Elimination consequent upon a diseased
tate of the system, the albumen of the
body was during life replaced by mineral
substances. which after death, in the
dessication natural in a perfectly dry
omb, solidified into a substance resem-

related to an osseous formation.
Another theory is that some leak in
the structure of the tomb, allowed the
water to percolate through the lime
rock and mortar and reach the body,
carrying to it in solution lime sufficient
to petrifaction. Many other theo-

OIGA'S

When the curtain fell on the third act
of "Sapho' on the last night of the en-
gagement at Wallack's, comments the
New York Sun, the audience enthusiasts
tically called upon Olga Nethersole for
a speech. The English actresses friends
had turned out to give her a hearty fare
we'll. She answered with a speech that
for melodlamatic effect and thorough
rehearsal has seldom been surpassed.
She was in that state so dear to an ac-
tress, when lack of breath and excess
of emotion necessitated her hanging on
to a chair for support. After thanking
the audience in the customary way she
said:
| 'The last time I addressed an audi
sion to me. lit was at the reopening of
count of my Illness brought IN by cow

She ended in an outbreak of emotion
which really should be dramatized, and
was stormed With applause and flowers,

DECAY OF WESTMINSTER ABBE

London Telegraph: The latest rea-
sons alleged for the accelerated decay
of some of the stone of Westminster
Abbey is "the smoke from the factories
across the water There is certainly
not much factory smoke either in Paris
or in Brussels as there is in London yet
within the memory of some of the Oldest
inhabitants of these capitals there
never was a period when either Notre
Dame, st. Eustache, or st. Gudule was
free from scaffording. And whatever
may be the case now, there was no
factory smoke in the time of Sir Chris
TOPPER Wren. who pointed out thai the
decay was four inches deep, and fell
off ~perpetually in large scales. Seven
centuries of wear in a country where

York or any other sun are quite sufff-
.cient to d~isintegrate the finest material.
and it is a widely known fact that the
pile was erected with inferior material.
The subsequent additions, except those
of very recent years. were not superior.
and it may be that the renairing has
had the effect of a new patch on an old

ARMY OFFICERS TEETH.

Hospital: Much disappointment has been
felt by many candidates for army employ
ment at being rejected on medical examia-
ton, and among the various reasons as
signed for such rejection none has perhaps
caused more establishment and disgust
among otherwise healthy candidates than
the loss of teeth. But the rule that no one
is to be accepted who has lost ten teeth
remembered that, according to the official
requirements as regards the teeth of
candidates for commissions. decayed teeth,
if we'll filled, are considered as sound.
People, no doubt, get on very we'll at
home with a small number of teeth. and
many struggle on without experiencing
much detriment, even when such teeth as
they possess are far from perfect. But 1T
is another matter in the rough and tumble
of war. The question does not rings, as
some have supposed, on the loss of teeth
being an indication of constitutional weak
ness, for, as is we'll known, it is just as
and a nature impatient of pain. The real
point is as to the power of a comparatively
toothless mar to bear the hardships of war.
and, in regard to this, there can be no
Put it as one will. the loss of ten teeth
must seriously interfere with the power of
mastication, and must, to the same degree,
render a man dependent on his cook-a
together only the toughest food may be
available. Again, although 1T is maintained
by dentists that with well fitting artificial
teeth masticatory power is perfectly re-
with such appliances, as well as those who
possess carious teeth, are far more depend
ent upon the toothbrush than is the case
with those whose teeth are as nature made
them. A time may come, perhaps, when 1t
may be necessary to accept candidates
whose efficiency in the field depends upon
spectacles, false teeth, tooth brushes and
dinner pals. But that time is not yet.

DELLA FOX

Della Fox began her stage career
about Is years ago. At that time her
atiher was a photographer in st. Louis.
He was extensively Datronized by the
profession and through him Della made
the acquaintance of Miss Emma Stiner,
who was the musical director of the Ben
nett & Moulton Opera company, playing
repertoire at cheap prices. Miss Fox con-
fided her ambition to become an actress,
and Miss Stiner secured. her a position
making a decided hit by her ~vivacity
and attractive appearance. Her voice
was of air quality in those days. After
touring severl seasons as prima n
of this company she was engaged by
Heinrich Conreid for a leading part in
Baron Then De Wolf Hopper en-
gagged her for his Her first
big success was when she sang Mahtaya
in Wang" She remained with Hopper
for several seasons or until he married
Edna Wallace. The two women had
petty quarrels and Miss Fox finally quit.
The following season she was starred IN
THE Little Trooper with success, and
then came the Three Star Alliance
Della Fox, Lillian Russell AMI jeff de
Angels. Her last engagement in q big
production was as sta of "The Little
Host which was not a brilliant sue
cess. Her health in the meantime had
begun to decline, and Miss Fox took a
home in New York. Her serious Illness
came at the beginning of the past sea-
son, when she was preparing to return TIC
the stage. For some time 1t was thought
that she could not recover, but careful
nursing gained a hard-fought victory
over disease, and in the early spring she
accepted a splendid offer from the Has
hims to appar in vaudeville. But she
raveled at too rapid a see. as some
others, more fortunte, perhaps, are now
doing.

VIEWS.

on the modern actor, the New York Com

more cultivated than his predecessor
because this is an age of culture. The
public is cultivated. The romantic novel
of the past decade is largely responsible
for this burst of culture. No wonder
his concluding remarks are these:
