 The Family Show at the Douglas Op- era House was we'll worthy of the large patronage it received. "Mistakes Rec tified, or Mushroom Catsup," kept the audience in roars of laughter. The it. lustrated songs by Miss Lillian Marsh were indeed excellent. Prof. Dell Adelphia made hit, as he always does. :. Little Maudie Kramer did the High land fling in manner that made her more tban ever favorite The Marsh es in their "Bad Mistake" and Fred Purinton with his new songs were ap- preciated by all. The Kramers then appeared in speciality called "Bric Brac." Little Maudie proved herself to be the whole thing as dancer. Her work was remarkable And last came LaLista, the "Queen of Fire.' This production alone was we'll worth the price of admission. Mr. Gius is to be congratulated upon his success in bringing together such an aggregation of talent. The shows at the Douglas Opera House are getting better all the time.

 The Easter hat in it's glory, tells the old, old story How the women go to church, and from some convenient perch view each new creation with the greatest veneration.

 We call attention to the new ad of the Island Lumber Mills, Green & Sla- ter, proprietors, in this issue. The saw mill started up this morning. All the machinery has been overhauled since the fire.

The bright little life, that blessed and frightened their home for few short years, has ended and the little voice will be heard no more. May the Great Ruler help them as they again take up life's burdens and it's cares to bear their loss with patience.

AERIAL POLO.
a Queer Kind of Amusement on .
Pacific Ocean Island.

Writing on "Our Equatorial Islands"
in the Century, James ID. Hague says:
1t became an amusing diversion to
overturn the large fiat stones beneath
which the rats were hiding in solid
masses and watch them as they scam
pered in all directions, pursued and
quickly snatclpd up by the man-o' war
hawks. These crafty birds were apt to
learn that the appearance of a man
walking on the island, especially with
dog, meant rats for them, and any
one thus going forth was usually fol-
lowed by lowering flock, ready and
impatient for the sport they had
learned to expect. A rat brought to
hand by the dog was quickly tossed in
air, where the birds were ready to
snatch 1t, sometimes with contest on
the wing for the disputed possession.
One form Of this sport, sort of aerial
polo, which seemed to be as good fun
for the birds as for the observers, con-
sisted in tossing two rats into the air
at the same moment, not singly and
apart, but tied together with about
six feet of strong Irvine.
Instantly the birds made dash for
the rats, and the successful winner of
the first prize went sailing off with
sne rat in his bill and the other swing
ing in the air beneath until snatched
by the second winner, when, after q
quick, sharp struggle and taut strain
or the cord, the bird with the weaker
hold was compelled to let go. This
then went on as a continuous perform
ance, with somewhat Jonah-like but
rapidly repeated disappearance and
Temperatures of the little rats, swal-
lowed and reluctantly disgorged by
the birds In quick succession until the
flock, thoroughly exhausted by their
impetuous fight and extraordinary
exercise. alighted on the ground for
short truce, when the two temporary
shareholders would be found sitting
face to face, keenly eying each other
from opposite ends Of the string still
connecting them, each anXiously on
The sharp lookout for sudden jerks and
unpleasant surprises. while all the 9TH

waiting for the two prize birds to fly.

seemed to verify the familiar adage
shat the pleasure is not in the game,
but I'm the chase.

SCIENCE SETTINGS.

While volcanic eruptions are usually
restricted in area. earthquakes are not.
If all the mountains in the world
were leveled, the average height of
the land would rise nearly $50 feet.
The face of Jupiter presents con-
siderable number OF markings, notably
one great scarlet patch covering nearly
100000 square miles.
The amount of heat produced by an
average man in days work would be
sufficient to raise siXty-three pounds of
water from freezing to boiling point.
Cirrus clouds were once observed at
height of ASSOC feet. This is by far
the greatest height at which cloud
vapor has ever been noted above the
surface of the earth.
Experiments made while in balloon
show that when a height Of $4,000
feet has been reached the number of
corpuscles in the human blood have in
creased by one-third.
The atmospheric pressure upon the
surface of an ordinary man is 81, 400
pounds, or over fourteen and q half
tons. The ordinary rise and fall of the
barometer increases or. decreases this
pressure Ivy $500 pounds.
