The entire cascade picture may first
be made in white light, then by
means OF dimming apparatus this
light dies down and imperceptibIy
changes to another color, Frightening
by slow changes until the maximum
illumination is obtained. The specta-
tors will be unable to determine the
point at which the color change takes
rlace.

London; Dec. 22:-Lord Rothschfld,
While declining to venture an opinion
as to the outcome Of the Japanese
Russian crisis, said: Zone OF the most
important factors is whether America
will seize the opportunity to press her
claims for open ports in Manchuria-
If she does so, it would certainly help
peaceful solution. 1 have heard of
no suggested loans, either Japanese or
Russian. What they would have to do
in case of war is al hypothesis I do
not care to discuss. So far there is no
war and the present conditions are
quite puzzling enough without endeav-
oring to prophesy."
