
"The World Is Waiting for the Sun
rise" AS an encore, she sang cat
Dawning." The feature Of the pro-
gram was a delightful and very in
teresting talk by Mrs. r. P. Maham-
mitt on her travels abroad. During
her most interesting talk Mrs. Ma
hammitt told of her visit to the Al
hambra in Granada, where she ex-
piored the beautiful and interesting
palace of the Moorish prince, While
in Spain, she also visited in Seville,
where she witnessed a bullfight.
While in Rome, she visited St.
Peters cathedral, where she saw St.
Peters tomb. Upon leaving Rome,
she went TO Venice where she ex-
perienced the thrill of riding in a
gondola and of feeding the famous
pigeons of St. Marks Square. Upon
leaving Italy, she went to Lucerne,
Switzerland, where she saw the most
picturesque and beautiful lake in the
world, Lake Lucerne. After spend
ing delightful time in Switzerland,
she travelled to Paris, where she made
quite lengthy stay, visiting the
Louvre, Notre Dame, Arch de Tri-
omphe, and other places of historical
note. She then went to London and
visited Westminster Abbey and the
Parliament building on the River
Thames. She also saw Buckingham
Palace, home Of the king and queen
of England, and st. James Palace,
the home of the Prince of Wales.
From London she sailed back to New
York and home.
Mrs. Mahammitt's talk was so real
istic, that it made those who were
fortunate enough to be among her
audience feel as though they had
made the trip that she had talked
about.

Many Accorded Fame
They Had Not Earned

The popular belief that Watt was
led to invent the steam eI CINE by OBJ
serving the effect of steam on the ket-
tie lid was described as a myth by
Prof e. N. de c. Andrade in q lee
ture to children on Engines" at the
Royal institution. London.
Actually, he said, Watt, as an in
strument maker, was asked to repair
the model of a Newcomer engine, and
by his examination of this he was led
to design q more efficient and eco
nomic steam engine, in which steam,
having been expanded to low pres
sure in other parts of the engine, did
work by virtue of the partial vacuum
created by a condenser. 1t was that
principle which was applied In every
economical reciprocating or turbine
engine of today.

been called il question. and the claims
Of inventors and scientists dispelled by
the explosion of similar popular myths

Indian Names

Indian place-names. IL is pointed out.
may refer TO physical characteristics
of the place. to incidents In the his
tory of the time. or to associations of
a tribe with region. Examples may
be seen In Saskatchewan river fswift
iowing). Battle river (place of numer-
Gus battles) and Ottawa river (river
frequented by the OTTAWA tribe).
Another point is that Indian tribes
generally had two names-the name
they gave themselves and the name
given them by their enemies-and in
many cases the names which have
been used By the white man have
been 'enemy" names. This accounts
for the very une0mplimentary names
which some Indian tribes bear.
