Wilson Barrett's historical drama,

attraction at the Metropolitan opera

night. Mr.. Barrett understands as few
others do how to effectively stage and
costume a play and he has never dons
better work in this line than in this, the
most successful of his many produce
lions. Rome just before its downfall,
when vice and prodigalty ruled the EN-
peror and his court, and when a little
band of lowly believers In the new faith
of Christianity were hunted like Wild
beasts and put to death for the amuse-
ment of a pagan nation, is the scene of
the action of the play. The love of
Marcus Superbus. noble patrician, for
a Christian maiden, is the central idea
around which the story is constructors
story that tells of the gradual winning
over of the man to the faith of the
woman, whose beauty alone at first at
tracted him, but whose purity and
strength of faith at last led him to a
martyrs doom in the arena Mr.. Bar
rett, knowing the value of strong con-
trasts, has alternated scenes of vice ard
prodigal luxury with those showing the
simple purity and patient suffering of the
despised Christians, thus heighteni1g the
effect of each.
In the company are many prominent
players who are visiting this country for
the first time, although they have. been

VACCINATION.

How the Discovery Of the Preventive
Virus Was Made and Applied.
During the eighteenth century it was
common talk among the country peo-
pie Of England and Scotland that milk
ers of cows never had the smallpox.
At q time when this disease was one
Of the scourges Of Europe such q
fact naturally attracted attention.
Physicians in the cities did not regard
the country notion AZ worthy Of notice.
When an epidemic threatened they In
oculated healthy persons with small
pox virus to give them the disease.
Then 1t was treated from the start
under favorable conditions. The chief
effect Of the method was to make the
inoculated person certain he was to be
seriously Ill, while the uninoculated
might possibly escape. Jonathan Ed
wards was one Of the famous victims
Of incubation.
It was left for an obscure country
physician, DR.. Jenner, to recognise the
scientific Importance Of the tradition
about the immunity Of mixers. BY
his experiments In 1895 he proved that
incubation with cowpox virus carried
protection against smallpox. He wrote
. pamphlet on his experiments and
sent 1t to the Royal College Of Physi-
clans in London. The manuscript was
returned with . contemptuous reply.
The discovery was OF too great import
ance not to make an impression, and

NEW PROOF or EVOLUTION.

Theory Sustained b. Con-
paring the Blood Of Men ana Apes'
The latest proof Of the correctness OF
Darwin's assertion that there 70 near
between man and ape 10 furni-
shed by discovery Of the correspond
ence between the blood of man and the
ape.
Blood exposed to the air coagulates-
forms jellylike mass. After q time
the coagulum contracts and expels y
perfectly clear fluid called serum.
Lately experiments with this natural
serum showed some queer results.
When the serum Of rabbit was mixed
with the blood Of an animal not closely
related to It, for instance q guinea pig.
the blood corpuscles OF the guinea pig
were thereby Dissolved. But the serum
Of the rabbit mixed with the blood Of q
closely related animal, hare. for In
stance, did not affect the blood Of the
hare at all.
The serum Of q horse works no
change in the blood Of the donkey. but
destroys (dissolves) the blood corpus
cles Of the rabbit, lamb or man. The
dog. fox and wolf readily permit ex-
change Of blood. while the blood cor
puscles Of the dog are dissolved by cat
serum. This, then. seemed to furnish
new and sure means for establishing
blood relationship between animals.
Experiments with human serum show.
ed that 1t dissolves the blood corpuscles
of all vertebrates, also those OF the
lower ape. But the experiments with
the higher apes gave different results.
Neither the blood corpuscles Of the
orang -0utang nor those of the gibbon
were dissolved by human serum, and
human blood was carried into the
blood course Of chimpanzee without
in the least affecting the latter's con-
dition.
These experiments serve to show
that the blood Of man and that Of the
higher apes must be looked upon as
identical. It Is absolutely sure that
none Of the tested serum Of animal re-
sembles the human blood AZ closely a.
does the blood of those three apes-the
orang- outang, chimpanxee and gibbon.
This highly interesting scientific dis
covery furnishes new proof for the pro-
liability Of mans evolution from lower
animals. 1t throws some light on the
sorry experience had with TRANSMISSION
Of animal blood in the blood suffering
human beings. Some scientists main

Tratnins Boys IL Germany.

A writer describing In . Philadel-
phia daily the methods Of schools in
Germany. states that the manual
training schools in Germany are es-
pecially intended for the class of boys
who idle away their time before and
after school ON the street.
Theregular session closes at half past
two O'Clock In the afternoon, and after
this time the boys who, either through
poverty or the indifference Of parents.
are not properly and BEAUTIFULLY en-
ployed must attend the industrial
school for the rest Of the day.
In the summertime the boys, divid-
ed into classes, each under the super
vision Of teacher. are trained system
atically in all the branches OF garden
ing. At other seasons Of the year the
boys are engaged at various light
crafts In wOrkrooms. such as making
Of baskets, brushes and brooms, and
plain carpentry. where the use Of tools
is taught. Typesetting and bookbind-
ing are taught to the advanced and
older classes.
Each boy receives small remuner-
alton for his work when 1t is faithfully
and obediently performed. The money,
however, 10 not paid to him directly.

and from time to time he receives his

cination Jenner and other docrora vac
cinAted 10000 persons In England.
In spite Of the success Of the process
there were many In the early part OF
the century who doubted its efficacy.
The experience OF the last thirty years
has demonstrated the value of vaccina-
ton beyond the possibility of doubt.
In Chemnitx. Germany. city Of Ca
GOO Inhabitants. there was smallpox
epidemic in 1901. About $4,000 Of
the inhabitants had been vaccinated.
Only 1.8 per cent Of them contracted
the disease. OF the unvaccinated more
than 46 per cent were Ill. Among the
vaccinated less than per cent of the
cases resulted fatally. Among the I'M
protected the percentage was above 8.
Statistics Of the armies In Franco
Prussian war show the same general
results. The German soldiers were
carefully vaccinated. while the French
were not. During a widespread cpl
demic Of smallpox the German lost
only $50 men from the disease. while
the French lost 23.4OO. In general It
has been shown that the danger Of in
lection IL six times as great and the
mortality sixty-eight times as great In
the unvaccinated as In the vaccinated.
Vaccination Is compulsory through
out most Of Europe. In France the law
Is loosely enforced and the London
Daily Mail is authority for the state
ment that 14.OOO Frenchmen die an
nually from the disease. while It car
ries or only no Germans year. The
parents Of every child born in England
must, within six months after the
child's birth. have It vaccinated by a
registered medical practitioner or by
the public vaccinator. In case par
ent believes vaccination will be harm
full to his child he can secure exemp-
ton by taking oath before two Justices
Of the peace before the child Ia four
months old. BY such stringent meth
DDS ~ these England and other count
ries have prevented the recurrence Of
those epidemics which were 30 dis
astrous century ago. The case is one
where. the ounce Of prevention IL

One does not need to be lawyer In
order to realize the force Of Gen. Man.
derson's address before the American
Bar Association, respecting the neces-
sity Of uniform divorce laws. No two
States exactly agree in statutory treat
ment of the subject What Is cause for
divorce In one State Is not cause In an
other. The result Is that the legiti-
macy Of children Is called In question,
real estate titles are clouded and many
other injustices and annoyances con-
tinually arise which could be wholly
avoided by uniformity Of divorce laws
In all the States. Nor is there any Sc
rious obstacle In the way of attaining
such uniformity. A joint convention
Of representative lawyers from the va
rious States would agree upon a de-
eirable statute and the various Legis-
latures would undoubtedly enact the
necessary legislation. Any Governor
who should take the initiative In the
matter might depend upon meeting
with q friendly response from his fel.
low executives. And even II there
should be few dissenters large ma
1ority Of the States would reach an
agreement which would greatly Inn
prove the situation. 1t Is unfortunate
that there should be any necessity at
all for divorce. The severing of the
