" The Telephone Girl"

1.-THE Telephone Girl when it was
first produced at the New York Casino
last year, was received with hostile
newspaper criticism. From that time
on the house was crowded. When this
unusual comedy was revived for one
week at the same place in the begin
ming of summer, its popularity was so
great that it was continued for many
weeks. Louis Mann and Miss Clara
Lipman will appear in the parts that
they originated This talented pair
have opportunities unlimited to display
their varied accomplishments in 1.-THE
Telephone Girl" which will be seen at
the Lyceum Thursday night.

LARGE FORCE FOR OTIS.
Fourteen Thousand Regulars to Rrpne~
Volunteers.

New York. April 2O.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: Four
teen thousand regulars are to be sent
to reinforce General Otis at Manila rs.
soon as the necessary marine trans
portation can be provided.
The first regiment to be ordered will
probably be the Seventh artillery, of
which the two light batteries and NJ
have been ordered home from Porto
Rico for the purpose. They will be
sent at once to san Francisco to await
an available transport steamer The
thirteen heavy batteries of the regl-
ment will be equipped as infantry, ac
cording to present plans. although one
OF them may be used rs light artillery
1t is not expected that the bulk nf
the large body of reinforcements can
reach Manila until the end of the rainy
season. which has just begun. but they
will closely follow the departure from
the Philippines of the volunteers. With
the regular troops already ordered and
on the way to Manila. General Otis
will have an effective force of 21.7?S
men, in addition to the recruits being
sent every few days for the regulars
already In the Philippines. This force
is to be raised to 35.OOO men by the
time the aggressive operations can be
pressed In the early autumn.

GROW Mos. at Night.

1t is curious fact that night is the
time which nature utilizes for growth.
Plants grow much more in the night
than in the daytime, as can be proved
any time by measurement.
Measure vine at night, then meas
ure 1t again in the morning and the
next night, and it will be found thai
the night growth is two or three times
that accomplished during the day.
During the day the plant is very
busy gathering nourishment from va
rious sources. and during the night this
raw material is assimilated into the
plant life
The same fact is true OF the animal
creation. Children grow more rapidly
during the night.
In the day time. while the child l.
awake and active. the system Is kept
busy disposing OF the W ties conse-
quent on this activity; but during sleep
the system is free to extend its opera
tions beyond the mere replacing OF
worn-out particles, hence the rapid
growth.

The vIrginn City. Nevada, Chronicle
says that General McGlashan OF
1'ruckee has completed his test of sub
stituting structures of wire netting for
the wooden sheds, on the line of the
Central Pacific railroad across the Sier-
ra snow belt, with satisfactory results.
and will submit to the Southern Pnciiic
Company proposition to adopt that
method Of keeping the roadbeds clear
of snow during the winter. The tests
made showed that scarcely any snow
sifted through the interstIces Of the
wire netting during the heaviest storm
Of this winter. The inventor claims
that by the use of wire netting not only
will the annual loss from fire be avert
ed, but its substitution will enable
tourists to obtain an unobstructed
view OF the fine scenery while crossing
the Sicrras. The building OF mile
OF wooden snowsheds costs $1S,OOO.
and the construction OF wire netting
would be much cheaper.

THIS KITCHEN is LARGE

The last OF the works of the much

and improved royal kitchen at Wind.
sor castle. 1t stands-perhaps the
largest single kitchen in the world
on ground where royal kitchens have
stood from time immemorial.
George Nv. 1t was, who, in 1928, gave
It its lofty roof and top-light ventila-
tors, Its splendid clock let into the
stone walls and Its generally medieval
appearance. says the Pail Mall Maya
zine. At either end Of the kitchen IL
fixed an immense and venerable smoke
Jack, whose origin is lost in the mists
Of antiquity. One Of these annually
has the honor of roasting Victoria's
baron Of beef. The hot-plate table in
the center Of the kitchen measures nc
less than IA by 9 feet.
The batterie decuisine in its brilliant
array Of glittering copper is large
enough to cheer the hearts Of the small
army of gourmands, and, to show its
once is NO sinecure, one may mention
that 1t has to make an annual visit to
= manufacturer for restoration and
1..air. Lady Bloomfield says of this
kitchen in 1912:
"The IRE was more like Nebuchad-
nezzar's burning fiery furnace than
anything else can think Of: and

tIon of Cyclone and -Four Queens. six
teen claims and parts OF claims, EN-
brncing considerably more than hull
dred acres, and the price was $4,000
600.
1t is considered by the best mining
engineers that the company which has
purchased this property at such hand
some figure has made the best bargain
that ever came from Colorado. Il. A.
Richards estimate OF the value of ;he
developed ore bodies Is $I,OOO,OOO, and
as nothing is to be done but to break
down and hoist the ore the profits that
can be realized from the developed por-
tion of the mine alone are estimated at
s.. .OOO,O 600.
Besides the ore in sight 1t Is consid-
cred that the ground below the present
workings, the depth of the mine being
only 300 feet, are many times greater
than what has been already produced
and blocked out. Taking the estimate
of the standing ore and what is known
to have been produced from the upper
levels. and 1t gives the magnificent sum
OF S11,OOO.O00 with only 300 feet de-
velopment-a record that has never
been excelled by any mine on earth.
