not caring TO ask Unorns what had brought

THE BYRON ALBUM.

A Valuable Relic In the Possession Of =
Georgia Gentleman.
The album which was kept for many years
at Byron's burial place is now the property
of Mr.. George A. Oates, of Augusta. There
has been kept in the church, Lord Byron's
burying place. since July 16, 1924, an
album-the H1cknall Torkard album-a
little half bound book, much thumbed, in
which apostrophes to the dead poet were in
scribed by visitors to his resting place, in
instances only autographs being left says
the Atlanta Constitution. Many persons
would give thousands of dollars for this
album.
Mr.. Oates says it was procured by his
brother, Mr.. Henry T. Oates, now deceased;
he being during life, quite a collector of
autographs, from the parish clerk at Huck-
nall over 40 years ago. 1t is, all things con-
sidered, in an excellent state of preserva-
tion. Names and lines from the pens Of
hundreds of visitors to the shrine from all
parts OF the world grace the pages of the
album, the names of many noted Ameri-
cans, as we'll as Europeans, appearing upon
ii. The last inscription 10 the album is that
of j. j. Faulkner, of Oxford, and runs:
The Hucknall bells we're Just ringing . peal;
My friends were taking the cir grog:
can hardly express how indignant feel
That Lord Byron fares WORSE than his dog
Some day his remains will be honored trust,
And far nobler shrine be selected;
Time will soon render more precious bis dust,
And be like our hakespeare's-respeoted.

which will not do, if you ask it, o Unorns
asked very earnestly.
"I do not know" the Wanderer answered,
trying to seem to ignore the meaning con-
veyed by her tone. "Some things are harder
to do than others"
"Ask me the hardestl" she exclaimed.
"Ask me to tell YOU the whole truth"
NO" he said firmly. in the hope Of
checking an outbreak of passionate speech.
"What you have thought and done is NO
concern of mine. If you have done any
thing that you are sorry for, without my
knowledge, do not wish to know it. 1
have seen you do many good and kind acts
during the past month, and 1 would rather
leave these memories untouched as far as
possible. You may have had an object in
doing them which In itself was bad. do
not care. The deeds were good. Take credit
for them and let me give you credit for
them. That will do neither Of us any
harm"
"I could not tell you-if you would let
me-"

peat that do not wish 10 know. The one
thing that have seen is bad enough. Let
that be all. Do you not see that? Besides.

"The only cause" said Unorua bitterly.
''Then am in some way responsible. L
am not quite without blame-we men never
are in such cases. If reproach you /
must reproach myself as we'll"
"Reproach yourseli-ah, mol What can
you say against yourself?" she could not
keep the love out of her voice, if she would;
her bitterness had been Tor herself.
"I will not go into that" he answered.
II am to blame in one way or another. Let
us say no more about it. Will you let the
matter rest?"

scarcely in better case than her old victim.
Amalf at least can urge that nature had the
larger part in her catastrophe, tor in the
storms and earthquake of 1343 her docks
and arsenals. her prosperity and security,
plunged down into the Deep, Since then
the statesmen and warriors, admirals and
merchants, have deserted her. Her mighty
fleets have dwindled to a few fishing vessels
drawn up along the shore, her commerce
with the rich seaports of the East is dead,
and the scant survivors of those who
thronged her markets inherit but pitiful
trade in fnacaroni, the golden tubes of
which may be seen drying in every sunny
space among her narrow and precipitous
streets.
Alone Of all the vanished glories, the
Cathedral Of st. Andrea remains, with its
steep flight of steps leading up to the ample
forecourt, its marble columns and its stately
pulpit inlaid with all the noble intricacy of
precious mosaic work. Her very Iall,
however, has made Amalf a fascinating
spot wherein to dream away the winter
months; and few who have once sat brood
ing upon her past in the fair garden of the
Cappucciui, high up above the colored tile
work of the Cathedral cupolas and the clus-
tering, white-walIed houses of the town,
can look back to it without regret from
among the luxuries of far richer and more
prosperous cities.

very originality, to those who are nourished
in the literatures that spring from it, may
appear as commonplace, yet. in the long
run, it keeps its place. Greece remains, in
some sense, the model for those who know
not her tongue or her history, and the means
whereby her spell is brought home to these

evidence of her power"
Commanding Influence of Greek Literature.
Every student Of literature knows that
ancient Greece did more for the develop
ment of the human intellect and the spread
ing of liberal culture than any other nation.
She stands forth pre-eminent as the only
nation whose influence over the human
mind outlived the passing away OF her ma
terial greatness. Alone among all the
nations that were subjugated BY Roman
arms Greece enchained her brutal conquero
in the golden bands of intellectual su-
premacy as acknowledged by the Roman
poet in the well-known lines:
Graecia capita forum captorem cepit ct artes
This intellectual supremacy of Greece,
which naughty Rome freely Acknowledged

was required to instruct both the actors and
chorus. On the appointed day the several
competing drapatists presented their com.
positions in the great theater before an audi.
ence which sometimes numbere as many as
10000.
From morn to noon, from noon to dewy
eve, summers day, TRACED after tragedy
was presented, for three days in succession,
before the most cultured audience the worl d
has ever seen. No wonder. that victory in
such contest was highly priced. 1t meant
the making Of great name. The semi
circular theater, rising tier above tier, con-
verging from every part on the com para
rative]y small stage, was we'll adapted to
catching the words and thoughts of the
author, as we'll as to witnessing the action
but there was little attempt at mere stage
effect in the modern sense. The actors wore
masks, which were provided with an
apparatus for carrying the voice far. They
also used high heeled busk ins whereby they
appeared of proportionate size at a distance.
A certain amount of machinery was used
for stage purposes, such as for producing
thunder and lightning, for letting down or
up deus ex machina, and for showing an
interior scene. Usually, the scene was the
The actors always CAME on the stage BY the
doors in the back, not through side wings as
now. They spoke from platform which
was somewhat elevated above the floor of
the stage proper, where the chorus moved
and sang. The accompanying illustration
of the scenery and stage to be used in Holy
Ghost College for representing "Alcestis''
will give an idea of the Greek original.
Something About Euripides' AIcestis.
1t now remains to say few words about
Euripides and his beautiful dramn, "Al-
cestis." Euripides was born in '48O B. G.
He was thus the junior OF Sophocles by only
15 years. He represented his first play in
455, year after the death of the great Es-
chylus. He won the first tragic prize in
AL and again afterwards. He died in 4O6.
one year before Sophocles. Euripides was
the most pathetic of the Greek tragedians.
He had a deep, phflosophic mind, which
paid little respect to the gods and goddesses
of mythology. His open infdellty made
him very unpopular at Athens. Yet he
speaks, in one of the fragments we possess
OF him, of "the One, Himself unseen, who
seeth ALL" and it il SAID that the word con-
science appears for the first time in his
writings.
Of the many works of Euripides we DOS.

was better than that OF 10000 women.
Here Is a striking object lesson on the infu-
ence OF Christianity. The nobleness OF
woman has always existed, but Christianity
alone has taught man to recognize woman as
his equal in moral worth, and his superior
in her claims to chIvalrous protection.
This and many other instructive lessons
can be gathered from Witnessing the rep
resentation of such play as the cal
cestis." The mise en- scene of the play
takes one back to tie great tbeater over
looking the Pireus; the very costumes, in
their strictly classical form, reflect the SIM
pie, yet highly aesthetic taste of the ancients.

A SCORPION ON THE WATER

Simple Experiment That Is Performed
With Little Camphor.
New York Press.l
Place on the surface of the water con-
tanned in large glass bowl several pieces
OF camphor of unequal sizes in such man
ner as to form the shape of any animal, for
instance, scorpion. After while the
scorpion will begin to move itself in the
liquid: you will see it move its legs as if it
wanted to swim or agitate its tail convul-
sively.
Our scorptsn swims ON the water, but
partly submerged, which proves that the
density of the camphor is in lerior to that of
the water, but nearly equal to it. The
animal does not melt in the liquid;
camphor is there ore indissoluble in water.
II we put it into alcohol, instead.

A PRETTY PLACE TO DREAM

F1owery Amaln and Its Fall From Great
ness to Quiet Decay.
Even in midwinter, one may sit beneath
the vine-clad pergola amid the scent OF
roses, and look out in sheltered ease over
the little city of Amalfi; for. fallen as she
has from her high estate, she is an ancient
city. Once, in the long ago. she and her
neighbor Atrani formed a republic Of the
stoutest independence. She elected her own
Doge, boasted a university, an arsenal, and
docks, and warred most vigorously, albeit
with various fortunes, against the Norman
kings of Sicily, and her two distant rivals,
Genoa and Pisa. In the end Pisa over
came her. though the victor now is

years ago. This performance will be as in
teresting as, we believe, it is unique in the
annals Of Pittsburg. An able writer in a
recent number of the Contemporary ReUiew,
speaking of the representation of Euripides'
Ion" at Cambridge, glories in the tact that
a msterialistic age, inclined to cast ON
classic lore something of the shadow that
has fallen on its ancient ally, theology,
finds in the very headquarters of the new
learning that, in some sense "the old is
BETTER" as evidenced by the crowds that
hurry year by year to witness the Greek
play atthe great universities.
I'm TRUTH" this writer continues, "the
charm of Greek literature can no more wear
out or grow stale than that Of nature ITSELF
For 1t is the one absolutely original litera-
ture accessible to US, and, although this

old, middle and new. The first corresponds
to the lampoon or caricature; the second to
the review, or criticism; the third to the
modern comic drama. Tragedy kept well
within the lines traced out for it by Aristotle,
who defined it as being IAN imitation of an
action that is important, entire, and Of
proper magnitude, in the way not of narra-
tion, but of action, effecting through pity
and terror the correction and refinement of
the passions" Mythology supplied the
materials for tragedy. We know of only
two historical plays-the "Capture Of
Miletus" of Phrynicus, and the 'Persians''
Of Eschylus.
Peculiarities OF Greek Tragedy.
A Greek play was not divided into acts,
but into three parts: ~ Prologue, which
contained all that part which preceded the
first song of the chorus; (2) the episode,
which comprised all the plot to the un-
raveling of the catastrophe; (3) the exode,
which contained the denouement of the
piece. Another peculiarity which distin-
guished ancient tragedy from ours was the
chorus. It was the personifcation of the
thought inspired by the represented action;
the incorporation into the action itself of
the sympathy of the poet, considered as the
spokesman of human nature. 1t was, in a
word. the spectator idealized. The number
of the chorus varied 1t different times, but
it was finally settled at 15. The chorus re-
NAMED nearly always on the stage, and this
helped to preserve the unity of time, place
and action.
These unities formed another peoulisrity
of ancient drama. There was no jumping
from one epoch or place to another in the
course Of the representation, and the action
itself was required to be one, important, and
entire. There was, consequently, little or
no change of scenery. Again, the number
of actors was limited to three, called re.
spectively, protagonistes, deuteragonistes
and tritagonistes. And while the number
OF personages represented might be numer-
Gus. the three actors divided all the parts
between them, not including, of course, the
mute persona.
The Representation of Greek Plays.
Tragic contests took place at the great
Dionysian festivals. A dramatist who
wished to enter the lists for the tragic prize
was required to submit to the first archon
trilogy, or three tragedies connected in
plot, and satirical drama. If his compost
tion was deemed worthy of appearing, he
was assigned chorus The expenses of
the chorus. which were very considerable.

1t seemed best to accept her appearance
without question, lest an inquiry should
lead to fresh outburst, more unbearable
now than before. since there seemed to be
no way of leaving the house without expos
ing her to danger. A nervous man like
Israel Kafka might spring UP at any mo-
nent and do something desperate.
Alter they had taken their places, the
silence lasted some moments.
"You did not believe all that told you
this EVENING"" said Unorna, softly, with an
Interrogation in her voice.
No." the Wanderer answered, quietly,
81 did not.''
