the investigation into the Barcelona
bomb outrages, were shot and seriously
wounded by supposed anarchist, who
was subsequently arrested. The man

anarchists. His name is given as
Barril. When questioned regarding
his attempt to assassinate the two
chiefs he admitted he was an anarchist,

TO UTILIZE SEA WAVES
Many Remarkable Projects of Science
in This Line

Among the ideas for utilizing the energy
of the sea waves recorded at the patent
office is one by Torrance Duffy of San
Francisco. He proposes to harness the
ocean so as to make it store compressed
air. The rolling and pitching of ship
built according to his plan operates a
number of air pumps which force air into
reservoirs. From the reservoirs it is con-
Quoted by pipes to the engines, as required
for propelling the vessel, for generating
electricity for lighting. etc., and for TAX
ing in and discharging cargo. p. S. Delvan
of Newark. N. j. has patented plan for
surrounding a vessel with floats. The floats
are connected with the plungers in such
a manner that the motion of the waves
congresses air in receivers. The COM
pressed air thus accumulated is used to
propel the ship.
A California inventor named John Gam
BETA proposes to swing from the mast of
a ship a gigantic pendulum, the oscilla-
tions of which are expected to drive the
propeller. Another genius has designed a
boat that is built like gigantic screw
with a sort of continuous spiral fin envel-
oping it. The action of the waves causes
it to screw itself literally through the
water. The scheme of A. F. Yardell of San
Francisco is to suspend huge box or tank
above the keel of the ship. This is to be
loaded with freight or ballast and, as it
swings to and fro it actuates the propeller.
Another idea, calculated to revoutionize
navigation, is a vessel built in two Sec
tions, which are hinged together amid
ships. AS the waves alternately rock the
opposite ends of the craft the energy is
utilized by means of rocking beams and
suitable gearing and in this way the ship
bumps itself along.
Charles w. Cahoon of Portland, Me-,
would so utilize the undulatory movements
of vessel as to actuate pumps. The
pumps imbibe water at the bow and eject
it at the stern, thus forcing her ahead.
Yet another invention in this line is a
floating hydraulic ram, which is operated
by the impact of the waves. 1t is claimed
there is hardly any limit to the height to
which water may be elevated by this de-
vice. A few years ago an experiment was
made near San Francisco by an inventor
who secured the backing of Mr.. SNtro of
Comstock tunnel fame. His machine was
anchored out in the ocean not far from
shore, and was used to pump water up to
the top of bluff, some hundreds of feet
high. Unfortunately a storm came and
swallowed up the apparatus together with
$15, 900 which had been invested In it. This
catastrophe put an end to the enterprise

City Folks High Takers

"Furny writer's and stage comedians
make the mistake of representing coun-
try people as very loud talkers" re-
marked Colonel Leonard Ainsworth OF
Arkansas. LAS a matter of fact, per-
sons who are accustomed to the quiet
and solitude Of rural life speak in a very
low tone of voice, while those who live
in the constant din and nerve-racking
noises of the city naturally acquire the
habit of talking loudly. The reason for
the difference Is plain.
when you city folks meet on the
street you have to elevate your voices to
high pitch In order to make yourselves
heard. l never come to st. Louis or visit
any other large city that don't soon get
a sore throat from overtaxing my voice.
OF course you who live here are used to
the strain on your voice and don't suffer
from it as 6io.

LOS ANGELES THEATER.-The per"
plexity that besets managers in the
choice of plays may be well understood
in contemplating the manner in which
the play going public has taken, up the
little drama entitled, Rosemary, That's
for Remembrance" which was given last
night by Mr.. John Drew and his excellent
company 1t is we'll known that after
spending a small fortune in getting
new production ready for the stage and
being backed by the sanguine prophecies
of friends, many manager has found
his hopes dashed to the ground in sim
gle night, and his money thrown away.
The war dramas, such as Shenandoah"
and Alabama" succeed for reason5
that are readily understood. But the do
mestic drama, which depends not upon
action, but on the unfolding of charac-
Ter, is much greater risk for manager
| to take. Success depends not alone
upon the author, but largely upon the
manner in which his suggestions are en-
bodied in the creations of the artists
entrusted with that duty.
Nothing but acting OF very superior
kind could save the work of Messrs.
Louis N. Parker and Murray Carson
from failure.
Rosemary" is in four acts, but it has
the appearance of having been origin
ally constructed in two, and with very
slight alteration the curtain might fall
on a finished comedie'tta at the close of
the second act. The subsequent events.
or happenings, are apparently after
thoughts, by means of which the au-
thors were enabled to piece out play
sufficient for whole evenings enter
tainment and to afford Mr.. Drew an op-
portunity for character sketch.
Mr.. Parker has clever ideas about in
PRODUCING, as he did in ''The Mayfiowe :"
some mention of an historic event which
settles the date of his play So, in the
first act of Rosemary" we find two
| gentlemen walking on a dark road on
stormy night; the rain is beating with
violence, and the property moon. appears
and disappears a regular intervals Yet
one of these gentlemen is reading, as he
walks, the third monthly part of Dick
ems nicholas Nickleby," which is sup
posed to have just come out. The feeble
light of the lantern he carries is hardly
sufficient for the purpose, bnt not only
is the eccentricity of the reader thus
made plain, but valuable historic date
is esta blished.
The first act is not very satisfactory.
Realism requires rain and darkness; the
friendly moon does little to tighten the
scene and the dialogue is all done in a
half darkness which. however, reveals
the fact that the soaking rain does not
affect the curl of the lady's feathers
