"Tbe Mandarin Zune" Will Have Fine
Cast at Crescent Park.

Boyden's Crescent Park will be more
than ever the mecca Of the pleasure
seeker this summer, and IN q few days
"Zune parties" will be all the rage. 1t
is a novelty Tor an open-air summer resort
to attempt the initial production of a
musical work OF such character as the
"Mandarin Zune," and Crescent Park is
the one place on the coast where such a
feat could be accomplished. The "Man-
DARN Zune" demands the services OF
more than 20 people In It's preliminary
stages, and the park just now Is very
busy place. Rehearsals at the rate OF
three a day arc rapidly bringing the
singers into line, and II Is pleasant to
note the enthusiasm with which the
artists. without Gn exception, speak Of
the work
The story OF the book IL a clean cut ro-
nance, growing out OF a one-night's ex-
perience, and while "Zune" Is a villain,
he is ono OF those delightfully."- cool
ruiiians whose "sang iroid" u never COM
pletely upset. Mr.. James Gilbert, to
whom the task OF staging the opera has
been entrusted, has picked his company
for its work. Raymond Hitchcock comes
from the Carleton Opera Company to play
the "Zune, and Richard Quilter from
Harrigan's will give the best inspirat ions
OF his Irish wit to Illsh, the harem
keeper. Mr.. Gilbert has taken no chances
on anybody, and took his people upon a
personal knowledge OF what each has
zone and could do. The sprima, Miss
Ethel Balch 10 a very pleasing little lady,
who is sure 20 be general favorite, aside
from her attract!vcness as a singer, and
she never had more grateful task than
the part of Altbea, ana the Interpretation

Mr.. Il. G. Knights, however, will
rank next TO Mr.. Reeves in Importance
on the opening night, as he not only
makes his first appearance on the profes-
sional stage, but assumes the leading
part as wen. His fine tenor voice will find
pleasant occupation In the score of the
opera, and musical circles in Providence

The Expansion of Ice.

Ice never bursts from freezing. As
soon as the liquid Of which it is COM
posed is frozen solid expansion ceases.
The cracking or bursting of ice is
brought about in this way: When water
is subjected to extreme cold, ice crystals
will gradually form ON its surface until
the same are covered with thin coat of
what appears to be wet snow From
this outer coating of ice crystals all sub
sequent freezing goes downward, the
ice thlckening according to the degree
OF cold. The water which is being con-
verified into ice now begins to expand,
creating pressure upon the unfrozen
water below. This pressure is both
downward and outward, and in case the
water under observation is in vessel
the sides and bottom of the receptacle
supply the resistance. ,r
AS the freezing process continues the
pressure upon the confined water and air
in the interior of the bulk increases un-
til something yields. If the vessel be
stronger than the ice stratum that has
formed over the surface, the layer Of ice
will be bent upward at the center, that
being the weakest point, on account of
the fact that the outer edges of the con-
gealed mass are frozen fast to the sides
Of the vessel in which the experiment is
being made. In this condition the center
of the ice continues to rise or "bulge"
until it bursts from the resistance Of the
water below. Could the vessel be tap
h01 MD" =,
off, no amount of freezing would be
sufficient to crack or bulge the ice layer
on the surface. st. Louis Republic

One day in Sixth avenue chophouse
well dressed young man sitting at a
table not far from me finished his lunch
and asked for his check, but as it was
brought to him he suddenly rose up and
hurried to the cashier S desk, which was
near the door, and said: -
Sir, have dropped $50 out of my
pocket in this place! Let no one go out
; until make search!'' .t
"Where's your check?" he was asked.
Here it is. had two twenties and

Two minutes later all officer hustled
in to see what was wanted. The cashier
was telling him that he had deadbeat

to leave, and the young mans $50 was

covered by her skirts. o..E.=

In the year 1868, Mr.. J. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of DR.. Wards Lininent. For
wears he struggled along with limited means,
Striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established living,
paying business, and made the name ''Dr. Ward's'
a household word in thousands of homes. Dur
ing all these long years of toiling: and waiting,
Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could be
$ found so lost to every principle of right and
justice as to undertake to despoil him of his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However, in this
matter, he learned that lie was mistaken. IN
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be DR.. Wards or
.sjust as GOOD as Pr. Wards" frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his busi-
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr.. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the
worldwide right to use his name as trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the u S. Patent Office
5s# No. 1855.
