Testimonial Concert

Kathel Kerr, the basso, who came to
Los Angeles about a year ago for throat
treatment, will leave after the Fiesta for
Arizona. In the past month his throat
has grown alarmingly worse, an fmme-
date change is imperative, and his
friends will tender him testimonial
benefit Easter Monday evening, at the
Simpson tabernacle. Five hundred seats
are already sold and the prospects seem
to point that the benefit will be finan-
cial as well as an artistic success. The
following artists are among those who
will contribute to the program: Mr.. and
Mrs. Morey, Miss Oracle Plaisted, Miss
Isabel Hyatt. Mrs. Pearl M. Severance
Miss Daisy Hitler, Ernest Raymond
Howard, DR.. L. Semler, H. B. Leader,
Cecil Pyne. little Hazel Bryson, Revel
France. Mrs. Calkins and Miss Eva
Ellsworth will be the accompanies.

Concert Rehearsal

1t speaks well for L. F. Gottschalk's s
talent as conductor that he has been
able to accomplish what he has with the
chorus and orchestra that have been or
ganized for the Fiesta concert. Yester-
day morning the orchestra was again
put through its PAGES, and last night an
other choral rehearsal took place. Mr..
Gottschalk seems not only efficient in
knowledge, but born to power and mag
netism in making his people do his will,
and they on their part.have done con-
scientious, earnest work, and altogether
the drilling has been successful in re-
suits that give promise for an exception
ally interesting and enjoyable concert in
the pavilion next Wednesday evening.
Another rehearsal is called for Friday
morning at $3.50 in Music hall, when the
chorus and orchestra will have their first
rehearsal together.

Took Even His Gun

Shortly after - o'clock last Tuesday
night, while William O'Connor an at
tache Of the Burbank bar, was going
home, he was held UP by pair of high
waymen on the southwest corner Of
Eighth and Olive streets. The two
men attacked him just as he had crossed
Eighth street, and O'Connor. who is a
plucky fellow and halls from Sydney,
Australia, knocked the first man down,
but the cold muzzle of gun which the
other assailant thrust into his face
quieted him. He was compelled to give
up all he had. some So and his gun.
After the thieves had satisfied them
selves they had gotten everything in
sight they disappeared down Olive
street. O'Connor is in doubt now as to
just what kind of weapon to carry for
defense in future.

fiected to point where the message
was received on a thin diaphragm of
mica, which served as a mirror. To
intensity the effect a parabolic mirror
at the receiving station focused the rays
at a single point. A bit of Selenium in
cluded in a local telephone circuit was
placed at this point. So long as the mica
remained quiet the electrical current
was steady. The moment a sound was
uttered through the transmitter the
sensitive mica vibrated becoming al
ternately concave and convex. When
convex the rays were dispersed and
when concave they were concentrated
at a point nearer than the parabolic
mirror The result was the same in
both cases. The light focused on the
Selenium was diminished in corre-
spondence with the sound waves acting
on the mica The strength of the cleo
trio current was varied by the varia-
tions in the conductivity of the seleni-
um, which it passed through, and the
sounds We're reproduced in the usual
way. 1t is questioned whether We

A GREAT DISCOVERY.
The Substitution of Light Rays for
an Electric Current.

Professor Alexander Graham Bell is
said to be working out a newly discov-
cred principle, the substituting of light
rays for an electric current and a tele-
phone wire. 1t has been found that
when Selenium is subjected for some
time to a heat of 10 degrees and cooled
slowly its electrical qualities vary with
the intensity of light to which it is ex-
posed. y specimen when exposed to
diffused daylight showed a resistance
of 600 Ohms. In the dark the resist
ance was 200 ohms
When talking through an ordinary
telephone the voice causes a thin dia-
phragm to vibrate, and by means of an
undulating current another diaphragm
in exact synchronism with that of the
transmitter gives rise to air waves like
those of the speaker. Thus, though the
sound does not travel over the line,
there is an exact reproduction of the
original waves. Professor Bell con-
cluded that he could apply the same
principle TO talking along a ray of
light. A pencil of sunlight admitted
through a small aperture, or the rays
of an arc lamp, rendered parallel by
passing throuhg a suitable lens, served
as a source of light. These rays were re-

WOMEN LIVE LONGER.
More Centenarians Among Women
Than Among Men.

A report from the office of the Regis
trar- General of England shows that
there are more female than male CEN
tenarians, says the Baltimore Sun. ,"
Out of 100000 people 225 women
reach the age of 100 years, while only
50 men round out the century. Now,
the great conundrum which is proposed
is: Why is this so? According to the
popular superstition, it takes much
longer for a woman to reach even the
age Of 80 than it takes for a man to
reach that age If this be true, it
makes the showing all the more re-
markable It has been asserted that
association with women makes a man
live longer. as shown by the fact that
the average life of a married man is
longer than the average life of a single
man. The fact, however, is denied by
the endmen at the minStrels, who say
that the life of the married man is
not really longer, but only seems so.
So far there is no satisfactory ex-
plantation of the original proposition
why more women live to be 100. Some
say it is because women are less ad-
dicted to tobacco and strong drink, 9TH
ers say that it is because it is more
healthy to spend money than it is to
earn it, and so ON. 1t may be that
MANY of the men who would live to
be 100 are killed at an early age in
casualties to which women are not ex-
posed. 1t may be that tight lacing is
a life preserver, and it may be not a
fact, after all Possibly the English
Registrar General may be mistaken
The situation is replete with possiblh-
