door between two rooms latched, and yet
to provide some means by which it can
be readily Unattached and swung open
when it IS necessary TO pass through with
the hands occupied. as. for instance, in
carrying dishes from the dinins-room to
the kitchen. To this end Elf Denne. Of
Winnipeg, Canada, has designed the door
attachment illustrated below. To the
spindle operating the latch OF the door
IS secured a short cran!l-aIIn. which is
connected with a pivoted foot-plate by
a vertical roo. The foot-plate is balanced
by a weight in such a manner that it will
return 10 its normal position Immediately
after the foot IS removed. BY changing
the pivot pin to q short rod and passing
it through the door, a second plate can
be attached on the opposite side, thus
permitting the door to be opened from
either side BY placing the foot on either
plate and applying a slight pressure the
catch is released. when further move
ment of the foot in horizontal direction
Will swing the door open.

The audience at the show Monday
night was sorely disappointed: The
scenic triumph advertised did not
materialize, but to the contrary, as
miserable production Of scenery as
was ever seen on the stage here was
presented. The many readers of Quo
Nadis, a book Respondent in the MARIA
tion of history, graphic in description,
containing throughout fine distinc-
tion between the beautieSof the Chris
tian religion and Roman idolatry, de-
plotting the egotism of MIN, and all in
all, not only a fascinating love story,
but also story of life with Il strong
thread Of morality running through
1t, the readers of that peculiarly great
book expected, at least, something in
the way of scenery, such as the burn
ing of Rome, the torture of the Chris
tians, Ncro's scenes of fcStivity, the
famous ride from Antium. The pre-
sentauion was weak, too, in dramatiZa-
ton. The costumes and the acting Of
two or three of the leadingpeople were
the only redeeming features, the best
of these being Mr.. Augustine Duncan
as Caius Petronius.
Properly dramatizcd and with suit
able scenery Quo Nadis would be one
of the greatest plays of the present
day.

went into business for himself. He
represented on his stationery that he
was the proprietor, while the prosecu-
tion alleges he was only the lessee. and,
therefore, fraudulently obtained
credit.
