And microscopes do make ice cream
Look like drunkards awful dream

And now French savants dare to tell
That loves microbe Well--oh-welll
We dare not yield us to our fears
For there are microbes in our tears;
Ave microbes swim in ev'ry tear,
And in each foaming glass of beer
Each has microbe in H.
Since loves microbe, bless the dear

DROUGHT "COLD"
FOR THESPIANS
CUNNING THE MAGICIAN SAYS
THAT THESE ARE HARD TIMEa
FOR THE PROFESSION"

Cunning the Magician who passed
through here yesterday on the Sonoma
says the drought in Australia is some
thing beyond conception 1t is at its
worst in New South Wales and Queens
land, and extending thence over central
Australia. OF S0,000,000 sheep at the
beginning of the drought he says that
40, 100000 have persisted. In some places
the people are still hanging on in hope
to their holdings though there has been
no rain for seven years. He says that
actually there are children in these
localities six years old and more who
have never seen rain.
In many towns and villages where
there used to be handsomely kept parks
there is scarcely a vestige of any kind
of vegetation, and the whole water sup
ply of the town is brought in barrels On
wagons or by train for miles.
The drought has had the most de-
pressing effect on business of all kinds,
and particularly on the theatrical and
amusement business. Scarcely any one
in the profession has done well, and
most of them have done very badly in
deed.
Il was in Australia only about two
months" says Cunning Il went then to
New Zealand and played the r. r. Dix
circuit for five months with good sue
cess For two months following that, |
was with the Kelly & Ashley team, VINO
were part of Lee & Rails people We
toured the smaller places in New Zea-
land as the American Vaudeville Com
pany.
Il expect to play the Orpheum circuit
when | get back to the coast, and l
have contract to go back to Australia
and New Zealand again in about nine
months.

THE TUNA SWIMS
MILE A MINUTE
EASY JOGGING FOR 4 SPLINTER
OF THE sEA-SWIMMING POWER
OF GAME FISH

Irving Wright, is one of the most
successful fishermen in this region, has
just returned home from that fishers
paradise, Santa Catalina Island, and
stands sponsor for a tuna story when
gives some idea of the wonderful
swimming power of the big Pacific
game fish.
VERY few tunas have been caught
up to the very time l left" he said,
but one of those which wasn't caught
taught me something that makes me
wonder still. Tunas, according to the
Catalina fishermen, can sprint under
water something like 800 feet in four
and a half seconds. That is a fact that
has been recorded time and again as
one of the big fellows was taking out
the line of the reel The tuna can, if
he feels like it, give odds to the fast
est express trains in the world.
The day j saw Mr.. Tuna l was out
for black bass in a naphta launch.
There was a little 'spat in the water
few rods off, and a little flying fish
bounced out on a fight through the
air. He had just barely cleared the
water when there was an angry swirl
right under his tail.
That tuna is after the flying fish,
said the man who was with me.
'Bosh, said l; he might as we'll
give it up. The tuna can't keep track
of a flying fish.
You'll change your mind said my
companion.
Then We looked at the flying fish.
Now, | don't want to say how far that
| flying fish actually went in the air Peu-
pie say that they're capable of doing a
| half-mile flight. This one apparently
came pretty near it.
"A flying fish doesn't have to go back
into the water at the end of his flight
| either. He merely comes down on the
water kicks it and is off again. OF
! course, he can't keep that up a thou
| sand years, but it's wonderful how far
| he can go. This little chap made a
| beautiful flight, and when he came
| and went off again at a sharp angle on
the second flight.
He had barely got out of the water,
when old Mr.. Tuna kicked up a big
| swirl right under him. We were on
! tiptoes then. The flying fish made a
/ second flight, almost as good as his
first and then spun off again like a we'll
! thrown clam shell in skipping match.
! But again there was a swirl under him
just after he started. He made five
flights from the time we first saw him.
and every time he started he changed
! his direction.
But the tuna wasn't doing his chas-
/ ing for fun alone. He was looking for
that flyer to fill a greedy stomach. And
just as the little chap was beginning his
sixth flight in a dazed frightened way,
he was grabbed and drawn under
| New York Sun.
